Comedy News Network's edgy use of the word "bulsh*t"

In an effort to sound edgy and maybe even a tad relevant, the Comedy News Network (CNN) called out "bullsh*t on the air, using the word itself and hoping to cause jaws to drop and children to be told to leave the airport.

Erin Burnett wasn't even bleeped when you used that word. It's as if CNN is trying to hard to pretend they're hard news that pulls no punches, takes no dog tags, and makes no sense as the host went after vaccine-skeptical conservative politicians and journalists.

Burnett was not the first CNN fake news "journalist" to use the naughty word, "bullsh*t." Jim "Dear Diary" Acosta called Fox News a "bullsh*t factory in a May 1st broadcast, showing how little he knows about how bullsh*t is actually made. He also revealed just how jealous he is of the cable network that's eating CNNs lunch.

And host Fredo Cuomo went after then-President Trump a year ago using the same bovine fecal-focused language as Burnett and Acosta when Trump showed off Goya products during the COVID-19 pandemic. "You tell me how a president in the middle of a pandemic has got time for this bulls**t? Are you kidding me?" the dumbest narcissist on TV said.

But even earlier in the 2020, proudly gay host Anderson Cooper in an interview with Rod Blagojevich used the taboo word heard by many American Airlines passengers waiting to board, calling "bullsh*t" on Blago for claiming he was wrongfully convicted of public corruption.

It is also believed that Brian Stelter may have once used the word "cocky" in the same regard.

But Burnett did these men one better decorating her expletive with a cherry on top.

The potty mouth began her segment by highlighting "deadly disinformation about COVID vaccines, much of it coming from Republican lawmakers and right-wing media." Then she showed clips of GOP lawmakers such as Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado stating their disagreement with getting the shots.

Afterward, Burnett chimed in, saying "it's not just skepticism and fear mongering from lawmakers, of course — right-wing media reaches millions of Americans." 

A hell of a lot more than CNN, that's for sure.

Then more video showed Fox News' hosts Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham calling the idea of forcing vaccines on Americans a "scandal" and "anti-Democratic" and "anti-freedom," which of course it is.

Burnett was clearly pissed off: "It's stunning. All of those people are smart enough to know that what they're saying is complete bulls**t, and that's the problem. They should be ashamed."

One has to wonder, however, if Burnett's children were ashamed or proud of their mother's garbage mouth.
