CNN Host: 'Sadly,' Michael Cohen Allegations Might Not Hurt Trump
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Has the liberal media's blatant bias against President Trump hit a new low? A CNN host appears to have expressed sadness that allegations made against the president might not hurt him politically.

On CNN's New Day this morning, substitute host Erica Hill was discussing allegations against President Trump contained in a book by Michael Cohen, his former employee. The particular subject at hand was Cohen's assertion that in the run-up to the 2016 election, Trump hired an actor to portray President Obama, and that Trump subsequently berated and ultimately "fired," a la The Apprentice, the "Faux-bama."

Commenting on it, Hill said:

"I wonder if this will still have an impact, though, sadly, given where we are at this point."

I’m eagerly looking forward to the day when CNN openly admits that it’s not a news outlet, but a propaganda agency for Democrats and the Left.

Blatant bias bump

At this point, it would be newsworthy if CNN reported something factual and unbiased.

Yes, too bad there wasn’t a video of Trump firing a fake Obama. Would make a great commercial even.

Who cares if Trump role played with an actor? He paid the guy, right? Who cares if he filmed some scenes? Trump was a TV producer, right? Who cares how he spent his money while he was a private citizen, as long as it was legally spent? Rich people can afford to satisfy a whim if they want to.

Michael Cohen is about as believable as Al Gore saying he invented the internet

I think the RNC was going to have a video in 2012(It shows Obama talking about how he would be “More flexible” with Russia after the election) but I have not seen the video I think its a parody

That is some top level reporting right there - they don’t make any bones about it these days. Rope, tree, journalist.

I read a WSJ article about the allegations. Apparently Trump likes beautiful women. Who knew?

Also, Trump got a 10mm refund from the IRS and held it up and said “they are so stupid”. Well...since Trump has been continuously audited I don’t see this as much of an issue.
And they say he inflated the value of his real estate for bank loans - who decides what the value is? It’s whatever someone will pay.

Trump made a video of him firing Obama in 2012 when Romney was running. They didn’t use it for some reason. It is suprising that Cohen couldn’t get it right. This is a great video.

The more BS they throw in Trump’s direction, the more it sprays back at them in the face. People hate the media much more so than they hate Trump... They’ve been attacking their President since the day he took office and his chances of being re-elected are much better than most. They need to slowly accept their fate of being sore losers for another four years.
