Trump Is Losing The Media War As CNN Isnt Putting Up With Anymore White House Lies

Trump Is Losing The Media War As CNN Isn’t Putting Up With Anymore White House Lies
By Jason Easley on Tue, Feb 7th, 2017 at 3:23 pm
The Trump White House suffered another defeat in their war with the media today as CNN immediately shot down a Sean Spicer lie about why the network turned down an offer to interview Kellyanne Conway.

Press Secretary Spicer was asked if the White House is willing to provide alternative representatives after CNN turned down an offer of Kellyanne Conway over concerns about her credibility.

Spicer said, “Frankly, my understanding is that they retracted that. They walked that back or denied it. However, you want to put it, I don’t care. I think Kellyanne is a very trusted aide of the president. I think that for any characterization otherwise is insulting. I think if they choose not to work with someone that’s up to them, but we’re going to continue to put out key leaders of this administration including Kellyanne, that can articulate the president’s policies and agenda.”

CNN wasn’t having any of Sean Spicer’s lies:

CNN declined the offer to interview Conway because they had serious credibility concerns about Trump’s senior adviser.

The White House press secretary looked the American people in the eye and lied to them.

...is giving them the ratings without compromising their "middle road" approach. There is simply no middle road when it comes to bullshit.

MSNBC is going to regret hiring a bunch of former Fox News talking heads.

The reporters showed Trump's tweets and then pointed out the lies. This happened over the course of several minutes and several topics. I hope they are all doing this.
