On sait que, d\u00e8s l’origine de l’actuelle s\u00e9quence de ce que nous serions tent\u00e9s de nommer la \u00ab\u00a0Grande Guerre de la Communication postmoderne\u00a0\u00bb, c’est-\u00e0-dire depuis f\u00e9vrier 2014<\/strong> où les conditions de la perception ont radicalement chang\u00e9 (d\u00e9sint\u00e9gration<\/a> de la r\u00e9alit\u00e9<\/a>), le r\u00e9seau CNN est \u00e0 l’avant-garde de la bataille. Le r\u00e9seau s’est d\u00e9chaîn\u00e9 selon les axes progressistes-soci\u00e9taux fondamentaux<\/strong>, c’est-\u00e0-dire dans la fureur anti-Poutine et l’antirussisme furieux jusqu’au paroxysme du Russiagate<\/em>, l’antitrumpisme et le soutien inconditionnel \u00e0 Hillary Clinton et aux engagements des minorit\u00e9s ethniques et soci\u00e9tales (r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s, LGTBQ, etc.). CNN s’est donc trouv\u00e9 \u00e0 l’avant-garde de la postmodernit\u00e9 et du Syst\u00e8me qui fait de la postmodernit\u00e9 son id\u00e9ologie op\u00e9rationnelle, sans aucun doute, et bien entendu avec toute la puissance de la communication plut\u00f4t qu’avec la toute-puissance de la v\u00e9rit\u00e9.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n L’affrontement pour l’\u00e9lection pr\u00e9sidentielle, puis l’affrontement avec l’\u00e9lu devenu 45\u00e8me<\/sup> POTUS, ont pass\u00e9 tout ce qu’on a connu en fait de puissance, d’absence de r\u00e8gles, de f\u00e9rocit\u00e9 et de haines, et d’ailleurs sans le moindre doute des deux c\u00f4t\u00e9s, notamment dans l’affrontement de communication. L’on sent bien que la bataille, notamment et particuli\u00e8rement entre Trump et CNN est une bataille \u00e0 mort, une bataille qui serait presque plus importante que la bataille de Trump contre la CIA<\/strong> s’il se confirmait que l’Agence voudrait, ou aurait voulu abattre au moins politiquement le pr\u00e9sident. (Cela a certainement dû correspondre \u00e0 une r\u00e9alit\u00e9 durant la p\u00e9riode int\u00e9rimaire, entre l’\u00e9lection et l’installation \u00e0 la pr\u00e9sidence, entre novembre 2016 et janvier 2017 ; la situation est aujourd’hui beaucoup plus confuse, comme elle l’est dans tous les domaines de la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 nationale \u00e0 l’int\u00e9rieur de l’administration Trump.) De ce point de vue, l’affrontement entre Trump et CNN prend une allure de symbole qui d\u00e9passe les deux acteurs<\/strong>, et d\u00e9bouche sur cette \u00ab\u00a0Grande Guerre de la Communication postmoderne\u00a0\u00bb dont on pourrait se demander si ce n’est pas la vraie formule de la \u00ab\u00a0Grande Guerre postmoderne\u00a0\u00bb tout court<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Il s’agit d’une hypoth\u00e8se d’une importance consid\u00e9rable. Il apparaît \u00e9vident que les deux acteurs sont effectivement des symboles en l’occurrence. On ne d\u00e9battra pas des travers \u00e9vidents des deux c\u00f4t\u00e9s ; d’une part les montagnes de narrative<\/em> folles \u00e9difi\u00e9es, fabriqu\u00e9es par CNN, notamment dans le cadre du Russiagate<\/em> devenu en soi un simulacre g\u00e9ant, le cynisme complet de certains dirigeants, l’hyst\u00e9rie de certains pr\u00e9sentateurs ; d’autre part, le comportement incoh\u00e9rent de Trump dont une partie importante de sa journ\u00e9e de pr\u00e9sident semble \u00eatre de regarder la TV pour pouvoir tweeter, ses affirmations changeant jusqu’au tournant de 180° au jour le jour, son d\u00e9sint\u00e9r\u00eat manifeste pour la rigueur et la raison, des avatars qu’il fait subir \u00e0 la v\u00e9rit\u00e9 jusqu’\u00e0 ses attaques d’une grossi\u00e8ret\u00e9 rare<\/a>. On retiendra simplement cette \u00e9vidence de l’habillage symbolique dans le duel pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 ici : CNN repr\u00e9sente la puissance de la presseSyst\u00e8me, Trump la puissance d’une r\u00e9action populiste qui se place d’abord en position de riposte furieuse (comme l’\u00e9crivit Michael Moore en août 2016, Trump est \u00ab\u00a0un cocktail Molotov<\/a> que le peuple envoie dans la gueule de Washington D.C.\u00a0\u00bb<\/strong>).