On Wednesday’s edition of New Day, hosts Alisyn Camerota and John Berman spent a large amount of the program analyzing the ongoing NATO summit. Some of the coverage descended into silliness and absurdity, including two moments when Berman carefully dissected Chief of Staff John Kelly’s hydration habits.
In the first hour, Berman brought up Kelly’s demeanor in a clip where President Trump was criticizing Germany for its energy dependence on Russia. In the clip, Kelly takes a sip of water, adjusts himself in is seat, and scratches his ear. According to Berman and CNN Senior Political Analyst, John Avlon, this was a sign of extreme discomfort with the situation:
BERMAN: So you see, John Kelly There, you see Mike Pompeo both siting their stoically, Kate Bailey Hutchinson, I’m not sure they’re down with this whole thing.
JOHN AVLON: Stoically? Yeah I mean look, John Kelly was one shot away from a spit take and a face palm.
Berman found this clip so compelling, he brought it up again during the second hour. Berman echoed his analysis from the first hour with Camerota, joking that Kelly was drinking vodka:
BERMAN: I want you to look at their faces, and look at how many drinks of water --
ALISYN CAMEROTA: That’s vodka.
BERMAN: -- the Chief of Staff needs --
CAMEROTA: That’s vodka.
BERMAN: -- while the President is talking about this.
TRUMP: you tell me if that's appropriate, because I think it's not. And I think it's a very bad thing for NATO.
BERMAN: You see, John Kelly there you know, shrugging --
CAMEROTA: I like a good body language segment.
BERMAN: Looked away he’s like “Oh boy here we go again.” You know, you get the sense that they were not comfortable with the president's views on this alliance.
Berman clearly demonstrated that his eagerness to find anything negative to say about the Trump administration extends to things as small as John Kelly having the gall to take a sip of water during breakfast. The silliness of this coverage is best suited for tabloid papers not “the most trusted name in news.”
Didn’t the media criticize Marco Rubio for drinking water during a speech?
And I seem to remember the media criticizing a Republican with “cotton mouth” who foolishly failed to drink water during a speech, and ended up sounding funny.
The f*ckfaces obsessed over Trump holding a glass of water with TWO hands! Oh, the criminality! May they all burn in hell.
He didn’t just sip water, he scratched his ear too. You know who else sipped water and scratched his ear? Adolf Hitler, that’s who!
Yeah, but Hillary can friggin’ PASS OUT being carried to her car, and it is nothing to wonder about for the MSM.
#QAnon: “Watch the water.” KEK
“In the clip, Kelly takes a sip of water, adjusts himself in is seat, and scratches his ear.”
Wait, I think Kelly was calling for bunt.
That wasn’t water, that was salty NATO tears.
Just imagine if he had coughed...............

It was a dog whistle to the alt-right.
This is the MSM’s plight since the leaks were plugged, and many “leaks” they’ve still been getting are disinformation from Team Trump. They don’t know anything more than we do.
These people are as dumb as a box of hammers................
If so, then the Alt-Left answered..............
What if Kelly scratched his crotch or butt. What would that mean?
Would that mean "extreme discomfort" with the situation? If he took a sip of wine or beer what would be the deep meaning of that?
(CNN: Your news show is light years into stupidity.)
So Camerota & Co. think that the E.U. so-called “allies” are paying their fair share to NATO?
Another example of the corrupt media making up facts and inserting their bias.
