Trump and Cruz and others have become quite skilled at deflecting bad questions. But you can’t always hit every ball.
I’ve heard Trump and Cruz openly reject questions and state that the premise is wrong and that the reporter should ask better questions. They do that a lot.
So the journalists seem to have switched tactics.
I heard 2 reporters on TV discuss this, and spin the story this way —
FIRST REPORTER: So, if you listen to the full tape, Trump never suggested any sort of database to track Muslims, did he? It was the reporter than brought that up?
SECOND REPORTER: That’s true. But the problem is — Trump didn’t reject the notion of the database. He seemed to consider it a reasonable inquiry, and that really calls into question Trump’s judgment. Do we want someone to be president if they don’t reject this notion out of hand?
Left-wing cable news network CNN has been caught red-handed selectively editing Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump’s comments about a “Muslim registry,” and doing so in order to make it sound as though he is agreeing to this registry. He is not.
The edited video is yet another lying log on the left-wing garbage fire that is CNN, and yet in just three weeks, this very same garbage fire is hosting the next Republican presidential debate!
What exactly does CNN have to do in order to lose its right to depose these candidates for two hours in front of the whole world? If CNN is already maliciously editing video to “take out” out the frontrunner, I don’t even want to speculate.
The media’s ‘position’-
Trump says NO. Means he doesn’t want to protect us.
Trump says YES. Means he wants to spy on everyone.
Trump doesn’t say YES or NO. Means he’s avoiding the question.
