President Trump renewed his attack on CNN as “fake news” on Tuesday morning after conservative provocateur James O’Keefe released a video of CNN producer John Bonifield criticizing the cabler’s coverage of Trump’s ties to Russia.
Early Tuesday, Trump suggested in a tweet that “Fake News CNN” was in for a management shakeup. The video released by O’Keefe’s Project Veritas features a nine-minute discussion with Bonifield, supervising producer of the CNN Health unit, in which Bonifield criticizes CNN’s heavy focus on the probe into the Trump administration’s connection to Russian officials.
Bonifield describes the Trump-Russia story as “mostly bulls—” and said the coverage was driven by the desire for ratings. He also says that Trump is “probably right” to describe the media’s focus on Russia’s ties to his administration as a “witch hunt.” Bonifield does not appear to realize that he is being videotaped by a man whose face is not seen on camera and is identified only as “PV Journalist” on screen.

Hehehehe. GO TRUMP GO
Winning! It just never gets old
CNN is a gossip rag like the National Enquirer .
Why do they still have a seat with the press in the White House ? It’s better to hand that seat to a blogger.

Agreed. Tweets are one thing - but it’s past time these clowns had their press credentials revoked. Same with the Washington Post.
Does CNN still have WH Press credentials? Still in airports?
Be still my heart. Trump could not only MAGA, but could kill off the Dem Party and CNN. Stick that in your history books
Looks like Variety and other lib media have agreed to run with the spin. He didn’t criticize the coverage. He criticized the entire story because it’s completely fake, like CNN.
The propagandists chickens are coming home to roost. Unfortunately, the people who most need to see the video (CNN’s viewers) will be the ones who do not.
I’m surprised Variety is covering it. That’s something at least.
I hope team Trump is just waiting for the best time, maybe next Monday, to pull CNN’s press credentials across the entire government. No CNN Journolists can attend State Dept, DOD, any govt press briefings at all.
CNN set out to destroy President Trump; return the favor.
