We are now 20 days from the 2020 presidential election, and, thanks in large part to his historical mishandling of the novel coronavirus pandemic, which has claimed 215,000 American lives and counting, President Donald Trump is trailing his Democratic opponent Joe Biden in the polls. One other reason is that the media—in particular the cable-news media—has learned some valuable lessons from the way they covered candidate Trump versus Hillary Clinton in 2016. A new documentary, Enemies of the People, dropping on YouTube this afternoon and airing Thursday at 7:30 p.m. on VICE TV, examines the role the media played in tipping […]

US president Donald Trump is being monitored at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center following his COVID-19 diagnosis. Earlier the White House maintained that the president was in “good spirits” and was suffering from only mild symptoms, such as fever and fatigue. CNN’s recent report over Trump’s allegedly “serious” condition following his COVID-19 diagnosis has been picked up by a number of global outlets, including the Telegraph, Evening Standard, Mirror, Times of Israel, WION News and others. The American channel reported on Saturday, citing an unnamed “Trump campaign adviser”, that the US president’s condition was worrying as he reportedly was very […]
CNN anchor Jake Tapper booted Trump’s campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh on Wednesday after the Trump flack continued to deflect when pressed on the president’s refusal to condemn white supremacists, invoking the much-maligned moderator of Tuesday’s debate in the process. Following an off-the-rails presidential debate that was described by reporters as a “shitshow,” President Donald Trump has faced intense backlash for telling the far-right group Proud Boys to “stand back and stand by” while refusing to disavow right-wing extremists and white supremacy. After multiple aides tried to clean up his remarks on Wednesday by blaming debate moderator Chris Wallace or claiming […]
Pundits covering the first presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden struggled to contain their horror during their post-event analysis, dubbing the throwdown a “dumpster fire” and a “s**t show” live on TV. President Trump and his Democratic rival Joe Biden took the stage at Cleveland’s Case Western Reserve University on Tuesday night, where the two clashed over 90 minutes of debate, seeing frequent interruptions, personal insults and meandering off-topic. Apparently unimpressed by the performance, CNN’s Jake Tapper dubbed the event the “worst debate I’ve ever seen” just seconds after it finished. “We’ll talk about who won the debate, who […]
Fellow CNN host Chris Cuomo tried to point out to Don Lemon that judges cannot re-write the US constitution, and Democrats would need a three-quarters majority in every one of the 50 state legislatures to do so, but Lemon was unperturbed. CNN Tonight presenter Don Lemon has urged US presidential candidate Joe Biden “blow up the entire system” if elected. During his nightly handover exchange with Cuomo Prime Time host Chris Cuomo on Monday night, the outspoken anchor said Democrats could “stack the courts” and use judges to abolish the electoral college system of presidential elections. His comments crew fire from […]
CNN let Netflix CEO Reed Hastings off the hook for the second time in four days, neglecting to ask him even once about ‘Cuties,’ the film that ignited a campaign to cancel the streaming service for showing alleged “child porn.” The latest Netflix-friendly interview aired Sunday on CNN’s “Reliable Sources” program, where host Brian Stelter kept the discussion focused primarily on promoting Hastings’ new book. CNN host Poppy Harlow took a similar approach on Thursday, steering clear of hard-hitting questions and talking mostly about the book in the 10 minutes she had with Hastings. Harlow interviewed the CEO the day after […]
CNN head Jeff Zucker appears to have offered Donald Trump a “weekly show” on the network in 2016, also giving tips for a presidential debate, arguing Trump could not win the race without his outlet’s support, leaked audio reveals. Zucker – who now presides over one of the most fervently anti-Trump media outlets in the American corporate press – hatched the idea to give then-candidate Trump a weekly slot on CNN during a March 2016 phone call with Micheal Cohen, a lawyer for Trump at the time, according to audio obtained by Fox News’ Tucker Carlson. Speaking with Cohen hours before […]
Trump “ritualistically belittled” Barack Obama “and then fired him,” according to CNN’s preview of a memoir by Michael Cohen. The anecdote apparently refers to an obscure parody video shot for the 2012 Republican convention. Cohen is a former lawyer of President Donald Trump, who has authored a tell-all book promising readers insight into how bad and unfit for office his former boss is. The White House dismissed it as “fan fiction” by a convicted liar trying to cash in on past ties with the president. But with the genre of Trump-bashing prose as popular as ever, ‘Disloyal: A Memoir,’ is pretty […]
