CNN’s Alisyn Camerota said on Friday she has fatigue from the news media’s continuing coverage of alleged ties between the Trump campaign and Russian election meddling.
“I hear your Russia fatigue and I share it. You know, there are many mornings I come in and pray for other news to eclipse any sort of Russia thread,” the “New Day” anchor told the “Bernie and Sid Show” on 77 WABC.

“There are always ethical dilemmas that journalists face. Every day we are making decisions about ‘What are we going to lead with?’ ‘What are we going to leave out?’” she continued.
“By the time I plug in, there is already a direction of the show. However, I am free at any time to say to my executive producer, which I do pretty regularly, ‘Hey, I don’t want to do this in this segment, I want to do this,' and then it’s a debate.”
Camerota's comments come amid a growing feud between President Trump
Donald John TrumpTwitter CEO: 'Not true' that removing Trump campaign video was illegal, as president has claimed Biden formally clinches Democratic presidential nomination Barr says he didn't give 'tactical' command to clear Lafayette protesters MORE and the press as the media continues to cover a series of revelations surrounding the federal probe into Russia's meddling in the 2016 presidential election, including possible ties between the Trump campaign and Moscow.
Trump has intensified his rhetoric toward the press, especially CNN, for their reporting on the Russia probe and has repeatedly claimed he is the victim of a "witch hunt."
He recently blasted the media’s reporting on a Trump Tower meeting last summer that included his son Donald Trump Jr. and a Russian lawyer with ties to the Kremlin.
My son Donald did a good job last night. He was open, transparent and innocent. This is the greatest Witch Hunt in political history. Sad!

Remember, when you hear the words "sources say" from the Fake Media, often times those sources are made up and do not exist.
