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”:

It looks like the White House press corp has been reading the Free Republic when I wrote:

Sean Hannity told us that the men behind the leaks have been CNN’s Jeff Zuker and NBC’s Andy Lack. Both networks have disgraced the reputation of American journalism around the world.

Does the president actually expect us not to report on stories of a foreign country trying to influence the presidential election.

No, but when you do run a story, you might occasionally consider telling the truth. The President's statement was not about this story, but rather, about CNN's well established pattern of publishing lies and half-truths.

So, let me ask you a question. Have you ever heard the story about the boy who cried wolf?

Little Jimmy Acosta: 5 ft 7 inches, little man syndrome, divorced, probably cheated on his wife, pink panties constantly in a wad because he can’t bully Trump nor the Trump spokespeople.

““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...”

Patton said it better:

“Now, there’s one thing that you men will be able to say when you get back home. And you may thank God for it. Thirty years from now when you’re sitting around your fireside with your grandson on your knee, and he asks you: “What did you do in the great main stream media? You won’t have to say, “Well, I shoveled shit for CCN.”

“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.”

Tapper is trying to justify the lies and propaganda of his employers by claiming that their target is devoid of truth and decency. In other words, the end justifies the means.

The title of O'Keefe's expose', "American Pravda," was well chosen.

I disregard any MSM story about Russia "influencing" the election as fake news until somebody can tell me:

1. Exactly what electronic device or devices did the Russians hack into?

2. What precisely did the Russians do in that device?

3. How did this affect the election, if at all?

4. What did the Trump campaign have to do with this if anything?
