CNN wastes almost all of its big Hillary interview on trivial nonsense

Embarrassing: CNN is a news channel devoid of substance, interviewing a presidential candidate devoid of any rationale for her candidacy

I don’t know why Hillary ever worried about answering questions from the press if these were the kinds of questions she was going to get. Good night. CNN’s Brianna Keller certainly knows how to snag an exclusive interview with someone who can’t stand accountability under any circumstances. Just don’t ask substantive questions.

Benghazi? What’s that? The Russian “reset”? Old news! The trade deal she now pretends to oppose but relentlessly advocated as Secretary of State? Mere esoterica! The private e-mail server? “Tell me the story.” Ideas on tax policy, federal spending, entitlement programs, ObamaCare, the Iran nuclear deal, Russian aggression, the collapse of Greece . . . huh? HTML5 video is not supported! Special: Shark Tank Star Reveals Brilliant New Mortgage Payoff Tip

CNN gets to the real issues. Which woman should be on the $10 bill? Who imitates you better, Kate MacKinnon or Amy Poehler? How about that horrible thing Donald Trump said? This is just embarrassing. I don’t know how CNN goes on the air today after a sham like this. (below)

That’s CNNs Motto

“Nonsense, it’s what we do!”

It's Hillary's show, she gets to choose the network, the setting, the interviewer & provide the network all the allowable questions.

..and that's the product you get.

I just wonder how much she charged CNN ? ...anyone know?

I wonder if HilLIARy gave her the questions she was allowed to ask?

Because that wasn’t an interview. That was a full on endorsement disguised as an interview.
I’m surprised they didn’t compliment her on how ravishingly beautiful she is and ask if they could wash her feet.

Any true reporter would have taken the questions with a smile and then asked what they wanted to ask anyway. That’s what I would have done. Tape the entire exchange and show the viewers Hildabeast’s frustration and anger at being questioned.

Keller is a known Hillary fan. That’s why she was picked and I would bet anything that all questions were screened and edited by the Hillary Camp before the interview.

Hillary says , “just stop this now and let me move into the White House so I can get on with Fund Raising for my Foundation”

Oh they replaced their old motto? Which was:

“Obama says jump, We ask how high?”

The Obama thing was just subset of the overall NONSENSE meme, really.

Fill in the rest of the lyrics to an update of the old "Smokey the Bear" tune:

Clinton, the pear
Clinton, the pear
Growlin' and a-scowlin' and a-gettin' nowhere ...

Summary of the interview (for those with weak stomachs prone to vomiting)

"A lot of people think you lied about Benghazi, your emails, Russia, and everything else you ever did in your life... How does that make you feel...?"

"Just awful, but you know how bad the evil right-wing is"

The Ministry Of Propaganda has a mission to set up a Hillary vs Yeb Bush “election” that is no choice at all.
They believe in the same things.
Yeb Bush is the designated loser that the RNC has been paid by The Cheap Labor Express to deliver.

There will be a knee-jerk inclination to blame all this on liberal bias, but I think a lot of the problem is this: The only reason Hillary is seen as the “front-runner” for the nomination is that she’s a celebrity. She’s a very well-known name and one of the most recognized faces in American politics. It’s her celebrity status, not any real record of accomplishment, that causes the press to take her seriously as a candidate. So when they do an interview with her, they’re like Entertainment Tonight interviewing Meryl Streep or Jennifer Lopez. You’re not going to get a deep dive into the artistic merits of their latest film or anything like that. Fans of a celebrity don’t want that. Where did you get that outfit? What’s it like to be famous?
Umm, false.

Imagine, for a moment, what kind of questions the CNN reporterette would have asked Governor Palin. ("What's it like to have two bastard grandchildren?")

It's liberal bias, pure and simple.

“What is your name?”
“What is your quest?”
“Do you wear Boxers or Briefs?”
