CNN Attacks Trump Over Tweet on London Terror Attack, Fails Miserably

CNN reporter Jennifer Hansler attacked President Trump today for tweeting about an apparent terror attack in London while the investigation was still underway.

However, CNN itself was reporting the incident as a terrorist attack before Trump tweeted. Further, UK authorities had indeed already announced that they were treating the incident as a terror attack.

Wrote Hansler:

In addition to declaring the incident a "terrorist attack" before officials in London, Trump said the perpetrators are "animals."

Remarkably, Hansler's article acknowledges that the suspect had been arrested on suspicion of terrorist offenses. In her very first sentence, Hansler also links to another CNN article that was headlined: "Crash outside UK Houses of Parliament treated as terror incident, police say."

President Trump tweeted his remarks at 7:42 a.m. ET. CNN had promoted its story about the attack being treated as a terror incident nearly an hour before Trump's tweet:

Hours before Trump, other media outlets were reporting on statements by the London Metropolitan Police that the incident was being treated as a terror attack. For example, the BBC describes it as a terrorist attack based on police statements (5:36am ET):

CNN is now officially the MAD magazine parody of themselves. :-/

I’m adding this ‘reporter’s name to the keywords, because I suspect we will be hearing more from her.

THAT is an excellent bumper sticker!

Ok, so Trump insulted animals. Should have called them CNN creatures.

The Commie media LOVES Jihadists, they both have the same agenda

[Sarah Barracuda]

Nah, if the media were just stupid I could understand that and feel sympathy for them, they are not stupid, everything they do is intentional, its ALL about the Commie left agenda

[rightwingcrazy]

He was wrong to call them animals. He should have called them monsters. Animals, as a rule, aren’t driven by malice to plot and execute gruesome acts of violence against those who are no threat to them.

Whatfinger News Retweeted Sean Davis ✔ @seanmdav London police: This was a terrorist attack. Trump: It was a terrorist attack. CNN: Can you believe Trump called this a terrorist attack?

Partner, I really liked your excellent photo of what comes out of CNN news outlet. You perfectly described on a picture exactly what we think of CNN.

Partner, these "Giant Sixth Grade Brain Journalists" just do not get it that we are sick and tired of the "Mooselimb" murders and atrocities. They will not ever address these things on CNN channel outlets and I really think that CNN journalists do not have a heart period!

Trump should be tweet that he’s sorry if his statement was false, he got his information on CNN
