CNN sticks it to the president where it matters most to him
The president signed the Muslim Ban Executive Order in hiding and released the photos to the media. CNN did not fall for the trap. They are maintaining their recent stance (Jake Tapper, Wolf Blitzer) on holding the president accountable.
CNN made sure Trump did not control the message that Americans saw. The discriminatory ban is one of Trump's signature promises to those that were causal in him winning the electoral college.
It was clear that Trump would want a photo op. He intended to talk about fulfilling his promises to his base. But his actions stepped on the event he had scheduled for today. The media, who cannot seem to cover multiple events of consequence simultaneously, are hyper-fixed on his tweet accusing President Obama of wiretapping Trump Tower.
So he had the signing of his signature bill in private, in hiding. Followingly he released the photos. CNN threw a wrench in his gears. They did not acquiesce to Trump's cowardliness and refused to air any of the pictures. CNN’s John King, in this excerpted video, called out Trump appropriately.
