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.

Aaaannnddd they’re off! The President rolls out another, brand new shiny object, guaranteed to capture the full attention of the SwampStreamMedia.

Now that they’re occupied and out of the way, President Trump can get some work done.

CNN commentator Ana Navarro called the tweet “an incitement to violence”
= = =

Calling that an incitement to violence is admitting that CNN et.al.’s listeners/target audience are STUPID.

The media are being made fun of ... and they don’t like it.

Tweeter Trump is applying the Alinsky rule about ridicule to them ... and they are furious.

They don’t like being made fun of. It is alright for them to make fun of others, but they don’t like it if someone turns the table. They don’t seem to understand that their months of presenting fake news has made them the butt of the joke.

Perfect description of what the President is doing. He now controls the SwampStreamMedia. They will abandon whatever they’re doing to chase any new shiny object Trump rolls out for them.

Purely brilliant. Once again, President Trump uses his opponent’s own weight against him.

Because journalist are very naive and dense. They think all Professional Wrestling is real and those little side spats are all totally true.

Newt said Trump listens to many in his administratin, obeys none of them.

He’s gonna’ do what he wants to do. The republicans can get used to it and learn a lesson on how to fight.

Despite the fake outrage, the fact is that these people actually love this. Their job is so much easier when they can complain about Trump and come up with fake news instead of doing serious reporting. When Trump is gone in 8 years they will be wishing he were back.

Waiting for the usual RINO crowd to jump in ..

Can't wait to hear windsock Sen. Capito say how she will once again "...have to re-think her support" for Trump.

It’s a little different when the shoe is on the other foot, isn’t it?

Big big difference, CNN, is that you’re nothing, he’s the President.

Shut up and take your lumps, ya humorless punks.

I love how he trolls the media. Damn pearl clutching hypocrites act so offended. It’s so nice to see a president fight back, unlike George Bush.