US President Donald Trump has urged CNN to drop confrontational news host Chris Cuomo after a tape of Cuomo denying sexual harassment allegations in conversation with Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen was leaked. Highlighting Cuomo’s poor ratings and “great disrespect” for women, the president called on CNN to fire the anchor in a tweet on Wednesday. Will Fredo be fired by Fake News @CNN? He speaks with great disrespect about women, and it will only get worse. Fredo’s Ratings are bad, so this is the time. Always terrible to speak to sleazebags, especially when you are being recorded. CNN has no […]
Another day, another off-the-rails interview featuring a Trump campaign flack fighting with a CNN host while defending President Donald Trump’s latest insane controversy and embrace of conspiracies. In a lengthy and extremely combative exchange Wednesday morning on CNN, Trump’s campaign press secretary Hogan Gidley was immediately pressed by anchor Jim Sciutto on the president’s recent visit to Kenosha, the site of violent protests following the police shooting of Jacob Blake. “During his trip, the president defended a man, a 17-year-old now accused of homicide. He did not mention Jacob Blake’s name once there,” Sciutto wondered aloud. “Why is that?” Gidley argued that […]
Russia may be responsible for the deadly unrest in American cities, CNN host Dana Bash has implied during an interview with Democrat’s top Russiagate figure, Adam Schiff, proving that red-baiting never goes out of vogue. Schiff, the chair of the House Intelligence Committee, came to CNN for a round of Trump-bashing over the President’s remarks on how Director of National Intelligence (DNI) John Ratcliffe “got tired of” classified information being leaking from Congress. The DNI wrote last week to the California representative and his Senate counterpart, Marco Rubio, that his office will be informing lawmakers on election security through written reports […]
CNN’s Chris Cillizza has become the butt of the joke online after he said that designating unrest in Kenosha and Portland as “riots” is a ploy by Trump. The photo in the article seems to be at odds with the spin, though. CNN’s political commentator Chris Cillizza has faced a torrent of mockery from conservatives, who accused him of whitewashing violence festering in Kenosha, Wisconsin and Portland, Oregon after he opined that referring to the looting, vandalism and arson in both cities as rioting is unjustified and a “desperate” political ploy by US President Donald Trump. “To hear Trump and his […]
Following a night of violent protests in Portland that left one person dead, CNN State of the Union host Dana Bash repeatedly confronted Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) on whether or not President Donald Trump’s increasingly divisive rhetoric was “inflaming” and “agitating” tensions in the country. Highlighting the violence in Portland and the recent vigilante shootings in Kenosha, Bash kicked off her interview by recapping the president’s comments and tweets in which he called on the Portland mayor to resign, labeled protesters as thugs, and claimed American cities are in chaos. “You are the chairman, as I mentioned, of the Senate Homeland […]
Daniel Dale can talk at the speed of light—the light he tries to shed on the multiplying mendacities, prevarications and deceptions of Donald J. Trump. On the final night of the Republican National Convention, CNN’s resident fact-checker barely stopped to breathe as he enumerated the falsehoods uttered by the 45th president in his 70-minute speech accepting his party’s nomination. “Anderson, this president is a serial liar, and he serially lied tonight,” Dale told anchor Anderson Cooper, and then—over the course of three dizzying minutes—ticked off 21 instances of Trump assaulting the truth, everything from his erroneous claims that Joe Biden wants […]
Criminal-justice reform advocate Alice Johnson spoke on behalf of President Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention Thursday night. But that doesn’t mean she supports him in the 2020 election. Appearing Friday on CNN with Jake Tapper—just hours after Trump issued her a full pardon—Johnson explicitly declined to endorse his campaign. During the interview, Tapper pointed out that while she “praised President Trump for his compassion” in commuting her life sentence for a first-time drug offense, she “did not formally endorse him” in her remarks. “Was that intentional?” he asked. “Do you endorse him?” “Well, you know, I’m so appreciative of […]
Protests in Wisconsin’s city of Kenosha, sparked by a video of a white police officer shooting a black man, Jacob Blake, saw violence, looting, arson, as well as two murders and one injured. To help curb unrest, the White House helped the state to deploy some 1,000 National Guard troops and 200 federal agents. Covering protests that rocked the city of Kenosha in Wisconsin, CNN rolled out a chyron saying ““FIERY BUT MOSTLY PEACEFUL PROTESTS AFTER POLICE SHOOTING”. The reporter who went live from Kenosha said that the protests were “largely peaceful” but became violent at night, while standing in front […]
Online vigilantes lined up to spew vitriol at CNN and their reporter, who described the chaos in the riots-plagued Kenosha as “mostly peaceful” protests, while showing viewers exactly the opposite. CNN’s Omar Jimenez went live from a troubled neighborhood in Kenosha, Wisconsin, telling viewers that protests – sparked by the death of African American Jacob Blake – were “largely peaceful” during the day, but that “things began to get a little bit more contentious” when night fell. As he spoke, buildings and vehicles burned in the background, with the scenes of destruction and chaos running contrary to what the network captioned […]
