Isn't that just great? CNN has gone over to the dark side.

...................................................................................................................................................................
COMMENTS:
*  Why would CNN hire a "commentator" that has a non disclosure agreement with Trump, and whom Trump will sue for breach of contract if he ever says anything that offends the Donald? CNN is nothing but show business.
*  There are those who suspect that Lewandowski's "firing" was/is a sham and another con by Trumpolini. The bet was on some media outlet hiring "Lew" who would then shamelessly campaign and cheerlead for his "ex"-boss.
*  CNN is paying a guy to give Trump free publicity. That's stupid to the 6th power.
*  This another example of why you can't make someone into something they are not. First example this year is trying to make a businessman into a credible President. This example is what happens when you try and make a "whatever he was" into "whatever you want him to be"
   *  True. I'm surprised he didn't end up on Fox. That's usually where all the liars end up.
*   I'm boycotting CNN until he's gone.

Corey Lewandowski’s Debut On CNN Is Going Just Awfully

It seems he’s more interested in giving out Trump campaign talking points.

By Sam Levine, June 29, 2016

Corey Lewandowski’s first week on CNN isn’t going so great amid criticism that Donald Trump‘s former campaign manager is just promoting the candidate and never should have been offered a job at the network.

Lewandowski, who is paid to ostensibly give insightful analysis for the network, simply repeated talking points for the Trump campaign after the business mogul spoke on the economy Tuesday, saying over and over that it was his best speech yet. Lewandowski, who was fired June 20, signed a nondisclosure agreement with Trump that would prevent him from revealing information about the presumptive GOP nominee’s presidential campaign. A nondisclosure agreement provided to the AP by a former Trump employee to the campaign contains language that prevents the employee from disparaging Trump and his family.

Journalists watching the appearance immediately criticized Lewandowski.

CNN is doing a service by putting Corey Lewandowski on the air, thus providing an advance glimpse of the standards of a Trump administration

if this is the level of analysis Lewandowski is going to offer, what's in it for CNN? may as well have actual campaign spoxes come on

Washington Post columnist Margaret Sullivan also harshly criticized the network for hiring Lewandowski after he blacklisted several news organizations and physically attacked a reporter while serving on Trump’s campaign.

“Even in the highly competitive, ratings-mad, hardball-playing world of cable television, there should be a bridge too far. In hiring Donald Trump’s fired campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, CNN ran blithely across that bridge and plunged into a sea of muck,” Sullivan wrote. “Bringing Lewandowski onboard is an astonishing reward for behavior that should cause him to be shunned by respectable journalistic organizations.”

Even employees at CNN are reportedly uncomfortable with Lewandowski’s hiring.

Despite his history with reporters, Lewandowski insisted he had a great relationship with the press during an interview on CNN Monday.

“I have great relationships in the media. Those individuals who are embeds get to know me the best. The individuals who I spoke to on a regular basis, the individuals who are on your set here today.”
