The Lead

A CNN political commentator on the network had a mini-meltdown Wednesday during coverage of protests over Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis cracking down on racial and sexual courses and books in Florida public schools. 

The corporate media on Monday rushed to the defense of President Biden, after his administration waited a full week to shoot down a Chinese spy balloon that flew over the continental U.S. last week.

On Friday, The Lead with Jake Tapper on CNN investigated the currently prominent "He Gets Us" TV ads promoting Jesus in terms meant to please centrists and liberals. Comically, CNN presented this largely as a right-wing conspiracy. 

Not long after Speaker McCarthy warned on Tuesday that he received a classified intelligence briefing from the FBI about Congressman Eric Swalwell (D-CA) that concerned him enough to pull his Intelligence Committee assignment, some of CNN’s purported journalists on The Lead – including host Jake Tapper – pretended not to know why the compromised Congressman shouldn’t be allowed to…

On Thursday’s edition of The Lead, fill-in CNN host Phil Mattingly pointed out the incompetence of the former campaign team for Robert Zimmerman, the New York Democrat who was defeated in the 2022 midterm election by embattled Congressman-elect George Santos. It was recently revealed that an absurd number of autobiographical claims Santos made on the campaign trail were whole-cloth…

On Friday’s The Lead with Jake Tapper, CNN’s resident historian Douglas Brinkley fretted that Americans aren’t clamoring for far-left 1970s-style environmental policies, even as he saluted California Governor Gavin Newsom as a “hero” for pushing for the utterly unrealistic policy of banning all fossil fuel cars in the next dozen years.

Instead of admitting that President Biden's student loan election bribe has no constitutional or legal merit to begin with, CNN stoked rage at the U.S. Supreme Court for refusing to lift federal court injunctions that are preventing the “forgiveness” of certain student loans. The liberal outlet also lamented that the Biden administration had to send out letters disappointing those who already…

CNN’s in-house Biden spokesman Jake Tapper had a dyspeptic episode over pesky GOPers who claim Big Tech “rigged” the 2020 election by censoring one of the most important stories in recent years.

CNN continued its programming overhaul with a huge release Thursday revealing that, starting October 10 and going through the week of the midterm elections, Jake Tapper will move to primetime to takeover the 9:00 p.m. Eastern timeslot previously held by Chris Cuomo.

The cultural left never stops trying to drag America into their supposedly glorious “tolerant” future where we have an ever-expanding array of gender identities and grade-school children know as much about masturbation as they do about multiplication. Unsurprisingly, CNN is promoting left-wing “anti-censorship” groups raging against conservative parents who object to precocious pornographic…

In the immediate wake of the world learning that former Soviet dictator Mikhail Gorbachev was finally acting like a good communist, CNN’s immediate reaction was to air glowing eulogies for a man who led one of the most evil empires in human history. In back-to-back hours on Tuesday, CNN showed “intense sadness” and took part in revisionist history claiming Gorbachev was the one responsible for…

Even when CNN covers the rapidly metastasizing Hunter Biden scandal that is in danger of devouring the entire Biden administration, the leftist network only covers the President’s delinquent drug addict son in a sympathetic and loving way. 

With President Biden’s announcement on Thursday that he had tested positive for COVID-19, CNN saw a chance to both reinstill fear and hysteria in the hearts and minds of viewers over the virus as well as throw punches at former President Trump for how his own diagnosis transpired in October 2020. Among the craziest takes, one CNN medical contributor invoked the pandemic alongside the…

On Wednesday afternoon's The Lead on CNN, anchor Jake Tapper had a random act of journalism when interviewing Cecilia Rouse the chairwoman of the Council of Economic Advisers on the topic of the astronomical inflation numbers that the Biden administration has unleashed on American consumers over the past year and a half he's been in office.
