  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What’s happening here is so obvious. CNN doesn’t want to know the truth and they don’t want their viewers to hear it either. They would prefer to just keep pushing all of their anti-Trump lies without inconvenient interruptions.
Miller could easily destroy all of their talking points and they know it.

This article nailed it, it was the same with Charlie Kirk and so many others.

While the real reason for barring him is completely ignored! Let us reason please!

Lets not say that right is wrong and wrong is right!

The argument for CNN permanently barring Stephen Miller focuses on protecting the network's journalistic integrity and its commitment to democratic norms. His use of "plenary authority" to describe presidential power was extremely dangerous because it suggests absolute, unchecked, and limitless authority, directly contradicting the U.S. system of checks and balances. Giving a platform to rhetoric that many legal experts view as promoting anti-democratic or authoritarian concepts—especially when followed by the awkward, viral "technical glitch"—transforms a serious political debate into a normalizing spectacle of extremism. To avoid appearing complicit in amplifying dangerous, low-information, high-controversy rhetoric, CNN may decide that cutting ties is the necessary journalistic choice.

The simple fact is that CNN possesses the constitutional right to carry out its activities. While I may not agree with their broadcasting approach, their actions are fully protected by the U.S. Constitution. Similarly, all news media in America—whether conservative or liberal—have this fundamental right. Importantly, the President of the United States does not have the authority to dictate how the media operates.

However, I saw this morning that the President of the United States has commented on potential buyers and management for CNN. Additionally, conservative media outlets have initiated a negative campaign against CNN. Is this thread part of that campaign?

Of course, no one is or should be forced to interview anyone, although some reporters felt they had a right to be physically present for White House press briefings. I prefer we keep this thread to discussion-only rather than join any campaign.

If only he’d remember some of his songs.

His hatred for immigrants is pretty believable.
I have asked that people not demonize their political opponents, and I am asking again. Name-calling is typically because of a lack of substance to an argument. Although a bit further back than President Trump's, Stephen Miller's (a family man with three children) ancestry is one of immigration. Miller, like Trump, is concerned about the children lost under the Biden administration, concerned about the victims of horrible crimes perpetrated by unvetted and illegal immigrants allowed into our country by the Biden administration, and concerned about the damage that has been done by letting in large populations that do not care for America and wish to keep allegiance to their countries of origin. Conservatives want LEGAL IMMIGRANTS who respect our laws, love America and our way of life, and have a desire to assimilate into our culture.

I didn’t call him any names.

Believe it or not, but immigrants don’t have to do what conservatives want of them in order to come live here.

Name-calling, whether in politics or daily interactions, is generally regarded as a sign of weakness. Individuals who resort to profanity often appear to lack the knowledge to express their opinions or frustrations in a more articulate and constructive manner.

In this millennium, political discourse has visibly deteriorated, with politicians openly accusing each other of lying, warmongering, and using other insults.

it doesn’t help when political leader call other politician name like : Little Marco, Crooked Hilary, Sleepy Joe, “lying Ted”, “Pocahontas” , “Crazy Nancy”, “Shifty Schiff” ,
“Ron DeSanctimonoius” , and many more names!

Name-calling does nothing to improve politics, and voters who back these politicians but tell others not to name-call reveal their own hypocrisy.

If, as a regular voter, I want to improve our political system, it begins with choosing not to support politicians who behave provocatively. I cannot vote multiple times for a candidate who consistently resorts to provocative language when referring to opponents or reporters, and then, without irony, calls for civility among Americans.
