Liberal bias as usual. Not surprised at all.

It's not going to stop either.

Even more pathetic that it was written by the same so called "journalist" too.

CNN right now is acting like this is Watergate. "OMG Trump firing all U.S. Attorneys."

But they forget that in 1993, Bill Clinton had Janet Reno fire 93 US Attorneys.

Very biased and slanted.

But frankly that's the least of their problems. Open collusion with the DNC and lack of professionalism is a bigger hit to their credibility than biased or slanted news.

Yep, and Bush 43 still got hammered by the media when he did it.

Yep Supedude - If you graze the headline it's a difference of (basically) two words.



Yet, if you'd bother to read more....The one line articles (talking points) describe very different methods. One guy (the AG) reports they're changing attorneys one batch at a time, some now and some in a few weeks, thereafter. While the other guy (the AG) reports they're shite canning someone who the Prez had previously asked to stay on.

Most (open minded) people would have little problem understanding or describing the first action as a replacement, nor would they have a problem saying the man in the second was ousted.

Yes, there may be more to the story. But this is all the a-hole gave us to work with. Three lines each, a headline, a dek ("deck copy" or "bank."), and byline. As you most eloquently pointed out the same journalist wrote both. So we the reader might assume he's chosen these words to precisely convey the story, rather than the publication (paper,mag,blog...) actually missing the point.

while another might more pathetically cry bullshite.

There's also the matter of the date/time in bylines. In the first these actions are an ongoing process five months underway and still proceeding to be worked out, in a slower more methodical manner. Some now, more to come, a replacement. And in the second we are being told that at three months a mass ejection was ordered and a man who had (sometime lately) been promised a job, was now being included as well. A ration person would not have much problem describing this second action an ouster.

Could there be more to the story? ...is there an agenda? ...and by whom?

Dems to Reps- it's customary that tax returns be released. Trump is a POS for not doing so. Dems get bent out of shape because he doesn't.

Reps to Dems - it's customary that attorneys step down from previous admin when asked to. Again, Dems get bent out of shape because Trump did ask them to. Trump is a POS.

Dems - go figure them huh?
