Yep, you're right.

The 13th paragraph in a mostly negative piece.

Yup. They reported it.

In paragraph 13.

Here's the first sentences of the preceding 12 paragraphs.

Quote:
 
All was not calm and bright on President Donald Trump's Twitter feed this Christmas.
Quote:
 
Trump, marking his first Christmas as President from his private club here, balanced the traditional presidential holiday tasks -- teleconferencing with the troops, speaking with young kids looking for Santa Claus and attending a late-night church service -- with the fire-breathing tweets
Quote:
 
It was a characteristic end to an often tumultuous year...
Quote:
 
Trump celebrated the holiday with his family around him at Mar-a-Lago, the private estate that Trump has warmed to calling the "Winter White House."
Quote:
 
Feasting on turkey, beef tenderloin and creamy kale, Trump was said to be in good spirits and surrounded by the friends and informal advisers
Quote:
 
Even in his comfort zone, though, the President's Twitter feed raged at familiar targets such as the FBI
Quote:
 
Trump slammed McCabe for that fact that his wife, Dr. Jill McCabe, ran for Virginia state senate
Quote:
 
McCabe told senior FBI officials months ago he was planning on retiring in the coming months, two sources familiar with his plans told CNN.
Quote:
 
Even away from the often-restricting White House, the tweets were a reminder that Trump enjoys turning to his millions of followers to slam those who he felt have wronged him in his first year in office.
Quote:
 
On the list: Political correctness. Trump tweeted an hour before arriving at church that he is "proud to have led the charge against the assault of our cherished and beautiful phrase," an oft-used -- and little-evidenced -- line criticizing people who say Happy Holidays, not Merry Christmas.
Quote:
 
The President is at his most comfortable in Mar-a-Lago, according to friends and advisers, who say Trump will regularly work the room at the club, socialize with members and use them as sounding boards for his thoughts and ideas.
Quote:
 
On his first Christmas as President, Mar-a-Lago has been rendered a veritable fortress, with police cars blocking most traffic past the palatial estate and Coast Guard cutters bobbing along the Atlantic beach and Intracoastal Waterway that sandwich the property.


Isolated, angry, raging, "tumultuous," elitist, "not calm."

Oh yeah, he had lunch with some cops too.

And then
Quote:
 
Trump's time in Florida also frequently means time on the golf course. Trump golfed on Saturday with pro-golfers Justin Thomas, Daniel Berger and Jim Herman and with friends on Sunday.
Goodness! He hangs around with celebrities (whom I've never heard of)!
Quote:
 
Past presidents have mainly celebrated Christmas away from cameras. George W. Bush spent the holiday at Camp David, tucked away in Maryland's snowy mountains, before decamping to his Texas ranch. Barack Obama visited troops at the Kaneohe Bay Marine Corps base near his rental compound on Oahu, but otherwise remained out of view.
Ah, on Christmas, the President is supposed to cloister himself. Okay.

How many people do you think read all the way to paragraph 13?

I get it. They don't like him. But some measure of objectivity would be nice, even if they hate him.

This is CNN.

(did you notice that Bush "the younger" is held up as a paragon of presidential behavior?)

Did he? According to the CNN piece, he was not planning to attend.

If you didn’t like the CNN coverage, you probably won’t think much of WaPo’s history of the war on Christmas, either...

Yep, saw the Washington Compost piece earlier.

Funny how they know more about a Christmas tree in a Trump building lobby 35 years ago, than they did about Obama's entire life up until age 40. Our newsliar probably still has an erection from putting this journalistic triumph together, with visions of Pulitzers dancing in his head.

There is news, fake news and this crap.

BTW, before this piece of avante garde journalism, our intrepid reporter is best known for his story about Clock Boy.

Meanwhile over at the Clinton News Network, they are seriously worried about It's a Wonderful Life being sexist.

But back to the Compost...One blog thinks they might be a bit worried or maybe a little in panic mode:
