Texans Troll CNN During Live Report: ‘CNN Is Fake News!’
Western Journalism ^ | 08/30/2017 | Kailey Guillemin

A senior White House correspondent for CNN just experienced an embarrassing on-air interruption.

President Donald Trump and CNN have made no secret of their distaste for each other, and the network has been repeatedly lambasted for its relentless criticism of Trump.

Even in the midst of the destruction wrought by Hurricane Harvey, Trump’s supporters in Texas seem to be on his side.

CNN senior White House correspondent Jeff Zeleny was in the middle of a live report Tuesday from Austin, Texas, in which he was covering Trump’s response to the hurricane.

But as he spoke, people off-camera were heard shouting at him.

“CNN is fake news!” one heckler yelled.

Though others echoed that sentiment, Zeleny kept his composure and continued reporting, claiming Trump is still “learning on the job” when it comes to his response to the natural disaster.

Zeleny wasn’t the only CNN reporter to face backlash that day.

CNN correspondent Nick Valencia tweeted Tuesday about being heckled in Corpus Christi by a crowd “shouting derogatory things.”

“CNN is fake news!” yelled mocking passersby at CNN’s Jeff Zeleny during a live spot from Austin, TX on Tuesday.

“What about Antifa?” asked another person unseen by CNN’s camera.

“CNN is ISIS,” is also heard by an off-camera heckler.

This is EXACTLY what conservatives should do, every time CNN or MSNBC or ABC does a broadcast on the street.
Stand your ground, get in the picture, and mock them ON AIR.

They do need to be mocked every time they turn a camera on.

Why would a reporter go to Austin to talk about the Hurricane?

Someone please help us, there MUST be some way to get CNN out of airports. There must be a freeper that has knowledge of how we could get them out.

Could be its where the governor lives and the state legislature resides...

I have been wondering why this doesn’t happen more often ?
I suppose most people are afraid to confront the big bad media.
Also the locals surprised me where as I would never allow the scum bags on my boat for any reason.

claiming Trump is still “learning on the job”

He said, "learning on the job in terms of empathy . . .”
