CNN was exposed by a CNN insider. Ouch.
It’s an interesting pair of reports that both point to an issue that has been dogging media, especially so in the Trump Administration era. On a day when the markets are mildly down, those inter-connected topics will be our featured report this evening.
Regular readers please note there is a tweak of our standard tweaks. Read carefully as some changes of the ‘standard text’ that follows before our left-right headlines and also in other features near the end of tonight’s reports.
Every evening our headlines that follow provide snapshots from two major media outlets on each side of the left-right news spectrum that reflect topics that influence or move investor sentiment. In moments on this business evening report, you can get ‘insights-at-a-glance.’
This report also sets the broader context for manufactured housing markets, in keeping with our mantra, “News through the lens of manufactured homes and factory-built housing” ©.
We begin with headlines left-of-center CNN followed by right-of-center Fox Business. We share closing tickers and other related data courtesy of Yahoo Finance, and more. 5 to 10 minutes reading this MHProNews market report every business night could save you 30 minutes to an hour of similar reading or fact-gathering elsewhere.

Tonight’s Business/Market/Political Impact Spotlight –
Let’s start with the right-of-center New York Post’s fact-check of the recent right-of-center Fox News poll about national interest in impeaching president Trump.
Mary Kay Linge, writing for the NY Post on October 12, 2019 said that “The poll released last week by Fox News that claimed most Americans favor the impeachment of President Trump underrepresented Republican and independent voters, The Post has found.”
“The poll said 51% of voters were in favor of Trump’s impeachment and removal from office, while 40% did not want him impeached,” according to the NY Post analysis.
They said that “Princeton, New Jersey, pollster Braun Research, which conducted the survey, noted 48% of its respondents were Democrats. But the actual breakdown of party affiliation is 31% Democrat, 29% Republican and 38% independent, according to Gallup.”
There bottom line, still of concern to Team Trump is this. “A poll weighted for party affiliation would have concluded that 44.9% favored impeachment and 44.4% opposed it, a Post analysis has concluded.”
The poll had prompted President Trump to tweet: “Whoever [Fox News’] Pollster is, they suck.” POTUS Trump has repeatedly ripped Fox for their polling.
That said, CNN also had their embarrassment in alleged lack of objectivity. A CNN insider has called out CNN President Jeff Zucker for having a personal vendetta against President Donald J. Trump.
Here is part 1 of a planned multipart series by Project Veritas. It was posted with the headline, “PART 1: CNN Insider Blows Whistle on Network President Jeff Zucker’s Personal Vendetta Against POTUS [Trump].
These reports underscore the points that MHProNews had advised readers on for some time. Namely, that mainstream media and tech giants reporting and results are often biased, per informed sources, despite claims to the contrary.
Project Veritas had faced lawsuits, which they say they’ve repeatedly won, over such controversial undercover video reports. Recall that they exposed that CNN’s coverage of the ‘Russia Collusion’ very early on. A CNN producer said on undercover camera that it was all about ratings vs. accurate reporting. Almost 2 years later, that proved to be accurate. Russia collusion with the Trump campaign proved to be devoid of any hard evidence, after several federal investigations. Ooops.
A recent survey reveals that they trust local media the most, as well as specialized sites – like this one – more than mainstream national media.
MHProNews has done several fact-checks and analysis on this topic, using third-party evidence along side our analysis. Some of those recent and prior reports are found above and below from the linked text image boxes. Click the image or link to see that specific report.
