CBS HAILS Trump’s ‘Incredible’ SOTU as ‘Morning in America’ with ‘Compelling Stories’
News Busters ^ | 2/5/2020 | By Curtis Houck

Posted on 02/05/2020 8:50:02 AM PST by NohSpinZone

What was going on CBS Tuesday night during the State of the Union? Do we need to file a slew of missing persons’ reports? Or was there a real-life Invasion of the Body Snatchers? Those answers seemed plausible considering CBS’s overwhelmingly positive reaction to President Trump’s speech.

In their post-speech reactions, CBS journalists praised the “master showman” President’s “incredible remarks” that, while “restrained,” showcased “a strong record on the economy” and “emotionally compelling stories” about “great Americans.” Even more surprisingly, the praise was juxtaposed with condemnation for Democrats.

CBS Evening News anchor Norah O’Donnell led off by noting that Trump “promised relentless optimism” and delivered “a speech unlike any other I have witnessed from [him] where the reality TV President took on the State of the Union, a master showman at his best.”

Face the Nation moderator Margaret Brennan agreed, telling O’Donnell that Trump was “[v]ery much the showman.”

When the Libs lose CBS Views, they’ve lost the nation.

Is it just possible that a legacy network has decided to clean up its act a bit since it sees that pdjt is winning ?

Except now, we have many other places to go for trustworthy news. Good god, during Reagan, all we there was was CBS,NBC, ABC and CNN. The only place to go was Radio...Rush.

So compelling that the Democrats sat on their hands most of the night while they were being told.

Writing is on the wall...

Democrats can’t win....

Anyone with a few neurons firing knows at this point, Trump will be re-elected by a wide margin.

There eventually comes a point where you have to stop the bleeding... maybe CBS is reaching that point..

I think what's going on is that they're getting worried that Trump is going to be a much more formidable opponent than they had thought. They're basically warning the Democrats that Trump has managed to seize the high ground, and that a planned Democrat campaign of relentless anti-Trump negativity won't work.

I also think they were rather stunned in that he didn't lash out over impeachment, and simply was positive.

“OK, good joke, now untie the real See BS people from the back room and unmask these clever impostors!”

Actually, it is best that CBS reported like this. The 2020 election is going to define the media. CBS getting on the right side of history will only boost their ratings and commercial rates.

I’ve been wondering if Trump made some inroads with the Puppet Masters in Davos. Maybe they don’t feel the Bern.

When (My Pillow) Mike Lindell guested on Life, Liberty and Levin he told Mark that multitudes of Americans love Trump, but they just didn’t know it yet. Being a cockeyed optimist, a la Rogers & Hammerstein, I have to believe some of Lindell’s opinion is coming to fruition.

A gang of bank robbers are captured and placed in separate interrogation rooms, then told; “whoever squeals first, gets the deal.” Maybe that’s CBS.