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n C’est l\u00e0 que se situe cette \u00ab\u00a0Grande Guerre postmoderne\u00a0\u00bb, qui a d\u00e9but\u00e9 avant CNN versus<\/em> Trump, et qui se poursuivra au-del\u00e0 de CNN versus<\/em> Trump, mais toujours en s’amplifiant<\/strong> puisque la communication constitue la principale force op\u00e9rationnelle de la postmodernit\u00e9 ; quant aux motifs, on les connaît, mais ils sont tr\u00e8s largement d\u00e9pass\u00e9s par l’intensit\u00e9 de la haine totale qui habite l’un pour l’autre les adversaires engag\u00e9s dans ce conflit<\/strong>. Si CNN mord la poussi\u00e8re d’une fa\u00e7on ou l’autre, puisque c’est CNN qui est aujourd’hui en si mauvaise posture, il s’agira d’un \u00e9v\u00e9nement consid\u00e9rable \u00e0 l’int\u00e9rieur de cet \u00e9v\u00e9nement g\u00e9n\u00e9ral fondamental qu’est cet \u00e9norme conflit postmoderne<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n D\u00e9j\u00e0 certains annoncent la mort de CNN, comme Rush Limbaugh<\/a> qui titre « Could Donald Trump be the end of CNN? What a legacy that would be<\/em>… » D’autre part, un nouvel acteur est apparu, Project Veritas<\/em>, activ\u00e9 dans le sens où on le voit aujourd’hui il y a \u00e0 peu pr\u00e8s un an et qui se pr\u00e9sente comme une sorte de WikiLeaks <\/em>US, aux USA, contre la presseSyst\u00e8me<\/strong>. Project Veritas <\/em>avait annonc\u00e9 d\u00e8s f\u00e9vrier qu’il disposait de 109 heures d’enregistrements audios\/vid\u00e9os venus en interne de CNN, et sa dot n’a cess\u00e9 d’enfler<\/a>, comme l’a montr\u00e9 la diffusion ces derniers jours de plusieurs vid\u00e9os internes qui tendent \u00e0 d\u00e9cr\u00e9dibiliser compl\u00e8tement la sinc\u00e9rit\u00e9 de l’engagement de CNN dans l’affaire Russiagate. <\/em>(« \u00ab\u00a0We’re going for the jugular of the mainstream media,\u00a0\u00bb Project Veritas spokesman Stephen Gordon told Radio Sputnik’s Fault Lines<\/a> with Lee Stranahan and Garland Nixon on Wednesday. <\/em>\u00ab\u00a0We w<\/em>ant to shut you down for the liars you are … every time you lie; we’re going to catch you in it.\u00a0\u00bb<\/em> »)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Selon les circonstances, il ne fait aucun doute que le sort de CNN peut engager la stabilit\u00e9 institutionnelle de la presseSyst\u00e8me dans son enti\u00e8ret\u00e9<\/strong>, et ainsi mettre en cause une des forces d’influence dominantes du Syst\u00e8me ; on se trouve dans tous les cas dans un nouveau paroxysme de la Grande Guerre postmoderne aux USA, avec des effets politiques totalement incoh\u00e9rents et impr\u00e9visibles<\/strong>… On trouvera dans le texte de Daily Caller<\/em> ci-dessous, du 28 juin 2017<\/a>, une synth\u00e8se compl\u00e8te du mois de martyre qu’a subi CNN, avec toutes les r\u00e9f\u00e9rences n\u00e9cessaires.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n _____________________<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The last 30 days have been nothing short of a public relations nightmare for CNN.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The network is reeling after a brutal stretch that has seen two hosts taken off-air, one story retracted and another rewritten, accusations of staged protests, the resignations of three key employees and most recently, an ongoing series of undercover videos meant to portray CNN as misleading the public about the Trump-Russia stories that have dominated media coverage of the president so far.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Late on Tuesday, May 30, TMZ published images of CNN’s New Years Eve co-host, Kathy Griffin, taking part in a photoshoot with a mock severed head of President Trump. The story quickly blew up. Influential news aggregator Matt Drudge placed CNN’s ties to Griffin front and center on his site, the Drudge Report.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n CNN cut ties with Griffin the next day, May 31, but it was too late to effectively distance the network from the media tornado surrounding Griffin’s actions. On June 3, the phrase \u00ab\u00a0CNN is ISIS\u00a0\u00bb trended on Twitter <\/a> after Infowars host Alex Jones, a conspiracy theorist who has long supported Trump, offered $1,000 to \u00ab\u00a0anyone who is seen on TV with a ‘CNN is ISIS’ t-shirt or sign.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n That same day, June 3, CNN host Reza Aslan — who has eaten human brain<\/a> on live television — called Trump a \u00ab\u00a0piece of shit\u00a0\u00bb and an \u00ab\u00a0embarrassment to humankind.\u00a0\u00bb (CNN has since cancelled<\/a> Aslan’s show.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Two days later, on June 5, CNN was forced to address claims that it \u00ab\u00a0staged\u00a0\u00bb a Muslim anti-ISIS protest after video emerged<\/a> of CNN reporter Becky Anderson directing protesters where to stand with their signs. Drudge featured an articl<\/a>e from right-wing blog The Gateway Pundit about the video titled, \u00ab\u00a0SHOCK VIDEO: CNN Creates #FakeNews in London Following Terror Attacks, Stages Anti-ISIS Muslim Protesters.