CNN's Berman Calls Killing of Soleimani 'Murder'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 01/03/2020 7:34:49 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Did CNN just accuse President Trump of "murder?" On this morning's New Day, co-host John Berman called the killing of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani "murder," before adding, "assassination." Given that the strike on Soleimani was reportedly ordered by President Trump, Berman's choice of language would seem tantamount to accusing President Trump of a capital crime.

Here’s the exact quote. Talking about the last impeachment and Bill Clinton’s 1998 air strikes against Iraq, Berman said of last night’s attack: “Not to diminish the importance of the air strikes in Iraq at the time, but that’s nothing compared to the murder, the assassination of General Soleimani. And this comes during the Senate impeachment trial.”

George Soros and his backers (nations and groups hostile to The United States) must be amazed at how cheap they can buy the whores at CNN.

These idiots probably believe what they say. Either that ot that dirtbag head of CNN, Zucker, has them pretty well cowed into promoting his personal hatred for Trump.

Recall that Barack Obama took out hundreds of terrorists with drone strikes during his 8-years in office. During all that time, neither Schumer, nor Pelosi, nor any other Democrat Stalinist or their genuflecting media magpies uttered a word of protest...

BINGO!

CNN accuses America of the terrorism
WHICH THEY HAVE BEEN SUPPORTING NONSTOP.

To them, terrorists are “fighters”, and
“good boys”.

They have gone beyond bias, they have become enemy propagandists.

Perhaps they’d been happier if one of his terrorist groups had blown up the CNN building in Atlanta??

A thread was just pulled with the exclamatory headline 'Next!!!' , which I took to be an invitation to suggestions   :-)
Lest a perfectly good reply go to waste, allow me to paste it herewith:

A couple well placed Hellfires based on impeccable intel to wipe out the Iranian hierarchy sounds good to this old swivel chair general.

Did everyone notice the thread recently posted that Iraqis are dancing in the streets after last night's little party ?

It's an irrefutable counter to our internal enemy media's scurrilous bedwetting this morning.

If I were king, all CNN properties would immediately be put to the torch and its traitor employees exiled to Somalia.

These people are so smitten with their Trump derangement syndrome, that they are willing to embrace America’s enemies rather than embrace Trump... It’s sickening!

I don’t recall any of us criticizing the killing of Bin Laden, because Obama was in the White House.

I will say this.

Trump won’t give this guy a proper Islamic burial, like Obama gave Bin Laden.
