CNN's Avlon: Don't Give Trump 'Medal' for Not 'Screwing Up' H.W. Passing
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 12/06/2018 9:33:35 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

God rest the soul of George H.W. Bush. But God forbid that President Trump should receive credit for according H.W. all possible honors and conducting himself with grace during the funeral service.

That latter, ungracious, thought was on John Avlon's mind this morning. The CNN commentator, on New Day, reacted to a statement by former Bush 43 aide Scott Jennings, praising President Trump's handling of the passing of H.W.

Sneered Avlon:

"I don't think you want to give out too many medals for not screwing up a presidential funeral. The President was on best behavior this week, but that's a fairly low bar."

Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

CNN can’t bear to give Pres. Trump credit for his handling of passing of George H.W.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

It's like mentioning Chris Mathews:

By posting CNN's nonsense here, we triple their audience.

Gaydar needle just broke in two over the barrier pin at the right of the gauge.

Time to buy a new gauge.

The President was on best behavior this week, but that's a fairly low bar.

Unlike CNN, who's snarky behavior might have been worse than normal, and that's a fairly HIGH bar.

Did you see the Morning Joe crew this morning try to tie Trump to Epstein based on how they both lived in the same area?

The Miami reporter named off a bunch of democrats who flew to Orgy Island - Clinton and his Secret Service entourage included ... and the Morning Joe crew didn't want to hear any of it... they wanted Trump and only Trump.

It was the most disgusting and obvious example of press hatred I've ever seen.

Today in the online version of the Fargo(ND) Forum there was a lengthy article about President Trump at the funeral. He was hated by everyone there, didn’t sing along with hymns, at one point he even crossed his arms.

And of course the article came from ....the Washington Compost.

I'm so glad he wasn't caught doing something horrible like lauging and then, upon seeing cameras, begin some fake crying. That would be truly vulgar and crass.
