Trump rips ABC over Epstein coverage
The Hill ^ | 11 10 2019 | Justine Coleman

Posted on 11/10/2019 10:57:51 AM PST by yesthatjallen

President Trump ripped ABC over its coverage of Jeffrey Epstein in a tweet Sunday morning.

The president retweeted a tweet featuring a video of Jesse Watters on Fox News’ “Watters’ Words,” who criticized ABC for covering allegations against Justice Brett Kavanaugh without evidence but refusing to report on the Epstein case.

“ABC is as bad as the rest of them,” Trump tweeted in response. “Journalistic standards are nonexistent today. The press is so dishonest that we no longer have Freedom of the Press!”

In the retweeted video, Watters delved into the controversial recording released last week, showing ABC host Amy Robach on hot mic in 2016 claiming the network refused to air her story and interviews involving Epstein.

The Hill reached out to ABC for comment.

ABC has previously said in statements the network continued to pursue the story, but the reporting at the time did not meet “our standards to air.” (*chuckle*)

The Democratic Media Complex jump on every Trump tweet.

They'll ignore this one.

The Communist News Media had to protect Epstein because protecting Epstein meant protecting the Clinton Crime Family..if Epstein had the goods on President Trump they would have given the story 24/7 coverage..but this was about protecting Bill Clinton

He could always pin it. It almost doesn’t matter what the Media says to be honest. I’m not sure how many people have their primary news source as CNN, MSNBC etc. I’d suggest a lot of people who aren’t into politics get their news locally.nive been experimenting with going to local news of different states and areas. Esperanza when Trump is in town. I’d argue that one of the more powerful things about his rallys is the local media coverage he gets.

Makes you wonder what standards were met for reporting on Judge Kavanaugh.

In other words no standards when reporting on conservatives but you need a conviction before you would report on a liberal.

Watters was very worked up about it. Never heard him so angry before.

[[Watters delved into the controversial recording released last week, showing ABC host Amy Robach on hot mic]]

How long before fox news orders Jesse to stop reporting on the epstein case because he’s getting too close to naming a former president that fox news loved as a customer as?

As always with The Hill, I thought that I would like to share a couple of gems from the comments section:

“Why is Trump concerned about Epstein? He’s too dumb not to show he’s guilty of being involved with Epstein.

The promise of White House meeting to Ukraine is bribery

Withholding US Military aid is extortion”

And the second:

“Donald, your DOJ let Epstein get killed in prison.

Wtf are you talking about?”
