http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/jason-miller-trump-campaign-cnn_us_58c035c3e4b0ed71826907ce?q5154s4i&CNN Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter on Sunday appeared struck by former Trump senior communications adviser Jason Miller arguing that anonymous sources providing information and materials to journalists are doing so in an effort to attack the president.
Stelter suggested that the motivations of sources may rather be to inform people and that perhaps these unnamed individuals were whistleblowers. He then asked Miller if the Trump team shares the view that such disclosures are attacks.
Well, they are, Miller replied.
Miller said Trump is constantly being faced with these attacks from these nameless, faceless, anonymous sources, and expected to respond and defend himself. And the media, he said, has a responsibility to draw the line on these leaks and attacks that are coming at the president.
Three days later, Miller joined the media as a paid contributor on CNN.

I guess they really are the Fake News now. Instead of being a voice of the 4th estate, and a check on the government, they decided it was better to join em instead of fight em. Golly gee Donnie, can we be part of the press conference now?

I read Jason Miller, but my brain was registering Stephen Miller. I was going to write, "I hadn't even heard he'd be let go by the Trump administration."
But then reality dawned on me.

Girl pregnant. He, may have had KAC's job. They announced him on CNN, and like 6 hrs later, he was already gone.

They can't resist the allure of Trumpkins. After they hired Lewandowski, I've tried to never even go to their website.