After the NBA suspended all playoff games on Wednesday night following a protest walkout by the Milwaukee Bucks over the police shooting of Jacob Blake, Charles Barkley shared his uncensored reaction on CNN. The former basketball star and current co-host of TNT’s Inside the NBA said the Bucks “deserve a lot of credit” for their “courageous” act of refusing to play, but his biggest question is what comes next. “What is their next game plan?” he asked. “They canceled the games for today. I think that puts tremendous pressure on the players not to play tomorrow also. So are they boycotting […]
CNN political analyst Joe Lockhart on Tuesday viciously attacked former Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann after his short speech at the Republican National Convention. “I’m watching tonight because it’s important. But i [sic] don’t have to watch this snot nose entitled kid from Kentucky,” Lockhart wrote on Twitter. Lockhart, who served as a press secretary for former president Bill Clinton, did not point out that his network had settled a $250 million defamation lawsuit earlier this year. Sandmann was targeted by mainstream media after a 2019 pro-life march in Washington, D.C. for wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat. […]
Immediately after Melania Trump’s largely humanizing and empathetic speech at Tuesday night’s Republican National Convention, the analysts and hosts at CNN were effusive with their praise for it, applauding the first lady for expressing sympathy for victims of the coronavirus pandemic and addressing racial unrest. “The first lady doing something that I don’t think that any other speaker has done in the two days of the Republican National Convention have done, addressing pointedly and movingly the No. 1 crisis issue facing the United States right now: the coronavirus pandemic,” anchor Wolf Blitzer said at the conclusion of Trump’s address. “As she […]
Senator Rand Paul’s (R-Kentucky) speech at the Republican National Convention has been butchered by major cable networks, with CNN cutting it altogether and Fox replacing the anti-war part with an interview. Paul, who frequently crossed swords with Donald Trump when both were vying to become a Republican presidential candidate in the 2016 race, admitted during his speech that he did not always agree with the president, but said that Trump’s desire to put an end to “endless wars” far outweighs their differences. “I’m supporting President Trump because he believes as I do, that a strong America cannot fight endless wars, we […]
On Sunday CNN host Brian Stelter attacked Republicans before their convention even started. Stelter, a committed CNN liberal, praised the DNC Convention last week where speakers were “largely accurate.” This was after an entire week of deluded people who believe Europe is to blame for the China virus, the Black Lives Matter riots are “mostly peaceful” and Governor Andrew Cuomo is a hero for his handling of the coronavirus! Stelter then urged left-wing outlets to interrupt GOP convention speakers with CNN far left fact-checks! And CNN did just that.On Monday, the first day of the RNC in North Carolina CNN interrupted […]
A graphic used by CNN to break down speakers at the Republican National Convention described Nick Sandmann as someone who “sued major media outlets over viral video,” leaving out important details, including their own settlement. The graphic, spotted by reporter Cameron Gray, also provided no image for Sandmann, despite doing so for others. While CNN’s description is technically correct, it is quite misleading. It is true Sandmann sued major media outlets, including CNN, but these were defamation suits stemming from a 2019 video showing the former Covington Catholic High School student seemingly mocking Nathan Phillips, a Native American protester taking part […]
As the Democratic National Convention came to a rousing close and the Republicans geared up to start their four-day affair next week, Vice President Mike Pence went on a whopping five morning shows on Friday to help make the case for another four years of Trump. On Fox & Friends, Pence fielded softball questions about Goodyear tires and Star Wars metaphors. And on CNN’s New Day, he was left squirming about Trump’s disturbing embrace of QAnon. The vice president dramatically shook his head as CNN’s John Berman reported the fact that the FBI has labeled that conspiracy-theory cult a domestic terror […]
Over the last few U.S. presidential election cycles, the major television networks have chosen to broadcast just one hour each night from the respective parties’ political conventions, usually out of concern that anything more would impact viewership numbers and ad revenues. But this year, another explanation was offered for keeping the broadcasts short: Uncertainty over what airing President Donald Trump’s coronation event might look and sound like. Multiple sources told The Daily Beast that when Democratic officials met with various broadcast network executives about their convention coverage plans, the executives stressed that they could not broadcast two hours each night in […]

GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger has called on President Donald Trump to debunk the QAnon conspiracy, saying that it has gone “mainstream” after a theory-backing Republican candidate all but secured a seat in congress after a primary win. Kinzinger, who has locked horns with Trump in the past, came out swinging against the conspiracy theory during an episode of CNN’s Reliable Sources with Brian Stelter on Sunday. GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger speaks out against QAnon and disinformation. “If you believe in this conspiracy theory stuff, especially QAnon, do some independent research. There’s a of stuff debunking it.” pic.twitter.com/GdcZgXJT5F — Reliable Sources (@ReliableSources) […]
The precise cause of the US president’s criticism remains unclear, although he is known to have an adversarial relationship with Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace, who attacked the Trump campaign in his Sunday afternoon program over its alleged birther-style attacks against recently chosen Biden running mate Kamala Harris. President Donald Trump took to Twitter Sunday to attack Fox News’ weekend afternoon content, calling it “worse than Fake News @CNN” and recommending that followers ‘turn their dial’ to @OANN,” a network he has repeatedly praised in the past, instead. “They do a really ‘Fair & Balanced’ job!’ Trump suggested. .@FoxNews is […]
White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows on Sunday defended President Donald Trump’s continued push to delegitimize mail-in voting, brushing off CNN anchor Jake Tapper’s insistence that there’s no evidence of “widespread voter fraud” by retorting that “there’s no evidence that there’s not, either.” In a wild and combative State of the Union interview that spanned nearly 30 minutes, Tapper repeatedly pressed the top aide on the president’s admission last week that he is blocking aid to the United States Postal Service in order to impede mail-in voting this fall. “They need that money in order to have the post office […]
The job of a White House reporter is no easy feat, especially under an administration which constantly refers to the press as “the enemy of the people.” But CNN Chief White House Correspondent Jim Acosta knew early on he would not back down from President Donald Trump and his administration. “When he started to call us fake news and Sean Spicer was calling us fake news and Mike Pence was calling us fake news at that infamous news conference, I just thought, you know what, that’s it I’ve had enough,” Acosta told Rick Wilson and Molly Jong-Fast on this bonus episode […]
Ramona Diaz’s latest documentary, A Thousand Cuts, stars former CNN correspondent and Rappler co-founder Maria Ressa, a formidable Filipino reporter who was born in the country yet spent much of her youth, as well as her college years, in the U.S. Ressa became famous herself when she began being targeted by the violent populist government of President Rodrigo Duterte and its online followers. The attacks have intensified to the level of political retaliation, and the government has levied multiple charges, from cyber-libel to tax fraud, against Ressa and Rappler, a news website. On June 15, Ressa was convicted of the first […]
Jake Tapper may be on vacation, but he is incapable of ignoring the news. “It’s difficult to keep away from it, just because, I mean, I am such a news junkie that any attempt to not have my phone right nearby will not work,” the CNN host told Seth Meyers Tuesday night. He said he’s “already up to speed” on the big Jonathan Swan interview, the “horrible tragedy” in Lebanon, and President Trump “flip-flopping on vote-by-mail, as long as it’s in the state he thinks he can win,” adding, “I can’t stop.” The “flip-flop” he was referring to came in a […]
CNN anchor Chris Cuomo on Tuesday night welcomed on a pair of New Jersey gym owners who have become a cause célèbre on the right for defying their state’s coronavirus restrictions, and the interview soon devolved into profanity-laced shoutfest. Over the past few months, Atilis Gym owners Ian Smith and Frank Trumbetti have been engaged in a standoff with government officials over the state’s guidelines lockdown orders, appearing on Fox News several times to build up support for their cause. Since first reopening in May in violation of New Jersey restrictions, their gym has been repeatedly shut down, and the two […]
Joe Biden’s wife confirmed in a Fox News interview that he will go through with plans for debates with President Donald Trump, ignoring the advice of some political strategists and media outlets such as CNN. “Oh yes, he will,” Jill Biden told Fox’s Dana Perino on Tuesday. “I think they’ve already, I think it’s three debates they’ve decided on. So yes, he will be there.” She added that her husband, the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, will make up his own mind rather than being swayed by those who are urging him to skip the debates. Jill Biden’s comments echoed those […]
CNN anchor Brianna Keilar on Tuesday got fed up with Trump campaign senior advisor Mercedes Schlapp during a heated exchange on mail-in voting, eventually telling the longtime lobbyist that their conversation was “pointless” because she was “just saying a bunch of crap.” Keilar, who in recent weeks has held various pro-Trump figures’ feet to the fire in combative interviews, brought on Schlapp to talk about President Donald Trump’s sudden pivot to encouraging Floridians to vote by mail after baselessly warning for months that mail-in ballots are rife with fraud. “Whether you call it Vote by Mail or Absentee Voting, in Florida […]
CNN anchor Jake Tapper took Assistant Secretary of Health Adm. Brett Giroir to task over the continuing issues with coronavirus testing, asking the coronavirus testing czar if he is “afraid” of bringing these problems up with President Donald Trump. During a contentious 20-minute interview on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday morning, Tapper repeatedly pressed Giroir on the weeklong delays in coronavirus testing results Americans are experiencing. “Are you happy where testing is right now?” Tapper asked, prompting Giroir to say he’s “never going to be happy” until they have the pandemic under control. While acknowledging that testing is still […]
CNN has whipped up an army of outraged Twitter liberals after it slammed a network of local news stations for airing an interview with a disgraced scientist who blamed Dr Anthony Fauci for the coronavirus. Dr Judy Mikovits is the star of ‘Plandemic,’ a conspiracy documentary claiming that Covid-19 is a ploy by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases head Dr Anthony Fauci and Bill Gates to poison the masses with vaccines and get rich doing so. The film has been pulled from YouTube, censored in internet searches, and denounced by almost every single mainstream media outlet. Mikovits, however, will […]
CNN anchor Brianna Keilar tore into Fox News medical contributor Dr. Marc Siegel on Thursday, taking aim at Siegel’s Trump-friendly coronavirus coverage and downplaying of the pandemic while labeling him a “sycophant.” Coming off an obsequious interview with President Donald Trump that saw the president telling Siegel he was his coronavirus “guide,” the Fox News doctor on Thursday gushed over the president’s ability to recall five words. “In a sense, that interview was a cognitive test. As you know, he is extremely sharp on every second,” Siegel said on Fox & Friends. “And he did a test on TV where he […]
After Roger Ailes was finally ousted from Fox News in 2016 for his long history of sexual harassment and assault, Brian Stelter asked former Fox host and current CNN colleague Alisyn Camerota if Fox was “rotten to its core.” “I said something like ‘no, it’s not rotten to the core, there are good people there just trying to do their jobs,’” Camerota told Stelter Tuesday morning on CNN’s New Day. “I’d like to amend my answer now, if I may. Because given everything that has come out since then, I guess it is rotten to the core. I guess even though […]
This is just so typical. The liberal media mocks and disrespects people of faith in America all the time.

