Sarah Isgur Flores (c. 1982- ) is a Republican Party hack who CNN just hired to be in charge of their news reporting on the 2020 campaign for US president. She starts next month, March 2019.
Brian Stelter, CNN’s own top reporter on the media:
“‘GOP operative joins CNN’ is getting a LOT of criticism, especially from Dems. But love it or hate it, political insiders have been joining newsrooms for decades. The more viewpoints represented in newsrooms, the better.”
But she is not being hired merely to offer opinions as a Republican insider, but to be in charge of CNN’s news reporting of the 2020 presidential race! She has plenty of experience pushing right-wing propaganda, but none in journalism.
CNN as propaganda: If you see CNN as a propaganda outlet trying to make nice with President Trump, then it makes plenty of sense. Trump repeatedly calls CNN “fake news”. If you see CNN as a serious news outlet, then it makes no sense.
Background: Flores calls herself a “Republican strategist and campaign junkie. Texan by birth, lawyer by education, cat lady by choice.” She is from Houston and went to Harvard Law School (’08). She worked on the presidential campaigns of Mitt Romney in 2008 and 2012 and of Carly Fiorina in 2016. She belongs to the right-wing Federalist Society.
Yep, I’m White: In 2015 Huffington Post named her as one of their “40 Under 40: Latinos in American Politics”. Flores:
“Very flattering … Flores is my married name. For those curious, mom’s Irish and dad’s side is Russian.”
She married Chad Flores, a Houston lawyer, in 2011. She is often just called Sarah Isgur.
Kissing the ring: Even after Fiorina dropped out of the race for president in 2016, Flores continued to blast Donald Trump:
“For a lot of us, this isn’t about party. This isn’t about winning for the sake of winning for our team. This is about our country. And it’s about a belief system. And I’m a conservative before I’m a Republican.”
But once Trump became president she pledged her loyalty to him and became the spokeswoman for the Department of Justice (DOJ) under Jeff Sessions, from 2017 to 2018.
The DOJ: CNN says Flores “will not play a role in covering the Department of Justice.” But the fate of the 2020 race could easily turn on the DOJ’s Russiagate investigation. And its draconian, redneck-pandering measures on immigration are bound to become an issue too.
On Trump and the media:
On June 14th 2016:
“As it turns out, sociopaths and narcissists have a much easier time appearing entirely authentic on television. Normal people, on the other hand, can appear stiff on camera because they have the ability to feel self-conscious. Method acting will be the new media training now that Trump has finally proven what so many failed candidates couldn’t grasp: You don’t need to be authentic, you need to act authentic.”
On January 28th 2017:
“Once again Dems & media sounding their outrage gong at every single thing this President does to try to clean up mess of the last 8yrs.”

“Once again Dems & media sounding their outrage going at every single thing this President does to try to clean up mess of the last 8 yrs.”
Princess Pollyanna Propaganda out to spin more comments designed to cover a self-styled Emperor Who Has No Clothes On – revealing naked disregard for our country’s well-being. So I suppose she is gearing up to try and clean up Trump’s mess.

Sarah Flores is hot and smart. Don’t dismiss the CNN female criticism of her as rooted in envy of her looks and beautiful smile. She’s pretty enough to work at Fox! Moreover, she is as photogenic as any woman on CNN’s news or commentary staffs. Finally, there is at least one red blooded male with good taste in personel at CNN!
