CNN's Toobin Rewrites History: Unlike Trump, Obama Had No Scandals!

. . . "This is the way Washington works now. You go work in the White House, you sort of presume you're going to end up having to hire a lawyer for better or for worse,” she shrugged. That’s when CNN’s chief legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin jumped in to argue this was only a Trump problem, not a politics problem:

“ 'You know, people in Barack Obama's White House, they didn't have to hire lawyers because there were no scandals. It's true,” Toobin gushed. Trying not to appear partisan, he quickly added, “George W. Bush, there were no scandals to speak of in the White House there.”

"Borger agreed. “That's the way it is now. It's the way it is now,” she stated. Toobin continued defending Obama:

“ 'Well, no, I don't think it's just the times. I think it's the presidency,” he stated, adding, “[I]t's like not all presidents are the same. I mean, this is a president who is under investigation for good reason.' ” . . .

Fox News should be renamed RNNN (Republican National News Network) because of its close alignment with the a Republican Party and its radically right bias.

"Of all the U.S. news channels, CNN is certainly the most unbiased. However, as with all U.S. based new channels, CNN reports predominantly US news." . . .
