CNN’s all-out war with Donald Trump took a strange turn.
No one saw this coming.
And now two CNN reporters just made this astounding confession about Donald Trump.
Fake news reporter McKay Coppins published a piece in The Atlantic about how reporters intended to cover a potential Biden administration.
The last four years saw reporters define themselves through the adversarial and ferociously negative coverage of Donald Trump and his administration.
But in The Atlantic piece, two prominent CNN reporters – Jim Acosta and Daniel Dale – admitted they just put on a show during the Trump administration and intended to spend the next four years on vacation by not putting the potential Biden administration under scrutiny.
“I don’t think the press should be trying to whip up the Biden Presidency and turn it into must-see TV in a contrived way,” Acosta stated.
Acosta falsely claimed he wasn’t being partisan, but that a Republican in the White House calling out the media’s clear bias constituted a national emergency.
“If that sounds like a double standard, Acosta told me it’s not partisan – it’s a matter of professional solidarity. In his view, Trump’s campaign to discredit the press has constituted a ‘nonstop national emergency,’ one that required a defiant response. ‘If being at the White House is not an experience that might merit hazard pay,’ he said, ‘then perhaps it is going to be approached differently,’” Coppins wrote.
CNN’s star “fact checker” – all he really does is say opinions Democrats disagree with are lies – Daniel Dale admitted he won’t fact check Joe Biden at all – even though Joe Biden lies a much as any politician in memory – and now will see his job transform into fact checking “online misinformation” and Members of Congress.
“Daniel Dale, the former Toronto Star correspondent who rose to stardom at CNN for his exhaustive cataloging of Trump’s lies, says his beat will necessarily expand come January. ‘It will not be a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week job to fact-check Biden,’ he told me. Though he stressed that the same ‘intensity and rigor’ should be applied to the incoming President, the simple reality is that Biden doesn’t lie nearly as often as Trump does. Consequently, Dale hopes to spend more time debunking online disinformation and digging into claims made by congressional leaders,” Coppins reported.
Online misinformation is defined as any opinion or viewpoint Democrats disagree with that is posted to social media.
And when Dale says he will “fact check” Members of Congress he does not mean AOC, Chuck Schumer, or Nancy Pelosi.
Dale intends to “fact check” only Republicans, especially the more obscure members.
The media spent four years telling Americans that their job was to speak truth to power and how an aggressive news media was the last defense for democracy.
But now that they believe Donald Trump is on the way out, they are admitting that was all partisan performance art and they intend to go back to not covering any negative news now that they think Joe Biden will be President.
