CNN and MSNBC Helped Russia Sow Discord by Promoting Fake Anti-Trump Rally ~ Hey, whatever helps advance their Trump=evil narrative ~
November 12 coverage showed (that) both CNN and MSNBC gave enthusiastic coverage to the Russian-organized anti-Trump rally that day, with live reports every hour. Correspondents celebrated the idea that it was “a love rally,” and repeated the marchers’ anti-Trump mantras, such as: “We reject the President-elect.” […]
Of course, none of the networks were aware of who was allegedly behind the march, but CNN and MSNBC reveled in the inflammatory messages of the march. At one point, MSNBC anchor Alex Witt credulously responded to the ridiculously alarmist rhetoric: “That woman, when she’s saying she’s concerned that black people will be shot in the street….Is that a legitimate concern for her? Because, that’s scary.”

Many countries that have differences put them aside for two weeks as they compete for gold. But of course, there are realities that don’t go away during the games.
