CNN Went From Fake News To NORK Propaganda Outlet

On Saturday, CNN published an article with the headline “Kim Jong Un's Sister Is Stealing The Show At The Winter Olympics” after she went viral on social media for her side-eye glances at Vice President Mike Pence when they were seated near each other in Gangneung Stadium.
The first line reads, “If 'diplomatic dance' were an event at the Winter Olympics, Kim Jong Un's younger sister would be favored to win gold. With a smile, a handshake and a warm message in South Korea's presidential guest book, Kim Yo Jong has struck a chord with the public just one day into the Pyeongchang Games.”
There is no situation in which North Korea’s murderous regime should be admired.

CNN: That Damned Trump Planted Trees Where We Filmed Him Playing Golf

In the continuing feud between the White Box Truck Vs The Most Busted Name In News, Ana Cabrera pissed and moaned Saturday night saying, “CNN news cameras did not get any video of President Trump playing golf and here’s why:  where CNN cameras were once positioned, trees appear.  Yes, new trees are being planted there.”
The network has relentlessly charged a white truck appeared to have deliberately blocked their camera’s view of the golf club where the President was golfing.  This has Russian collusion written all over it.  CNN is working overtime to provide the Democrats everything they need to advance an impeachment bill against the President:  golfing too much, pounding a 12-pack of Diet Coke® a day and hogging all the ice cream. 
No mention, of course, that President Trump invited service members from Station Lake Worth Inlet and other Coast Guard members from across the U.S. to play at his golf course in West Palm Beach as a “thank you” for their service.
“These brave men and women patrol the waterways near Palm Beach and Mar-a-Lago every day,” said White House deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley. “The President wanted to thank these service members personally for their service to this nation.”

Fox Does A Disservice To Its Viewers

Brian Stelter, CNN’s host of Reliable Sources, decided he would dispute the findings in the Rasmussen Daily Presidential Tracking Poll.
The poll shows that 45% of likely U.S. voters approve of President Trump’s job performance; 53% disapprove.  According to the poll for December 29, 2017 the President has virtually the same job approval ratings that The World’s Most Dangerous Community Organizer earned at the end of his first year as president.  On that date, 46% of voters approved and 53% disapproved.  
When President Trump tweeted about the polling this morning he noted, “While the Fake News loves to talk about my so-called low approval rating, @foxandfriends just showed that my rating on Dec. 28, 2017 was approximately the same as President Obama on Dec. 28, 2009 which was 47%...and this despite massive negative Trump coverage & Russia hoax!”
Lumpy “The Hairless Hall Monitor” Stelter fired back at Trump directly with:
For context the President’s tweet came at 7:46 AM.  Stelter responded to the President’s tweet at 8:25 AM.  Then Jennifer Agiesta, CNN’s Polling Director, hastily published a response online at 11:27 AM.
“President Donald Trump claimed Friday that his approval ratings at this point in his presidency rival those of Barack Obama, citing a report from ‘Fox & Friends.’  But the truth, across almost every reputable poll, is that Trump's approval ratings have lagged behind those of nearly all of his predecessors, including Obama, since day one of his presidency.
Agiesta assailed Rasmussen’s methodology arguing, “They claim to interview likely voters, without specifying in what election those people are likely to cast ballots, nor how they are identified. Polls conducted this way do not meet CNN's standards for reporting, because they can under-represent certain segments of the population.”
She continues, “Rasmussen's polling received a C+ rating in FiveThirtyEight's most recent pollster rankings, and it has been found to lean toward the GOP when compared with other pollsters, which means it typically understated support for Obama and has a tendency to overstate support for Trump when compared with other polls.”
On June 16, 2015, Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight infamy said, “Trump has a better chance of caneoing in another “Home Alone” movie with Macaulay Culkin—or playing in the NBA Finals—than winning the Republican nomination.”
On August 11, 2015 Silver said, “Our emphatic prediction is simply that Trump will not win the nomination. It’s not even clear that he’s trying to do so.”
Then came this pip on November 23, 2015. “So, could Trump win?  Nobody remotely like Trump has won a major-party nomination in the modern era.  For my money, that adds up to Trump’s chances being higher than 0 but (considerably) less than 20 percent. Your mileage may vary.”
Hillary Clinton has an 81% chance of winning the election to Donald Trump’s 19%, polling analyst Nate Silver said on July 29, 2016 in his first model of the 2016 presidential election.  Silver got it wrong.  His methodology is as rigorous as that of a strip mall physician in The Simpsons.
Perhaps Stelter and the crew at the Most Busted Name In News should stick to hourly box truck updates and how many Diet Cokes® the President consumes.

CNN Reports: There’s A Big, Scary, Mysterious White Truck Over There

CNN suddenly finds it imperative for them to document every stroke President Trump takes on the golf course as part of a functioning democracy.
A mysterious truck blocked CNN's view of President Trump's golf course in West Palm Beach, FL one day after the network peddled "exclusive" footage of the President hitting the links.
The owner of the truck or the motive, if there is any, for why it parked where it did, has yet to be revealed.
Dan Merica, political producer for the Crybaby News Network said on-air, “Today, a big white box truck parked in front trying to obscure our shot of President Trump golfing. Now it may seem trivial, but it is important to give video as the President does these things on a daily basis. And goes to something that is larger, the President and the White House have tried to obscure the fact that President Trump golfs on a regular basis.”
The notion “the White House has tried to obscure the fact that President Trump golf on a regular basis" was fried, dyed and laid to the side by this statement from the Secret Service: "The USSS is in the business of protection and investigations not in commissioning vehicles to block the media's view of the President's golf swing." 
If this story seems like much ado about nothing, you’d be right.  Then along came Mollie Hemingway, Senior Editor at The Federalist, with a tweet that won the Internet:
BOOM!
