Fun fact: The words “Stormy Daniels” have never appeared in an original CNSNews.com story in relation to her alleged relationship with Donald Trump.
It’s true. The name of the porn star shows up only in a couple videos ported from sister Media Research Center site NewsBusters and in a 2009 Associated Press article when she was considering a Senate run against David Vitter at a time when the Republican senator was linked to a prostitution scandal. And even a CNS article that touches upon her alleged affair with Trump refuses to use her name.
A March 8 article by Susan Jones takes great pains avoid using Daniels’ name even when directly discussing the affair. And in an echo of an earlier article, Jones dismisses criticism of Trump as nothing but a liberal media narrative:
Should Congress look into allegations that President Trump had an affair with a porn star 12 years ago? A reporter asked House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) about that at a news conference on Thursday.
“Let me just say that I’m more concerned about the president’s policies, which undermine the national security of America’s working families,” Pelosi responded.
[…]Speculation about Trump’s rumored consensual relationship in 2006 — rumors fueled by a porn star who wants to tell her story — continued to dominate the headlines Thursday on cable news channels that have opposed Trump, and actively undermined him, since his first day in office.
We’re pretty sure that nobody at the MRC ever dismissed the right-wing obsession about Bill Clinton’s sexual peccadilloes as coming from media outlets that opposed him and “actively undermined him since his first day in office.”
