CNSNews.com reporter Susan Jones has long been a pro-Trump sycophant. She took that sycophancy to a new level in a June 12 article, in which she marveled at Trump’s civility in a press conference. Under the headline “No ‘Fake News’: Trump Holds Calm, Courteous News Conference in Singapore,” Jones gushed:
“I haven’t slept in 25 hours,” President Trump told a 4 a.m. EDT news conference in Singapore following his historic summit with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.
Nevertheless, the president spoke to reporters for more than an hour, never using the term “fake news,” although he did admit he was apprehensive about taking their questions.
“So it is an honor to be with everybody today, the media — it’s a big gathering of media, I will say — makes me feel very uncomfortable, but it is what it is. People understand that this is something very important to all of us, including yourselves and your families, so thank you very much for being here.”
Amazingly, at the end of the news conference, the president was applauded as he walked off the stage.
[…]Several reporters prefaced their questions by congratulating the president on his historic summit with Kim. Trump thanked them.
Jones emphasized the applause for Trump at the end of her article, in which she transcribed Trump’s final statement, following by the line “(Applause.)”
That sycophancy is embarrassing, even for a right-wing journalist. Then again, CNS paid her to write it and published it as is.
