Just got the latest CNN alert on my phone.

quote:

President Trump, in a tweet, says he will "send in the Feds" if the city doesn't fix "horrible 'carnage' going on.".


Um, CNN...which city???

BTW...Yes, I know Trump was referring to Chicago. But it looks like CNN was having too big of a collective aneurysm to remember to include the city Trump was referring to.

ETA: CNN just sent alert to correct their screw up

quote:

Clarification: President Trump tweets that he will "send in the feds" to Chicago if the city doesn't fix "horrible 'carnage' going on."

It's more the "carnage" being in quotation marks that gets me.

Well to be fair they had a sitting president call them fake news again tonight. They probably are shitting themselves.

Is that not the word Trump used and did he not put in in quotes himself? If so (and you know he did), are you also going to say he is starting to lose it too? My money is on a big fat NO

CNN doesn't think a lot of black dead people count as carnage?

CNN is all about the Feds coming in when one black guy is killed.

Hundreds of black guys killed? Not so much.

I'm no MSM supporter, but are you seriously losing sleep over the fact that they said city instead of Chicago? Some of y'all seriously need to take a breath and find a hobby.

It's journalism 101 dude.

Who, what, when, where, why, how.

Which city Trump is referring to is sort of key to the whole story, no?

It's like the Falcons beating the Pats in the Super Bowl and sending out a news alert that says "Team wins Super Bowl LI 37-34 in overtime."

That's what he tweeted.

If Chicago doesn't fix the horrible "carnage" going on, 228 shootings in 2017 with 42 killings (up 24% from 2016), I will send in the Feds!

You're petaling. Men here don't care about each and every analysis or at least I didn't think so

Right and it is IN the story.. CNN provided the story link in their tweet. It gets people clicking. It's internet news clickbait by journalists 101.
