So it appears there is a limit to which CNSNews.com will serve as a servile stenographer and cheerleader for President Trump.
Trump's repeated Twitter attacks on his own attorney general, Jeff Sessions, got CNS' attention, and it fell in line with the rest of the right-wing media to let Trump know that this was a bridge too far for them by hurling "news" articles and columns at the issue:
- Leading Conservatives Defend AG Jeff Sessions Against Trump's Attacks (written by CNS managing editor Michael W. Chapman, so you know the order to do this came from on high)
- Rep. Gowdy Gets Trump’s Frustration With Sessions; Sen. Graham Says Lay Off
- Cruz: Sessions is a ‘Strong, Conservative Attorney General’
- Firing Sessions Would Send Chilling Signal to Trump’s Supporters
- It's Wednesday: Trump Dumps on Sessions Again
- Pence Praises Sessions' 'Good Work,' But Also Defends Trump's 'Candor'
- Coons: Democrats Will Try to Block Recess Appointment If Sessions Is Fired (in which CNS seemingly finds some Democratic obstructionism it can get behind)
There's also a story about the White House press secretary being asked about "the conservatives rallying behind Sessions," and not one but two pleas from the MRC's favorite radio host-slash-business partner, Mark Levin, for Trump to leave Sessions alone.
Why, it's almost as if CNS has a highly partisan editorial agenda dictated from outside the organization that has nothing to do with actual news and everything to do with advancing its right-wing ideology.
UPDATE: So committed to defending Sessions is CNS that editor in chief Terry Jeffrey penned an entire column on it, asserting that "American [sic] needs an honorable person leading the Justice Department, which is why Attorney General Sessions needs to stay."
