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?””

You obviously go back a long way it seems.

CNN became known as ‘The Clinton News Network” for good reason in the 90s.

CNN has less viewers than PMSNBC now! No wonder!

No wonder they pay their analists millions a year. Such deep insight. They think the same thing about his followers.

CNN was the most watched cable news throughout the primaries. They were much fairer to Trump than Murdoch’s henchman were and are at FNC. I suppose once they realized that he could actually beat her Heinous, they are in a panic and are now feverishly trying to take him down.

All of the MSM are on a Trump Jihad and will be so for the rest of the campaign, right up to President Trump’s reelection bid. Lord knows what BS they have planned as we get closer to the election.

Hard to believe they can utter such BS with a straight face.

The uber-stupidity of these “journalist” types is astounding. They actually think the trash they talk has some credibility.

The first thing I think is, “hasn’t the idiot even listened to ANY Trump speeches?”

The funny part is on these media staffed panels is, it a circle jerk - mutual masterbation to soothe their ruffled feathers.

None of that is going to make a difference to anyone with an IQ above 50.

It never fails. The media turns vicious against anyone who threatens the left’s stranglehold on power. It trashed Bush and will never stop trashing Trump.

I feel a little bit sorry for all these Clinton/Obama Media buffoons, because at the end of the day, they are going to all be wrong, worse then any of the DJ Trump Republican Establishment goons were during the Republican primaries!!! I would keep my eye on the polls, because within the next three weeks, or so, Trump will break out with a massive lead and then promptly finish Hillary Clinton off at the first POTUS debate. And....MIke Pence will absolutely destroy that moron, Tim Kaine at the VP debate!!! My prediction at this moment, Trump will get 15-20% of the African-American vote, and, will get 25-30% of the Latino/Hispanic vote, largely Puerto Rican & Cuban American citizens. Folks the handwriting is clearly on the wall, for all to see. Sadly, the Clinton/Obana media, have nary a clue!!!

They wouldn’t be wasting their time insulting Trump if he was losing.

They’re in panic and they know their attacks can’t stop him.

MSM is so far in the tank for Hillary they don’t realize or care Americans hate them even more than they hate her.

Actually, people are beyond caring what they think of Trump.

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

You must be older than me, for I do not remember such a time.
