CNN's Chris Cillizza might have outdone himself over the past weekend. Although he has long had a reputation for extreme silliness, his analysis about President Donald Trump identifying what are obviously riots as "riots" rather than "protests" are a sign of "desperation," according to Cillizza.
What made Cillizza's observation particularly absurd was that the picture at the top of his weekend article (which was updated early Monday morning) showed a large burning building with a couple of armed law enforcement officers in riot gear in the foreground.
However, the true icing on the cake of Cillizza's silliness is that he not only tweeted his laughable observation but actually included that same picture from the article that completely undercut himself as you can see below. As a result, Cillizza set himself up for the Mother of All Mockery on Twitter.

CNN’s labeling of riots as “protests” is a sign of desperation.
We know riots when we see them.
CNN LIES
Much of the media is refusing DNC pleas to dial it back. Excellent!
Exactly.
The media can deny and relabel reality, but people won’t deny their own ears and eyes.
The still deny reality even after their building in Atlanta was attacked. Wonder what the CNN types will say after one of them is mugged or murdered?
Umm...
I'm anxiously awaiting to find out.
At this point, it is ridiculous to even use the term “protest”. They aren’t protesting anything and never were. The damage the rioters have caused exceeds what they were allegedly protesting.
I thought the mediots had pivoted to, “Well, there’s violence, but it’s Trump’s fault.” So if there’s no violence, then how can they blame the President for violence? Sounds like Jizzilla didn’t get the memo or the mockingbirds are getting sloppy.
Whoever the Dr. Evil is behind all this has clearly assembled the the most useful of useful idiots. Say anything outlandish with a straight face. Demonstrate complete disregard for facts. Show absolutely no knowledge of the subject being reported. In fact, show a very, very low IQ. All this and become a well paid national newsperson for the MSM.
And the ROI - people actually buy this crap. Wow...
I believe that the media/dems calling riots protests is a real sign of desparation.
When the offices if CNN are trashed-—they can rethink their choice of descriptive words.
Gee, I Was thinking that labeling “riots” as “peaceful protests” was the sign of desperation.
ROFLOL As usual, the Democrats are accusing the Republicans of doing what the Democrats themselves are doing.
The left is labeling genuine RIOTS as “peaceful protests”.
The people know the difference, Chris.
Please, don’t believe your lying eyes.
It’s a right-wing conspiracy.
Good shoot Kyle.
