steve4102 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Everyone's favorite reporter, CNN White House Correspondent Jim Acosta, filled in for Wolf Blitzer on Wednesday. During the program, Acosta went into detail about why he thought President Donald Trump violated ethics and campaign laws during his trip to Iraq to visit American troops. Troops lined up to meet the president and some of them had Make America Great Again hats and flags, which the president signed for them. And now, CNN has an issue with it, as evidenced by their constant coverage and the remarks made by their reporters and contributors. “It is, in fact, a campaign slogan, that is a campaign item, and it’s completely inappropriate for the troops to do this,” former Obama administration official and retired Rear Admiral John Kirby said. “Not supposed to do this. And I’m sure their boss is seeing that. They’re not going to be happy about it.” Some are even accusing Trump of bringing campaign gear to the meeting, which was evident by Acosta's baiting question. “Is that unusual, to see the President doing that on base? Does this run the risk of the President, you know, facing some accusations that he's turning some of this into a campaign stop? What do you think,” Acosta asked CNN Pentagon correspondent Barbara Starr. “The pool reporters traveling said that the troops brought the hats with them, including one hat that said ‘Trump 2020. We will have to see if that actually proves to be the case. The question is, if they brought them or if the President brought them: What commander allowed that to really happen?” Starr asked. “Troops are not supposed to be involved in political activities. The U.S. military is not a political force.” And CNN wonders why more than half of America deems them fake news? https://townhall.com/tipsheet/bethbaumann/2018/12/27/oh-brother-cnn-believes-trump-violated-ethics-campaign-laws-during-visit-to-ir-n2538102?utm_source=thdaily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl&newsletterad=12/27/2018&bcid=f3b32cb9739f7ac823837210e9d3eaf4&recip=27116010 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipedreams Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Social medial going after CNN. "CNN was slammed for what many -- including White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders -- called overwhelmingly negative coverage of President Trump’s visit to the troops overseas.

PNWguy Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 One of the conservative talk show hosts yesterday opined that because the trip was so overwhelmingly appropriate, positive, patriotic, and the right thing to do, that the liberal media would find something to turn it into a negative for Trump. He was correct. The media are nothing but propagandistas for the leftists and are enemies of the country and the constitution. Not sure how you can control and punish a free press whose only objective is to destroy your country. I don't think the founding fathers could have possibly anticipated such an evil press and such a lazy and apathetic citizenry. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortyofforty Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Barack Obama used the Justice Department and several intelligence agencies to attempt to throw a presidential election to the candidate from his own party, and this is what CNN is worried about.

The only thing that they do believe is that Trump must be stopped at all costs. Any lie they can fabricate or report is justified if it moves them closer to that goal.

Basically, Gobbels whole attitude. And he was such a true believer that he murdered his own children. Just because it is stupid, doesn’t mean people can’t be true believers. And that is how true believers act. Hawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janice6 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I haven't seen any CNN stories lauding Hillary for visiting the troops, or wishing a merry Christmas to children. Oh, that's right.

They rarely produce anything interesting. Try the Wall Street Journal. They actually employ journalists who can wright and edit. The Washington Post slumped after the Graham were no longer editors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dric902 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 (edited) Don’t sign hats, give out some coins. Signing hats is a photo op challenge coins are what the troops want. Yes, Trump redisigned it to show his name on the front and MAGA. But still Clockwise from left, the coins for Vice President Mike Pence, Vice President Joe Biden, President Barack Obama and President Trump. .
