Mediaite reports:
CNN’s Brian Stelter had Trump legal adviser Jenna Ellis on Reliable Sources to talk about the the president’s re-election campaign and their threat to sue the network over a poll showing Joe Biden leading Trump by 14 points. It quickly degenerated into a complete trainwreck of a conversation.
“The only reason CNN published this because it’s junk science,” Ellis said. She went on by brushing off questions to define her complaints in order to keep scorching the network as “activism” and “fake news.”
“Your comment about polling and industry standards is totally false,” Stelter countered. “It’s important to interrupt when you share fake information.”
I’d still really like to know if @brianstelter thinks it’s okay to put out factually false statements on CNN or any media platform.
This is why America doesn’t trust activists who pretend to be journalists.

The performance of @JennaEllisEsq on @brianstelter show underscores Trump’s problem – the lying, nasty, infantile, & insulting behavior that demeans the presidency has gotten tiresome.
Worst was the lying. The “didn’t limit poll to voters” thing is their false talking point…/1

…what liars like @JennaEllisEsq do is intentionally conflate one part of the poll with the rest to mislead. ALL polls ask approval – even people who don't choose to vote approve or disapprove of presidential behavior. Thats because – shocker Jenna! – presidents represent…/2

…ALL citizens of the United States, not just voters. I know that’s hard to get since people like @JennaEllisEsq and @POTUS think he only represents those people who vote for him. But sorry – it’s everyone – so whether they approve of what he does it the question – always…/3

…but, what @JennaEllisEsq and @potus lie about is the rest of the poll, which is about voting intent of REGISTERED VOTERS.
So let’s look at each: Do Americans approve or disapprove, standard in all polls. This is about satisfaction of American citizens…../4 pic.twitter.com/qCNz23HN9Z

…and the second question, also approval/disapproval of American citizens. Notice – they are question A1 and A2, because that is all under one category (all adults)…./5@JennaEllisEsq @potus pic.twitter.com/f3U8DfMzrI

Watching Trump attorney Jenna Ellis talk to @brianstelter and it’s always the same Wall of Sound strategy: Fill the air with jabbering non-sequiturs, never let the interviewer finish a question, interrupt constantly, and suck the oxygen out of the segment.

CNN’s Brian Stelter asks Trump campaign lawyer Jenna Ellis about Trump’s latest “Concast” tweet.
Ellis: “Well, first of all, Brian, again, I knew you’d probably bring something like this up. We agreed prior to me coming on that we would stay to certain topics…” pic.twitter.com/yaRmuuGAmC
