Pls. consider sending a thank you to CNN and other media who stand up to Trump.

As you know, CNN refused to have Conway on the Sunday shows because she is a liar.
" “serious questions about her credibility.” in their words.
Conway then said it was HER decision to skip the shows "b/c of family"
CNN fired back, repeating their reason for not asking her on.

then today..

." Spicer falsely insisted that CNN had “retracted” that claim."

“Frankly, my understanding is that they retracted that,” Spicer told reporters at Tuesday’s White House press briefing. “They walked that back or denied or however you want to put it, I don’t care.”

Within 12 minutes, CNN had posted a statement refuting Spicer’s claim.

“CNN was clear, on the record, about our concerns about Kellyanne Conway to the New York Times and others,” a statement posted to Twitter read. “We have not ‘retracted’ nor ‘walked back’ those comments. Those are the facts.”

I sent a Twet to CNN thanking them for holding to the facts in face of WH pressure.
I think that they, and any other news source deserves to hear that we appreciate their standing up to Trump....

btw....I still don't watch tv news, but they do deserve kudos anyhow.
