Nancy Sinatra slams CNN for anti-Trump spin on story about her humorous tweet
Published January 20, 2017 FoxNews.com


Nancy Sinatra had some strong words for CNN after the news outlet published an article on its website with the headline “Nancy Sinatra not happy Trump using father's song at inauguration.”

News broke this week that President-elect Donald Trump and his wife Melania will dance to Frank Sinatra’s “My Way” as their first dance at the Liberty Ball on Friday.

CNN quoted what seems to be a now-deleted tweet from Nancy Sinatra that read “Just remember the first line of the song” in response to a question about her father’s song being used during the inauguration.

The first line of “My Way” is "And now, the end is near."

Sinatra was not happy with CNN’s story. She tweeted a link to the article and replied, “That's not true. I never said that. Why do you lie, CNN?”

It would seem Sinatra isn’t denying she commented about the song’s first line – though that tweet can no longer be found on her page – rather, her issue seems to be CNN’s take on the tweet.

“Oh, man! I'm not angry,” she tweeted. “What a rotten spin to put on a harmless joke.”

She also wrote, “I'm not sure why this became such a big deal. It was really just a joke.”

When a fan suggested on Twitter that she must be upset to hear that her father’s single is being used, she replied, “Actually I'm wishing him the best. A good president helps the entire world. I don't believe anyone tries to be a bad president.”

Either way, Sinatra has spoken out against Trump in the past. She tweeted earlier this month, following Meryl Streep’s anti-Trump rant at the Golden Globes, “Meryl Streep is a patriot speaking for those of us who don't have a forum or a voice. Thank you, Meryl.”

Frank Sinatra – My Way (*fair use)

And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain

I've lived a life that's full
I've traveled each and every highway
But more, much more than this
I did it my way

Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption

I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall
And did it my way

I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill my share of losing
And now, as tears subside
I find it all so amusing

To think I did all that
And may I say - not in a shy way
Oh no, oh no, not me
I did it my way

For what is a man, what has he got
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way

Yes, it was my way

Stumbled across this in my search...kind of morbid...dated Jan. 6, 2015:

CNN's end of the world Doomsday video (*fair use)

If the end of the world comes, US cable channel CNN has prepared a video to be played by the last surviving employee. According to former CNN intern Michael Ballaban, who posted the footage online, the video has been prepared for Doomsday. It is a low-res video of a US army band playing a mournful redition of Nearer My God to Thee

OK if the lame stream media does not self destruct we have to restore objective journalism to the US and UK, only you guys can do this in the US, every single MSM lie has to be opposed in social media or other outlets, in any way shape or form on-line or in real life. It is imperative that media reporting has to be unbiased and realistic.

Ok, a little dark humor. Sort of reminds me one of those films from the 70's - Kentucky Fried Movie...perhaps?

"I'm not wearing any pants. Film at 11."

"Its the end of the world...first this message from your sponsor..."

She is not a Trump supporter and even she knows that CNN is fake news.
I have respect for people who don't like Trump but wish him the best.

 

[Bardou]

Heh, Trump should use Nancy Sinatra's song "These Boots are Made for Walking" because that's Trump's plan starting with EOs, Obummercare, downsizing government, etc. Start walking!

Thanks, Breeta...very good way to put it. I hope and pray that Trump and his family remain safe and sound...and that they truly know Jesus.

I am feeling a type of surge of optimism...but checkin' it...a very cautious optimism, as I have seen/see too many red flags- like that Paula White who supposedly is his minister, and who lived in/lives in Trump Towers with her husband.

The resurgence of prayers has me optimistic...but have people repented and turned from their wicked ways?

When Detroit was in ruins, there were many returning to churches to pray for financial healing and help...dressed as ho's...I couldn't believe what some of the women interviewed and shown in church on the news were wearing/kind of wearing...they looked like they should have been on the street corner flaunting their...stuff.

This came to mind, as well: Matthew 7 (KJV)

20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
