CNN Tries to Blame Trump for Incident Between Montana Candidate and Reporter
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 05/25/2017 9:57:14 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

James Taranto’s late, lamented Wall Street Journal column had a running tongue-in-cheek rubric, “We Blame George W. Bush,” in which the former president was blamed for everything under the sun, despite his utter lack of connection to it.

In that spirit, Taranto might have had a field day with a panel discussion on CNN this morning, in which the participants did their best to blame President Trump for an incident in Montana in which the Republican congressional candidate has been accused of manhandling a reporter. Co-host Alisyn Camerota got the ball rolling by asking whether there is “some sort of larger story or message we should take away here . . . growing aggression against the press.”

I would like to throttle CNN. I voted for Trump. It is Trump’s fault I want to throttle CNN. The fact CNN wants a large intrusive government and me taxed into oblivion has nothing to do with it. CNN is populated by mental morons.

CNN isn’t any longer a “news” site; its an ongoing Anti-Trump Infomercial.

Someone tell CNN to get back to us when GOP candidates start attacking reporters with bicycle locks. I might care then.

Yep and when ‘blame Bush’ didn’t work, they went all the way back to ‘blame Reagan’...

These nits who continue to mendaciously report are not journalists...they are instead, guilty of libelous/criminal behavior...CNN's anchors are the radicalized Far Left apparatchiks.

As a news organization, CNN is an American embarrassment.

“CNN isn’t any longer a “news” site; its an ongoing Anti-Trump Infomercial”

Very true! Along those lines, I made this YouTube of the CNN intro for the top of one of its hours this morning, asking whether in fact it was an intro or a DNC ad. Everything in it is entirely negative about Republicans.

It is a little disturbing how obsessed the professional propagandists are with Trump. I’m not sure why they are worried about “aggression against the press,” though, considering what CNN does has almost nothing to do with the press, reporting of actual news, and anything resembling traditional journalism. Working gratis on behalf of the DNC in the most obvious and dishonest ways possible doesn’t make CNN part of the “press,” regardless of what they hope the gullible will believe.

The feeling’s mutual. The “press” continually shows arrogant contempt for regular law-abiding, hard-working, patriotic American citizens.

The Clinton News Network must think Trump is omnipotent.
