It looks like it’s already too late to warn the members of the mainstream media not to strain anything while patting themselves on the back for ushering in the new golden age of political reporting.
Reporters at the New York Times and the Washington Post (with plenty of help from anonymous sources) kept a back-and-forth volley of bombshells coming all week long, but the credit for that really has to go to TIME and for raising the bar with its scoop on the president’s extra-large serving of ice cream at dessert.
CNN did its part for the resistance by following up on the ice cream scoop, and now it’s checking in with third graders to take their temperature on the president. Are elementary schoolers cooling on Trump?
These third-graders are too young to vote, but they have a lot to say about President Trump and politics https://t.co/HM0qzAg4Z9 pic.twitter.com/sENdVuloNJ

So now that (according to CNN) 3rd graders hold valid political opinions, should we let 3rd graders run our country?

Why not ask them to size up CNN.

This is not an interview, how about interviewing their teacher or parent who rehearsed the answers!

Lol, CNN is trying to manipulate 8 year olds. They're putting up a good fight I would call it a draw.

Disgraceful! Politicizing third graders. For shame. Teach them reading, writing, math, music and the arts and ethics. Not politics at age 8.

Shame on CNN. Baiting children with guided questions to disrespect the president. Not a Trump supporter but this biased reporting is wrong.

Shows you how the press can influence. That is why it is important to be fair and objective. Kids were smart though.
