Fake News Flashback: CNN Declared Trump ‘Bonkers’ for Saying Clinton, Dems Behind Dossier
breitbart ^ | JOHN NOLTE

Posted on 02/08/2018 5:08:03 AM PST by davikkm

Writing for the far-left CNN back in October, Chris Cillizza declared President Donald Trump “bonkers” and “crazy” for suggesting what turned out to be 100 percent true: that the Democrats, Hillary Clinton, the FBI, and Russia, were all behind what is known as the “Russian dossier.” “[I]t is deeply irresponsible for a president of the United States to even flirt with this sort of conspiracy talk,” the overwrought Cillizza wrote, adding, “[T]he idea that the Russians, the Democrats and the FBI co-funded a dossier designed to discredit Trump’s 2016 campaign is totally bonkers.”

What set Cillizza off on his fake news spree was an October 19, 2017, Trump tweet that said, “Workers of firm [Fusion GPS] involved with the discredited and Fake Dossier take the 5th. Who paid for it, Russia, the FBI or the Dems (or all)?”

CNN was one of the six media outlets privy to FACT that Hillary and the DNC produced this dossier, They ACTIVELY Colluded with the Russians to overthrow an Election. Yes CNN, you are ALL Traitors.

I’d like to see Chris Cillizza explain himself but that will never happen.

This slow walking of the truth is frustrating for us but it’s the best for the rest of the country. It allows them to absorb the fax slowly so it does not shock to their system

Sounds like Trump knew what was going on way back. Probably why he’s so confident and even taunting his enemies. If I were on the other side, I would be so mad and yet feel so helpless.

“[T]he idea that the Kennedy Administration, the CIA, the FBI and elements of organized crime conspired together to assassinate Fidel Castro is totally bonkers.”

The stages:

1) Completely untrue, you have to be crazy to think that.
2) Sensible people know it cannot be true.
3) Well, I suppose it could be true, but you have no evidence.
4) Okay, you have some evidence, but it’s hardly convincing.
5) Yeah, your evidence seems solid, but this is old news, can’t we just move on?
6) You can dwell on if you want, but no one cares.
7) Well, people seem to care but it’s not actually illegal.
8) Okay, it’s illegal but you’ll never get a conviction.
9) Russia, Russia, Russia.

The stages:

I tell ya….. I would love to be a fly on the wall in the backroom of CNN right about now listening to a discussion with all their senior muckety mucks. Surely there has to be at least one person saying “so let me get this straight…. we are to continue to disparage the President no matter how good things are going, we are to continue paying zero attention to the entire FISA stuff… and we are to continue to do whatever it takes to protect Obama from harm and ignore all the malfeasance related to Clinton. Have I got that about right? Meanwhile this elephant in the room that we are ignoring is getting bigger daily….what is the point where we have to change course with this canard?”

It is frustrating.

The Good News....We did indeed dodge a bullet.

By now, all DACA "kids" would have been granted citizenship.

Tax plan would kill the market.

More social programs would be enacted.

Just so many things that would be shouldered by working folks....for the distribution of wealth.

We dodged a bullet...

Thank you God and wise Americans who went to the polls.

Republicans actually do get time on Fake News TV.

Do they have any plan to DEMAND APOLOGIES for all the crap Trump has taken from the media? Or are they just going to keep running around looking like idiots? Do I even need to ask?

“so far President Trump has been 100% correct and they have been 100% wrong period”

First Trump makes a statement
First a media / dem (but I repeat myself) makes a stupid statement against Trump
Then the other media repeat it
Then Trump winds up being correct
Then the topic winds up in the Memory Hole

Then the cycle repeats a week later

Simple enough explanation. “Bonkers” is CNNese for “We will change this narrative later if it so suits us.”

This way, they can be wrong, and right (or correct) at the same time. Their ever dwindling viewership will certainly buy that one. Now, get out of here, ya bother me.
