Whining CNN Delivers ‘Speech’ on Trump’s ‘Bad’ Treatment of Press
MRC Newsbusters ^ | 06/20/2017 | Scott Whitlock

The journalists on CNN prove daily that they are members of the opposition party when it comes to the President. Inside Politics host John King on Tuesday delivered a whining “speech” about Donald Trump’s “bad” treatment of journalists. Specifically complaining about press access, King huffed, “There's a bigger issue about White House transparency and secrecy.”

King spent time demanding televised press briefings, chiding, “I'm a TV person, so we want the camera in the room.” Getting worked up, the journalist snapped, “But it is bad. It is bad when an administration starts to retreat from a public disclosure and public discourse.”

Admitting that he’d gone from standard mid-day reporting to advocacy, King concluded, “That’s my speech.”

I watched CNN last night and saw that segment.

I liked the part where CNN said they (taxpayers) are paying the administration and demand they be updated (by CNN of course).

The amazing thing to me last night on the coverage of the Special Election was this, that Osoff was shown to be IN THE LEAD continually until the race was called by CNN for Handel. ??? Whaaaa? It was absolutely surreal, seeing numbers from online vote tallies and seeing the CNN vote tallies which showed Osoff leading till the end.

But the ringer for me was their advertisement for themselves, showing critical coverage of Trump and then ending the advertisement with a screen size message, I think it said "CNN - Our mission has never been more clear". True, so true after a night of watching CNN.

This from last night after Karen Handel's special election runoff defeat of Jon Ossoff in the GA 6th Congressional District:

Play with the "sad trombone" audio clip for full effect.

How about this Fox Fruit Pervert Drama Queen News Director:
U.S. F-18 shoots down Russian fighter jet in Syria.

Fifteen minutes later, White female Fox news reporter: U.S. F-18 shoots down Syrian fighter jet (less incendiary and provocative.)

John King, for a smart guy you act dumb. You slept with that creepy feminist anorexic lady for years when you could have had someone actually nice and sweet and real. And now you display your bad judgment again by not seeing that it is the journalists who left journalism, making the subjects of your takedowns have a need to keep your antagonism away.

It was fun! That is my favorite moment of election night, and it is seared, seared in my memory like John Kerry sailing up the river into Cambodia.

When King had to admonish the wiggling little Wolf, saying in front of his map of PA, “WOLF. THERE ARE NO MORE VOTES.” I thought he was going to have to start shaking Wolfie’s shoulders or slapping his face.

AFTERMATH: funniest story yet.

Delusional Dems ran Ossoff b/c he’ s a “millennial type.”

But Dem canvassers found that Georgia millenials lived w/ their parents.....

The Repub parents went ballistic when Dems attempted to reach their kids.....daring to suggest the kids didn’t think like them.

Cops were sometimes called on Dem canvassers.

ROTFLOL.

Yes, Liz, Rush was talking about that today.

Young people are idealistic and haven’t yet learned how the world actually works.

I have a notion that there needs to be a summer “Freedom Camp”, a summer camp you can go where besides having fun and be in nature, they also teach you the law of the human jungle.

Some innovative training can be done to simulate a communist or socialist society to show youngster how it doesn’t work. You can teach this. They need to do their own practical experiment with other kids to discover this.

I think you could also bring in a fake Lenin (in costume) or and have him debate an Abraham Lincoln. And the students could interact with them.

What do you others think of this kind of wacky idea?

Maybe somebody is already doing this...

I think you think that these young people know how to read more than 140 characters and look someone in the eye while talking or listening, saying thank you or your welcome...

What’s out there now is what the 60’s hippies raised, no manners, no respect and only violence...

CNN is corrupt, fake news. They can pound salt, they don’t even deserve to be at press briefings, they are activists, not journalists.

Inspite of their wet dreams that Trump would suffer a severe beating in Georgia, their side lost big time?

In this day and age, nothing is wacky. We (meaning WTP) who still believe in the goodness of GOD, in order to BE a Nation, a Republic, must have rules of law, morals, and pride. Clay Christensen of First Liberty said it all in this clip Clay Christensen: why RELIGION is a MUST for democracy

The spiral downward has increased in speed with the legalization of abortion. The courts have opened our doors to the mess seen in Hades. This thrills the libs to no end and they truly believe they are winning.
