Whiny CNN Frets Over Trump Getting Credit for Freed Prisoners, Mentions Mueller

What should be the focus of coverage when three United States prisoners are freed from North Korea? If you’re the journalists at CNN overnight, you make sure to mention the Robert Mueller investigation, Stormy Daniels and to worry about Donald Trump getting credit for these Americans returning.

At 2:26 AM ET, in the early hours of Thursday, CNN’s cameras were waiting for Trump and Kim Dong-chul, Tony Kim and Kim Hak-song to arrive at Andrews Air Force Base. Journalist John Vause deemed this the time to speculate on scandals: “Donald Trump believes that this success in the foreign policy field might be enough, you know, to distract attention away from the Robert Mueller investigation into Russia, the criminal investigation of his own personal attorney, you know, the Stormy Daniels affair.”

Note the time. Would the previous resident have bothered? Or ordered them to delay until after breakfast at least. You know hildabeast wouldn't be up. Well if there were a bottle that needed finishing off she might be. As to the muledeer comment, did they imply that the hostages were released because muledeer might subpoena kim in the collusion probe?

The fake news media talks about Russia and Stormy because it has nothing else to yammer about.

The picture said it all as a rebuke to them.

I was waiting for CNN to accuse Trump of colluding with North Korea to give him a Kodak Moment.

Oh wait...

Not a journalist, he's an activist.

I remember Ronaldus Magnus, speaking of the Reeeevvvruuuum Jaaaacksoooooon, upon completing successful negotiations for the release of American hostages somewhere in the Middle East, saying, “You can’t argue with success.” In stark contrast, these raving loons have no problem complaining about more MAGA and they are looking like raving loons in the process.

I thought when I saw Melania with the president that even if obozo had shown up for such an event, his wife wouldn’t have been with him.... I thought I saw Mrs. Pence in one of the photos also but it’s only reported that the VP was there.

HA - if Hillary had been president - it wouldn’t have been happening anyway but if it was - she would have sent the “first man” to the base...if he could be found!

Fewer and fewer people are paying any attention to all the nontroversies the media regurgitates night after night. The economy is improving for most people, and the last poll shows that about 57 percent of people think we are headed in the right direction. Under 0bama, only about 40 percent thought we were headed in the right direction. If Trump manages to pull off a big deal with NK, his approval rating will continue to rise.

These organizations don’t even warrant being called NEWS shows - let alone FAKE NEWS. They are simply all opinion...
If we want their opinions we’ll ask for them. Guess what? WE DON’T!!!!! And so true - opinions are like Adam Henry - everyone has one!

Well, speaking of nontroversies, at least gun control/banning and climate change remain up there near the top of concerns for most............libs. Everyday folks, not so much. ;-)

Karen Pence was most certainly there.

I saw the whole thing live.

"I think you probably broke the all-time in history television rating for 3 o’clock in the morning."

Always trolling, that guy.

Undoubtedly. Those poor bastards would've sat on a tarmac in Dover, waiting for the President to finish his breakfast and shoot his morning round of "hoops."

...they are simply all opinion gossip...

There, fixed it. All they do is gossip, speculate and act like the kind of know-it-alls we hated in grade school.
