Uh, CNN has been unacceptable for decades.

The sooner they become "woke", the better for them.

If Trump isn’t careful, this could start to have an effect on how they cover him.

'This is unacceptable'

Ah, the inalienable right to be allowed into a president's press conference.

As if there is such a thing.

Why does CNN think it is any better than any other news outlet? I mean, really? Why is the Normalville Democrat in Pennsylvania any LESS entitled to being briefed by the President than CNN?

It seems that according to the viewing public and the Nielson rating group the only thing unacceptable, is watching Clinton News Network.
