On Monday night, appearing on CNN’s The Situation Room, CNN counterterrorism analyst Phil Mudd decided to wax scatological, offering this response to a preliminary report released by Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee that stated the committee was closing their investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election: “If this report were written on toilet paper, I wouldn’t stoop to wipe my a** with it.”
As Newsbusters points out, CNN seems somewhat schizophrenic when it comes to naughty language; after President Trump called Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd a “sleeping son of a b***h” at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, CNN media critic David Zurawik complained that Trump’s remarks were “offensive” and “just plain wrong,” adding, “we lose our ability to function as rationally informed citizens every time we chuckle or smile at something he says!”
