Watching CNN Coverage of G 20 Protests.

Seems they are reporting a different story...The Cnn American hosts refuse to talk about how much of these protests are related to their anger with Donald..When they turn the narrative over to their on the ground reporters.. These reporters making it freaking clear... “A Huge Part of These Protests have everything to do with Donald Trump”

Cnn the station guarenteed not to push hard on anything related to Donald on this particular trip..

Anyone else noticing this?

It's been a big part of their past G20 protests. They are protesting what we represent more than anything else. I would think they would be protesting Merkel at this point considering Trump is absolving our responsibilities on the world stage.

I watched both channels. They did say that he probably wasn't even aware of their presence since they weren't near his motorcade route.

Even if he drove directly through the protest he still wouldn't be aware since he is so clueless. Possibly his aides would spin it and tell him that it is a demonstration of love and support from the German citizens (sort of like Poland busing thousands in to cheer for him).

Which is why I've long lobbied for the abolishment of CNN and HLN to be replaced with CNN International instead... Night and day difference.

There's also a very real reason why it's never offered in basic cable packages... If regular people could ever compare for themselves, it would be no contest.
