Trump slams CNN: 'Clinton News Network'
The Washington Examiner ^ | September 18, 2016 | Rudy Takala

Posted on 09/19/2016 4:28:59 AM PDT by kevcol

"We talked about CNN. It's called the Clinton News Network ... it is so biased it's ridiculous, and they're very dishonest, very dishonest people, so I called them out and I'm very proud of it. And now I see the [media's] poll numbers are at an all time low, and frankly I think I had something to do with that, but I'm very proud of it."

A Gallup poll released this week found just 32 percent of Americans have a "great deal" or "fair amount" of trust in the media, while 27 percent said they had no trust. The numbers represent a record low for the media since Gallup began conducting the survey in 1972.

“Remember that simply standing up to a press debate moderator won the S.C. Republican Primary for Newt Gingrich in 2012.”

Yup, same for Cruz when he did the same. He got roundly applauded.

Trump has obviously keyed in on this and is using it quite effectively.

The Birther presser was pure genius.

CNN is great once you figure out it is parody programming.

Time for these propaganda arms of CNN to be severed. Go Trump!

Or related to Khizr and Ghazala Khan, the lively DNC couple.

Exactly. Trump was irresponsible and unpresidential for calling it a bomb. Hillary was presidential for calling it a bombing. You see the bomb went off, so the bomb does not exist, so you can't call it a bomb. It is an event that happened so it is a bombing.

Capish?! Well I do. They are lunatics.

-- Trump was irresponsible and unpresidential for calling it a bomb. --

They are still pushing this! He was briefed. He was almost certainly told it was a bomb. Otherwise it could have been a natural gas or transformer explosion.

And then they showed Hillary's sleep-walking performance, and opined it showed a deliberate, measured, presidential approach.

I don't know how they deliver this dry humor for so long, without busting out laughing.

No one grounded in morality and reality can keep up this patter. Well I can for a while, but sooner or later I burst out in hysterics.

Yes. I always have my dumpster wired for electricity and hooked up to the gas lines. Never know when you will want to hang out and cook a meal.

LOL. Well, my first question when I hear "explosion in .." is whether it is utility related or not. If Trump said it was a bomb, he had been told that.

Gas Explosions That Have Rocked New York City.

Trump would be more aware of that than someone who was not in tune with NYC goings on.

Carol Costello just now asserted that the bomb in Chelsea was inside the dumpster. False. The dumpster metal is all pushed IN. Bomb was outside, but near the dumpster, maybe under it.

And the "fact" that the bomb was inside was important to Costello's point, that the perp was not aiming for maximum carnage.

Just to get off topic, they just announced the arrest of one of the bombing suspects, a guy named Ahmed Khan. Obviously another Amish guy

The bombers were not Trump supporters - CNN is shocked.

They’re neck and neck with PMSNBC for that number one spot.

Trump is a Freeper.

What's his screen name? (Or do you mean a FReeper at heart rather than an actual participant?)

They are raiding an apt. now in Jersey and arrested 5 other people. So that’s 10 total...its terror cells

And apparently they've known who and where all along, and failed to act. Incompetence or following orders?

Meaning he’s like us in so many ways.

Many Freepers have commented in the past year that he has expressed many things that only a Freeper would express. So there are many beliefs that he reads or someone close to him reads FR.

There have been many ideas, remarks, observations born on FR that in the next day or few days were repeated in the press by Donald but by no one else.
