CNN Got Pounded All Day For Editing Clinton’s Response To Bombing

CNN has been heavily criticized over several incidents where the network selectively edited content, to include a glaring example just this weekend regarding a statement from Hillary Clinton in response to an explosion that rocked a Manhattan neighborhood Saturday, but that did not stop Jake Tapper from going to the well one more time.

The “State of the Union” host was interviewing New Jersey Governor Chris Christie on Sunday when he referenced “a contrast” between Clinton and rival Donald Trump in commenting on the explosion in New York, noting that Trump said it was a bomb within minutes, while Clinton waited until hours later before commenting.

Tapper then played a clip of Clinton saying, “I think it’s important to know the facts about any incident like this. I think it’s always wiser to wait until you have information before making conclusions.”

A preceding comment from the Democratic nominee calling the explosion a “bombing” was edited out… even as Trump was being called into question for using the term “bomb.”

What little credibility CNN had is gone. I hope she was worth it.

What will they do when Hillary loses and it was all for naught?

I read the article. Christie hit back.

Trump’s theme song when entering arenas, especially with Christie and Rudy working for him, should be

“Now You’re Messing With a Son of a B#tch” :)

These 3 don’t screw around.

The false contrast that CNN is trying to set up works to Trump’s benefit.

‘what little credibility CNN had is gone. I hope she was worth it.’

And the funny thing — this didn’t even help her. This hurt her and hurt CNN at the same time.

Yep; all around.
Not only in terms of being insightful enough to quickly and accurately assess a scenario but also of having the courage to speak your mind even at the risk of contradiction and criticism.

Once again, Fox is spreading the lie that only Trump called it a bomb/bombing.

NBC evening news did the same exact thing last night.

Yep. They are not very bright. If they were competent manipulators Hillary would be ahead.

Yup. Trump called the bomb a bomb. Which it was. The emperor is naked and The Donald keeps pointing that out, to the mediots' chagrin.

Does the MSM realize how stupid it has come to appear in the eyes of the American People?

Trump Travels with Former New York Mayor Rudy Guiliani who knows every senior officer in the NYPD, and Gen. Flynn who is tapped into the intel network of the country.

And Chris Christie is New Jersery Gov. so whatever goes on with terrorism in that state I am sure DJT would hear about it.

What you know is a function of who you know.

Tapper just doesn’t know the right people.

That would be a great song.

BTW, here is a great spoof video (if your on FB I’m sure you’ve seen it, but many here don’t FB, so I’ll re post it)

Whoever did this one... it’s great (I especially like when the emperor guy comes out after he sees the wall, and all the faces on all the little cronies are just too much!), Christy is in the mix too, it’s so over the top, it’s just awesome!)

Anyways, your song idea is great, hope you enjoy the video (if you haven’t seen it).

What she meant was that the bombings weren't bombings.

She’s right. It’s not a “bombing” when Muslims do it, it’s an act of devotion to their god.

CNN - A business school case study:

How CNN went from first place to last place in cable news by replacing objectivity with political correctness,
leftist bias, and political advocacy.
