CNN's Jim Acosta, Anderson Cooper called out for partisan commentary after Trump's Rose Garden remarks: 'Sad resistance performance art'
Fox News ^ | July 15, 2020 | Brian Flood

CNN appeared particularly peeved that President Trump veered off-script Tuesday by attacking presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden in the Rose Garden, unleashing the liberal network’s reporters and anchors to criticize and offer partisan opinions of the event.

Conservative communications strategist Chris Barron said CNN has dropped journalism for “sad resistance performance art” since Trump took office, and Tuesday was simply the latest example.

“CNN is a collection of the least self-aware people on the planet. Their 24/7 rants about Trump speak more about themselves than they do about the President,” Barron told Fox News. “CNN, long ago, dropped any pretense of being an actual news organization, opting instead for some sad resistance performance art.”

CNN has long been criticized for maintaining that it is a down-the-middle, nonpartisan news organization despite pushing content that proves otherwise.

When Trump’s remarks concluded, CNN’s chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta took to Twitter with his personal opinion of the moment, saying the president “soiled” the Rose Garden by turning his attention to Biden rather than focusing on announcing a pro-Hong Kong executive order.

“Trump soiled the WH Rose Garden with that performance. Presidents do not use the Rose Garden in that kind of naked political fashion. That was not a press conference, as the WH described it. It was a campaign rally disguised as a press conference. It was a bait and switch,” Acosta wrote.

Actor James Woods mocked the tweet, responding, "Now do journalism."

Anderson Cooper, who is billed as a news anchor and has even moderated presidential debates, took a jab at Trump’s "tan" when offering his opinion on the Rose Garden remarks.

I was thinking Trump was trying to bore them to death so that slowly they’d all get up and walk out. He could do that ... drone on for hours in the hot sun and clear the audience.

Trump wil win despite every news network in the county being critical of him, his family and his presidency. For Trump and Americans, that means victory. For the news networks, it means irrelevancy or elimination during the second term.

so far the Rose Garden speech has over 1 MILLION views on youtube. Over the next day or two the number of views will likely reach 2 MILLION or more. No Biden event comes close to the views of any of Trump’s events.

They should just come out into the open as gay lovers. They certainly aren’t news reporters.

You know, if CNN and MSNBC don’t want to cover Trump’s rallies then I don’t blame them. But don’t then turn around and broadcast every Biden talk start to finish. If you’re not covering one then don’t cover the other.

Yep, they’re supposed to be a news source and if they cover one party then cover all parties or none at all.

Trump (or better yet Kayleigh) should ask Anderson why he was on the Lolita Express to Epstein’s Island.

I accidentally had on SEE-B.S. during the President’s remarks and the vile Norah O’Donnell interrupted it deliberately, cutting both the video and audio feed, and started attacking him with this look of pure disgust and contempt on her bitch face. Couldn’t have their beloved pedophile Saint Plugs and his Stalinazi agenda being exposed by the President.

Think they’d have dared interrupt the Jug-Eared Jackass ?

Damn. Sorry I missed that.
