Why does Donald Trump bash CNN as an ideological purveyor of fake news out to get him? Just look at the cable network’s app and see what headlines they are blasting out to viewers. Story after story shows an obsession with Trump and his children. No perspective is apparently needed.
As of 11:37pm ET on Tuesday night, four out of the top five stories on the CNN app were about Trump Jr. What was demoted to the fifth story? “Special ops forces among 16 dead in Marine Corps plane crash.”
Here are some examples:
Just how skewed is the CNN app? Way down at the number eight spot is this: “Earth’s sixth mass extinction is more severe than we thought.” Well, that sounds bad. But back to Trump. The next one reads, “Tapper to Trump Jr.: Why so many lies?”
One right after another, they obsess, “Kaine: Trump Jr. may have committed treason,” “The 6 most troubling parts of Don Jr.’s e-mail exchange with Rob Goldstone,” “Trump’s web of Russian ties grows with Miss Universe links.”
The stories continue, “Trump Jr.s e-mails undermine what the White House has been saying,” “Trump Jr.’s latest e-mail explanation to Sean Hannity doesn’t make any sense.” Two headlines back to back scream, “How much legal trouble is Donald Trump Jr. in?” and “Trump Jr. releases bombshell email chain.”
So, in case there is any question: Yes, CNN is out to get Trump. The network isn't even subtle about it.
