CBS HAILS Trump’s ‘Incredible’ SOTU as ‘Morning in America’ with ‘Compelling Stories’
News Busters ^ | 2/5/2020 | By Curtis Houck

Posted on 02/05/2020 8:50:02 AM PST by NohSpinZone

What was going on CBS Tuesday night during the State of the Union? Do we need to file a slew of missing persons’ reports? Or was there a real-life Invasion of the Body Snatchers? Those answers seemed plausible considering CBS’s overwhelmingly positive reaction to President Trump’s speech.

In their post-speech reactions, CBS journalists praised the “master showman” President’s “incredible remarks” that, while “restrained,” showcased “a strong record on the economy” and “emotionally compelling stories” about “great Americans.” Even more surprisingly, the praise was juxtaposed with condemnation for Democrats.

CBS Evening News anchor Norah O’Donnell led off by noting that Trump “promised relentless optimism” and delivered “a speech unlike any other I have witnessed from [him] where the reality TV President took on the State of the Union, a master showman at his best.”

Face the Nation moderator Margaret Brennan agreed, telling O’Donnell that Trump was “[v]ery much the showman.”

I don’t think the President would see it that way. Neither would the Gipper.

CBS might still want to be relevant in the future.

I think you have it. They can read the writing on the wall, and realize that Trump will defeat any of the current Democrat candidates in November. Four more years!

“You get a Medal Of Honor!”

“You get a husband!”

It was a nice touch—especially with the Democrats protesting everything good and healthy for the country and the world.

The Democrats visibly showed hate of our country last night, for all to see.

They want unemployment, bad relations with foreign governments, crime to skyrocket, etc.

That’s not what she meant.

What you want it to mean and what she and others know what she intended to say are TWO VERY different things.

Come on man you know that.

I see your posts. You’re too sharp not to get what she did

As they did so grudgingly with Reagan, the media is realizing their relentless mocking of a popular President, combined with the antics of his insane opposition, is tarnishing their “brand.” And their “brand” is all they think about.

That really is not a compliment coming from dear Margaret.

But, it's a start.

The stock market seems to agree - futures were negative last night and the market is up "YUGELY" today.

It's becoming abundantly clear that the Dems have NO-ONE who can beat Trump - unless they throw a real hail Mary and bring in someone new (Moochelle?) at the very last minute..Biden sure ain't gonna do it - he's toast at this point. Bernie and Pocahontas are way too radical..as is Mayor Pete once you dig a little..things are indeed looking very good for 4 more years!!

While I think this was more an act of accidental journalism, I do believe that one of the major networks could make a good move by dropping the left-wing advocacy and becoming more balanced. Fox News seems to have drifted to the left, which means there are a lot of viewers looking for a new home.

/“showman” a pejorative?

I wondered that as well. Why “showman” instead of statesman?

Trump has been pushing relentless optimism for 4 years. CBS is just now noticing?

What is “Moochelle’s” qualification?

Most likely to be at least one of the parents of the two little girls who used to live in the White House?

CBS is the first to break ranks with the Marxist media’s orthodoxy of hate and anti-Americanism. For having done so, these courageous souls can probably kiss their mainstream media careers goodbye. Retaliation by their Stalinist peers and political overlords will be both swift and vicious.

My take is America is doing great and people know it, Nancy may have played to the far left but American dems outside of NY CA Austin and Madison probably liked the speech and not the Nancy stunt. She was just dumb.

Showman = Entertainer

If she tried to make that negative, she failed

“What’s going on here, I wonder?”

I have noticed over the last year or so the CBS morning show have been going conservative and giving positive sides to conservatives.
