CNN's Berman Goads Dems as Soft on Scandal: 'Where Does the Rubber Meet the Road?'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 05/07/2019 7:32:48 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

In the Clinton years, CNN bemoaned the Republicans for investigating scandals. In the Trump years, CNN goads the Democrats to push harder on investigating scandals. On Tuesday, CNN New Day co-host John Berman sounded like a coach ripping into his team at half-time for its lack of aggressiveness, prodding Democrats into moving faster and harder against the Trump administration, asking when the "rubber will meet the road" and fretting the Dems will "succumb to the delay tactics" of the White House.

Maybe he should join Jerry Nadler's staff instead of being an "objective" journalist.

Washington Post reporter and CNN analyst Rachael Bade tried to cheer up poor John, insisting "you're going to see them go to court soon," although in the meantime the Dems have to "look like" they're trying to work with the White House. The precise date and time of when Dems go to court are "TBD," said Bade, unless they take the more dramatic step of starting impeachment proceedings.

I was gonna pull stage a coup, but then I got high

I was gonna frame the President of United States, but then I got high

I relied on the Mueller Report, I don’t know why.

...and then I got high, and then I got high, and then I got high.

The rubber meets the road right on your ugly ass face, John.

What a coincidence.

This is WHY the Pelosi/Biden attempt to run to the center will fail.

The media is all-in with the AOC Leftist wing of the party.
They are the ones fueling it. And they will force feed their agenda, regardless of what cooler heads think.

Guess he doen’t want to be in the next bunch of CNN layoffs. Their ratings have cratered since the Mueller report exonerated the President. (Saying “exhonerated” makes their heads explode!)

Well, it will sell air time and papers. And in the end, even though the extreme left will lose, it won't matter to the media because Trump will still be there for them to attack

CNN people take the buy out while you still can. Next move will be layoffs no buyout. CNN is not smart enough to change a losing game.
