A President who’s a publicity hound, and will kill to get it. What to do?
Accuse the left of lying. (Man, is this Roman Senate or what? Not a spec of shame to be seen.) Here’s Erick Erickson’s frantic accusation:
Mark Thompson, the CEO of CNN, has a serious problem that came into sharp view yesterday. His network is suffering from institutional arrogance. We need them, it seems, but they do not need us.
Yesterday, CNN anchors and fact checkers lied to the CNN audience.
A network that once ran “this is a banana” ads and laments disinformation and misinformation, engaged in what amounts to institutional arrogance — an unwillingness to hold itself accountable for getting a story wrong.
On Tuesday, at 2:51 pm, CNN ran an exclusive story that the Defense Intelligence Agency’s preliminary assessment showed the United States only set Iran back by perhaps two months.
The story never noted that the DIA report was rated as “low confidence.”
Elaborately stated. That’s a red flag. What are we distracting from?
That’s right. Whatever the confidence of the DIA report might be, it’s better than the President’s utterances, spewed as he runs in circles trying to claim a share of the glory. He has a long history of disdaining his own intelligence agencies; he relies on his own intuition, always a mug’s game.
I wonder how many people died in his attacks?
Meanwhile, it sounds like SCOTUS‘ conservative wing is diligently working to insulate the President from the legal world. If this is so, that’s another pack of fools.
