Sarah Sanders Gets Into It With CNN Over Fake News Question: ‘I’m Not Finished!’
The Daily Caller ^ | December 12, 2017 | Benny Johnson

(Video at Link) The media world is reeling from a series of high profile retractions and corrections from some of the biggest names in broadcast and print. ABC, CNN and The Washington Post have all been accused of publishing ‘fake news’ by the White House over the last week. All stories have resulted in corrections, retractions or deletions.

When asked about the series of journalistic errors and if they are different from organized disinformation, Sanders said:

Acosta has an IQ of room temperature. He’s an idiot.

freaking daily caller has become pop up ad hell.

Why can't they just use static ads, which seem to work for print media? Why does every ad have to jump up and smack you in the face?

I love her measured, firm tone as if she’s disciplining three-year-olds.

During an appearance on The View she inferred that having three young children had prepared her for dealing with the press.

I loved it how she held up a single finger to the second interrupting reporter while dealing with Acosta, and without looking at him (the 2nd reporter), simply said, "I'm not finished".

Use the Brave browser. Better than Chrome or Edge when it comes to annoying pop-ups.

Even better than Netscape?? ;^)

Thanks for providing the transcript. This press secretary is fantastic. WOW!!! There were other gems in the conference, for example....

Q Sarah, if I may though, I was going to ask a question about something else.

MS. SANDERS: Well, you used it on something else.

Q — can you just say, once and for all, whether these accusations —

MS. SANDERS: Jim, I’m going to say, once and for all, that I’m moving on to Jim Stinson, and I’m not taking another question from you at this point.

” You cannot say that it is an honest mistake when you are purposely putting out information that you know to be false or when you’re taking information that has not been validated, hasn’t been offered with any credibility and continually denied by a number of people including people with direct knowledge of an instance”

Slap!, biff!, sock, sock, sock!

Imagine! THis from the White House press secretary. About time

Once again Acosta is shown to be a fool, an ass

“A number of outlets have had to retract and change and rewrite.........”

Does ANYONE think those are really “errors”? the Clinton’s were masters at throwing out false information, hoping once said, it would become “true”. It’s called “the power of suggestion” and once said, most people believe it to be true. They never bother to check back to see if there was/is a retraction. Very effective!

Make news outlets publish their retractions on the front cover of the paper. Something to the effect of, “We F*%ked Up Again!”

kjam22 @16: "I want her to pull someone’s press pass during these arguments....... in front of everybody. Have the person marched out by security. Accosta seems like a likely candidate."

Acosta and some other media scum need to be tasered and dragged out by their heels.

Typically they hide those retractions in very small type size, on the lower, inside fold edge on page 9, hoping you will NEVER find it. Learned that trick way back in journalism class many moons ago.

Thanks for posting the link to the transcript. Kind of depressing. Lots of asinine, agenda-driven questions about transgenders in the military and these claims of sexual misconduct by Trump.

She also moved on quickly from April “PieGate” Ryan, who usually gets several questions because she’s entitled.

Wonderful! She understands this about war and not playing footsie with the smarmy creeps.

Rip off their heads and spit down their necks!

Too bad she’s not our AG or FBI Director. Just can’t understand why the President picked either of these worthless turds.

Exactly!!

She should NEVER take a question from Acosta or CNN. Period. Never. Ever. Done. Finished. The end.

Mr. Acosta you are out of order and have repeatedly violated the agreed rules of conduct. I have been more than patient with you. If you do it just one more time I can and will have you removed by White House Security and your press pass revoked. Your choice. Now let’s move on and take some more questions from folks who know how to behave.

It works fine for me and I don’t have any ad blockers running.