CNN anchor Poppy Harlow on Friday shut down Trump campaign spokesperson Mercedes Schlapp over the president’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, pointing out how many times the president has said the virus that’s killed nearly 140,000 Americans would just “go away” and “disappear.” In a contentious 15-minute CNN interview, Schlapp was steamrolled almost immediately by Harlow, who came prepared with a list of facts to push back on the Trump flack’s inevitable spin. After tangling over the issue of mask mandates and how experts show they could stem the spread of the disease, Harlow brought up a patient who recently died, […]
CNN anchor Brianna Keilar on Wednesday clashed with a Republican state lawmaker who is suing over mask mandates, eventually pointing out that he is not a “public health expert” while noting he’s already had one case tossed out. With coronavirus cases and hospitalizations spiking in Florida as the nation deals with a prolonged surge, Florida State Rep. Anthony Sabatini has attempted to challenge county ordinances in the state requiring face masks in businesses, claiming the mandates are constitutional violations. Appearing on CNN Newsroom, Sabatini immediately justified his lawsuits, claiming the ordinances are “unconstitutional” and that mask mandates violate the privacy of citizens. […]
On Monday New York Governor Andrew Cuomo released a poster at his press conference Monday that celebrates his response to the COVID-19 China coronavirus that devastated New York state and especially New York City this year. New York state ended up being the epicenter of the coronavirus. The state totaled over 32,000 deaths. The new poster is cynically topped with a statement by Cuomo, “Wake Up America! Forget the Politics, Get Smart!” This is an outrageous statement by the New York Governor especially considering New York State has the worst coronavirus numbers in the world. The mortality rate in New York […]
Top rated Fox News Channel host Tucker Carlson announced a “long planned” trout fishing vacation Monday night after a senior writer on his show Blake Neff resigned in disgrace after racist and sexist comments he posted anonymously online were exposed by CNN late last week.

