MSNBC, CNN Forced To Eat Crow After Learning Trump Pressed Putin On Election Meddling
dailycaller ^ | AMBER ATHEY

Posted on 07/07/2017 3:32:40 PM PDT by davikkm

President Trump forced MSNBC and CNN to eat crow after he addressed Russian election meddling during his first sit-down meeting with Russian president Vladimir Putin.

A number of anchors and pundits on the two media outlets assumed that Trump wouldn’t raise the interference issue due to his somewhat cozy relationship with Putin. Analysts operated under the speculative assumption all day Friday.

“Some early reports that sound like he doesn’t intend to [bring up meddling],” CNN’s Susan Hennessey guessed. “The idea that at the same moment or early before he would choose to, once again, raise these issues on his Twitter feed really just puts sort of the starkness and sort of bizarreness of his to not bring this up to President Putin.”

“[Trump’s Podesta tweets] are just another indicator that of the fact that he was probably never going to press [interference] too hard in this meeting,” a CNN guest opined.

“What should be happening in a normal world is Donald Trump should go in there saying, ‘we know you’ve been meddling in the election, we’re going to continue to squeeze you.” said MSNBC’s Ali Velshi.

The Lying Leftist media is made even worse by the stupid women that populate it.

I wouldn’t have done it because you didn’t vote for me and I don’t answer to you.

They can take their paranoiac whining and shove it.

What relationship? They just met today.

....Does the mainstream media ever get anything right....

Crappy News Network’s Golden boy, Jim Acosta, blasting DJT again, said again on July 6th that 17 intelligence agencies interfered with the election, a thoroughly debunked number.

As for election meddling, its an accusation; no proof has been offered in the past six months showing Russia meddled beyond a shadow of a doubt.

You can’t convict someone on the basis of an accusation. Its an extraordinary claim.

As the Carl Sagan noted, “extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.”

We need to decide whether we want Russia as a strategic partner or to treat it as an adversary. We can’t have it both ways.

". . . drink without a sippy cup ?"

Come on, they'd have never been hired for the job they're in if they could show up the corporate news execs by drinking without a sippy cup.

So, what did Donald say. That he knew the subject was in the air, but that as far as he knew he wasn’t concerned about such a thing because the best investigation hadn’t ever turned up a sign of it. But he could say something else about the people in Chicago that are such dedicated voters that they do it from Hades.

These talking heads from MSM are rank amateurs. Intellectual neophytes.

Amber, I’ll wager that NOT ONE person on MSNBC ate, or even sniffed, any crow. Literally or figuratively.

They don’t do that over there.

They’re really not all that sharp at “journalism” are they? I guess that’s what happens when the truth has to take a backseat to their slander operation on Trump.

Tie their own shoes? They can’t remember that the socks go on before the shoes, not after.

All of this has nothing to do with Russia.

The real story is the refusal of the Democratic Party and its captive media to acknowledge Trump won the election fair and square.

They’ve convinced themselves the Russians stole the election for him. They’re out of touch with reality.

Then again, people chasing conspiracy theories are.

They’re doxing Trump, complaining now he didn’t nail Putin’s hide to the wall.

If he had, they would be complaining he’s the beneficiary of a stolen election and he should draw the proper conclusions.

Trump is never going to win over the fake news media.

Had Hillary won it would have been reset time with Russia.

They only raised this hacking charge to damage Trump.

This is about Deep State insider politics.
