CNN Snarks at Melania's Kenya Visit: 'African Queen--Stylist Should be Very Proud'
newsbusters.org ^ | 10/5/2018 | Mark Finkelstein

Can you imagine CNN crediting Michelle Obama's stylist for her look, rather than the First Lady's own innate fashion sense? Unthinkable!

But in a New Day report on Melania Trump's visit to a game park in Kenya, CNN international correspondent Farai Sevenzo snarked:

"The elephants were very happy to see her feeding them with a bottle. She was dressed, really, in the classic kind of Out of Africa by Sydney Pollack way, or even John Huston's, The African Queen: the jodhpurs, the boots. The color was all there. And the stylist should be very proud of himself."

At the end of his report, Sevenzo said: "tonight, she'll be heading off to the National Gallery to get a bit of culture."

Perhaps a harmless remark, that last one. But again, can you imagine CNN suggesting that Michelle Obama was going to "get" a bit of culture?

Not only is it nice to actually have:

1) An American President once again, who cares about America first,

2) It’s also nice to actually have a feminine woman as First Lady, again.

Just sayin’ - two things we didn’t have the previous 8 years.

For CNN, making a positive remark about Melania’s ‘Stylist’ is about as positive as they’re going to get at this time.
Let’s count our blessings that they haven’t said something vulgar or deliberately rude.

Oh, they are sitting quietly in front of the cameras NOT saying a word? That’s about the only way they could avoid saying anything vulgar or rude. ;-)

What did anyone expect from cnn? They would never give her or Donald credit for anything.

Ha! Not “harmless”. 100% snarky.

Harmless? certainly not. Stupid, disrespectful, despicable, cowardly, yes.
