CNN deserves every pox it gets



Couldn'ta happened to a better bunch of guys.

CNN's Tehran Reporter Throws Softballs, Eggs On Iranian Spokesman to Echo CNN on Trump   "On Monday evening CNN's Brian Stelter tweeted that is patriotic to question and be skeptical of leaders who may stumble into a war. Apparently such sentiment only goes one way at CNN as CNN's Fred Pleitgen was in Tehran for a softball interview on Tuesday with Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif that ended up being just another one of the network's many anti-Trump segments.
"Pleitgen asked Zarif, "Your government and your leadership and the military here has vowed to take action against the United States. What kind of retaliation is that going to be?" Zarif then rattled off his talking points:" . . .
. . . "At that point Pleitgen could've challenged Zarif. Why was Kata'ib Hezbollah trying kill Americans in Iraq, despite the fact that we are there with the permission of the Iraqi government? Why was Soleimani in Iraq? If the desire of the Iraqi people is that the U.S. leave, then why has the Iran-friendly prime minister been forced to resign? Why did the Sunni and Kurdish parties boycott the vote he referenced?
"But he didn't:" . . . 
What serious press agency would ever hire any of these people from CNN? I had respected Jake Tapper but cannot fathom why he chooses to stay part of that disreputable demagogue press. TD
