    ‘We Got Played!’ CNN Reacts To Trump ‘Birther’ Troll Press Conference

    Top CNN employees are frustrated. They breathlessly went live to Donald Trump’s news conference at his new hotel in Washington D.C., only to wait helplessly as veterans stood up to explain why they support Trump as commander-in-chief.

    “It’s hard to imagine this as anything other than a political rick-roll,” anchor Jake Tapper said wryly as CNN cut away from the broadcast of the Trump event and asked him to comment.

    The Trump campaign signaled that the Republican presidential nominee would address the birther controversy, but the first 20 minutes of the event featured veterans telling the media why they supported Trump.

    CNN eventually cut away from the event – even as veterans continued to speak, as anchors griped that the event was not what they thought it was. But they were forced to return to Trump just minutes later as he made a short definitive statement that he believed that Obama was born in the United States.

    “I really don’t quite know what to make of that except for that we got played again by the Trump campaign which is what they do,” said John King afterward, pointing out that Trump tricked them into covering a live event.

    Meanwhile, Hillary impotently fumes...

    Hillary Clinton reacted angrily to Donald Trump’s press conference with military veterans on Friday, calling his actions “disgraceful.”

    “Trump’s actions today were disgraceful,” Clinton said in a statement. “After five years of pushing a racist conspiracy theory into the mainstream, it was appalling to watch Trump appoint himself the judge of whether the President of the United States is American.”

    The Trump campaign said that Republican presidential nominee would address questions about the President Obama “birther” storyline at the campaign event, but he waited until his veterans supporters finished speaking before making a statement.

    “President Barack Obama was born in the United States, period,” Trump said. “Now we all want to get back to making America strong and great again.”

    But Clinton was not pleased by Trump’s handling of the situation.

    “This sickening display shows more than ever why Donald Trump is totally unfit be president,” she said.

      so she gets mad if Trump says Obama wasn't born in the USA and gets mad if he says he WAS born in the USA.

      I guess she is just mad. as a hatter.

        Don't call it a comeback. It's a riposte.

          “We got other things to attend to,” Mr. Obama said while taking questions from the press after a meeting on promoting his Pacific free trade deal. “I was pretty confident about where I was born. I think most people were as well. My hope would be the presidential elect, election reflects more serious issues than that.”


          So what is Hillary talking about? The birther issue. Apparently, she didn't get Obama's memo.
          Hillary's trying to make a big issue of this, Obama says “We got other things to attend to...”
          The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

              It's obvious Hillary's team wrote the response before even seeing the press conference, because she referred to a campaign event featuring veterans as "disgraceful".

                      I think this is the best part: the impotent tears of rage from the anti-Trump brigade.

                        Yep... And they're mad because Trump denied them the opportunity to establish the narrative. Trump made the story about what HE wanted and not what THEY wanted.

                        Of course the question has to be asked: would they have cut away from Hillary under similar circumstances? I kinda doubt it.

                              Boy, Trump refusing to bow to the media really has them tied up in knots!

                              Source: Breitbart

                              Donald Trump’s latest slap at the media was apparently too much for CNN’s Ashleigh Banfield and Dylan Byers to take. While reporting Trump’s ribbing the two insisted that undermining the media is both turning the U.S. into Saddam Hussein’s Iraq and somehow destroying democracy.

                              Banfield played a clip of Trump’s September 14 rally in New Hampshire where the GOP nominee joked that the press was stuck on a plane. From the dais Trump told the crowd, “I have really good news for you, I just heard that the press is stuck on their airplane, they can’t get here. I love it.”

                              Trump then informed his audience the press wanted him to delay the start of the rally so they had time to get to the venue. Naturally he refused to put off the rally just to satisfy the press.

                              [...]

                              Sporting a look of concern, Banfield gazed into the camera and asked plaintively, “Why so much cheering?” She then said of the excited Trump supporters heard on the video clip, “Do people not realize, or are they forgetting the other critical element of it, either you have a media, or you have what I witnessed in Saddam’s era, and the Libyan’s era, where you never got to actually call yourself press or you’d go to jail for it.”
