CNN's Ratings Remain in Freefall Under New Boss Chris Licht

Really sad after listening to this on Tv

Oh wow

The monster deserves every second of his sentence. Have fun being someone’s b-word in the slammer buddy. 👄

What about the people Ghislaine Maxwell has in the book? Or is that too many of your employees..?

Sex trafficking huh? What about the people Ghislaine Maxwell was working for? She was convicted for something similar… but who wanted the kids? Maybe a reporter could look into this. Any of them around?

All about the time , justice win at the end ✊🏽 now only he can find Bob sandwich 😄

Wow! That's more than I thought he would get. How far the famous can fall!

Justice was served

Not enough…

He learnt the hard way that you cannot do what white celebrities do and expect to get away with it like they do.

The Vid. Below exposes one of USA’s LARGEST Insurance Companies claims that “DEATH BENNIFITS” are up 40%! WHAT? Seems people are DROPPING like flies now. I wonder how long it will take before people realize what is KILLING so many people. Booster anyone ?

Almost as bad as seeing Jeffrey Tubin on CNN all the while knowing that he was not let go for MASTURBATING during a zoom meeting. WHY oh why would you keep someone after that? I can't watch him. changed to MSNBC. At the very least, make him stand up so we can ALL see his pants.

Save the baby's vs how ore ever!

Is this the guy who wish to fly in the song

Justice wins again.

Now since they convicted are Kelly, they need to convict the parents of these young girls. They let their daughters go to somebody like that who supposed to be dangerous and a predator! Every parent should be his neighbor In the crossbar hotel.

He did not have a little black book with Bill Clintons name in it !

oh yes

various sentences. Or did you say that usually the person who committed more offenses received a longer sentence?

jailtrump

Free R.Kelly

i dont trust the actors, musicians or anybody anymore. Everyone in hollywood needs to be fired. there al sex trafficking, money laundrying, mafia gang members. im canceling my ipod and television. i thought the poloticians were bad enough.....

Anybody see anything wrong with this picture? Something anit being told! That lady hand picked, groomed and paid underaged girls, that didnt lie about they age, for Epstein? But MOST of the women RKelly, groomed and lied about they age? She got 20 will probably do 7-10..he got 30

I believe I was high I believed I could touch this guy Think about it every night and day Spread my cheeks bubba cums today I believe it is sore My asshole never been an entrence before I believe I was high The sentence judge handed me was totally a lie I believe he was high

It seems These crimes were calculated and carefully planned and regularly executed for almost 25 years,” she said. “You taught them that love is enslavement and violence.

It took awhile to get here...

Looks like a white supremacist!

Anyone else smell bitch?

CNN. How many years is Donald Trump going to get?

Trapped in the closet.

Now do MattGaetz

How many years did that Giselle lady get for the unknown number of girls lives she ruined?

Every thing dam racist

Bad boy

Man's gonna be covered in piss by the weekend

When he said his mind is telling me no but my body is telling me yeah he try to warn us

Dam he's done

Great news!! Now do Trump!

He may bump and grind with his cell mates now.

Russiaisaterroriststate

OK....Justice was served supposedly. Now let's see how this federal crime gets compared to an insurrection, coup, & obstruction of justice and if there is such a thing as equal justice under the law. Black man 30 years, white woman 20 years, let's see how this J6 & DOJ plays out.

And what will Trump and his Goonies get?

An umbrella, are you kidding?

Yet Ghisaline gets 20. Don’t get me wrong R Kelley deserves this and then some but maxwell deserves to rot in prison and everyone deserves to know who was on the flight logs (everyone in Hollywood, most likely)

so does being a white woman on an underage sex trafficking charge in the USA save you ten years of incarceration time?

That's it 🙄 30 years for all the suffering & violating these children. Not to mention the other things he did. Wow, I guess it's something verses nothing

Welp, his pen game gon be cray!

God bless america

We need to adopt there sentencing system!!!no fannying about,,,30 stretch woof!!!maxwell 20....

He received more years than the white woman who also was a sex trafficker. Even when the “color blind” justice system punishes, it still doesn’t do so equitably.

He had it all…talent…success…he really blew it!

Gooood

He will plenty of time to arrange new R&B tracks now.. America has very harsh Sentencing Times, for convicted people compared to European Sentencing..

Free r Kelly

Finally!!

A ese negrito le debieron dar la pena de muerte a toda la gente que hirió!!!!!!

That's what you get when you act upon your little heads desires. He totally screwed up what could have been an awesome career. No one to blame but himself. Justice served!

With all do respect, im still listening to his music

The media are fawning over this coffee runner chick from the 1/6 hearing yesterday after she perjured herself on TV. Wow. Pathetic takes on a whole new meaning.

And yet Putin is free and on a killing spree.

I believe he can cry, go to prison and touch a guy….

Hallelujah

He should have flown away - since he believes he can

Yessssssssssss.. I believe I can’t fly.. This is the remix!😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤪🤪🤪

It’s about time!

But is it this?

Justice has been fulfilled in this particular case and I hope a lot of people will learn from this and understand that the power of fame and money does not give you a full right to abuse vulnerable people...!

Justice is finally served

A row model before has now turn to a prisoner..life is so unpredictable 💀💀

About F/———time

i wonder what ill be doing in 2052 lol

Does this mean democrats are going to be burning buildings tonight?

Still not enough for his brutal behaviour

devastating¡¡¡¿¿

👋👋👋👋 let him rot

Now do trump.

Lol

I can't believe this, it's a dream please wake me up

He's going to be popular in prison

Yeah that's good , shouldn't get away with it because he is a celebrity, people like him should be removed from the society.

Why couldn't he just get women his age?

It’s the remix to ignition 🎶

Bambi 😒😒

How did Ghislaine Maxwell get 10 years less than him

Remember that one song he wrote called age ain't nothing but a number? Prison ain’t nothing but a building!

He won’t be flying anymore.

I believe He can Fry!
