CNN Reliable Sources ripping Trump a new one.

[madaboutharry]

Full on assault right now. Calling him a manipulator and a liar.

It's beautiful.

1. AWARD THEM CREDIT NOW?

Long overdue that they make the obvious call.

Let's see how long this lasts.

[madaboutharry]

2. I agree they didn't get their act together

until they felt insulted.

If coming down the home stretch is the time they call him out is the moment they act like journalist, than better late than never.

3. As someone who ONLY watches CNN and has it on pretty much ALL of the time...

I have found them to be VERY honest and fair. I work from home and get to have the news on constantly. I really don't get why so many people are so critical of CNN at this site. I have seen virtually NO consistent bias one way or the other on CNN. I literally have CNN on from about 7 or 8 am until after midnight 7 days a week. The only time I don't have it on is when I am watching one of a few shows like Vikings, Game of Thrones, Reign, The 100 or I am not home. They DO cover stories that are unfavorable to Clinton too if they are news, but they are NOT shills for Trump by any stretch of the imagination.

8. I have MSNBC on all the time and I can't say the same thing.

While O'Donnell, Maddow, Reid and one or two others are excellent, there are largely overshadowed by the slime like Scarborough, Brzinsky, Matthews, Kornacki, Toad, Mitchell, Halperin and Welker.

9. Then you are watching the wrong channel, lol

The worst bit about CNN is that some of their Trump surrogates are annoying, but the reporters are mostly really good. Wolf Blitzer can be a bit annoying, though.

11. But I wouldn't have anything to complain about then !

I switch when Scumborough goes into anti Hillary rant mode.

14. They have let dipshit surrogates run all over them.

Not stopped them when the surrogates were telling lies. Not even came close to fact checking what the surrogates said and allowing them to spread lies. I have seen several times when dipshit's surrogates will not give up the segment to the opposing view. So it ends up being ad time for dipshit. The same thing happens on some of the msnbc shows. But at least they seem to have some that are able to stop that bs.

4. Reliable sources did a good job

I am DVRing this show so that I can watch AMJOY first and then I watch Reliable Sources

5. Could we have a few details, I didn't see it.

[madaboutharry]

6. Discussed how Trump manipulated the media on Friday

by lying about having a "major announcement with opportunities for questions" and how Trump lies constantly and has gotten away with it for over a year.

[anamandujano]

7. It's good that they went further than the infomercial con.

"Trump lies constantly and has gotten away with it for over a year."

This is good. We'll see if they keep it up or he has to stick it to them again.

[GopherGal]

12. Probably he'll have to stick it to them again...

...even in this transcript they're referring to not knowing where Hillary was for 90 minutes last week (when she was at Chelsea's) was equally bad to Trump's antics.

The false equivalencies are already reestablished...

10. Here is the transcript

13. wow--that's awesome!

Thanks so much for finding and sharing that!

15. I will say this about CNN...

The day Trump gave his big economics speech last week, CNN tore him and his plan to pieces. They had the CNN business experts on and they shredded him, his economic plan, and his tax plan. They pointed out the huge crater it would make in our finances and that it was no different than other bankrupt ideas trotted out by Bush and company.

FWIW - their programming during Andrea Mitchell's hour of Clinton hatred is much better...
