Fascinating how CNN called Mount Rushmore "majestic" and "quite a sight" in 2008 when Obama visited, but now its a symbol of slavery and stolen land

Is that ***rubs eyes*** Jim Acosta saying Mount Rushmore is a "fitting campaign stop for a presidential contender"?

cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/08…
In 2016, CNN's Jeff Zeleny called Mount Rushmore a "monument to four great American Presidents"

Bernie Sanders said "this is our country at its very best," called it an "incredible achievement," and said it "really does make one very proud to be an American."

This is nonsense and an insult to the men and women at the CDC, HHS, and other public health agencies who have been working on coronavirus since early January

The CDC set up its incident management system for coronavirus on Jan 7
This was before the first death was even reported out of China, and during a period when the Chinese were still claiming there was "no evidence" the virus could spread between humans

nytimes.com/2020/01/10/wor…
To put this in perspective, when the CDC started responding to the coronavirus outbreak, the House still had not sent articles of impeachment to the Senate...and wouldn't for another week

Incredible contrast between @NYTimes reporter tweet versus full quote

Full quote makes it clear President Trump said the federal government will help states; cut off quote makes it appear just the opposite
Not just one tweet either

Apparently deliberately misrepresenting what the President said on the call is a thing in the @nytimes newsroom today

So at least four times, including from the paper's twitter account, @nytimes reporters deliberately cut off the quote to misrepresent what President Trump said
