The Lead

Nick Arama at RedState pointed out that "Facts First" CNN isn't just falsely reporting Israeli airstrikes on hospitals that never happened. They can't even seem to locate Tel Aviv on a map. Blink, and you might miss it, but in the Friday edition of Jake Tapper's show The Lead, they briefly posted a completely inaccurate map of Israel. CNN got roasted on Twitter. 

On Wednesday afternoon, three different Israeli officials — including a former prime minister — took to CNN airwaves to lambaste the network and the rest of the liberal media for their instinctual rush to accept Hamas’s premise (under the guise of the “Palestinian Health Ministry”) that Israel had targeted a Gaza hospital Tuesday night for slaughter. In reality, it was a misfired rocket by…

After the shock of 9/11 wore off, the American media turned toward their natural disposition of worrying about Muslims being discriminated against -- and brutalized -- by ignorant Americans. Now, after what some call Israel's 9/11, we've reached the phase where the media turns once again to that American Islamophobia narrative.

On Thursday, CNN had a number of horribly pro-Hamas moments from both correspondents and guests, including an insane insinuation that Israel was to blame for Gazans not having bomb shelters and attempts to equivocate the work of a terrorist organization in Hamas with Israeli air strikes.

Having been with CNN for over two decades and a foreign journalist for more than three decades, CNN international diplomatic editor Nic Robertson has seen plenty coveringnatural disasters, terror attacks, and war zones. But on Monday’s The Lead, he was repeatedly on the verge of breaking down in tears describing what he called “callous, cruel, cold-blooded killing” of Israelis and…

On Thursday, CNN’s Jake Tapper must have been longing for the days when former boss Jeff Zucker would command him through his earpiece as House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) laid out the evidence of President Joe Biden’s alleged corruption on The Lead. Throughout the over nine-minute long (9:30) interview Comer repeatedly countered Tapper’s defense of the President…

Not only have ABC, CBS, and NBC not been interested in Wednesday’s reporting from the House Oversight Committee that the Bidens have taken in $20 million in payments and some coming from foreign oligarchs, but MSNBC has similarly punted and put the proverbial fingers in their ears like Jim Carrey in Dumb and Dumber.

Liberal media outlets are forever congratulating Democrats for "trailblazer" candidates. On Wednesday's The Lead with Jake Tapper, CNN turned its focus on Delaware, where an open House seat could be won by Sarah McBride, a former Beau Biden aide who is transgender. They not only congratulated McBride for her "historic" possibility, but for open that "lifelong Catholic" Joe Biden's…

On June 15, Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) accused CNN’s Kailtan Collins of referring to Judge Aileen Cannon as “Trump-appointed” in order to instill doubt in the Trump documents case and questioned whether she would do the same if the judge was appointed by Barack Obama. Collins defended herself by saying “We talk about who judges were appointed by all the time.” Now, less than one week later we…

On Tuesday, CNN Tonight co-host Alisyn Camerota took to the airwaves during The Lead With Jake Tapper to bemoan that the Fox News Channel was able to settle out of court in the Dominion lawsuit for about half of the original 1.6 billion dollar lawsuit without apologizing. She declared that this was a “victory for Fox” and that this was “the best outcome that Fox could ever…

In the run-up to the formal indictment of former President Trump on Tuesday, many in the liberal media were chomping at the bit to see the statement of facts behind New York D.A. Alvin Bragg’s case. But following the release of the document, the wind was taken out of their sails early Wednesday night as even the most anti-Trump legal experts and talking heads were forced to admit the case was…

NewsBusters Managing Editor Curtis Houck made three appearances on the late Friday/early Saturday edition of the Fox News Channel’s Fox News @ Night and the first couldn’t have been any more different than the others. In the first, he took on ugly smears last Sunday of Nikki Haley by New York Times opinion writer Wajahat Ali and ABC’s Joy Behar saying East Palestine, Ohio…

On Tuesday's The Lead show, CNN host Jake Tapper did his part to promote transgender surgery for underage teens as he devoted a segment to fretting over Idaho's push for a state ban. Republicans only stood for "cruelty" and "meanness" that is somehow against God.

The good Jake Tapper made an appearance Tuesday in the second hour of CNN’s The Lead as he did a segment with his panel calling out New York Times opinion writer and MSNBC guest Wajahat Ali for his racist and sexist smear Sunday of 2024 GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley as “us[ing] her brown skin to launder white supremacist talking points.” At one point, Tapper said it…
