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.

HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!
It’s going to be tough to keep from thinking of this and laughing inappropriately at church today.
“Know your role.. etc”.
Steve Scalise would like to comment but he’s recovering from the media own incitement to violence....
The LSM is upset because they don’t understand that wrassling is fake. If you’re the drunkest one at the party, you can’t see that others are drinking. Hence it is with fake news.
Same here!
I would like to see Trump do that to that puss Paul Ryan and that sloth McConnell
Looks like the President brought CNN down with a
‘Clothesline’ move. Works even better if you put your right foot behind the opponent’s right heel as you push his torso off balance, thus ‘aiding’ his quick collapse.
Yeah, funny how the MSM had absolutely NO problem with a Trump, look a like being assassinated, or beheaded by Kathy the ISIS wannabe, or Republicans being targeted for assassinations. But a funny video of them being taken down by a 70 year old, OMG, it’s unacceptable!
Everybody with any sense is laughing their ass off at CNN. This is the equivalent of shooting the nuns in the backside with a spit wad. The nuns freak out, the kids are laughing and even the school priest has a chuckle.
I clicked on the drudge video that’s on his site right now but it only says “this video can not be displayed”.
What does that even mean?
MSM can dish it out but can’t take a hit
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,”
Wait a minute. According to Poynty head Ben Mullin, journalists were being murdered around the world BEFORE President Trump's tweet.
Yo, Ben, Ana, why don't you two go get a room, Joe and Mika style, and get your stories together and then get back to us.
Capiche?
Actually, Ben, it is pretty funny.
Waiting for the usual RINO crowd to jump in ..
“We’re gonna need a bigger safe space”
It seems every day is a new media meltdown moment.
Will any of them survive to the 2020 [re]election night?

About time somebody did...these pink panties pukes have been hiding behind the first amendment for far too long.
