CNN’s non-media-critic Brian Stelter is freaking out on CNN over Trump’s goofy wrestling tweet. Towards the end of this segment, he says this is exactly the kind of thing that Hugo Chavez, Receipt Erdogan and Vladimir Putin does!!!!!
Watch the idiocy below:
President Trump punches CNN in a juvenile tweet https://t.co/4jmCDZVi0w https://t.co/RlLY3Yr0Ic

Hugo Chavez and Putin have had journalists assassinated. Trump put out a dumb tweet. Erdogan is literally suspending features of the Turkish government in order to install himself as a dictator. Trump put out a dumb tweet.
YES, he’s trying to discredit the media so that he can do whatever he wants. But it’s a tweet. Get over yourself.
It’s these kind of hysterics that will utterly strip the media of credibility long before Trump ever actually does something that approximates the dictators they keep screaming about…
