🚨 CNN is clutching their pearls over the Secret Service doing their job.
Anderson Cooper and Kaitlan Collins spent an entire segment shocked — shocked! — that President Trump’s team used decoy planes, lowered window shades, and even a catering truck to move him after a serious Iranian threat on his life.
They watched him board one plane. He wasn’t on it.
He was already on a different aircraft.
Their reaction?
“Is there any precedent for this kind of deception?”
Yes. It’s called protecting the President of the United States from people who want him dead.
They make it sound like the scandal is that the press got left out of the loop.
Not that Iran tried to kill the President.
Not that the threat was severe enough to force multiple plane switches.
Just that reporters didn’t get to film every second of it.
This is the same network that spent years treating every security measure around Trump as somehow illegitimate.
When the Secret Service actually does its job and keeps the President alive, CNN treats it like a cover-up.
Priorities.

At what point does a media outfit lose the privilege of being called a news network? CNN has crossed into complete Marxist propaganda and become more of an infomercial. They do not deserve press protection and credentials. The same goes for MSwhatever.
I don’t think it takes too many guesses to figure out just why it is that CNN wants as little protection around the President as possible.
The Fourth Estate has been a Fifth Column for quite a long time, now.
MSDNC?
Here is the way I look at it, if a foreign country manages to take to a POTUS or a former POTUS, regardless of party, then Iran ceases to exist, even if we have to launch a ground invasion, the Islamic Regime will be gone.
***At what point does a media outfit lose the privilege of being called a news network?***
I agree. In the first Trump Administration, Trump tried to get CNN’s Anderson Cooper removed from WH press corp... a corrupt federal judge said no. The WH had no authority over who could invade.
Now SCOTUS has ruled the country has no control over who can become a citizen - 14th Amendment. Corruption is going to be our undoing!
The SS did a great job. CNN is just unhappy that the outcome was a good one.
What? What? You don't appreciate the Commie Nitwit Network?
I believe that was Jim Acosta....
“Their reaction?”
“’Is there any precedent for this kind of deception?’”
Translation: “HOW THE HELL ARE WE SUPPOSED TO KILL HIM WHEN THESE TRICKS ARE GOING ON?!?”
Not really. I would be happy to never hear from them again. It wouldn’t mind never having to see Kaitlyn Mulvaney again either.
wasnt lincoln dressed as a woman through the streets of baltimore?
The ONLY time CNN was at a rally with President Trump was at BUTLER, PA, THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.
WHAT DID THEY KNOW AND WHEN DID THEY KNOW IT?
F CNN. What did they have to say about the decoy 7 ft Biden.
You asked re Butler: “WHAT DID THEY KNOW AND WHEN DID THEY KNOW IT?”
CNN was onsite in the early morning hours BEFORE Roger Stone was arrested. I ask: “WHAT DID THEY KNOW AND WHEN DID THEY KNOW IT?”
Things that make you go, “Hmmmm...”
Yes. When George W. Bush attended Thanksgiving Dinner in Iraq, the press was kept in ignorance until the danger was over.
Why should the main stream media have a problem with that?
Deception?
Yes the fake president joe brandon
MSDSA.
CNN’s Chinese and muslim overlords are. not happy with them. So CNN is not happy.
Why should the main stream media have a problem with that?
~~~
You mean the same media that leaks everything about the Trump administration, every chance they can get?
I’m sure there is some perfectly innocent motive. /S
