SOTU schadenfreude: Watch CNN try to rationalize away its own instant poll showing 76% of viewers positive on Trump's SOTU
By Thomas Lifson

I don't think the suits at CNN anticipated either the quality of State of the Union speech that President Trump delivered or the positive public reaction to it when they went to the expense and trouble of an instant poll.  The segment they broadcast on it is a classic of rationalization, attempting to minimize the outcome that went so contrary to their own prejudices.  A stunning 59% were very positive, with another 17% somewhat positive, for a grand total of 76% – a landslide in anyone's book.

CNN and MSNBC are spewing the same delusional hatred of Trump this morning, not missing a beat after that stellar speech.

The media has painted themselves into a corner.  They cannot acknowledge that it was a good speech or that it was a popular speech.  They are making themselves unbelievable and irrelevant.
