No. He offered no proof of anything, in an interview style sitting. Are you expecting Young Jamie to suddenly pull up stats to refute them on the basis of nothing?
If you are in an interview style setting where proof cannot be offered, then it is unreasonable to ask the participants to prove their claims, and disingenuous to then go on to present footage of that interaction to an audience where the "other side" is egregiously misrepresented.

So I'm not exactly sure what picture you are trying to paint here. What is it exactly that you are alleging happened?

Yeah sure, why not. Except no one is claiming CNN can be trusted, but I see Trumpites pushing O'Keefe's videos as proof of something.
Indeed. But one mention of O'Keefe and lo and behold the hue and cry that follows. A reasonable person concludes the difference in reaction strength is the result of an actual difference in attitutde...

So, please show these posts claiming CNN is credible.
Why? I don't need that in order to show the inconsistent behaviour.

Douglas Gibbs gives an interesting angle on the Mika tweet that produced vapours in the usual media:

Yeah he deflected from ethically grotesque behaviour with viscerally grotesque behaviour. Go Pres!

http://gizmodo.com/epa-head-met-with-ceo-of-dow-before-rejecting-ban-of-do-1796471483

The EPA released Pruitt’s March meeting schedule earlier this month following multiple FOIA requests and the Associated Press noticed something interesting. Just 20 days prior to rejecting the ban, Pruitt met with Dow CEO Andrew Liveris. Dow manufactures chlorpyrifos and it also spent $13.6 million on lobbying in 2016. From the Associated Press report:

EPA spokeswoman Liz Bowman said Tuesday that Pruitt was “briefly introduced” to Liveris at the conference.

“They did not discuss chlorpyrifos,” Bowman said. “During the same trip he also met with the Canadian minister of natural resources, and CEOs and executives from other companies attending the trade show.” ...

Though his schedule for the intervening months has not yet been released, Bowman said Pruitt has had no other meetings with the Dow CEO. There was a larger group meeting that Pruitt attended which also included two other Dow executives, but she said that didn’t involve chlorpyrifos.

You mean you can't.
Yeah, I admit I can't deal with your red-herring in the way you would like.

When you can point to yourself behaving towards CNN like you behave towards O'Keefe, let's talk.

You're welcome to find those posts. But you won't. Or can't. Either way.

Idle curiosity: If his tweet is "ethically grotesque", what would you call her seven months of almost daily name-calling and personal denigration?

(Not that it's relevant, but I don't personally condone Trump's tantrum tweets. But it is interesting to see people becoming exercised over them.)

You been streaming Morning Joe for a while now? I have. That's not what she or Joe have been doing at all, so try another angle.

Lol. So I guess Obama's 8 years of abuse would have warranted at least a drop kick to some right wing 'news' anchors.

At the very least Trumpites should admit he doesn't have half as much class as his predecessor.

It sounds like you do condone them, personally. Bleeding from face surgery.... There's something particularly degenerate about his imagery, wouldn't you say?

It's the upside-down... Mika Brzezinski is Satan and Sean Hannity is the modern personification of Christ.

EDIT: Check that... Sean is St Peter, Donald is Christ.

People who fling turds don't get to cry when they smell like schit after being hit by one without looking like hypocrites.

People who praise Trump's tactics shouldn't pretend to not condone them.

Oh good, you also think Trump is a sniveling whiny hypocrite.

And I'm telling you why you're reading too much into the response and inferring praise where instead there is just a distaste for double standards.
