    Anti-Trump media hysteria reaching a pinnacle

    This article is on the front page of CNN right now :

    http://edition.cnn.com/2017/08/23/po...ned/index.html

    It contains excerpts from a book by Hillary Clinton that hasn't yet been released. The following excerpt which reflects the front page headline makes up half the article :

    "In the book, the former secretary of state will describe what it was like to run against now-President Donald Trump as the first woman nominated by a major US political party.
    In one of the excerpts, Clinton specifically addressed how she felt to have Trump standing behind her during a debate at Washington University in St. Louis.
    "It was incredibly uncomfortable," she said, describing the moment. "He was literally breathing down my neck. My skin crawled. It was one of those moments where you wish you could hit pause and ask everyone watching, well, what would you do?"
    She continued: "Do you stay calm, keep smiling and carry on as if he weren't repeatedly invading your space? Or do you turn, look him in the eye and say loudly and clearly, 'Back up you creep, get away from me?' ... I kept my cool, aided by a lifetime of dealing with men trying to throw me off."

    First, that happened almost a year ago and there was no talk of any of that right after it happened. What is more important, it contains nothing factual other than that Trump was at one point standing behind her - according to television recordings at a normal distance.

    This reflects the level of anti-Trump hysteria ruling the media at the moment and it's difficult to see how it could get any worse as long as they decide to stay within the bounds of legality. CNN is just garbage at the moment. I'm certainly not a Trump supporter but I don't think I will trust CNN ever again.

    At the moment? They've always been that way. It took Trump being president for them to come out of the closet though.

    I can vividly recall when they were the visual propaganda apparatus of the Gulf war under Bush sr. Not quite the same tune...

    There were pictures floating around before President Trump was the nominee showing him and Hillary hugging in very friendly manner...they were used to discredit his 'Republican' affiliation. She was only cringing during the debate then...:)))