Carlson addressed the resignation of Neff and his own vacation plans in separate segments on Monday’s show. Here’s how @TuckerCarlson addressed his former top writer […]
Unlike J.K. Rowling or Donald Trump, Reza Aslan knows what it’s like to be “canceled.” On the evening of June 3, 2017, a van barreled into a crowd of pedestrians on London Bridge before its passengers emerged, stabbing onlookers in nearby Borough Market. Before their blood was even dry, or the culprits’ identities revealed, President Donald Trump tweeted, “We need to be smart, vigilant and tough. We need the courts to give us back our rights. We need the Travel Ban as an extra level of safety!” That Trump was using an in-progress terrorist attack as justification for his so-called “Muslim […]

White House trade adviser Peter Navarro appeared on CNN on Tuesday morning for yet another off-the-rails interview, this time devoting much of his energy to promoting anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine following a disputed new study finding some efficacy in treating the coronavirus. Last week, in the wake of the Food and Drug Administration revoking the emergency use of hydroxychloroquine due to serious safety issues and lack of benefit for COVID-19 patients, a Michigan study found the Trump-touted drug helped patients survive from the virus. The findings, however, were quickly disputed by other experts, who noted that the study excluded a large number […]

In its latest attempt to tar US President Donald Trump’s event at Mt.

As putting together sensational reports citing unnamed sources seemingly becomes a trend for mainstream media, CNN described the insane way the US president conducted his phone talks.

CNN star Van Jones has a habit of upsetting his fellow Black activists, progressive policy advocates, and liberal Democrats by cozying up to the Trump White House. He did it again late last month, during the flap over a Black bird watcher in Central Park and a white Hillary Clinton voter who dialed 911 after refusing his pleas to leash her dog. Jones enraged Hillary loyalists—already exasperated by his willingness to concede her flaws as a 2016 presidential candidate in televised food nights with Trump acolyte Kayleigh McEnany—when he compared Clinton supporters unfavorably to the Klan. “It’s not the racist white […]

Twitter has removed a satirical video shared by US President Donald Trump – a parody CNN clip it flagged as “manipulated media” after the broadcaster saw red over the tweet and following complaints from the footage’s owner. The meme clip, which featured mock CNN chyron and was meant as a dig at what Trump and his supporters see as biased media coverage of his presidency, was pulled on Friday after a company representing the original creators of the video complained to social media platforms, saying the footage was used without permission. In addition to Twitter, Facebook has also deleted the clip. […]
Trump’s video caused waves on social media, as it showed an edited version of earlier viral footage of one black and one white toddler – known to be friends – running toward each other and hugging, with dark music and CNN-like captions and an end comment of “America isn’t the problem. Fake news is”. Facebook and Twitter have removed the so-called ‘racist baby’ video earlier posted by US President Donald Trump following a copyright claim by one of the parents of a toddler in the video. Before it was taken down, it had over 4 million views on Facebook and over […]
An image of CNN protecting its Atlanta headquarters from protesters with a fence has inspired many to go after the network for constantly questioning President Donald Trump’s support of a southern border wall. The photo of CNN’s fortified headquarters went viral on Friday, as many conservatives blasted the network for hypocrisy, based on its past coverage of both the proposed border wall between the US and Mexico and the protests over George Floyd’s death. CNN is home to a gallery of commentators who are vocally opposed to Trump’s border wall, and the network’s news coverage has been skeptical of the idea. […]
Twitter has again slapped a “manipulated media” tag on a tweet from US President Donald Trump – a meme video mocking CNN – prompting cheers from the #Resistance, which apparently missed what many saw as an “obvious joke.” Shared to Twitter by the president on Thursday evening, the post played off an old viral video showing two toddlers, one black and one white, as they run to embrace one another. Parodying the adorable clip, Trump’s tweet features a mock CNN chyron captioned “Terrified toddler runs from racist baby.” Twitter, however, apparently decided that netizens would have a hard time telling actual CNN news […]
Twitter censored President Trump again on Thursday night. The President tweeted out a hilarious video mocking fake news CNN and Twitter jumped in and labeled it “manipulated media.” The ‘doctored’ video was a spoof on a previous report by CNN of a black and white toddler hugging. “Terrified toddler runs from racist baby.” CNN’s chyron said in the parody video.

