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.”

Getting ready to welcome their New Orange Overlord.

The fustercluck in Iowa has convinced them that NO DEMOCRAT is going to beat him. And they don’t want to be on the menu for revenge in an unfettered second term.

CBS is working diligently to divert attention away from last night’s demonstration of Democrat Party hostility to America and American greatness.

They most liked Trump’s “Touch O’ Oprah” moments.

I wonder if some of the less rabid media are starting to see the wheels coming off the Democrat clown car

Trump was presidential

Pelosi was childish

The Dem Protesters were childish

This wasn’t the time or place for their middle school antics

Americans were watching this

CBS might still want to be relevant in the future.

Someone must have hacked their computers and changed the script on the teleprompters. Those numbskulls wouldn’t notice. They don’t think, they just read.

Chris Matthews seems to be on board the Trump train.

He belittled Dems in Iowa ....for not even being able to organize a three-car parade.

Yeah, satire is supposed to be labeled as such in the title.

Maybe they are hoping flattery will get them an exclusive interview with Trump with a female reporter who can then, round about October, claim Trump grabbed her under the table...

I liked this comment from the CBS panel..

If Democrats want to make an argument to the country, if all the country hears is bickering and unhappiness, it helps an incumbent President with a strong economy and, by the way, doesn't help anybody looking for solutions that Democrats might have. This is a challenge for Democrats to be able to respond to the arguments the President made with their own strengths. Tearing up papers is not one of their strengths.

Margaret Brennan -- "Trump was very much the showman.”

That's damning with faint praise. "Showman" suggests pretense, vacuity, braggadocio, and bald-faced lies.

There is none of that with President Trump. He is the real deal, talking from his heart, and deeply believes everything he said and is deeply proud of his ACCOMPLISHMENTS. He is GENUINE.

Master showman means entertainer

President Trump is a master showman, it is what he does.

He knows who to grab attention, speak effectively and make you want to know or watch more.

That is a master showman

Right, Norah is a rat tool in her bones so she had to throw in “Master Showman” while giving grudging praise for the speech.
