CNN Goes on Rampage Against Susan Rice Bombshell, Instructs Viewers to Ignore Story
grabien ^ | April 4, 2017

Since news broke Monday that the Obama Administration's National Security Adviser, Susan Rice, directed the "unmasking" of NSA intercepts of Trump associates, CNN has raced to shoot down the blockbuster report.

CNN Tonight's Don Lemon went so far as to announce he would ignore the news at all costs.

While interviewing a Democratic congressman, CNN's Chris Cuomo claimed it was "demonstrably untrue" Rice sought surveillance of the Trump team, even as that's exactly what yesterday's reports prove.

Over the last 24 hours, the network has also repeatedly called on its chief national security correspondent, Jim Sciutto, to dismiss the reports as a non-story; Sciutto has even excused Rice claiming ignorance of the unmasking scandal two weeks ago, arguing Rice "wasn't aware" what unmasking Rep. Devin Nunes (D-Calif.) was referring to.

And on Tuesday's "New Day," anchor Alisyn Camerota openly pleaded with Sen. John McCain to write-off the news as unimportant.

Last night, Lemon began "CNN Tonight" with an announcement that the Rice report a "fake scandal ginned up by right-wing media and Trump" that he would not be baited into justifying with coverage.

"On this program tonight, we will not insult your intelligence by pretending," it's legitimate, he said. "Nor will we aid and abet the people trying to misinform you, the American people, by creating a diversion. Not going to do it."

Maybe there are people who don’t watch these Networks who don’t understand how right Trump is about them period I was watching last night just to observe the enemy and it was insane now they have just decided that what she did was of course perfectly normal.

They are really worried now and digging in their silicone-slick heels now.

They will fail - miserably.

Anderson Cooper just kept saying well of course if you’re reading these intelligence reports you will want to see who the people are so that you can understand the reports better. Completely ignoring the legal and ethical ramifications of spying on citizens and candidates.

It may as well be ignored. IF she is ordered to appear before CONgress, no doubt she’ll invoke the 5th and she’ll skate in the end. They’ve already proven that they won’t prosecute any of the felons because, well, racis’ or misogynistic or some lame ass excuse. And they wonder why the fly overs are fed up.

Don Lemon should be wearing a Gestapo Uniform on television while he is telling us to ignore the story.

Note to brain-dead Don Lemon. By going on about the story and how you aren’t going to cover it, you were covering it. Imagine these alleged news people are telling you that they refuse to discuss the news.

How many times can one say Fake News until it sinks in with the populace?

CNN is now behind MSNBC in ratings.

Their top rated show only reaches 1.1 million viewers.

A single Trump tweet reaches 27.4 million.

CNN is irrelevant.

Does CNN have a seat at the press briefings? I would say remove CNN from briefings from this point forward for the simple reason that they refuse to do their jobs.

It’s so big CNN can’t ignore it so they dedicated a lot of time announcing they’re going to ignore it. That’s funny.

What they thought was a little story that they could define as "fake" suddenly balloons into a thing they can no longer contain in a little file. It is slithering and spilling out.

ALL HANDS ON DECK!! MUST ... STOP ... ITS ... ADVANCE ... !!!

Good luck there, CNN.

Better yet, let them in, just ignore their questions. And if they do manage to ask a question, the stock answer from Spicer should be:

"Good question, let me get back to you on that".

What’s the normal human reaction when somebody tells you “Don’t look over there!”? Yep, that’s the first place you look. To call the people at CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC, et al “morons” is an insult to morons everywhere.
