Relying on an “expert” who turns out to be a former Obama aide, CNN this morning compared the Trump family to “corrupt regimes around the world.”
Asked by host Christi Paul whether the presence of Trump family members in official meetings with foreign heads of state and business leaders posed an ethical problem, CNN reporter Cristina Alesci said “a number of ethics experts said, yeah, it’s a serious problem. A number of outspoken experts are comparing the Trump’s family behavior to corrupt regimes around the world.”
The only “expert” cited was former Obama aide Norman Eisen, seen in a clip saying “this is not the first time this has happened. I’m just shocked it’s happened in the United States.”

8 out of 3 experts agree.
When Trump’s lawyers start a law suit against her, will she get fired by Clinton Not News, aka CNN!
"A Number..."
Well, ONE is a number.
As usual, the libs are unhinged, but I personally would like to see Trump’s family members step away from any official capacities in the administration after the transition phase is complete.
ROTFL! These “expert” snowflakes are really retarded.
She’s too young to remember the Two-for-One Clintons much less the Kennedy “Royal” family.
CNN reporting an event that wasn’t real and never happened.
CNN FAKEDNEWS that Secret Service visited Trump.
“Reuters just announced that Secret Service never spoke to me or my campaign. Made up story by @CNN is a hoax. Totally dishonest,” he [TRUMP] tweeted.
I’m guessing they haven’t met the Clintons yet
I am so glad we have such “unbiased experts” helping “unbiased Clinton team reporters” creating “fake news” for the consumption of what Hillary calls the deplorables and Obama thinks of the ignorant masses.
At a certain point the biased media is just digging its own grave even deeper. CNN is a propaganda arm of the Democratic party, nothing more and nothing less.

"I heard what the governor said, and Bash’s portrayal of his words was completely inaccurate. Some might say Bash engaged in sloppy reporting. But it wasn’t. We’re well past sloppy reporting in America (though sloppy reporting would be bad enough). I have no choice but to assume that it was an intentional misrepresentation of the governor’s statement."

Etc.
CNN Lies about OBAMA not backing gun confiscation.
In that same piece, CNN then reports a blatant lie: ...
Thanks. Seems appropriate since CNN has been leading this extreme left-wing censorship effort.

CNN and the business of state-sponsored TV news
Glenn Greenwald, 4 Sept 2012
The network is seriously compromising its journalism in the Gulf states by blurring the line between advertising and editorial
• Report: why didn’t CNNi air its own ‘iRevolution’ documentary?
Tuesday 4 September 2012 15.02 EDT First published on Tuesday 4 September 2012 15.02 EDT
Today I reported on the refusal of CNN International (CNNi) to broadcast an award-winning documentary, “iRevolution”, that was produced in early 2011 as the Arab Spring engulfed the region and which was highly critical of the regime in Bahrain. The documentary, featuring CNN’s on-air correspondent Amber Lyon, viscerally documented the brutality and violence the regime was using against its own citizens who were peacefully protesting for democracy. Commenting on why the documentary did not air on CNNi, CNN’s spokesman cited “purely editorial reasons”.
Even so, the network’s relationships with governments must bear closer examination. CNNi has aggressively pursued a business strategy of extensive, multifaceted financial arrangements between the network and several of the most repressive regimes around the world which the network purports to cover. Its financial dealings with Bahrain are deep and longstanding.
CNNi’s pursuit of sponsorship revenue from the world’s regimes:
CNNi’s pursuit of and reliance on revenue from Middle East regimes increased significantly after the 2008 financial crisis, which caused the network to suffer significant losses in corporate sponsorships. It thus pursued all-new, journalistically dubious ways to earn revenue from governments around the world. Bahrain has been one of the most aggressive government exploiters of the opportunities presented by CNNi.
These arrangements extend far beyond standard sponsorship agreements for advertising of the type most major media outlets feature. CNNi produces those programs in an arrangement it describes as “in association with” the government of a country, and offers regimes the ability to pay for specific programs about their country. These programs are then featured as part of CNNi’s so-called “Eye on” series (”Eye on Georgia”, “Eye on the Phillipines”, “Eye on Poland”), or “Marketplace Middle East”, all of which is designed to tout the positive economic, social and political features of that country.
