Journalists reacted in horror Sunday morning after President Trump tweeted a fake video that showed him body-slamming “fraud news” CNN in a fake wrestling match.
While many of the president’s supporters online reacted to the video with humor, the consensus among journalists seemed to be that Trump was inciting violence against the media.
The Washington Post headlined its news coverage of the tweet, “Trump appears to promote violence against CNN with tweet.” WaPo reporter David Nakamura wrote: “A day after defending his use of social media as befitting a ‘modern day’ president, President Trump appeared to promote violence against CNN in a tweet.”
ABC News’ chief political analyst Matthew Down claimed Trump is “advocating violence against media” and demanded Republican leaders “put country over party” in response to the fake video of fake wrestling.
“Around the world, journalists are murdered with impunity on a regular basis,” Poynter managing editor Ben Mullin gravely stated. “This isn’t funny.”
CNN commentator Ana Navarro called the tweet “an incitement to violence” in an appearance on ABC News. “He is going to get somebody killed in the media,” she claimed.

Yet when the table is turned on to them they go into full meltdown mode.
I laughed so hard I almost choked!
Gotta love Trump.
Guess plays showing him being assassinated or heads being held up does not incite violence, but him bodyslamming the media does. OK, we get it lying press.
It’s horrifying....horrifying I tell you. Where does he get off with a parody, based in Truth, as a rejoinder to all their actual attacks on him and the Constitution; all based on lies and fake assertions that are all being debunked?
AND I’M HORRIFIED BY THE WAY THEY CONTINUE TO SPEW THEIR 24/7 lies about our President and his family!! SLAM THEM AGAIN MR. PRESIDENT ...(chanting). ...HIT THEM AGAIN HIT THEM AGAIN .. HARDER HARDER!!!
The poor snowflakes!
They have NO sense of humor. This is why they are so disconnected from the people. Americans have a great sense of humor, liberals do things like Kathy G and think that’s funny and the rest of the country is horrified. We do things like this and the liberals are horrified
Doing what millions of Americans want to do about the MSMLSDLGBTWXYZ media.
Oh noes! Promoting violence! Hu does he think he is? Only demonicRATS are allowed to to do that!
CNN (or more accurately “FNN”) is populated with the biggest bunch of pajama boys in the universe.
Most of them are STILL living in their parents’ basements behind the furnace.
I’d have loved to have seen a groin kick by Trump in that clip.. but the body slam was just as good.
That video without the CNN head was on Free Republic before Trump modified and is now battering the whining mediots with it!
WINNING
Trump
Tweak by Tweet!
They call him Nazi over and over again. Call for his death and defend people calling for his death by saying it’s freedom of speech or art.
So President Trump hits them back, and it’s NOTHING compared to what they said. The Leftist media then goes down into full meltdown mode. The Leftist in the media are complete hypocrites.
That was hilarious! The media is going to overreact (they already are) people will see it, knows it’s a joke and think how ridithr media is. Again: Hilarious!!
Same here!
Love President Trump!!!
