Look What CNN Is Outraged Over Now

Look What CNN Is Outraged Over Now
See the source image"Big media have had plenty to be outraged over during the tough times they have been living through in the age of Trump the Terrible.  
When the New York Times writes its version of the history of Western civilization, today will be at the epicenter of what the paper will describe as the dark ages.
The media are outraged over the silly, like how President Trump gets two scoops of ice cream or doesn't have a pet dog in the White House.  
...There is no outrage over biased and malicious reporting, just the fake humility of acknowledging they were duped, again, then quickly moving on to the next outrage.  
This is exactly why Rush Limbaugh calls them the "drive-by media": they drive by a story, sputter fire and brimstone for a week or two, then quickly drive on after the story is debunked.
This week's outrage is from CNN itself over the fact that the network hired someone who worked in the Trump administration.
Here is the apparent problem.
CNN says it is hiring Sarah Isgur Flores, who most recently served in the Justice Department as Jeff Sessions' spokesman, to be a political editor in the Washington bureau. Flores is a longtime Republican political operative who previously worked for Carly Fiorina, Ted Cruz and Mitt Romney.
CNN employees, led by one of their gadflies, Brian Stelter, are fit to be tied, "[q]uestioning whether her sudden leap from the Trump administration to the CNN newsroom is an ethical breach."  
Oh, the outrage of a "revolving door" between administrations and newsrooms.  And the family relationships between Democrat administrations and journalists.
How about these "ethical breaches"?
CNN's senior vice president of newsgathering, Virginia Moseley, is married to Thomas R. Nides, who was a deputy secretary of state in the Obama administration..."
Long list, read all.
