Not convinced the media is the opposition party yet? Well, Thursday provided another example as CNN issued a statement disguised as an editorial, blasting President Donald Trump for comments he made about liberal CNN hosts Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon as beneath the dignity of the office of the President."
Reported by Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter, he filled the role of network stenographer:
"CNN says President Trump's latest anti-media attacks "are beneath the dignity of the office of the President."
"In an interview with Time magazine, Trump insulted CNN's Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon and criticized MSNBC's Joe Scarborough. He also called CBS late-night host Stephen Colbert a "no-talent guy."
"CNN responded in a statement Thursday afternoon: "His comments are beneath the dignity of the office of the President."
"The interview reaffirmed Trump's fixation on TV coverage and his fascination with ratings. He repeatedly misconstrued the ratings for specific shows."
Now, what did Trump say that was so upsetting that it triggered an entire network to lash out at the President?
Concerning far-left New Day host Chris Cuomo, Trump slammed him for possessing a level of hatred for him like a chained lunatic and a boiler ready to explode.

Here is this thread.
Hey Trump. Quit watching the “news.” Almost everyone else in America has.
Aw, too bad!
As Sam Spade once said to Joel Cairo:
“You’ll take a slapping, and you will like it!”
But Obama could smirk and joke about Fox News-——and not a peep from CNN!
.
I wish someone would take away his twitter account.
They are "freezing" DJT.
If he doesn't defend himself, they spread layer upon layer of lying fake news.
If he does defend himself, his doing so "is beneath the dignity of his office."
So, they didn’t deny what Trump said. Interesting.
The media believes that a president should not publicly criticize his superiors.
He didn’t tweet it, he said it in a Time interview. And I wish he would have said it in a press conference.
The media by now has become unhinged to the point of what can only be seen as shouting “fire” in a crowded movie theatre. They lie OUTRIGHT. Bias!?!? Bias is so far in the rearview mirror at this point that it is amazing.
It’s a non-denial denial. How Nixonian of CNN.
“His comments are beneath the dignity of the office of the President.”
I kind of understand their reasoning, the Truth has always been beneath their dignity.
I agree that the media is unhinged. Still wish he’d quit tweeting.
But when the Kenyan Kommissar said the Cambridge police “acted stupidly”, that was NOT beneath the dignity of the office at ALL!!! He was just speaking truth to power and saying what needed to be said!/sarcasm;)
Chris Cuomo is as decadent and deceitful as his brother, the cuckold Governor of New York Andrew Cuomo and as vile as his father Mario who was beyond contempt. They are a miserable family and a disgrace to the Italian people.
Why, because he speaks the truth? He's only saying what no other gutless Republican would ever say. I like having a President who isn't afraid to speak his mind.
Yes, mere "bias" has been left far behind us.
Now we're in the rubber-room whackjob zone.
Liberalism is a mental disease, so it make sense on that level.
