CNN rips Fox and Friends: A daily infomercial designed to sell a product the Trump presidency

"SNIP..............


CNN media critic — and new dad — Brian Stelter blasted Cox News’ morning show “Fox and Friends” as empty-headed pro-Trump propaganda on Sunday, calling it “a daily infomercial for the Trump presidency.”

Mediaite.com reported that Stelter opened Sunday’s segment by saying, “What would a daily infomercial for the Trump presidency look like? Actually, we don’t have to wonder. We have the answer right in front of us. It’s called ‘Fox & Friends.’”

He pointed out that the morning show is President Trump’s consistently “safe space” where he can give interviews untroubled by difficult questions or awkward confrontations.

“It’s all about optimism about Trump and resentment about his opponents,” Stelter said and the hosts and pundits who appear use mind-numbing repetition and obfuscation to drive their points home.

some clown on a show called Watters' World was saying that coming up next was a "high-profile Democrat" who is warning his party that the Russia investigation will backfire.

That got my attention as I was curious what "high-profile Democrat" would go on that joke of a station.

It was Dershowitz.

After that I was only listening with half an ear, but I'm pretty sure he started the segment by referencing the fact that Dershowitz is definitely a Democrat because he has seen him vacationing at Martha's Vineyard.

Dershowitz's lips are so firmly planted on Trump's behind they're starting to grow roots.
