As Twitchy reported earlier, Chris Cillizza seriously stepped on his own … foot this morning with this fairly petty and melodramatic slam on Trump and 9/11:
No big deal — just the president of the United States watching a taped Fox Business Channel show on the 17th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and with a massive hurricane moving toward the east coast…

Blah blah blah.
But you know, journalists don’t ever pick a political side or something.
Amber Athey just absolutely nuked him (this was REALLY good):
You might have a decent criticism here if @CNN weren't covering Trump's falling approval ratings while @VP was paying tribute to 9/11 victims at the Pentagon https://t.co/rQ3iSAySvE

Wait, what was CNN reporting on when Pence was paying tribute to victims of 9/11 at the Pentagon and with a major hurricane headed for the east coast?
— Amber Athey (@amber_athey) September 11, 2018
Classssssssy, with an emphasis on a*sy.
Who are they losing ratings to now? NatGeo Wild?

We heard an infomercial is beating them in certain portions of Montana.
Heh.
No one ever accused @cnn of overt patriotism.

Or of not being total hypocrites.
Do you think CNN & MSNBC are taking a day off for 9/11 from attacking POTUS? They are claiming that Trump is a bigger danger than islamic terrorism. Give me a break. It's because he makes fighting a priority that he wins unlike the only Republicans the MSM likes, those who lose.

Nah, if anything they are using 9/11 to attack Trump.
And good point.
CNN lost any moral ground
