CNN is pushing back on claims that one of its lead news anchors was seen celebrating Hillary Clinton's historic nomination for president Thursday night, calling the accusation "absurd."
A video circulating online shows anchor Wolf Blitzer dancing to Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" while drinking from a glass and waving his hands in the air, apparently at the network's CNN Grill in Philadelphia. "CNN celebrates Hillary: Blitzer toasts speech, dancing, party!" reads a headline at the conservative Drudge Report, linking to the video.
But a CNN spokesman said Friday that Blitzer was not showing bias toward the Democratic nominee, only celebrating the end of the network's coverage of both parties' national conventions.
"After two straight weeks on the road covering both conventions, the last night at the Grill was a time to unwind, have a drink and celebrate CNN's tremendous success," said a statement from the network.
"CNN staffers and their guests both Republicans and Democrats, joined in the fun. To suggest it was anything more than that is, quite simply, absurd."
Just imagine their faces on the night of 8th of November.
The media and political elites are so heavily entwined that the defeat of one by Mr Trump will see the other crumble
Little Wolfie is too intellectually challenged to have principles.
(Rofl, on the thread last night someone said wolf has a face like a vagina, still can’t get over that one)
What is absurd CNN is anyone that thinks your network is not in collusion with Democrats.
That is very nice to hear.
This article once again mentions Hillary’s historic win. Not too historic. Many women have run for POTUS. The first one was in 1873(?), a free love and women’s rights advocate. Then there was Cynthia McKinney on the Green Party ticket in 2008.
Wolf finally answered a Jeopardy question correctly and was celebrating
beat me to it...what did he ring up, something like negative 4500...?
Holding news correspondents to a higher standard? Ha...they hate it and deny it. They are lower than the Rat candidate itself. Clinton News Network is right.
The only thing historic about Hillary’s win was that it was stolen from Bernie right in front of everyone’s eyes.
Hail to the Thief!
LOL
Uh huh. Those pompoms come with the suit, Wolfie?
She came. She saw. She stole a nomination. And Wolf did a drunk dance.
“As did all of the people in Anderson Coopers booth.”
I watched most of the event and one of those people was Van Jones..if he did stand up for the pledge and anthem, it would be the first time he has and surely just for the camera’s. You could read upon the communist agitator here:

After what we now know of the media...B.S. people, you lie!!!
Ok. Who paid for the wine?

My money is on Megyn Kelly or Hillz.
This is beyond stupid. All the leaks over CNN/DNC collusion and he doesn’t have any better sense than to pull a stunt like that.
That Leftist Hillary toadie will I assume be one of the attack dogs moderating one of the Trump / Clinton debates.
