USADaily -
In rather astounding news, CNN reportedly turned down an offer from the White House to have senior adviser Kellyanne Conway go on the network this past Sunday because they had concerns about her credibility.
Conway recently claimed, for the third time, that a terrorist massacre occurred at Bowling Green, Kentucky — the Bowling Green Massacre, Conway calls it.
It never happened.
The NYT’s Jim Rutenberg reports:
Yet by the end of the weekend, it was Ms. Conway’s credibility that was receiving the most scrutiny (which she described as unfair and coming from “a lot of the haters” in her interview with Mr. Kurtz).
Some, like the New York University journalism professor Jay Rosen, were calling upon the television networks to stop booking her. And CNN declined to have her as a guest on Sunday — in part because the Trump administration offered her in lieu of Vice President Mike Pence, but also because of what the network told me were “serious questions about her credibility.”
Now, all of this happens in the larger framework of Trump’s White House previously refusing to let any of their staff or surrogates go on CNN. So it’s interesting that CNN begged to have Conway on, and it’s doubly interesting that CNN told her to take a hike.
Conway insists she pulled the plug on the appearance. CNN, which has more credibility than the lying Trump White House, says otherwise.
