As Twitchy reported Tuesday, CNN Senior Media Analyst and News Hall Monitor Brian Stelter claimed that it was conservatives who were making Donald Trump's shift at a Pennsylvania McDonald's into a three-day story, because they were saying that liberals were "losing their minds over it." So the senior media analyst doesn't think that the left-wing media made it a three-day story because it was a PR success for the Trump campaign?

Snopes? Staged? Thank goodness for fact-checkers.
And that was just Tuesday. The right-wing continued to push the story Wednesday.

So as you can see, It's definitely Republicans keeping this story alive.

As we said, it was left-wing media that kept the story alive for the sole reason that it was a PR success for the Trump campaign and they needed to attack it. It's fine with us if they keep the story upfront. Let's see if they drag it into Thursday.
