OMFG! They really are out of their minds. Brian Stelter, one of CNN’s most argent Trump haters (and Hillary Clinton cheerleaders) actually had the audacity to see that he doesn’t see CNN or the New York Times as “rooting for any president.” What a complete load of bullshit! CNN licked Obama’s poop hole every chance they got over the last eight years. They bashed George W. Bush every second they were on the air, and are not into overdrive with their bashing of Trump. The same is true of the New York Times. But Brian Stelter has the nerve to claim CNN and the New York Times doesn’t root for any president? You just can’t make this stuff up!
| Hah! Stelter: We don’t see CNN or New York Times ‘Rooting for any President’ |

CNN media reporter Brian Stelter said Friday that outlets like CNN and the New York Times never show favor for any president during a segment about the Trump administration’s decision to block some news organizations from an off-camera press briefing.
CNN, the New York Times, BuzzFeed, and Politico were among the outlets not allowed into Friday’s gaggle, while admission was granted to NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox News, and conservative news outlets like One America News, Breitbart, and the Washington Times. The Associated Press and Time reportedly boycotted the gaggle in protest.
Stelter said the Trump administration has been “stacking the deck” with friendly news outlets, referring to Press Secretary Sean Spicer’s habit of calling on right-leaning groups at briefings.
“We don’t see CNN or the New York Times rooting for any president, whether a Democrat or a Republican,” Stelter said. “But the Breitbarts of the world, they do root for candidates and root for presidents. There’s not anything necessarily wrong with that. It’s a point-of-view form of journalism.”
While CNN and the New York Times do not purport to have a point of view, they are routinely criticized for left-leaning reporting. Just last week, CNN took criticism for tweeting out a video mocking Trump’s hand gestures during a news conference. The network is a routine target of Trump’s tirades against “fake news.”
