CNN continued its all-out war with President Trump Wednesday; bizarrely suggesting that a GOP victory in the Arizona special election was somehow a win for Democrats.
“CNN has projected that Republicans won the special election in Arizona’s 8th Congressional District, but once again Democrats have over-performed in a deep red district, in another sign the national environment is in the their favor,” writes the left-leaning network.
“In every one of the nine [special elections] so far, Democrats have outperformed the partisan baseline based on the prior two presidential elections,” the author adds.

GOP candidate Debbie Lesko won the House special election in Arizona Tuesday night; fending off a fierce fight from her Democratic challenger and holding a pivotal district carried by Donald Trump in the 2016 election.
As the polls closed, Lesko defeated Democrat Hiral Tipirneni by a margin of 53% to 47%, dashing liberal hopes of turning the red seat blue heading into the high-stakes 2018 midterms.
CNN SNOWFLAKE: Jim Acosta ‘DISAPPOINTED’ in Trump’s Davos Speech
CNN’s senior White House correspondent Jim Acosta took his war against President Trump global this week, saying he was “disappointed” the Commander-in-Chief took a jab at the “fake news” media during his speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
Acosta’s comments were in response to President Trump’s harsh words towards the mainstream media, telling the global gathering that he never realized how “vicious” and “fake” the press could be until he entered the political arena.
“As a businessman I was always treated really well by the press […] It wasn’t until I became a politician that I realized how nasty, how mean, how vicious, and how fake the press could be,” said Trump.

It’s too bad the founder and exec chairman of #WEF18 didn’t take exception to Trump remarks on press. Disappointing.

CNN DENIED: President Trump Deploys GIANT TRUCK to Cut-Off CNN Crew
A mysterious white truck appeared out of nowhere and effectively blocked CNN reporters from filming President Trump while golfing during his holiday visit to Mar-a-Lago on Thursday; cutting-off the camera crew from hounding the Commander-in-Chief while relaxing on the links.
CNN’s Don Lemon commented on the truck’s surprise appearance while speaking with the network’s White House correspondent, asking the reporter to explain the mysterious incident.
“Our job down here is to cover the President and to tell our viewers what he’s doing on a daily basis […] There’s a break in the hedges,” said the journalist.
“Today, a big white box truck parked in front of the hedges trying to obscure our shot of President Trump golfing,” he added. “This may seem trivial, but it’s important to get video of the President as he does things on a daily basis.”
