The latest video from Project Veritas is the most damning evidence yet of what we have ALL known: that the mainstream press has a dire liberal/pro-Democrat bias and they think nothing of ignoring basic journalism ethics if it means higher profits and manipulating the masses.
CNN is going to do its damndest to sweep this under the rug. To make sure people don't see this. And the major networks and liberal publications are going to close ranks behind their fellow traveler.
So it's time for Trump to strike while the iron is hot...
He should declare that CNN has now pretty much admitted that it peddles in fake news, that it has an agenda and it isn't objective journalism, that its producers know that the Russian issue is "bullshit", and that it laughs at the notion of ethics.
CNN has told the world that it can not be trusted.
So why is CNN allowed a presence at the White House among the press corps?
Trump needs to tweet the PV video and annnounce that CNN is henceforth banned from having a correspondent in the White House press pool. And if anyone asks why, he and his staff merely point to the video of the CNN producer admitting that they have a mission... and that it's NOT to be honest and trustworthy.
CNN has taken a blow. It's going to do everything it can to stem the damage. Trump should not let them. They've plunged the knife into themselves. Now it's time to twist... hard.
Absolutely correct! I just posted something to this effect on another thread.
When an enemy poses as something else to gain access, you cut them off! I hope it happens today, and on camera.
As an aside, can you imagine all of the nervous meetings going on this morning at the other outlets? I’d love to be a fly on the wall.
If he kicks them, people will be up in arms. If he lets them stay, people can see how biased they are.
Yes kick them out-they don’t need to be there..they can write and produce their fake news just as well in their underwear on the sofa..
I think they should be booted..dont care how upset people get over it
Wasen’t Napoleon’s “whiff of grapeshot” fired so as to “encourage the others?”
So, FIRE—and encourage the rest.
They've already let people see how biased they are.
You do not allow someone back inside the bank after they keep holding up the teller at gunpoint again and again... and again.
C*NN has three staff vacancies so the WH bunch (Acosta) needs to be sent back to Atlanta.
The biased and anti Trump media is oblivious to the big contribution they made to putting DJT over the top on November 8th.
If he kicks them out, the only people to be up in arms wll be the CNN people and those who hang on their every lying word.
Millions of US see CNN and the other denizens of the MEDIA only when forced to see them while in line at a coffee shop, airport concourse, or walking by a display of TV sets in a big box store.
There are many other sources of the truth, and you are looking at a prine example NOW.
I'd rather have the people up in arms than have totally fake and false news being fed to them. I think even the dimmest of the dimwits will get it....eventually! On the other hand, it doesn't matter a wit to some of these people what they get fed! As in: "Say, here's a sh*t sandwich! It's tastes good and is good for you!" (And, they'll eat it and believe it!)
WINNING! I know that, supposedly, ALL press somehow puts a name or event out there giving it attention. But, I still, for me anyway, would never appeasr on some of these sets to be misquoted and lied about. Especially if you know who has the bad track record. Think they whined when they were relegated to the Siberia section? They’ll be screaming about their 1st amendment rights now if they’re excluded. TOO FRIGGIN’ BAD!
I think its more effective to keep them in the public eye and expose their lies in a very public way. It is catching on and there is a large part of the population that knows CNN are liars and make stuff up to promote their agenda. (Fake News)
I am wondering if it might be more effective to let them stay and really give them the jazz every time you call on them. Ask them if they’re still on a witch hunt or if they want to play the role of reporters today. Ask them if their leadership wants to return to actually being a news organization. Really lay it on, making it very embarrassing for them and sending a message to the rest of the frauds.
Lol - just saw your post after I posted pretty much the same thing.
Much better strategy to give them the gears. Team Trump could have a blast with this.
President Trump should boot out CNN until Time Warner fires Jeff Zucker from the Presidency of CNN.
And let’s not forget the overarching reason for banning CNN, Money! Let (F)Zucker
have to go “explain” to his BOD why he’s not making enough money off of his fake news outlet. The way to bastards like (F)Zucker is through his wallet. Because no matter how much of a Commie/Socialist/Marxist he may be, money is more important to him. He’d let you fondle his testicles for a buck.
Wrong answer. The only way to expose their lies and treachery is to allow them to continue doing it. Banning them would only increase desire for their “forbidden fruit” and make them into heroes of the resistance.
Access is driven by congressional press pass by the Standing Committee of Correspondents, which includes "work for a publication whose "principal business is the daily dissemination of original news and opinion of interest to a broad segment of the public" and is "editorially independent of any institution, foundation or interest group that lobbies the federal government." The reporter must also pass Secret Service security clearance.
If Acosta continues playing the role of heckler, remove him for being disruptive. If CNN crosses the defamation line, there is a remedy in law for that.
Otherwise, better for the people to mistrust the press, than to trust it.
