In this week’s Wacky Moments of Liberal Expression:

You would think that coverage of a funeral for a past president of the United States would provide an opportunity for the liberal media to show some class, dignity, and unity – but Don Lemon and CNN are on hand to show how wrong an assumption that would be.

God forbid that President Trump should receive credit for conducting himself with grace during the funeral service of George H.W. Bush, CNN’s John Avalon’s made sure to be critical of Trump’s attendance, making sure people aren’t giving out “too many medals for not screwing up a presidential funeral.”

In the midst of the nation mourning the death of Bush 41, CNN brought on Ronald Reagan’s daughter, Patti Davis during their programming honoring the former President to blast Trump for damaging the presidency and bringing it down to the level of nine-year-olds. 

When not slamming Trump, the liberal media just wasn’t sure what to do or say. ABC journalist Terry Moran on Monday just got bizarre, deciding to use the coverage to take a shot at overpaid CEOS? Huh? 

NBC got a good laugh admitting that the “fake news” coverage about H.W. supposedly being amazed by a supermarket scanner in 1992, hurt his presidency. This admitted “fake news story” was included in the Associated Press and the New York Times obituary on Bush 41.

If you wondered who helped perpetuate that “fake news” over the years, look no further than NBC’s Chris Matthews. Aren’t you surprised?