Facebook fact-checker Lead Stories is a biased outfit bristling with ex-CNN staffers that presents itself as neutral, despite most of its employees having donated to the Democratic Party, a conservative outlet has revealed. The National Pulse (TNP), whose story about supposed financial links between Black Lives Matter, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, and fundraiser ActBlue was flagged as “partly false” by Lead Stories on Facebook, did some digging on Wednesday to find out who was behind the smear, after their efforts to contest the label were apparently stonewalled. Alan Duke didn’t want to speak, and urged me to email him to […]
On Thursday CNN political reporter Oliver Darcy, who defended the anarchist Seattle Autonomous Zone, published a hit piece on conservative publishers. Oliver Darcy, whose primary purpose at the network is to silence conservative voices, published a hit piece on The Gateway Pundit, Breitbart, and others. Says Darcy: “Right-wing websites like Breitbart and The Gateway Pundit have also pushed the narrative that armed Antifa members have begun seizing land.“Antifa is reportedly seeking armed volunteers to take turns manning barricades and holding ground that protesters have seized within Seattle city limits,” a Wednesday Breitbart article said.That report relied on a post from the […]

US President Donald Trump’s campaign has issued a cease and desist letter to CNN and threatened to pursue further legal actions over a recent “anti-Trump poll” that it claims was part of an attempt to “misinform and mislead actual voters.” The cease and desist letter, issued by the campaign’s Senior Legal Adviser Jenna Ellis and Chief Operating Officer Michael Glassner, formally requested that CNN retract its “skewed [June 8] poll by publishing a full, fair and conspicuous retraction, apology and clarification to correct its misleading conclusions.” “The CNN poll out today is another skewed anti-Trump poll of only 25% Republican.

CNN anchor Jake Tapper repeatedly pressed Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson on Sunday over his boss President Donald Trump amplifying right-wing attacks on George Floyd’s character while the nation is gripped in social unrest over racism and police brutality. As large protests continued to take place across the country over Floyd’s death at the hands of Minneapolis police, the president retweeted a clip on Friday of right-wing provocateurs Candace Owens and Glenn Beck trashing Floyd. During an interview on CNN’s State of the Union, Tapper asked Carson about his personal calls for unity and how the president has acted. […]
This is CNN. Tim Wise, a radical left-wing activist, proposed abusing white children in the wake of George Floyd’s death during an appearance on CNN Thursday. “I think that the important thing for white parents to keep in the front of our mind is that if black children in this country are not allowed innocence and childhood without fear of being killed by police or marginalized in some other way, then our children don’t deserve innocence,” Wise said. “If Tamir Rice can be shot dead in the public park playing with a toy gun, something white children do all over this […]
Following President Trump’s visit to the torched church the Episcopal Bishop Mariann Budde attacked the US President for holding a Bible at the church without her permission. This woman is completely out of her mind. It’s not clear why this woman believes she gets to decide who can, and who cannot, carry a Bible.How awful. DC Episcopal Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde: “Let me be clear: The President just used a Bible, the most sacred text of the Judeo-Christian tradition, and one of the churches of my diocese, without permission, as a backdrop for a message antithetical to the teachings of Jesus.” […]
Immediately following President Donald Trump’s Rose Garden address to the nation, as military police continued to fire tear gas and rubber bullets at peaceful protesters, CNN host Don Lemon delivered a stark message to viewers about what they were watching. “This was a made for television moment,” Lemon said. “Open your eyes, America. Open your eyes. We are teetering on a dictatorship. This is chaos.” “Is the president declaring war on Americans?” he asked. “What is happening here? He’s saying he wants to protect peaceful protesters at the same time sending law enforcement and military into the streets to push peaceful […]

CNN Center, the cable network’s Atlanta headquarters, came under furious attack Friday night during protests over police brutality sparked by the death of an unarmed black man in Minneapolis. A largely peaceful demonstration erupted first in vandalism, then in violence. Cops used pepper spray, and then some in the crowd were seen smashing windows and defacing the giant CNN sign with spray-paint. Down the street, a police car was set ablaze. CNN correspondent Nick Valencia began reporting on the frightening scene from a stairway inside the building, behind a phalanx of SWAT officers in the lobby, with an angry mob standing […]

CNN and MSNBC have done everything they can over the last few months to politicize the Coronavirus crisis. They have blamed Trump, and his supporters, accused them of being stupid and selfish. They have stoked fear over Republican governors opening their states and have tried to make the shutdowns go on longer. Tucker Carlson did an excellent monologue about it this week.

