David Frum: Media Mistakes Result of "Overzealous" Attempt by Press to be "Fair" to Trump
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Does anyone believe that the fake ABC and CNN hit pieces on Trump were the result of overzealous fairness? If it weren’t so outrageous, this would be funny . . .

On Brian Stelter’s CNN show this morning, during a discussion of the spate of MSM misreporting of stories in a way unfavorable to President Trump, guest David Frum actually said:

“The worst mistakes that press organizations have made in the coverage of Trump has precisely occurred in their effort, their overzealous effort, to be fair to the President.”

David Frum actually has the chutzpah to claim that the fake news stories against Trump by CNN and ABC were the result of their being “overzealous” in being “fair” to Trump.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Had to read the headline three times to try to make any sense of this schmoe.

Apologies: the headline is difficult to parse, but I wanted to be as verbatim as possible in describing what Frum said.

Here David, why don’t you go back to selling ocean front lots located in Richmond Hill and Don Mills, it would be much more believable, lol.

In my world, malicious lying is not considered an “error”.

Unbelievable assertion.

The “mistakes” always seem to turn out to be critical of the president and this dingbat thinks we will believe this cow pucky?
