Tom Blumer captured the tweet argument at NewsBusters:
In a series of tweets at around 5 p.m. [Saturday] seen after the jump, Steinberg criticized Martin for spending so much time on the press’s Trayvon Martin obsession — where one person tragically died — while ignoring the impact and meaning of the documents leaked by an unnamed Department of Justice official relating to the Fast and Furious “gunwalking” scandal — as a result of which“at least 300 Mexicans, plus at least two American law enforcement agents” have been killed. Martin’s responses were immature, insulting, condescending — and all too typical of a press corps which, now that it is seeing poll results it doesn’t like, has in certain cases taken to calling voters stupid.
Blumer screencapped the tweets — in one, Martin tells Steinberg to “stay in your pajamas,” and in another, Martin tweets to Steinberg:
we also cover mental health issues. Shock therapy could do you wonders! Buh bye!
CNN does cover mental health issues, occasionally including those involving its own anchors. Roland Martin was suspended for a bizarre tweet regarding a David Beckham underwear ad in February; his suspension ended less than two weeks ago. Another suspension could do wonders… Eh, probably not.
At any rate, CNN’s anchor man is ill-informed on a couple of stories in all this. He’s clearly uninterested in the Fast and Furious scandal and the hundreds who have died as a result of that criminally insane Obama administration program. PJ Media has been called PJ Media for several months now. Mr. Martin should try to keep up. And I doubt Mr. Martin is qualified to prescribe shock therapy for our staff, or anyone else for that matter.
Why are there ads for what appears to be pornography on this website? One click for a Roman Orgy? Really??
You’re not seeing the same ads as I am. Ad placement varies depending on the cookies you’ve picked up. What sites have you been browsing or searching?
I have it too. It’s just an ad for a game based on Roman mythology.
I’m not getting the orgy ads; can you post a link or phone number? Thanks in advance.
Roland Martin should stick his tounge in a live light socket and then go back to his fishing show. At least he had some talent there.
Who watches CNN?
Anyone stuck in an airport has CNN inflicted on them.
And lots of lefties prefer CNN because it’s basically the same rants as MSNBC, but with less spittle and more smug.
They are loosing. It is not pretty to watch. The whole socialist utopia is crashing.
Who’s Roland Martin?
A racist clown.
He reads aloud for a living. Why would he think that gives him any gravitas?
It seems the powers that be at the networks consider their so-called news programs to be just another type of vulgar reality show entertainment. Sort of like professional wrestling, but sitting down.
Practicing medicine without a license? The last I knew, that was a crime in all 57 states and the outlying territories.
He’s black, why would he say anything bad about Obama?
Remember Roland Martin came from a left wing black talk radio station (as if there is any other kind) in Chicago before landing at CNN. As a trusted memeber of the MSM, he will do whatever it takes to get BO re-elected which is one of the reasons this story is being played the way it is.
So his background is in the type of media that started the 2001 riots in Cincinnati?
Wunnerful.
CCCPNN probably wonders why it has so few viewers.
Two stock responses for Mr. Steinberg(to be used as applicable):
1. You first.
2. So you speak from experience?
Shock therapy is not what Mr. Martin thinks (and the punishment he presumably hopes) it to be. As the lone advocate for a family member who was pressured into the treatment by desperate family members, I can also relate that it does not guarantee the hoped for outcome. Fresh air, direct sunshine (white light as opposed to fluorescent glare or blue computer/TV screen output), and reasonable exercise are also in short supply in most psychiatric wards, but often produce wonderful results.
Please keep applying sunshine to such mental health bigotry. It’s a remarkably effective disinfectant…
And maybe, just maybe, keep Mr. Martin away from cats too: http://www.physorg.com/news200164470.html.
ah, the serpent rears it’s ugly head…cnn has actually become the communist news network we used to joke about.
Roland Martin is a gnome.
That is all.
His head is too big for a KKK hood but I imagine one on him anyway. And I put a sharpie mark on my TV so every time he’s on he has spectacles and a mustache.
Roland Martin is still alive? Who knew?
Who is Roland Martin and why should I care?
Forget it, I don’t care, and I don’t watch CNN, anyway, it’s mostly garbage.
Although, if you tell me some of the advertisers I would consider boycotting them.
Evil is, is leftist does.
Socialist ends, Chicago means. Pray for the Republic.
