Media horrified after Trump tweets video body-slamming CNN

[FakeNews]

Journalists reacted in horror Sunday morning after President Trump tweeted a fake video that showed him body-slamming “fraud news” CNN in a fake wrestling match.

While many of the president’s supporters online reacted to the video with humor, the consensus among journalists seemed to be that Trump was inciting violence against the media.

“It is a sad day when the President of the United States encourages violence against reporters,” CNN said in a statement responding to the tweet.

“Around the world, journalists are murdered with impunity on a regular basis,” Poynter managing editor Ben Mullin gravely stated. “This isn’t funny.”

CNN commentator Ana Navarro called the tweet “an incitement to violence” in an appearance on ABC News. “He is going to get somebody killed in the media,” she claimed.

The perpetual outrage machine's buttons need help. Someone call OSHA!

So let me see if I have this right. Kathy Griffin holding a severed Trump head is over the top and unpatriotic but Trump allegedly body slamming an American citizen is not?

This is not normal. This is not appropriate.

The amount of rationalizing required for this man's behavior has reached insane proportions.

Agreed. I think at this rate he is going to lose the support of all liberals, not just the histrionic liberal feminists that he lost with those unfortunate Mika tweets.

He should lose the respect of anyone with a brain. Or at least a modicum of emotional and personal self control.

 

[LincolnDuncan]

yes..........

Care to explain your logic?

Irrelevant. You're comparing apples and oranges.

The former is a stupid failed comedian... The latter is... aahhh... as you were, yes, I see what you're saying.

It is pretty ironic that he uses a doctored "professional wrestling" skit to try to make a point about fakery. Maybe he has a sense of humor after all.

Did Trump make the video?

Well...

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

According to the BBC, the altered video originally surfaced on a pro-Trump Reddit forum.



So he retweeted something funny. That's nothing like what the failed comedian did...



Go after the actual makers of the video.

No sense of humor on the left.

Surely an unmitigated disaster.

It probably only cost a few hundred dollars for Trump to have the video made for him.

Who has the copyright to the original content, hmmm?

 

[hillblazer]

I didn't watch it until this morning. With everyone going so insane I thought it was going to be bad. I laughed my ass off when I finally watched it.

Oh, so did I. Here's the man who rails about fake news, posting a video of himself participating in a fake fight.

Says the guy who just tried to create fake news...

He already has.

All that's left are people like JBJ, 4est gump, and busybody. His base.

Let's see...on one hand we have a president who posts really dumb shit on Twitter and on the other hand we have a president who gives $500B to the world's largest state sponsor of terror (among other things).

Yeah, I know it was their money, but that's beside the point.

Spare me the phony outrage.

So help me God."

Someone should do a similar video of members of the military defending the first amendment by doing a beat down of Trump after him attacking the CNN guy.

The Saudi arms deal Trump did was only $110B, not $500B

First there was speculation that the video clip came from Reddit, and some guy took credit for it. Then doubts sprang up after differences were seen in the clip. Now the White House is denying that the video came from Reddit, but won't say where it came from.

Pretty much pins it on the Trump admin for creating the thing and being guilty of incitement.
