I know you probably didn’t trust CNN anyway, but here’s another reason not to. Kate Bennett, who’s described as a CNN reporter who focuses on all things FLOTUS, thought it was a good idea to tweet this out:
A text from a friend last night while watching @FLOTUS interview: “She’s Trump, just in a better-fitting suit.”

They were obviously talking about the ABC special on Melania, which you can catch up on here and here. It was really interesting.
Can you imagine the other stuff she and her friend had to say about Melania? Also, isn’t it kind of sexist to suggest that a woman is no different than her husband? I think it’s pretty clear that Melania is a fiercely independent woman who always stays true to herself.
I thought women were supposed to support women? And either way, you’re a REPORTER ON THE FLOTUS BEAT. What made you think this was a good idea to tweet? Is it newsworthy? No. Does it make people find you more trustworthy or credible? Also no.

Your friend should have texted you that it's probably not appropriate to post this thought while you're assigned as a reporter on the FLOTUS beat for a major network. https://t.co/qENM2O8Leo

This is the CNN reporter on the FLOTUS beat.
Half of America longs for the good old days of the media, at least pretending, to be objective.
