Trump's brilliant choice of McMaster - CNN.com

Of course that wont stop all those with blind hatred of Trump from hating this choice!

Those holding their breath and wanting Trump to fail are going to be absolutely sick for the next 8 years! God bless you President Trump!

"WoW! Even CNN???!?!?"
-someone who uncritically accepts that CNN is some communist propaganda unit because the president asserted that this was the case without siting any evidence

All the flaws of CNN are still present. Anyone who thinks this is some light at the end of the tunnel is someone who assumes that CNN's problem is that they lean left. I call these people idiots, to be very frank about it. That was never CNNs problem. Sure, they lean left and at times it's frustrating, especially if your the wrong kind of left (like a Bernie Sanders voter), but even then, their issue isn't bias. That's not even really Fox's problem, who's bias is usually more obvious. No, it's that they sensationalize, serve the interest of money, and selectively editorialize. All the mainstream news does it, even the "Fake News," but it also applies to all those neat alternative news sights. Even local channels, as they attempt to compete with mega-news like CNN, do it (though local news is typically overall still more worth the watch).

CNN approves?... that's a caution flag for me... not a red flag, just a caution.

CNN is not as fake as you think. But of course, this time you'll choose to believe them because they agree with you. Let them say anything against Trump and they're fake news again to you.

Here's some foundational journalism for you: that article is what's called an editorial or opinion piece. It reflects the opinion of that one particular author, not CNN as a whole. It is true that McMaster has bipartisan support. But you're the one spinning here, and I'm sure you'll get all upset next time CNN publishes something that you don't agree with.

Trump chose?

Sound to me like McMaster was GIVEN a set of orders.

Take it or retire.

Isn't CNN supposed to be pure propaganda? It doesn't help when your story is under the "OPINION" section.

The stories they report have a modicum of truth to them, but they way they twist and spin, along with their snark and toxicity makes both the stories and the delivery fake. Videos are edited, words and entire sentences are omitted, context is completely off. The end result is: FAKE!

No kidding. Even though it was an opinion piece, it has to get past the editor.
