I'll take nobody watches CNN for $1000, Alex

This is a article by Vivek Saxena for Business & Politics mocking CNN's John King for presuming Jeopardy! contestants are so dull as to rely on CNN for their information. Lord knows, they try so hard for so long, unrelentingly and so singleminded.

I'll take "Reality vs Political Onanist Fantasy for 800, Alex."

Three serious smarty-pants contestants failed to question correctly a Mueller investigation-related answer. The category was "Recent Stuff" and the answer was "In 2017, this ex-National Security Adviser pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI."

The category should have been "Witch Hunts" or "Bogus Procedural Indictments" and the contestants would have a better chance.

Come on. We're not so bright as Jeopardy! contestants. This gives us a chance to know the question. Because we do follow the worst of CNN. Let's guess.

* Manafort
* Flynn
* Carter Page
* Rick Gates
* Papadopoulos
* 13 Russians

We're looking for an ex-National Security Advisor.

See, here's where Ellen Ripstein, the crossword champion and NYT crossword proofreeder that I told you about who profiles like Jennifer Rubin, would know every single National Security Advisor and their years of service, who the president was they worked under, events during their term, since the beginning of US history having a National Security Advisor. She's have that date too. And she would have that name available like a computer and write the answer in little boxes faster than you can speak it. She wouldn't need to watch CNN to have that information. She blows everyone's mind, truly, not just mine. Because she's so humble. And she know that because of her nasal whiney voice that she sounds like a Jewish American princess. Because she is a Jewish American princess. But no less brilliant for that.

Smart people have gaps.

h---u---g---e gaps.

These contestants should produce the question by the clue "National Security advisor", and "recent." Not because CNN drilled it into anyone's head.

You end up lobotomized when you watch too much CNN, all that drilling. And all such drugs must be taken in small doses.

Here is a YouTube video of the Jeopardy! show with the answer that could not be questioned. Skippidy-do-dah to 7:35

"Who is Kelly?"  No.

"Who is Gorka?"  No.

"Who's YOUR MOM?" Er, no.

Alex, *condescendingly* "F-l-y-y-y-y-n-n-n-n-n. Jesus, you guys. I'm Canadian and even I know that."

Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Here, hold my mimsy brew while I chortle.

Shut up! I'm gyre and gymbling over here. That kills me. CNN John King thinks they should have known because he's been one-two, one-twoing his vorpal through and through and still none of the smart people could answer, people much smarter than John King.

But the contestants still should have known without CNN. They should have known despite CNN.

I'm a little bit diesel pointed. Smart Jeopardy! contestants should have penetrated that even with CNN doing their best to dim the genuine news. Why, Russians of my day knew how to read through their daily straight propaganda and grasp the important elements and reshape them. Mueller's bogus investigation that uses government force to extend Democrat resistance and fowl Trump's progress even to a year and a half beyond its sell-by date, produced several unrelated procedural indictments to satisfy Democrat crackpot base and that contrasts sharply with FBI treatment of two significant Hillary Clinton cases. The names of the indicted are notable as victims of dirty injustice.  Nobody sensible puts any stock in Party information like CNN. That's a walk through the looking glass where everything is reversed and distorted and silly. And that is what is so weird and so funny about CNN John King.
