On Wednesday morning, CNN political analyst David Gregory trashed those who dared to question the media’s hysterical coverage of the Trump administration. Unsurprisingly, he continued to practice his favorite past time of pushing false narratives. On CNN’s New Day, he at first went directly at the President: “You have the President of the United States demonstrably trying to shut down that investigation. Why? Calling it a hoax. Why?”

Gregory then immediately shifted to media critics, mockingly stating:

And I love defenders of the President saying, “Oh the media is hysterical about all of this.” Because if we can't find collusion, now we are shifting to obstruction of justice. Again, their hypocrisy just hits you in the face. If this was President Hillary Clinton trying to shut down an investigation, would they be apoplectic about it. So this is the real tension here. Why is the President behaving this way?

As pointed out time and time again, the media has blown this situation completely out of proportion Newsbusters (a quick look at NewsBusters could tell you this unfortunate fact). So needless to say, the criticism that the media is being “hysterical” is justified.

As for his charge of hypocrisy, it is Gregory, who is the real hypocrite. When it became painfully obvious that Hillary Clinton was being investigated for potentially breaking the law in her careless handling of classified information via her e-mails, the former Meet the Press host rushed to her defense. In fact, he claimed the FBI investigation of Clinton was fueled by "hatred" and "misogyny," just a few weeks ago.

But all of this left-wing advocacy was not enough for Gregory. Before the panel ended, he butted in to falsely suggest that the firing of FBI Director James Comey somehow damaged the Russia investigation:

The problem with the White House also giving these kinds of statements like last night. “See, there was nothing to see there.” As we have been saying all along, if they want to play this game of daily developments, and they have to deal with a very uncomfortable fact and it this among many: They came out there and explained the fact the President fired the guy leading the investigation. Fired the guy leading this investigation.

Of course, both Comey and acting director Andrew McCabe have testified before Congress, stating the investigation has not been impacted by the administration nor by the firing of director Comey. Sadly, the media often refuse to allow facts to get in the way of their agenda. Giving Gregory the title of political analyst is insulting. He is a Democratic commentator.