CNN waited 12 hours to cover Joe Biden’s “you ain’t black” comment — while ABC, CBS, and NBC averaged only one minute of discussion about his shocking remarks. According to a report from Media Research Center, the evening newscasts from ABC, NBC, and CBS spent a combined 187 seconds talking about the comment that sent shock waves through social media. “The comments made at the end of the Breakfast Club interview were in jest” Unbelievable. This is what Biden said, “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t Black” Watch for yourself. It […]
Days after White House trade adviser Peter Navarro faced criticism from within the Trump administration for blasting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, CNN anchor Jake Tapper valiantly tried and failed on Wednesday to get Navarro to address the controversy. During an appearance on Meet the Press this past Sunday, Navarro threw the CDC under the bus, fully blaming the center for the administration’s early issues with coronavirus testing and claiming it “really let the country down” due to bad tests. Navarro’s remarks about the CDC were quickly rebuked by Health and Human Services Sec. Alex Azar, who told Fox […]

As officials in the Russian capital are increasing Covid-19 testing in a bid to pinpoint the number of infected people, CNN runs an emotive headline claiming that more than just the city has been badly hit by the pandemic. “Coronavirus has devastated Moscow. Now it’s spreading across Russia’s 11 time zones to ill-funded regions,” says the strongly worded title of the piece by the network’s Moscow bureau chief, Nathan Hodge. However, the actual copy, albeit not offering much praise for the Russian authorities, offers a more sober view of the situation. Still, it has to attract readers somehow. The piece mentions […]

CNN put out a new poll on Thursday that shows President Trump is crushing presumptive Democratic presidential nominee in key battleground states — but the liberal “news” network downplayed that finding to the point of hilarity. “CNN Poll: Biden tops Trump nationwide, but battlegrounds tilt Trump,” said the headline. “Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s lead over President Donald Trump now stands at five points, but Trump has an edge in the critical battleground states that could decide the electoral college, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS. “Could”?

President Trump has been experimenting with new formats for holding press briefings since the daily COVID-19 Chinese coronavirus task force briefings devolved into daily brawls with obnoxious reporters deliberately distorting Trump’s comments to make him come off as if he wanted to poison Americans with disinfectants. Monday afternoon Trump tried a Rose Garden setting with reporters wearing mandatory masks after two White House staffers tested positive for the virus last week. The subject was increased testing to get the country ready for reopening. The press conference was going reasonably well, with reporters asking questions and follow-ups without incident until Trump called […]
Brian Karem, White House reporter for Playboy and a CNN analyst, posted a photo of a cockroach seen in the White House press room Monday, tagging President Trump after describing the pest as a “nice big cockroach” at the White House.

But this is Brian Karem, the reporter who insulted guests of President Trump and sparred with Sebastian Gorka at a Rose Garden event last year. “NOW: few reporters but a nice big cockroach at the WH. @realDonaldTrump” NOW: few reporters but a nice big cockroach […]
CNN does news 24/7/365. But the uber-liberal network couldn’t find one second — not a single second — to cover the credible sexual assault accusation against presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden. Tara Reade, who says Biden accosted her in 1993 and inserted a finger into her vagina, appeared online on Fox News on Thursday — her first public appearance since her making her allegations.

She might not have a job at a television network, but Megyn Kelly beat out Fox News’ Chris Wallace and CNN’s Don Lemon for the highly sought-after interview with Joe Biden accuser Tara Reade—and it pretty much fell into her lap. Indeed, according to Kelly, it was Reade—after cancelling scheduled sit-downs with Wallace and Lemon over the weekend—who pitched the former Fox News and NBC anchor, not the other way around. “I had no plans on going and doing an interview, but we got to talking and she said she’d been trying to reach me, trying to find ways to get […]

The White House has confirmed the report, adding that both Trump and Vice President Mike Pence subsequently tested negative for the virus “and they remain in great health.” CNN claimed the president was “upset” to learn […]
