Many Americans suspected, based on incessant media reports, that Trump colluded with Russia. When the evidence showed otherwise, Trump asked the intelligence chiefs to go public with this revelation. Trump felt it was important Americans didn’t think their President was a Russian spy. Somehow CNN twisted this into something sinister. Their allegation is Trump ordered the intelligence chiefs to do something illegal or moral.
And when the intelligence chiefs testified they didn’t feel “ordered to intervene,” CNN analysts overrode what the witnesses said with their own opinions. Opinions based on… well nothing.
Another low for CNN occurred this past week. Many of the critics of CNN caught Jim Acosta in a big screw up. He tweeted that Trump, who went to visit Rep. Scalise in the hospital, never got to see him in his hospital room. This was later corrected by Acosta and he admitted Trump did get to see him. But the lie is not the worst part:
How sick is Jim Acosta? Did he try to make the President look bad by pointing out that Trump did not get in to Scalise’s hospital room? Scalise was fighting for his life after being shot, Trump went to see him and somehow Acosta finds a negative angle to a hospital visit. Who reports this as news? The fact that it was later shown as untrue overshadows how diseased CNN has become?
