White House: CNN ‘a Disgrace to All of Media, to All of Journalism’
Breitbart ^ | 06/27/17 | Joel B. Pollak

Posted on 06/27/2017 1:06:43 PM PDT by Enlightened1

Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told the White House Press Corps on Tuesday that CNN was “a disgrace to journalism.”

Sanders’s remarks came after CNN retracted a “fake news” story over the weekend alleging links between a member of President Donald Trump’s transition team and a Russian firm, and after an exposé on Monday by James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas showed a CNN producer admitting the Russia story was “bullsh*t.”

Earlier in the day, President Donald Trump had blasted CNN on Twitter, along with other mainstream media networks. He also retweeted a parody of the CNN logo that recast the channel as “FNN” — “Fake News Network”:

The Trump admin is taking down the fake media step by step.

They have nothing and if they are not careful a few of their friends may be headed towards the graybar hotel.

Why not find some other white house, and let them cover stories there, and ban them for the duration from the White House while Trump is in office?

"A reporter in the back complained that Sanders was “inflaming everybody right here, right now, with those words.”

Quit whining snowflake.

Here is what Jake Tapper of CNN said on June 25 - “Last night I was honored with the Los Angeles Press Club’s President’s Award”

“I know it’s difficult, and I know that it’s easy to get swept up into the stance of opposition when a politician declares war not only on journalism, but on the very concept of empirical fact, and sometimes when that politician declares war on the very concept of basic decency. And we need to stand up for fact and truth and decency.”

“But when we look our kids in the eye, our grandkids in the eye, in two decades, and tell them what we did during this era, we need we need to make sure that we were also maintaining the integrity of journalism...”



Again...

“when that politician declares war on the very concept of basic decency. And we [Tapper, CNN, msm] need to stand up for fact and truth and decency.”

“..we [Tapper, CNN, msm] need to make sure that we were also maintaining the integrity of journalism..”

What a joke!

The severely “liberal” Fraud would have shut down or taken over CNN for publishing 5% of the attacks they’ve made on Trump.

She said what needed to be said.

Easy retort:

“So, will you and your leftist co-workers put on your black hoodies and trash the press room?”

Trump is changing our most respected journalism organizations—including the New York Times, the Washington Post, the network evening newscasts and CNN.

The big news is that many of our best journalists seem, in news coverage, not just opinion pieces, to be moving away from balance and nonpartisanship.

I say good for them.

So, the msm is now embracing their propaganda.

They are accepting it.
They are telling everyone that is what they do.

They LIE.
They fabricate LIES.

They are purveyors of #FAKENEWS.

They are #FAKEAMERICANS

Trump’s slaying ALL comers!!!

But I’m feeling odd lately.

Does it ever happen where you need a shrink because you were losing for so long that you are overwhelmed with winning? i get these tremors... :)

When will the White House act on this and replace CNN with a more deserving media outlet in the briefing room and in pools? Until then this is all theatre.
