I had a twitter convo with a CNN reporter today


It was Jeff Zeleny, who filed this report with CNN this morning: http://www.mediaite.com/tv/cnn-reporter-hillarys-story-about-signing-up-for-the-marines-seems-so-unusual/

I was particularly taken with this line from his story: “We do not have enough specifics actually to actually know if it’s true or not…”

I wish I knew how to post tweets, but I don't, so I'm going to post the text instead. I've taken my twitter handle off the exchange because..:

@NewDay @jeffzeleny “We do not have enough specifics actually to actually know" is now considered reporting?

Jeff Zeleny ‏@jeffzeleny 33m33 minutes ago

@<redacted> And what did I say after that? here's the story if you're interested in reading. http://cnn.it/1WMNzYe

@jeffzeleny You said nothing, really, except to intimate that something was strange about her story. It's the narrative: You can't trust her

@T<redacted> Narratives are easy to fix: Talk about it and explain, rather than refuse to comment about a story that sounds hard to believe.

@jeffzeleny I'll have to screencap that tweet because it encapsulates so much that's wrong with political journalism

Anyhow, I just found the entire thing incredible. He doesn't even pretend to justify the story EXCEPT as a narrative one about that lying, evil Clinton lady. I should say, as I've said elsewhere, that I'm not even a Clinton supporter necessarily; I support beating repubs more than a candidate right now. But the lack of concern about anything other than pushing the "dishonesty" bullshit annoyed the **** out of me.

That's all. Just wanted to vent.

I am sure the reporter thought you were bat shit crazy and ended the discussion.

Most people don't know this but the marines were actually Hillary's second choice, her first choice was to captain the Hindenburg. Oh! The humanity! The Zeppelin people told her she should go home and raise children and bake cookies.

Because why??

This primitive is a smart one, isn't she? Removes her twitter name from the conversation while seemingly unaware that one only need go to the reports tweets to find hers. Real brain-o material here, folks.

Ben Carson is late returning a library book and CNN sends a team of reporters looking for the librarian, fellow students, library assistants, etc.

hitlery says she tried to sign up for the Marines (at 27!) and the MSM says, "must be the truth."
