Why Is Kellyanne Conway On CNN??? (Jake Tapper's Show)

[LovingA2andMI]

They Are Playing US for Ratings, Straight Up!! Thought they refused to have her on that network, for her lying nature. That was BS.

1. I just saw that and had to quickly switch to MSNBC. WTF?

[LovingA2andMI]

3. Exactly....

[etherealtruth]

2. The larger question is ... is he confronting lies and bloviation?

[True Dough]

7. Yes!

He certainly is!

[etherealtruth]

9. Good ... I am having bifurcated feelings about this

Is it better to just not have her on ... or is it better to have her on and confront every lie and call her on her bloviation.

Initially, I thought it would be better to just not have her on ... now I am not so sure.

12. I think it's best to have her on air

The Drumpf administration is going to serve up one liar or another. Someone has to be on there trying to spin things, otherwise his supporters can accuse CNN of being one-sided. Journalism is supposed to be fair and balanced. It's aggravating to listen to her tell bald-faced lies but the best approach is to hold her accountable and call her on her B.S.

15. I have been rethinking my original position

Completely shutting her out would only work if all major outlets did it in concert. FAUX will never do that. If FAUX (and others) give her a platform, her false assertions (read lies) go unchallenged and will be accepted as true by many.

I guess it is better to have her on ... but for the love of Pete she needs to be challenged and confronted with facts.

I am still astounded Chris Matthews let her get away with the entire Bowling Green fiasco (although , in the end, it did far more harm than good to her)

16. just watched it on YouTube, and I approve.

I like that! Sure hope to see more actual reporters asking actual questions and pushing until they get something resembling a legitimate answer.

Especially eager to see if she goes back again. Tapper actually raked her fairly hard. (Could have been harder, but it's a start!)

[True Dough]

17. I think he would have gone harder

if she had resisted more and barked back at him. But, for some reason, CONway was in a little bit more of a conciliatory mood today. I always question their tactics and motives, however. This isn't truly an olive branch. No way!

4. Spin...Spin...Spin

How does she sleep with herself at night?

[lunatica]

10. She probably passes out from the dizzy

[Motown_Johnny]

13. Alcohol.

Lots and Lots of Alcohol.

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

5. He's actually not letting her spin and she seems more restrained than usual

Maybe she doesn't like being shunned.

[Mike Nelson]

6. Surprised...

...but he's roasting Kellyanne. She's clearly backed down a couple of times.

[Phoenix61]

8. Spicer said CNN had backed down on not having her on

Maybe they told her she had to behave herself and gave her one last chance. I'm not sure why they would do that as she seems incapable of telling the truth.

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

14. Who cares what Spicer said...he's a dip shit

eom

[NCTraveler]

11. I called that release CNN propaganda.

Seemed pretty obvious. That doesn't mean they won't call her out more.
