Networks, MSNBC Spend Almost Six Minutes Promoting ‘Scrappy’ Code Pink Protester

When a lone protester from the anti-American, far-left group Code Pink tried to make noise in the crowd at the Republican National Convention (RNC) on Tuesday night, the “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC tag-teamed with MSNBC to spent nearly six minutes showing and discussing the “scrappy” protester.

ABC led the way with two minutes and 14 seconds hyping and/or showing the protester jostle with delegates and security as chief anchor and Clinton Foundation donor George Stephanopoulos intently interested in the protester’s actions. This then gave way to chief foreign correspondent Terry Moran chiding the RNC for “another remarkable breach of security.”

After describing how much identification he has to show to reach the floor, Moran boasted how “we have now had several demonstrations” but were dissolved without delegates possessing “anger” or “menace” in the way that Trump rally attendees would.

Stephanopoulos agreed about there being “far more graphic violent scenes at those Trump rallies during the campaign” while also giving a play-by-play like a boxing announcer of the RNC delegates covering her in American flags and security attempting to pry her away.

Liberal commentator Cokie Roberts offered her thoughts on Code Pink before making sure to declare that “[t]hey protest against Democrats as well and she could have been a delegate for all we know going on the floor.”

Before moving on, chief White House correspondent Jonathan Karl used the scuffle to observe the number of empty seats off the immediate convention floor in the stands as something that won’t please Donald Trump.

Brief but still positive in their platitudes was MSNBC during their 53 seconds with co-hosts Brian Williams and Rachel Maddow touting her as “scrappy” before moving onto the speaker schedule.

The pinkos are “wildly popular” with the liberal, state controlled “media”.

This should make it clear to everyone who can think that Code Pink’s antics are coordinated with the 5th column media.

She got about two minutes on C-SPAN, which is two minutes longer than the supposedly impartial presenters should have allowed.

It does seem to be a security breach per night. What is going on?

All the MSM commentary is beginning to show pure panic. Trump is a reasonable, and nice fellow who can communicate

Why did it take security so long to remove this dirtbag?

They should find out whose credentials she was given. How else would she have gotten in?

“I can’t wait until the Bernie Fart-in next week”

From what little I saw of “Code Pink” on TV, They should be renamed Tit Pink! A bunch of female whales in scanty pink outfits trying to bring attention to themselves!

I’ve been watching the convention on Uverse 1212. No ‘pundits zone’.
Flipped over to ABC right after Christie( I think) and Cokie was droning on, interrupting a woman speaker at the time. Analyzing what I just heard.
Who cares what Cokie , daughter of dim senator, thinks! And the anchor Geo Step...., dim press secretary

Back to channel 1212.

I forget where I saw it but the young “lady” said she ‘found’ the pass on the ground outside and decided to see if she would be able to get in using it and she did! However the woman sitting in front of her sat on her banner and wouldn’t get off of it when she was ready to wave it so she got caught. It was funny how the msm crowded around her trying to get a sound bite at the time.
