Media Horrified After Trump Tweets Video Body-Slamming CNN
The Daily Caller ^ | 07/02/17 | Peter Hasson

Posted on 07/02/2017 7:49:16 AM PDT by Enlightened1

Journalists reacted in horror Sunday morning after President Trump tweeted a fake video that showed him body-slamming “fraud news” CNN in a fake wrestling match.

While many of the president’s supporters online reacted to the video with humor, the consensus among journalists seemed to be that Trump was inciting violence against the media.

The Washington Post headlined its news coverage of the tweet, “Trump appears to promote violence against CNN with tweet.” WaPo reporter David Nakamura wrote: “A day after defending his use of social media as befitting a ‘modern day’ president, President Trump appeared to promote violence against CNN in a tweet.”

ABC News’ chief political analyst Matthew Down claimed Trump is “advocating violence against media” and demanded Republican leaders “put country over party” in response to the fake video of fake wrestling.

“Around the world, journalists are murdered with impunity on a regular basis,” Poynter managing editor Ben Mullin gravely stated. “This isn’t funny.”

CNN commentator Ana Navarro called the tweet “an incitement to violence” in an appearance on ABC News. “He is going to get somebody killed in the media,” she claimed.

Fighting fraud with parody.

Whose news is the most fake? It's a worthy debate, I'm sure, at least one that the LSM is willing to wrestle in the mud to win.

I’m fine with Trumps use of Twitter so long as his agenda is moving:

Build the Wall
Full repeal of Obamacare
Cut taxes
Cut regulations
Rebuild the Military
MAGA

CNN is a joke. MSNBC is more dangerous. Glad to see him trash Mourning Jo.

Isn't promoting violence against a trademark some sort of crime or something?

Next thing you know, folks will be using the CNN trademark for dartboards and target practice.

Of course this is a clever diversion to get the MSM wrapped around their own axel.
Lets see what the President accomplishes while the media goes into its frenzy...

* Trump sends final warning to North Korea

* Trump revives nation space council

* Trump and South Korean President make joint statement

* New Trump interview on Fox and Friends

* Trump Rally in Cedar Rapids, Iowa

* Trump and Republicans huddle on Health Care issues.

That is just a brief synopsis of what he is doing, and the MSM is running around like a chicken with its head cut off over NOTHING BURGER news...Great Work Trump!!!

But, but, but the media hate speech had NOTHING to do with shooting a congressman at a baseball field.

This is how you know that the silly stories about his advisors begging him to stop using Twitter are complete B.S. ...

There's no way in hell Trump himself modified that video, so clearly someone had to do it for him.

LOL.

Of course this was a body double with Vince McMahon, but very cleverly done...

It’s both shocking and incredibly amusing.
As someone on this site just implied, ‘What? a New York theater group can ‘metaphorically’ kill the POTUS and that’s okay because its art, or something. Now the President has a little fun turning the tables, and the Sky is Falling again? Not buying it. Open wide, Media, here’s a taste of your own medicine!
