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

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.

President Trump has the military. The deep state is still attempting a coup. They were reduced to a soft coup with the media. President Trump is isolating and taking out the coup leaders.

Liberate America from the Occupation Media!

Many in the media CONSTANTLY act and speak as if - they think - they are making a verbal “take down” of Trump, and that is the reaction their sheeple followers believe they are hearing.

When Trump visually represents the reverse, their not-so-innocent hypocrisy jumps out in reactionary defensiveness.

The media is learning that Trump is not the take-a-beating-every-day-and-say-nothing-every-day GWBush.

Didn’t Bill Clinton change the rules of engagement in the Serbian war when he directed the military to target the offices of media who were playing partisan politics? Maybe CNN should be glad Trump only uses social media rather than hellfire missiles. They ought to be VERY glad I’m not President!

Sometimes I wonder if Trump is giving the media the old bait-and-switch, keeping them juiced up about his Tweets, as he gets things done behind the scenes...
