close Video Dems ready to investigate Trump as Pelosi talks compromise Probable House committee chairs hint at the prospect of subpoenas, hearings and investigations of all things Trump; Doug McKelway reports from Capitol Hill. The incoming chairman of the House Intelligence Committee this week said that when the new Congress is seated in January, Democrats plan to scrutinize whether President Trump abused his authority by taking adverse action against retail giant Amazon and two of his bitter left-leaning media rivals: CNN and The Washington Post. Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said in an interview with "Axios on HBO" that he and his colleagues will employ committee subpoena powers -- which are backed by the legal threat of contempt of Congress -- to conduct the triple-threaded inquiry into Trump's possible use of the "instruments of state power to punish the press." Specifically, Schiff charged that Trump "was secretly meeting with the … [Read more...] about Dems to probe Trump’s treatment of CNN, Amazon, Washington Post in triple-threaded abuse-of-power inquiries

Nolte: Prior to Antifa Attack, CNN Relentlessly Demonized Tucker Carlson
CNN was on a crusade to demonize Tucker Carlson as a racist in the days and weeks leading up to the left-wing terrorist group Antifa’s Wednesday night attack on the Fox News anchor’s home. According to the official police report, and while Carlson’s wife was home alone, “a group of approximately 20 people” assembled “in front of her home. They had a bullhorn and were chanting loudly.” The police found “an anarchy symbol” spray painted on the driveway. “Signs were left on vehicles left in the driveway as well as a sign left on the front door.”Prior to calling the police, Carlson’s wife of 22 years “reports she heard loud banging and pounding on her front door.” The incident is being investigated as a politically-motivated hate crime.

Letters: CNN’s Jim Acosta, Democrats, Blue Wave, caravan of migrants, Scott Burns
Not presidential behaviorRe: "White House cuts CNN reporter's access," Thursday election briefs. There is a reason parents don't swear or use abusive language in front of their children. They are role models, as they should be. Over and over, editorials and opinion pieces beg us to use civility and restraint when addressing each other. Yet our potty-mouth-in-chief continues to model rude and divisive language and bullying behavior. In the latest example, he called a CNN reporter a "rude and a terrible person." His supporters think this is just fine because he's being "plainspoken" and "speaking truth to power." The majority of American citizenry should take the high road and set an example for him and his minions, while they appeal to baser instincts and follow from behind.Christina Ball, DallasAnother red line has been crossed I get it. The media is the merriment these days. The talk-show hosts and late-night stand-up "commentators" hardly need to think or to have … [Read more...] about Letters: CNN’s Jim Acosta, Democrats, Blue Wave, caravan of migrants, Scott Burns
Trump denies claims that video of clash with CNN reporter was doctored
News / World by Press Association 09/11/2018, 4:20 pm FacebookTwitterWhatsAppEmail Send us a story Sign up to our Daily newsletter Donald Trump has denied suggestions that a White House-released video depicting contact between a staffer and a CNN reporter was not altered, and he seemingly threatened to revoke the White House press credentials of more reporters. The president insisted that the video distributed by White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was simply a “close-up” and “was not doctored”. “Nobody manipulated it. All that is is a close-up,” said the president, who then attacked the reporter for asking the question and called him “dishonest”. A frame-by-frame comparison with an Associated Press video of the incident at Mr Trump’s post-election news conference on Wednesday shows that the video tweeted by Ms Sanders appears to speed up CNN reporter Jim Acosta’s arm movement when he … [Read more...] about Trump denies claims that video of clash with CNN reporter was doctored
