mirror 7 minutes then went on to discuss his security clearance, and jay johnson s claimant that vladimir putin ordered cyber attacks in this country. msnbc didn t show the speech at all and instead a dedicated more time to brace yourselves the alleged collusion between trump and putin. joe counts joe, msnbc, they knor audiences print that doesn t bother me. cnn is supposed to be a news channel. they talk about trump a lot. here they have a chance to show trump talking, what are they talking about. there is one snapshot back in may, a nonrecognized state. a study showed that cnn talked about trump 92% of the time, from 4:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. if you watch the network and i watch it often because it s part of my job.
