IN THE MATTER OF CNN – AT 10:33 A.M. ET:  The president really took off at CNN during his press conference yesterday...and he was right.  The anti-Trump barrage from the network is relentless, beginning from early in the morning to late at night.

And it didn't start recently.  From Daily Caller:  

You may think Trump is too harsh on CNN.

But take a look at how the network treated Trump back in November.

Less than a week after Trump won the election, a cadre of CNN employees made their way to the Ronald Reagan Building in downtown Washington to attend the 2016 International Center for Journalists awards dinner.

CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer was the emcee of the November 14, 2016 event. Zucker, CNN’s Worldwide president, was also there — sitting near the front of the ballroom — where he had the pleasure of witnessing two of his employees receive awards.

First up was Clarissa Ward, a war correspondent for the network, who gave a gracious speech about how journalists “have to listen to voices we don’t want to hear.”

Carmen Aristegui, on the other hand — whose popular show airs on CNN Espanol — compared Trump to Adolf Hitler.

The Mirror requested a comment from Zucker as well as a CNN publicist. Neither answered our questions.

In a speech that, at times, stunned the audience into silence, the Mexican journalist began by saying “[t]he triumph of Donald Trump has left us shaken. We are all still in a state of shock.”

And...

Twice during her speech, Aristegui dramatically raised two fingers to her upper lip to emphasize Trump’s supposed similarities to Hitler.

COMMENT:  CNN now says that it will hold the Trump administration to account.  That's fine.  But when did it ever hold the Obama administration to account? 

The president yesterday said that he'd inherited a mess.  Yes he had.  And it was news outlets like CNN that defended that mess, or looked the other way.

I find CNN unwatchable, but I have to watch it to understand what media is doing.   Media is destroying itself by destroying its credibility.
