Time Magazine reports Trump has ditched the bust of MLK – of course we know that’s totally false and Sean Spicer was CORRECT to identify who the reporter was, especially since the reporter IDENTIFIED HIMSELF VIA HIS TWEET.
This infuriated the press corps.
Next Trump at the CIA… some people cheered, and as the Freebeacon has pointed out Politico even admitted this in an otherwise derogatory article.
CNN:
The CIA audience was separated into two sections: a main area of all agency staff and a separate section directly in front of the stage that consisted of senior agency leadership, including agents. During Trump’s address, the senior leadership stood the entire time. When Trump began drifting into political topics, the main crowd broke into cheers and applause at points. The senior leadership remained stoic, and did not applaud the political lines.The CIA, currently being led by Park, is lacking a permanent chief as the Senate has delayed Pompeo’s confirmation vote until Monday, with Democrats citing concerns about his positions on surveillance and other issues.Pompeo, who was at the CIA with Trump, has encountered some controversy after he submitted responses to a Senate questionnaire where he said he would consider bringing back waterboarding and other enhanced interrogation measures under certain circumstances.
Having actually listened to the questioning on this … in the Senate hearing, what Pompeo ACTUALLY SAID, was that if he felt the current rules on questioning left a situation where the USA and it’s people were in danger it would be his responsibility to REPORT THAT to the President (his boss), and to the Congressional oversight committees. How an answer could be more proper I can’t imagine.
The CNN reporter was: Ryan Browne, and CNN’s Jeff Zeleny and Kevin Liptak contributed to this story
Is it ANY WONDER that nothing is believed?
And more, widely reported …
“Former CIA Director Brennan is deeply saddened and angered at Donald Trump’s despicable display of self-aggrandizement in front of CIA’s Memorial Wall of Agency heroes,” Nick Shapiro said in a statement. “Brennan says that Trump should be ashamed of himself.”
Widely unreported, and typed here in the same spirit as CNN, widely unreported but deserving of public reminder every time Brennan opens his mouth to criticize anyone, the head of the American CIA, this same John Brennan, saved Osama Bin Laden’s life in 1998. Brennan should be ashamed of himself. So ashamed for the lives his insistence cost, that he should be humbly SILENT.

Quote: "... John Brennan, saved Osama Bin Laden’s life in 1998. Brennan should be ashamed of himself. So ashamed for the lives his insistence cost, that he should be humbly SILENT."
Actually, Brennan should have been FIRED and his loyalties questioned long ago.
Epa,
It is an excellent post!
Here is what I believe. A free press is truly only a free press when it is ethical, reporting is not pre-framed based on a desired narrative, and questions not leading.
MSM will continue to be dishonest, but things are going to change right before their eyes and there is nothing they can do about it.
I decided weeks ago not to renew my subscription to Time Magazine. I will miss the online Time Vault, though.

I love the Spicer called out the "reporter"!
The mainstream press and media had better recognize that there's a new sheriff in town.
