Robotic Hacks: CNNers Bash Trump’s ‘Politics of Hate’ on Baltimore
July 29th, 2019 6:49 PM
CNN has gone after Sinclair Broadcast Group for having affiliates read scripts about fake news. But what about CNN’s penchant for identical segments with little independence for its hosts? Well, an example popped up Monday with the President criticizing Baltimore for its rampant crime, decrepit conditions, and Congressman Elijah Cummings (D-MD), who’s gerrymandered-district includes much of…

Jake Tapper Fails to Challenge Bernie Sanders on Baltimore Hypocrisy
July 28th, 2019 3:00 PM
Jake Tapper had an elephant in the room in the form of Bernie Sanders on Sunday's CNN State of the Union and very noticeably avoided addressing his hypocrisy in slamming President Donald Trump for tweeting critically about the living conditions in Baltimore. In 2015, Sanders made very similar remarks as Trump about Baltimore, comparing it to a Third World country filled with hundreds of…

July 24th, 2019 4:09 PM
During a brief break in Wednesday afternoon’s House Intelligence Committee hearing with former Special Counsel Robert Mueller, CNN again did its best to keep the faith for their boss Jeffrey Zucker and fellow lefties amidst their permanent impeachment campaign, hailing the hearing as part of a “Watergate roadmap” to begin ridding America of President Trump.

MOP-UP: CNN Hails ‘Bombshell’ Hearing as ‘Big Deal,’ ‘Bad’ for Trump
July 24th, 2019 1:49 PM
While others in the liberal media conceded that Wednesday morning’s House hearing with former Special Counsel Robert Mueller didn’t go as swimmingly as planned, CNN largely operated in an alternate reality concocted by Marvel’s Doctor Strange. Instead, the analysts and hosts triumphantly hailed the hearing’s contents as a “big deal,” a “bombshell,” and “really bad” for Trump that it was “almost…

Tapper, Brinkley Compare Trump to Huey Long, George Wallace
July 19th, 2019 3:07 PM
CNN host Jake Tapper devoted a large amount of Thursday’s edition of The Lead to covering the chants of “send her back” that erupted during President Trump’s rally in North Carolina the night before when he brought up Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, a refugee from Somalia who is now an American citizen. Tapper and his guests used the chants as an excuse to paint President Trump as a racist and compare…

Solid: Tapper Grills McGrath About Comparing Trump’s Election to 9/11
July 10th, 2019 5:59 PM
Amidst the liberal media’s Beto-like treatment for Kentucky senatorial candidate Amy McGrath (D) and NBC’s hit piece against McGrath opponent and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, CNN’s The Lead host Jake Tapper didn’t follow in lockstep on Tuesday, pressing McGrath on her long odds and her gross analogy comparing the 2016 election to September 11, 2001.

Tapper to AOC: Did You Call Them Concentration Camps Before Trump?
June 28th, 2019 10:02 AM
It’s quite rare you see a journalist actually grill a Democrat, particularly on his/her hypocritical partisanship. On CNN’s The Lead with Jake Tapper Thursday afternoon, the host repeatedly pressed outspoken Democrat congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to answer for inflammatory comments she’s made recently about the border and the Trump administration, which have largely escaped media…

June 24th, 2019 10:56 PM
Vice President Mike Pence appeared on State of the Union Sunday, where host Jake Tapper obsessed over climate change. Channeling his inner Al Gore, Tapper repeatedly used the alarmist and emotionally charged phrase “climate emergency” as he attempted to expose the Vice President as what Joy Behar would call a “climate change denier” multiple times.

MSNBC Downgrades Most of Dem Debate Field as ‘and More’
June 22nd, 2019 12:15 PM
In the first season of the classic TV show Gilligan’s Island, the professor and Mary Ann were downgraded by the show’s theme song to “and the rest.” MSNBC did that for most of the 2020 Democratic candidates in a new ad airing this week. An announcer hyped the event even as people like Senator Amy Klobuchar and Congressman Tim Ryan were dismissed: “Two nights that will make history. Next Wednesday…

CNN's Blow: Wrong to Ask If Gun Control Would Have Stopped Shootings
June 11th, 2019 8:47 AM
On Friday's Real Time show on HBO, liberal CNN contributor and New York Times columist Charles Blow complained that journalists should not ask Democrats if their gun control plans would actually have prevented a particular mass shooting, even though they themselves regularly start off by implying that there would be such an effect in the aftermath of high-profile shootings.
CNN Has Double-Digit Monthly Ratings Loss in Primetime … Again
June 5th, 2019 9:20 AM
If it weren’t for bad luck, CNN would have no luck at all -- especially when it comes to ratings during the network’s vitally important primetime schedule. In May, the channel lost 16 percent of its weekday evening audience from the previous month, falling to just 761,000 viewers and winding up dead last among such cable networks as liberal rival MSNBC and the dominant Fox News Channel.

Wow: CNN Actually Grills 2020 Dem on Effectiveness of Gun Control Plan
June 3rd, 2019 8:58 AM
2020 Democrat Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) probably didn’t expect to actually have to defend his own policies when he appeared on CNN Sunday, but that’s exactly what did happen. CNN’s Jake Tapper had Booker on his show, State of the Union early Sunday, where he immediately pressed the Democrat to explain how his gun control plan would have prevented the recent shooting massacre in Virginia Beach.

VIDEO: Media Called it ‘Spying’ in 2018, So Why the Fake Outrage?
May 1st, 2019 7:15 PM
Cable news talking heads suffered a collective conniption on Wednesday at Attorney General William Barr’s continued use of the word “spying” in reference to an FBI informant in the Trump campaign. Yet many of those melting down over this so-called “loaded language” had previously (repeatedly) used that same term in reference to the FBI’s surveillance of former Trump campaign official Carter Page.

Opposition Hacks: CNN Cheers 2020 Dems Fighting ‘Defensive’ Barr
May 1st, 2019 6:26 PM
Despite laying out the arguments from both sides following Wednesday’s Senate hearing with Attorney General Bill Barr, CNN Newsroom’s panel of analysts and hosts repeatedly illustrated before, during, and afterward that they would dutifully play the role of not just liberal partisans, but carry water for 2020 Democratic presidential candidates by attacking the “defensive” Barr who’s leaving “his…
