CNN is grasping at straws to explain away Americans' waning interest in the impeachment trial. On Reliable Sources Sunday, host Brian Stelter and his CNN colleagues Oliver Darcy and John Avlon blamed it on the “Fox [News] firewall” which apparently keeps the right ignorant of Democrat arguments. Besides dismissing conservatives as indoctrinated, the liberal panel also attacked the Trump administration was “flabby snowflakes” who were used to preferential media treatment.
That last statement was in reference to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo calling NPR reporter Mary Louise Kelly a “liar,” last week. The panel also brought up CNN reporter Manu Raju being called a liberal hack by Sen. Martha McSally as evidence that Republicans can’t take criticism from the media because they are so used to being coddled by Fox News.
As CNN’s senior political analyst John Avlon seethed, "They get frustrated they're asked to explain the President's incoherent behavior. That doesn't mean you can simply lie and evade. Part of it is the Fox effect. It's made them flabby, snowflakes. Used to softball interviews and expect them and when they get somebody asking clear, fair minded questions they are offended and unnerved and lash out and lie."

CNN Slams Republicans ‘Avoiding Uncomfortable Facts’ on Impeachment by Watching Fox News
Oops!
CNN just isn’t news anymore.
“They get frustrated they’re asked to explain the President’s incoherent behavior. That doesn’t mean you can simply lie and evade. Part of it is the Fox effect. It’s made them flabby, snowflakes. Used to softball interviews and expect them and when they get somebody asking clear, fair minded questions they are offended and unnerved and lash out and lie.”
How in the world can someone say something like this and keep from busting out laughing???
Haven't watched CNN in over 12 years. Feels great. Of course, I haven't watched ANY TV in the last 12 years. Last watched Sarah Palin's VP acceptance speech.
Get used to it lefties.
Who needs CNN. If I wanted to watch this kind of poop, I’d just click over to Chris Wallace.
By the way, does anyone know where I can get a fancy pair of glasses like Chris wears? I hear they make you an expert at everything. Also, where can I get smirking lessons so after I put on my “make me an expert at everything” glasses I can make sure my smirk lets everyone know I am an expert at everything.
The Clinton News Network say what now?
I have yet to hear of a crime the President has committed. Other than the Democrat Congress has their panties in a wad crime of “Obstruction of Congress”.
Yeah, right. Maybe someone should teach those idiot Democrats of something called “Three Branches”.
CNN is non-stop propaganda ala Trump.
CNNLIES-CNNLIES
I don’t watch any of them. Babylon Bee is my go-to source. [;o)~
I love it when a Leftist makes some sloppy comment about my needing to get my NEWS somewhere else other than FoxNews.
That’s when I mention that I cut my cable in 2013.
I then ask why they are so upset by one alternate network, when they just about own all the other media outlets in the nation (ideologically).
Crickets...
Their 90 viewers didn’t even believe what they were saying.
Certainly Not News
Classic projection.
