Thomas Wictor: CNN is News For Morons

in #cnn7 years ago

@CNN, news for morons:
http://www.cnn.com/2017/09/20/politics/john-kelly-donald-trump-oval-office-access/index.html

The story has THIS whopper:

The White House Chief of Staff has no authority to determine who gets US Secret Service protection. Here's the relevant law regarding the US Secret Service: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/3056

The Director of Homeland Security determines who gets US Secret Service protection. Some people MUST legally accept protection, and others can turn it down.

The threat assessment against Kellyanne Conway was changed: http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/opinion/the-conversation/sd-donald-trump-jr-declines-secret-service-protection-20170919-story.html

I'm not surprised to see that Jim Acosta has no idea what the hell he's talking about. That guy will repeat whatever he's told.

I never had kids, but I've seen them when they're in the repeating phase. My mother told me that I could repeat everything except for "window." Mom would say, "Window," and I'd go, "Huh?"

Jim Acosta needs to start asking, "Huh?" before he mindlessly repeats what he's told.

Sort:  

Are you familiar with Field McConnell of Abel Danger? He seems to think Kelly is going to do something to eliminate Serco, Incorporated from controlling the U.S. military.

Both Field McConnell and General John Kelly, Trump's white house chief of staff, are both former US Marines. They have a bond, I guess, but I don't thin Kelly is going to help bring any of the criminals to justice.