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The network called the accusations \u00ab\u00a0nonsense\u00a0\u00bb<\/a> in a statement released on June 5. \u00ab\u00a0Police let demonstrators through the cordon to show their signs. CNN along with other media simply filmed them doing so,\u00a0\u00bb CNN’s statement read. Days later more footage from the protest scene leaked, showing reporters milling about as they waited for protesters to get their posters<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The day after CNN addressed the London protest video, the network suffered another self-inflicted wound.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n CNN ran a story on June 6 that claimed former FBI Director James Comey would use his testimony the next day to refute Trump’s claim that Comey had assured him three separate times that he was not under FBI investigation. That story was debunked the same day when Comey’s prepared remarks were released to the public, showing that Comey would actually confirm, rather than refute, Trump’s assertion.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The botched story had four bylines, including those of three veteran journalists: anchor Jake Tapper, chief political analyst Gloria Borger and executive editor Eric Lichtblau, who had recently joined CNN from The New York Times. CNN was forced to rewrite the piece with a correction<\/a> noting the error.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n That story was among more than a dozen negative articles about CNN featured on the Drudge Report over the last month, according to a Daily Caller review of an online archive of the site<\/a>. The Drudge Report often sets the tone for other conservative media sites, and Drudge has kept the pressure on CNN over the last month. (RELATED: Time Warner Shareholders Rebuke CNN’s Jeff Bewkes For Network’s Trump Bashing)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n CNN’s nightmare month continued last week when CNN.com published, deleted, and then retracted and apologized for, an article that claimed Trump adviser Anthony Scaramucci was the subject of a Senate investigation for his ties to Russian bankers. Three key members of CNN’s investigative team resigned on Monday<\/a> for their role in the retracted story<\/a>. Lichtblau, the executive editor who co-authored the botched Comey story, was among those who resigned.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Late Monday night, conservative activist James O’Keefe released hidden-camera video<\/a> that showed a CNN producer, John Bonifield, saying that Trump was \u00ab\u00a0probably right\u00a0\u00bb that the Trump-Russia story was a \u00ab\u00a0witch hunt.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Though Bonifield’s focus is on health — not Russia — the story quickly took off, in part because the producer portrayed the company culture as one that treated Trump-Russia stories as a hunt for ratings rather than a pursuit of truth. He described, for example, CNN president Jeff Zucker ordering the company’s focus \u00ab\u00a0back to Russia\u00a0\u00bb just a day and a half after Trump pulled out from the Paris climate accords, which was portrayed by some in the media as an earth-changing decision.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n O’Keefe kept the focus on CNN by releasing on Wednesday a video of CNN commentator Van Jones describing the Trump-Russia story as a \u00ab\u00a0big nothingburger<\/a>.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Drudge immediately made the video the lead of his site, captioning it: \u00ab\u00a0O’KEEFE STRIKES AGAIN.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The night before, Drudge’s lead story was a Washington Post article<\/a> titled, \u00ab\u00a0CNN’s Russia story debacle came at the worst possible time for the network.\u00a0\u00bb Drudge’s headline<\/a> for the article read: \u00ab\u00a0CNN IN HELL.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Also on Wednesday, the New York Post kept alive the scandal around CNN’s Scaramucci story, running an exclusive that claimed the network pulled the article after the Trump associate threatened them with a $100 million lawsuit<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The month of drama appears to be taking a toll on CNN’s employees. A depressed atmosphere settled over the company after the three resignations, CNN sources told BuzzFeed. \u00ab\u00a0It’s been a tough week but I’m proud to work at a place that corrects mistakes and values transparency on them,\u00a0\u00bb reporter Andrew Kaczynski wrote on Twitter<\/a> Tuesday night.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Kaczynski’s tweet came in response to a celebratory tweet from President Trump, who has regularly bashed the network as \u00ab\u00a0fake news\u00a0\u00bb and \u00ab\u00a0very fake news.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n
