Newt Gingrich, the former Trump advisor and former speaker of the house, has been taking flak from CNN. His crime was two (see picture above) seemingly contradictory tweets. Mr Gingrich went from calling Robert Mueller, the man investigating Trump, a “superb choice” to labeling him unfair based on who he is bringing on his team. The punishment for this crime- repeated lambasting by every CNN anchor for a twenty-four hour period.
However, not one journalist bothered to research what Newt was talking about to see if there was a reason for his turnaround. If they did look into the hires Newt mentioned, they would have seen that Newt had a rationale for his new position. CNN never even mentioned one of these hires in their snarky reporting. Had they bothered to look into it, they would have noticed Mueller hiring a series of Clinton faithful as explained by Zerohedge here. This is not to say these people are inherently biased but it’s a valid discussion point.
Maybe twitter needs to lower the character limit of tweets from 140 so CNN can keep up.
UPDATE: Chris Cuomo did bring up the reasoning for Gingrich complaint. He did more than only pointing out the face-value inconsistency.
