BRIAN STELTER, CNN HOST: But, first, I think we should take a little trip, take a trip with me that man right there. Let's go open a trip to President Trump's fantasyland.
Everything he says, it's rosy. Everything's up, everything's getting better he says even as Robert Mueller's probe is looking worse and worse for his White House. So, before I show what Trump is saying, I want to show you a brand new CNN poll out this morning. It's new approval ratings data showing President Trump at 35 percent.
This matches his record low in CNN's polling and he remains at a historically low level for a president at this point in his presidency. Thirty-five percent.
I want to show that data first before I show you the fantasy land version. This is the spin that's out there courtesy of Judge Jeanine Pirro on Fox News.

Stelter calls Fox "state-run TV"
STELTER: This ridiculous rhetoric has to stop. This is part of Trump's fantasyland.
First of all, the national debate about this should be about stopping all shootings, not just school shootings. It shouldn't just be about teachers and students.
Second, this is fantasyland thinking. Let's talk the Las Vegas massacre. There were many officers both at the concert and inside the Mandalay Bay Hotel and yet 58 people still died. We've got to provide the proper context for these ridiculous quotes that are out there. Even if President Trump prefers to live in a fantasy land, journalists have to at least try to help him see the reality.
It's hard to say what's more frightening... whether Trump actually believes most of what he hears on Fox, or the fact that his brainwashed lemmings are right there with him immersed in the same poison.
State run TV tells Dear Leader what he wants to hear, and he loves them for it.

PravdaUSA was always Roger Ailes wet dream. Now it is here, clearly. And only now does one journalist on one cable news channel dare say the obvious. Where is CBS, NBC, ABC? Too busy counting their tax break money?

(6,829 posts)58 dead AND OVER FIVE HUNDRED WOUNDED! I would think that in our most recent conflicts, for any given battle, the carnage of real war pales in comparison to our best recent record on mass murder?
And, being cynical, there's probably some whack job arming up to beat that record right this minute. The new normal. The new Lottery by Shirley Jackson, revised for 2018, edition.
How many more human sacrifices before our Second Amendment God is satisfied?
