CNN Media Panel: Clinton vs. Trump Is Apples vs. 'Rancid Meat'
newsbusters ^ | 9/4/16 | Nicholas Fondacaro

Posted on 09/04/2016 2:08:44 PM PDT by Nachum

On his Sunday show Reliable Sources, host Brain Stelter brought out a panel made up a proverbial who’s who of Donald Trump opponents to whine about how the media was being “unfair” to Hillary Clinton and going easy on Trump. “All year long, I have been hearing one very specific description of the election coverage,” Stelter stated to start off the first segment, “No, it's not bias, but it's close, it's false equivalents.” Stelter insinuated that there was false comparisons being drawn between the two and that Trump is, “graded on a curve making it easier for him.”

The first person Stelter sought knowledge on the topic from was Jacob Weisberg from the radical leftist publication Slate, asking him what came to mind when he thought of false equivalency. “You know, the structure of covering politics is you compare an apple and an Orange, they have different attributes,” Weisberg started to explain, “But they're both fruits, you can take your pick. This case we have something more like an apple and some rancid meat.”

“I’m sorry, is Donald Trump the rancid meat,” Stelter asked, while feigning ignorance. “He’s the rancid meat, and in all sorts of ways,” Weisberg responded, “And what I think the press is struggling with is “how do you not normalize him, but at the same time be fair and do your job as a journalist?””

Their “big trick” is to exactly reverse what’s going on.

Claiming victimhood is the oldest abuser trick in the book - and especially loved by feminists and the MSM.

The Liberal Media and Murdoch News hate Trump so much they can’t hide it. One of the many reasons I want Trump to win is so I can watch the media try to hide their rage at his victory.

So by association all US Citizen’s who support Donald Trump are “rancid meat”?

Somebody needs a punch in the mouth.

If Hillary were an apple would you leave her on your teacher’s desk?

Let’s see; this apple has committed multiple felonies while occupying one of the highest offices in our Federal government.

This is one rotten apple. Don’t leave it on the teacher’s desk if you are angling for an A on your history test.

CNN would oppose any candidate who is not a liberal Democrat. The attacks on Trump are exponentially more vicious simply because he can win.

It wasn’t that long ago that CNN was the go to place for trustworthy news. Certainly Not Now.

Trump is the apple of America’s eye.

Not CNN's America, which is the America of crack dens and whorehouses.

I guess when you don’t have anything good to say about your candidate, you fall back to personal attacks and avoiding press conferences.
