Brave CNN talking head admits on Avenatti, ‘‘I feel kind of snookered because I took him seriously’
American Thinker ^ | 2/16/2020 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 02/16/2020 10:54:29 AM PST by RightGeek

So far, only one prominent MSM television pundit has passed the test of basic integrity that the guilty verdict against Michael Avenatti poses for his former fanboys and fangirls on CNN, MSNBC, and the alphabet networks. Jeffrey Toobin, CNN’s legal analyst, admitted to Anderson Cooper, who uttered not a peep of his own personal regret. The entire five and a half minute interview and transcript are embedded below, but go to 3 minutes and 46 seconds to see Toobin admit, “And frankly, you know, I feel kind of snookered, because I took him seriously,’ followed shortly thereafter by Cooper seeming to defend the coverage, stating,

“Well, I mean he was -- I mean, prior to even this Stormy Daniels story, he had won a large judgment in a class action lawsuit, I think it was, in California.”

...

The Washington Free Beacon has a delightful compilation of MSM fools making idiots of themselves with fulsome praise of the felonious fraud:

That Time the Media Dubbed Michael Avenatti ‘Savior of the Republic’ https://t.co/170Egwa5Uq pic.twitter.com/qrQeBFH3ZI— Free Beacon (@FreeBeacon) April 12, 2019

Unfortunately missing from this admirable selection is purported conservative Ana Navarro toying with blasphemy as well as idiocy, comparing Avenatti to the Holy Spirit.

They’re all too stupid to admit they were suckered in by his fake tough-guy speak. But Ana Navarro’s comment is the saddest.

She knows not of what she speaks. To compare THE Holy Spirit with any human in existence, let alone a lying reprobate, just tells me she probably grew up in or around Spanish Pentecostal relatives or church and never really experienced His presence. Something you’d never compare to anything or anyone else on Earth - unless you went full apostate.

The Lame Street Media will take anyone serious as long as they are anti-Trump.

They have a desired narrative... the facts don’t matter as long as the story fits or can be made to for the desired narrative.

The MSM is propaganda... period.

Isn’t there a difference between taking someone seriously and humping their leg?

These people wanted to have his children.


They were all gushing over this clown like he was the next messiah

Nobody researched this character, nobody did any due diligence or look at previous clients or cases he ran, nobody asked him how his law firm could afford a 250K a month rent with an ocean view in California. Nobody. I am sure this guy has more scams then the ones we know about.

Stormy was dancing on a bar in Virgina with bottles being thrown at her while this clown was on TV collecting TV appearance cash. He was screwing her over 24/7. She would have been better off keeping quiet about her 125K then going down this road of returning the money, paying creepy porn lawyer, losing in court and now owes Trump 380K in legal fees over a frivolous case. All for what? What did she gain? I can’t think of anything. She did her “make America Horny again” tour and it was a giant flop, nobody is paying top dollar to see some 37 year old has been take her clothes off. How many copies of her book did she sell? She sold a lot, but all the money went to the Creepy Porn Lawyer cause he stole the money from her.

Micheal Cohen went to jail over some taxi cab confession nonsense, stuff that he was already being investigated for. Heck Mueller made up a charge and that fool plead guilty to it. Cohen didn’t even fight in court attorney/client privilege. Dude was a total wimp and I never understood why Trump hired him for anything. I don’t think the dude had the ambition to get a parking ticket dismissed.

So in the end of the day, what did Stormy get out of this?

I can’t think of anything....

Unlike Pooper, Toobin probably needs a job and is trying to redeem his resume.

Excellent post!

One tiny upgrade since you nearly had 100%
alliteration:

Fulsome “fawning” for the felonious fraud

She got her 30 minutes of fame.

Some people have bought into the notion that fame is the ultimate value.

It is more of a curse, but they do not understand that until too late.

You weren’t snookered. For that to be so implies some level of fairness even-ness and intelligence. No no you weren’t at all snookered.. you’re a dick.

He had such a weasel face and zero morals. Hard to be snookered with all the red flags but that’s CNN for you.

The weasel face, the constant angry, hectoring tone. No one with a lick of sense would have given him credence. Of course that lets out all the nitwits in the media

Toobin, you are really stupid. Just say the evidence was fake and the trial was crooked and unfair and your inspectors are gathering info to show Avenatti was framed. You need to bring out your inner Adam Schiff. But no, you have to go and tell the truth. What a loser!
