CNN: Sarah Sanders just made a hugely offensive allegation against the media

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders isn't a big fan of the media.

Which is, of course, her right.

The relationship between any White House and any press corps tasked with covering that White House is almost always fraught and fractious.

But, on Monday, Sanders made an accusation that went way, way beyond the pale of the usual give and take between White House and press corps. Here's what she said:

"There's a very big difference between making honest mistakes and purposefully misleading the American people. Something that happens regularly. You can't say -- I'm not done. You can't say that it's an honest mistake when you are purposely putting out information that you know to be false or when you're taking information that hasn't been validated, that hasn't been offered any credibility and that has been continually denied by a number of people including people with direct knowledge of an incident. This is something that -- I'm speaking about the number of reports that have taken place over the last couple of weeks. I'm simply stating that there should be a certain level of responsibility in that process."

Yes, there is a big difference between honest mistakes and purposely misleading people by reporting information that you know to be false. But, there's absolutely zero evidence -- cited by Sanders or anyone else in the Trump administration -- that any reporter covering the Trump White House has published something they knew to be false. Not any.

FU, CNN clown.

You are all liars. There are no insults in the English language that are not too mild for you scumbags.

No matter what anybody says about you, you are worse than that.

CNN: "Sarah Sanders just made a hugely offensive appropriate allegation against the media"

I was hoping for a Milo-Ann Coulter tag team for press secretary, but Sarah Sanders is doing just fine.

“Don’t mince words, Bones—tell me what you really think.”
And so I would have as well, to the point of being pelted with cell phones, shoes, and profanity...from those who are already feeling Hell’s flames licking around their feet.

Well then it was at the very least published with complete disregard to whether or not it was true simply because it was negative about Trump - which it would be difficult to argue as to how that is any more honest than the former.

The media even lie about President Trump feeding fish:

The media even lie about President Trump feeding fish

If CNN ever reports that the sun sets in the west, we are in real trouble.

[This I Wonder32460]

Me too. I hope and pray that Sarah Sanders has the stamina it takes to keep going on in this job. Sean Spicer started out strong, yet one person can only take the blows inflicted by non-stop aggressive nitpicking media for so long. It would be good to swap out the press secretary every few months. Have more then one who not only work together, but cheer each other on.

[Lopeover]

I am so grateful for the people in President Trump’s Administration! We need people who will call out the cheating, lying, scheming opposition media of the Communist Party.

I much prefer IMPALEMENT.
Vlad Tepes had the right idea.

[5th MEB]

I am not particularly politically correct so I would just love to hear Sarah tell some of those dimwits to just “SHUT THE HELL UP, YOU LYING ASSHOLE, IF YOU OPEN YOUR BLOWHOLE AGAIN, YOU, AND YOUR LYING NETWORK ARE BANNED FOR LIFE”.

[Kudsman]

Good for Sarah. Bulldoze the refuge. Out with the old.....

[Kalamata]

Just for fun, they should substitute Diamond & Silk, or perhaps Judge Jeanine one day and let them have at it.

[knighthawk]

CNN is no media, CNN is fake news outlet.

Chris Cillizza: IF these were ‘honest mistakes’ they would happen to Republicans and Democrats.

Kind of like the store that makes ‘mistakes’ at the checkout - but ALL the ‘mistakes’ are in the store’s favor.

In short, they would be stealing. Same with CNN - they NEVER make major ‘mistakes’ that hurt Democrats.

CNN’s a bunch of liars...

[mitch5501]

Hugely offensive to who?

At least now the media will have some sort of case when they inevitably report some sort of sexual misconduct by Ms Sanders.

'cause she royally screwed them.

[trebb]

Too funny - telling the truth is an unconscionable and “hugely offensive” act now.....

[Maverick68]

Dear Media: We hated and distrusted you LOOOOOOOOOOOONG before the team of Wonder Woman and Superman (Trump & Sanders) came along.
We complained to you that you were dishonest, but you looked at us as if we were nothing, then ignored our complaints.
Lo and behold, President Trump comes along, simply giving voice to our already written songs and proceeds to sing SO LOUDLY that you idiots can’t ignore the lyrics.
Your zhitty reputations are nothing new, but your sudden inability to ignore the criticism is new.

[SandwicheGuy]

Nice shot!
