CNN wins. They didn't broadcast Spicer's media rants live. The WH reporter came on after

[TeamPooka]

and gave an update about it.
Filtering the bullshit that comes out of this White House is crucial to all news
They knew Spicer wasn't taking questions so it wasn't news.
MSNBC showed the whole thing live and Brian Williams went 'gosh aw shucks' after it.
CNN>MSNBC

1. Good for them!

SHOULD be SOP for entire press corps

[Big Blue Marble]

2. No, they should have covered it.

You have to have.experienced it to understand how dangerous it was. How threatening to us all.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

4. You might be right, it was a shocking/hilarious/scary statement.

[dalton99a]

5. Yep.

[MurrayDelph]

6. I have an idea

If they want better ratings for their news coverage, and still provide actual information, whenever someone for the Trump administration is talking, someone in the control booth should have this ready each time they lie:

[Lucinda]

17. I like it!

Perfect for the TV Pres.

[TeamPooka]

7. They showed clips afterwards.

[lpbk2713]

3. Trump said CNN was the worst of the news ntwks.

I think he'll be paying for that statement for a while.

Among many other of his statements.

15. cnn is the new msnbc. I was surprise to read Fox !, MSNBC 2, CNN three. Figured with CNN

tuned in at every airport - most hotels - lots of places it would have been higher. Never see MSNBC tuned in at a public place.

[Maru Kitteh]

8. Good for them. Watching Brianna Keiler right now.

They are tearing shitgibbon and Spicer limb from limb.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

34. This is going to be good (I mean from the press point of view). He defiled them just like I

a, 80% convinced he did to Obama's bed in Moscow.

stupid man.

9. so brian williams was normalizing it.. would you say?

[Hestia]

29. No, he didn't. Watched him for the first time ever this p.m. after C-Span signed off on the

Women's March on Washington. Both he & Lawrence O'Donnell were looking at each other on how to report the "unique" press report without pissing off the bosses. Especially enjoyed the twinkle in LO'D eyes as he was reporting on what went on in the CIA presser.

No, they both knew it was NOT normal.

[Cha]

30. Good to know, Hestia.. 'cause we have enough of those

kind of "reporters"

Thank you!

10. I liked how CNN let Jim Acosta call Trump insecure.

I nodded along when he was giving his report on Spicer, Trump and the crowd size. It's true, and I know it's going to inflame Trump, which gives me some small joy. Plain, and simple.

I do realize I'm in full 'enemy of my enemy' mode, but I'm not sure I care all that much at the moment.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

13. Saw it. Even Gloria Borger who is usually obnoxious - was good talking about This is your day 1 ?

the CIA was even more unbelievable. "I love you" WTF - What kind of commander in chief talks like that? And spends time on his ego driven rant about the crowds on a real deal CIA event?

[herding cats]

21. He's no Commander in Chief.

Commander in Thief, maybe.

[dchill]

28. Commander in Cheese.

[phylny]

19. CNN is going to get an email from me

thanking them for being honest.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

27. amen! I will too

[Cha]

31. Insecure?! What? NO....

Good to know Jim Acosta said that.. thank you, cats!

[herding cats]

36. Haha!!

My only tiny quibble is, that's hardly breaking news. Anyone with even marginal contact with Trump has said he's a whinny, vengeful, spoiled rotten little man boy!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

11. CNN has been great - and debunking Spicer - just perfect !

[dixiegrrrrl]

22. Spicer just lost Bill Kristol, of all people

Kristol, on twitter:

It is embarrassing, as an American, to watch this briefing by Sean Spicer from the podium at the White House.
Not the RNC.
The White House.

[Cha]

32. Thank you for that, dixiegrrrrl.. I know Kristol doesn't like blotus

[Baitball Blogger]

12. I heard it live.

What a whiney baby.

You know we're going to get hit soon because it's obvious no one is minding the store.

14. Doug Brinkley: Our thoughts that he would change - have been put to rest. He sounded like a

24. and he said this

There's an unhinged quality to him. That's his personality. We have to stop thinking there's a new president coming."

Douglas Brinkley, CNN

[Laura PourMeADrink]

His Twitter and nothing crazy yet..gonna set my alarm for 4am

[dixiegrrrrl]

33. there is a Potus account, dunno if he is using it as well.

Maybe he will try to use both, until smoke arises from his ears and he has permanent meltdown.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

35. Nothing so far. Compared to yesterday...this has been a GREAT day ! nt

[jmg257]
