CNN’s Acosta: Trump Only Calling on Conservative Media Can Only Be Described As ‘The Fix Is In’
Breitbart ^ | Feb 15, 2017 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 02/15/2017 12:50:37 PM PST by HarleyLady27

On Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Inside Politics,” CNN Senior White House Correspondent Jim Acosta stated that in the last three news conferences President Trump has done “all of the questions to the American news media have been handled by conservative press,” and “there’s no other way to describe it but, the fix is in.”

Acosta said, “[I]n the last three news conferences, Wolf, all of the questions to the American news media have been handled by conservative press, and I think, Wolf, there’s no other way to describe it but, the fix is in. This White House, this president, does not want to answer questions, critical questions, about his associates, his aides’ contacts with the Russians during the course of that campaign, just as his national security adviser is being run out of this White House on a rail. And so, I think that this only, you know — they may think that this is being cute, or they think this is strategic in terms of trying to shield the president from questions, but those questions can only be shielded for so long, Wolf.”

Many were/still are #NEVERTRUMPERS.

I haven't sen any. But even so, that doesn't disqualify them as conservative.

I love the New York Post. Generally, it’s been fairly conservative, although it did endorse Hillary for Senate — twice.

BTW, I’ve been a FReeper longer than you have.

I grew up in the conservative movement. Longtime YAFer. Involved in conservative politics since I was 8. My parents helped found the Conservative Party. I have worked for a number of conservative organizations, including the Conservative Caucus. I have been an active member of the DC Chapter of FR.

I had the privilege of knowing Russell Kirk when he would come and teach as a visiting professor at my college every year. I knew Bill Buckley a bit.

I’ve lived my life in the conservative movement, and I have put a lot into the movement.

Do you have a problem with that? You seem to.

NEWS FLASH....!!!

Speaking of cable networks, I just read that Gretchen Carlson, former beauty queen and Fox News blond talking-head, is signing on with the enemy, MSNBC. She's the one who won a huge settlement after suing Fox's former chief, Roger Ailes, for sexual harrassment.

No further details yet.

Again, as you know, that is not true. as I said, it’s pretty hard to claim that someone who voted for Trump could be a NeverTrumper. How do you manage to work that out?

What of these remarks?:

Calling Trump supporters “downright nasty”?
Saying Trump built his business “on the backs of the little guy”?
Saying his language was unpresidential?
Demanding that he release his tax returns?

Whoever would say that is clearly a NeverTrump person, right? Do you know who it was?

But Jane he’s back crowing three talking points

1) we’re racist

2) he’s a “true” conservative

3) he’s been on the forum a long time

He’s only back to snipe and wait for shots to claim racism

I bet if I look hard he should be on my south haters list

TBP you are slow on the uptake...it’s a new day and Trump is president and Bannon is in the White House right next to him

True Conservatism whatever that really infers is on the chill...or they are ass kissing like this week at CPAC

“Again, as you know, that is not true. as I said, it’s pretty hard to claim that someone who voted for Trump could be a NeverTrumper. How do you manage to work that out?”

That’s pretty easy: I don’t believe you. I think you and your pal Glenn Beck pulled the lever for Egg McMuffin. The rest of us get to compare what you posted in public with what you claim to have done in private. If that’s a problem you have yourself to blame.

They are afraid of losing spot on the gray train.
They may actually have to work for a living- to more canapé and partying for CNN

Oh, so you know who I voted for better than I do?

(BTW, if you listen to Beck, he didn’t vote for McMullin. He didn’t like McMullin’s views on a cou0ple of issues, including Russia. I think he said he voted for Darrell Castle.)
