CNN's Camerota: 'It's Our Job' to Teach Viewers To 'Shut Down' Conservative Arguments
By Joseph Chalfant | June 14, 2019 5:15 PM EDT

On Friday's New Day, coverage again returned to a recent ABC News interview in which President Trump expressed a willingness to accept foreign information about political opponents. A panel of guests gathered around to spew their takes on the situation, with host Alisyn Camerota livid at Fox News and Republicans for pointing out that the Clinton campaign received dirt on Trump from Russia in 2016.
 

Camerota was blind to the correlation between the DNC-funded Steele dossier and the situation Trump described during his interview. Christopher Steele, a former British spy, was employed by Fusion GPS to obtain information on the Trump campaign during the 2016 election. Steele used Russian sources to gather this information. The fact that it’s a crime for a foreign national to provide information of “value” to a candidate to influence an election is a violation of federal law was lost on the host:

    ALISYN CAMEROTA: One of the things on the right the talking point you hear over and over again on Fox and you hear from the President's surrogates, Hillary Clinton did it.

Sorry Camerota, it's your job to report the news without editorializing it.

'He' is a she.   Alisyn Camerota   

At least I think she is.   :laugh:

Just the other day, CNN hosts were claiming not to be partisan. Camerota used to be on Fox and Friends several years ago.

That's the point - they have no fear of being exposed now.  They can admit to what they believe and who they are.  We're the ones who should fear.

Very true. Even the last vestiges of journalism appear to be falling away, revealing unapologetic propagandists.

It's what happens when you make journalism an elite club: mandate college degrees and cut off the entry-level jobs in small towns. Groupthink gets amplified.

I disagree.  It’s when you lose the devotion to the truth in favor of a political agenda.

They aren't mutually exclusive, when one thinks about it.

I find her use of the term "shut down" in this context troubling.  People are "shut down" all the time by ad hominum attacks like cries of "raciss!"

I agree that the use of the term “shut down” is the most troublesome part.
