I am usually a defender of CNN and other news outlets as I have no problem with critical reporting. But today they are embarassing themselves. I just sat through two painful interviews where they pressed Trump supporters about the letter that he declined to send out praising McCain. I understand that it can be viewed as a petty act. But it was explained pretty accurately IMO from one of their guests. He said that if Trump had released a statement of praise it would get covered by the press as inauthentic and would become the story, the best thing for Trump to do right now is stay out of it and let the family grieve. I think that is spot on.
What killed me about CNN was the persistence of the anchors bringing up this letter over and over again while guests were clearly wanting to talk about McCain. This is the wrong situation to fill that desire to get Trump supporters on record criticizing the POTUS. We need to stop politicizing people’s deaths, it makes me sick.
Apologies that I don’t have a link to the interviews, I watched them on TV. It was the show New Day, which I normally enjoy. They failed big time today. Shame on them
