"Mueller hearing a "disaster for democrats" - lookee here!


I heard many today say they were upset by a CNN opinion piece that used these words-
it was at the top of Google search for a while, probably helped by russian troll farms.

The author was CNN's Alice Stewart.

Once you do a bio check and find out who she is, it suddenly dawns on you how full of shit she is - and made me ask myself how much corporate media owners are desperately trying to provide pro Trump propaganda cover.

"Shortly after she turned her back on broadcasting, Alice Stewart began working for the then Arkansas governor, Mike Huckabee as his press secretary. She was amazing at her job and subsequently played as the press secretary for the governor’s 2008 presidential campaign.

Then in the 2012 presidential cycle, the then press secretary for the Arkansas governor began to work for Michele Bachman in the same stead. After the campaign ended, she was recruited by Rick Santorum. With the end of the campaign, she subsequently hired by Mitt Romney to work as his surrogate.

In 2016, Alice Stewart worked under Mike Huckabee again as his communication director. Meanwhile, the then press secretary had joined a nonprofit organization just before her appointment with Huckabee. She later left the ex-governor campaign group that same year.

Stewart went ahead to join Senator Ted Cruz’s campaign organization in 2016 serving as the national spokeswoman and senior adviser. She subsequently transited into being his communication director. Unfortunately, with Ted Cruz’s loss of the Republican party ticket to then-candidate Donald Trump, Stewart joined CNN."

A little checking on her cleared things up fast.

There is more about her rethuggery at other places. It looks luke she was involved with the RNC.

Worked for republicans...check. Just what we need from that bastian of independent news, CNN. Yet another republican to spin their bullshit under the guise of objective reporting.

Turn that shit off! They feed on our attention.

… renew her contract. I suppose they hired her in their continuing effort to get a "conservative" voice at CNN to draw FOX viewers... most of the hires have gotten in trouble with the law or said something so bigoted, they had to let them go... CNN is so dumb.

All they do is talk about Mueller's halting speech, that he seemed confused at times, and not in command of his own report. They didn't counter one fucking word of the evidence presented about the Russian installed usurper in the Oval Office.

....that trump was all but indicted by the Muller report. Now it's just a matter of putting the rest of the pieces into place and they'll be fitting donnie sr., donnie jr., and Javanka (both of them) for orange jumpsuits.

I hope they get Pence in the mix, too, so he can't pardon them all.

Let's see, with donnie sr. and Pence out of office, who becomes President? BOOM - Nancy Pelosi.
