They hated it. They couldn’t stand it. They still cannot stand that this man is president. So, when Trump concluded his Fourth of July address, CNN was there to pounce on it. The notorious anti-Trump network went into overdrive mocking the address because that’s all they can do. Leading up to this event was a freak out over tanks being in the capital. Pure liberal idiocy was on display and that will have to be revisited soon (via Grabien News):
CNN mocks Trump's #4thofJuly speech: "It seems he is reading a Wikipedia page about historical events."

CNN's Philip Mudd on Trump's speech: "I hated it"

A panel discussion immediately following Trump’s Independence Day remarks mocked the speech as the product of an “eighth grade history” that was too focused on the U.S. military.
CNN’s John Kirby twice likened Trump’s remarks “eighth grade history,” and his colleague, Ryan Lizza, likewise said the speech was “a schoolhouse rock version of history or a seventh or 8th grade research report.”
“Sometimes it seems he is reading a Wikipedia page about historical events; on this date this happened,” Lizza complained.
CNN’s Phil Mudd said flatly: “I hated it.”
“Let me be subtle here, at a professional level 25 years in national security, I hated it,” Mudd said. “At a personal level, I hated it more.”
“Wen we are in the midst of July 4th after 9/11 at the CIA, I thought we were celebrating the defense of ideals, the right to live free and fair,” Mudd continued. “The right to live according to the documents that our Founding Fathers established, the right to — of every person every citizen in the country to pretend like they can be president, the right to have economic opportunity. I didn’t realize we were fighting the chance to pay for guns, for weapons.”

CNN’s Brianna Keilar said Trump “swerved away” from the purpose of the 4th of July to instead “move into something very popular, which is the military.”
Her colleague, John Kirby, said the 4th of July is “totally the wrong holiday” to celebrate the U.S. military. Kirby said Trump had originally sought to have a military flyover on Veterans Day, but instead “shoe-horned” it into a 4th of July celebration.
Remember these folks are all liberals and a great deal are former Obama officials. Yeah, these things aren’t really pointed out in the chyrons and for good reason. The day is over. Trump supposedly did celebrate the military. These people didn’t like it. So what? We’re still here. No coup occurred. CNN and the rest of these clowns played their part: being against anything Trump does. This commentary is what you’d expect from the D.C. crowd, an insufferable petri dish of condescending progressive plague.
Bringing up Betsy Ross and then MLK was genius...
Loved it!!! CNN can go s*ck it!!!!!!
ATT is to blame really. Despite a ratings collapse and the fact everyone knows why they do nothing. One must conclude they approve of what CNN has become.
That was not close to what I heard him say, but he did say airport as I listened to him. He was reading the speech from a teleprompter, so he apparently misread a word that looked like airport. Could have been the word rampart.
-Wouldn’t cover the event because it was “all about Trump”
- Spent the rest of the night and today making it all about Trump
Just not in the way they intended...
Trump flubs words in the heat of passion during his speeches sometimes. It’s understandable.
You were probably the only one watching CNN. Their audience has shrunk.
It would be great if cable companies decoupled CNN from the basic package and stop the subscription fee, I’m sure 99% of cable subscribers don’t want to pay for CNN.
No disagreement on that point.
Its not surprising that AT&T is apparently oblivious to CNN’s ratings collapse. ATT is clueless itself. Just look at its stock price for the last decade.
"Eighth Grade History"?????
Not in the last 20 years thanks to anti-American educrats.
There are kids lemon aid stands that are better managed than AT&T.

Believe me, I had to force myself to change the channel to see what CNN was saying. It went against my every impulse.
But it was fascinating to see the degree of anger, frustration and rants. CNN has lost its mind but this eruption of hatred was worth watching. It was visceral and pathological to an alarming degree.
Trump trigger them big time. LOL
A lot of investors look at AT&T as a bond instead of stock. LOL
look for a general House Cleaning by ATT
*************
Unlikely to happen. AT&T needs to do some internal house cleaning of its own but won’t do it.
Its like the CNN of stocks.
Yea, what you said.

My BIL is a mid level manager at ATT. He said the company went “hollywood” and “They seem to think” that is our future. He added the senior management is replete with the plain old telephone system (POTS) people living in an era long past. Right now the word is to squeeze every penny they can get out of the operating business lines as they transition because they over paid for what they got in their recent acquisitions Time Warner and Direct TV.
I can’t watch CNN but like to read about how miserable they are.

Commie News Network or Clinton News Network are both Freeper classics.

Mr. Mudd was further quoted exclaiming, Na, Na, Na, Na! while covering his ears.
Yeah but it was CNN so nobody was watching....
