‘WolfBlitzer is interviewing Trump on Tues (sic) ahead of his foreign policy address on Wed,’ Dillon wrote in the email that was entitled ‘CNN questions for Trump.’
Numerous questions were submitted by a group of DNC staffers and officials for 68-year-old Blitzer to ask the billionaire.
However, in a follow-up email, she informed the group of staffers that the Trump interview ended up being cancelled.
‘CNN said the interview was cancelled as of now but will keep the questions for the next one Good to have for others as well,’ Dillon wrote in the email.
DNC deputy communications director Christina Freundlich responded to Dillion’s email with ‘Boo’, seemingly showing that she was disappointed.
Blitzer, who has been working at CNN since 1990, did end up interviewing the real estate mogul on May 4.
That interview took place right after both Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich dropped out of the Republican presidential race as candidates.
A CNN spokeswoman told the Daily Mail Online the emails are ‘completely unremarkable’.
It’s only ‘unremarkable’ if you consistently make the same request of both sides. CNN is making that claim. However, when you have over 60 ‘journalists’ attending private dinners with Hillary Clinton, and you have Hillary being fed questions in advance for the CNN debate. Never mind the constant anti-Trump rhetoric that has come from CNN since Trump announced his candidacy. Let’s also not forget that after Trump won Indiana, Hillary went on CNN and told the media to start treating Trump more harshly. Wolf Blitzer was the first to do that the next day.
El Paso Democrat Beto O’Rourke launched his longshot campaign against Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) this week. The media went into full ‘circle the wagons’ mode almost immediately to cover up two big lies in his announcement speech.
His big lies happen at 2:30 in the video.
He claims El Paso, TX is the safest city in Texas, and in the United States. Both claims are patently false. However, when you Google his announcement, the media coverage, for the most part, does not acknowledge he said these two things. They rewrite his speech to say something to the effect of ‘he noted El Paso was one of the safest cities,’ or other similar revisions. Saying El Paso is the safest city in Texas and the US is very different from saying it is one of the safest cities. Which is a dubious claim on its own anyway.
While local politicians from San Diego to El Paso to the Rio Grande Valley routinely claim that their crimestatistics are continuously low, in reality those statistics don’t account for federal crimes that took place in their city such as kidnappings, drug trafficking and other spillover crimes.
Beto, and indeed many others in El Passo, have been using this ‘safest city’ propaganda for a while now. It’s just that, propaganda.
Niche.com’s 2016 rankings have El Paso as the 37th safest city. Not bad, but far from the safest city in the US.
Neighborhood Scout has El Paso in the bottom third for safety. A far cry from safest city.
Rape and assault in El Paso actually outpaces the national average.
Texas Monthly has El Paso ranked 13th for safest city in Texas. Not number 1.
Things are closer to the middle of the pack in El Paso and Laredo, which place at #13 and #10, respectively. The murder rate in each city is low, at 1.4 and 1.5 (Brownsville also comes in at 1.4, which is the second-lowest behind Abilene at 0.6). The numbers in El Paso, Laredo, and McAllen are all slanted heavily toward aggravated assault.
Safewise.com has El Paso as the 77th safest city in Texas. Again, not number 1.
The point is that El Paso isn’t the safest city in Texas, or the United States. Even if it is relatively safe, but the jury is out on that.
So then, why would major media outlets across the country based in places like New York and D.C. go to such lengths to change what Beto O’Rourke said? Where are the ad nauseam fact-checks from those same media outlets on Republicans for Beto’s comments? Where’s the cries from major media of “fake news!,” and the like?
You won’t find them. Beto is a Democrat running against boogieman number two, Ted Cruz. The media wants to bury Cruz, and Trump and their factually correct border narrative. So they chose to cover up Beto’s lies to prevent a gaffe out of the gate.

NBC 11 reports that Colt Chatfield came to school with a #Confederate flag flying from his truck and was told to take it down because some students found it offensive. He complied even though he said he has flown it many times before without complaint. However, the next day he came back with both the Confederate flag and the American flag waiving. The school then told him to remove both of them or lose his graduation rite to walk and receive his diploma.

No, not exactly, despite what CNN and The Hill reported last night. CNN’s Wolf Blitzer challenged Donald Trump in an interview yesterday about Trump’s claim that he would attract many of Bernie Sanders’ supporters in a general election by focusing on the minimum-wage hike promised by both Sanders and Hillary Clinton.
It has begun. Hillary ordered the media to start going after Trump today, and Wold Blitzer is the first one to oblige. He cut Trump off right when he was explaining that messing around with the minimum wage too much hinders competitiveness. He did it later when Trump correctly pointed out Hillary’s campaign was the first to float the Obama birth certificate story too. CNN cut from the interview to Blitzer saying Hillary never made that claim. Her campaign was the original source.
“I think he would be terrific on the Supreme Court, or I think he would be a terrific attorney general. Or he could be both,” Carson said. “He could be attorney general first, you know, go ahead and prosecute Hillary, and then go on the Supreme Court.”
