Column: The Hunter Biden Omission Continues
It’s a feeling you get that echoes last fall, a sense that every new example of investigative journalism on the Hunter Biden laptop is going to be ignored by the “mainstream media.” The latest New York Post report is as ignored as the first.
CNN Spends Nearly 3x More in 12 Hrs on Cheney Than Economic Crises
On Wednesday, CNN showed a further commitment to unseriousness and a refusal to engage in basic journalism by spending nearly three times (2.72) times more time over a 12-hour period on Congresswoman Liz Cheney (R-WY) losing a role in House GOP leadership than the multiple economic crises facing the country, ranging from the Colonial pipeline hack to gasoline shortages to inflation to stagnant…
REWIND: CNN, MSNBC Spent 50 Mins Analyzing Trump’s West Point Visit
On Friday morning, President Joe Biden repeatedly fell up the steps of Air Force One at Andrews Air Force Base and almost immediately, comparisons ensued as conservatives and Republicans recalled the liberal media’s wall-to-wall coverage of then-President Trump holding of a water glass and walking slowly down a ramp at the June 13, 2020 West Point commencement. A NewsBusters analysis has found…
CNN FINALLY Covers Cuomo Claims...But Gives It 96 Seconds in Two Days
After over 24 hours of silence, CNN decided to acknowledge on Thursday Lindsey Boylan’s sexual harassment claims against Prime Time host Chris Cuomo’s brother and Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) and the latest blows in the state’s nursing home scandal, but only tossed scraps to the viewers they treat like small-brained proles with only 96 seconds over two news briefs. Worse yet, neither brief…
Jake Tapper Doubts Paralyzed Vet Is Committed to America After No Vote
Wednesday afternoon during the second Trump impeachment vote, CNN’s The Lead and State of the Union co-host Jake Tapper lobbed a disgusting and vile attack on Republican Congressman Brian Mast (FL) for voting against impeachment, questioning whether the Army veteran and double-amputee is truly committed to upholding and defending the Constitution and American democracy.
CNN Gives 23 Mins to Nurse’s Dubious Claims Trashing COVID Patients
In the latest blow to CNN’s claim to be a news organization, National Review and Wired found last week that their much-heralded November 16 interview with South Dakota nurse Jodi Doering trashing her patients had more than a few holes. While Doering’s story drew widespread attention by over a half dozen CNNers, neither outlet find anyone to confirm Doering’s claims of coronavirus…
Tapper Leads Off Election Eve Coverage With Venomous Rant
On Monday afternoon’s The Lead with Jake Tapper, CNN host Jake Tapper led off his show with a venomous attack on President Trump. Tapper accused Trump of being “incredibly reckless” for hosting campaign events on the eve of the election and claimed that America “is on edge” due to Trump.
Tapper Aids Biden in Trump Hate-Fest, Lets Him LIE About NoKo Talks
While CNN host Jake Tapper would eventually press Democratic nominee Joe Biden on his support for NAFTA and “favored country status” for China, his interview with the former Vice President (taped Wednesday and aired Thursday) was largely a Trump-bashing session. It featured Tapper repeatedly teeing up his 2020 candidate to take swings at his favorite hate object. Tapper even let Biden lie…
CNN IN LOVE: Kamala Is a ‘Fighter,’ ‘Remarkable Moment’ for America
Having received word Tuesday afternoon that Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) would be Joe Biden’s running mate, CNN was smitten and thus Zuckerville citizens had their marching orders. In the moments after the announcement, she was hailed as a “fighter,” “historic” figure making for a “remarkable moment” that will help “expand” America’s “imagination” “about who can lead.”
FAIL: CNNer Ties Possible Trump Gettysburg Visit...to the Confederacy?
Twice on Monday, CNN White House correspondent Jeremy Diamond insisted the possibility of President Trump giving his Republican nomination acceptance speech at Gettysburg was “controversial” and “notable” seeing as how Trump “has consistently position[ed] himself as a defender of Confederate symbols and monuments to Confederate generals.” In other words, Diamond insinuated that Trump was…
Tapper Throws a Fit, Implies Jordan Is Dishonorable, Bad for America
For his many years of admirable, fair journalism, CNN host Jake Tapper has taken a turn in the last few years from a fair, laudable newsman calling out all sides to an anti-Trump pundit armed with emotion-filled, sophomoric commentaries and snarky chyrons. Such was the case on Tuesday’s The Lead when he condescendingly accused Congressman Jim Jordan (R-OH) of being not only dishonest…
After Andrew Cuomo Bashed Him on CNN, Tapper Goes Silent
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) joined Thursday's 3:00 p.m. Eastern hour of CNN Newsroom and host Kate Bolduan to discuss his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and attack Jake Tapper for criticism Wednesday of his victory lap and related poster. After Cuomo accused Tapper of not knowing what he was talking about, Tapper seemed to acquiesce and spent Thursday's Lead…
Repulsive Liberal Media Spin Trump's Hope Speech into Hate Speech
On Friday night, President Trump began the Fourth of July weekend with a 42-minute speech celebrating American history, our Founding documents, and patriotism at Mount Rushmore. Naturally, CNN and MSNBC chose to declare it “a culture war bonfire,” “a love letter to white supremacy,” “divisive,” and laden with “racist dog whistles.” MRC analysts examined CNN and MSNBC’s Friday and Saturday…
CNN Reporter Bashes Mount Rushmore as 'Monument of Two Slave Owners'
On Friday, conservative Twitter "pounced" on CNN reporter Leyla Santiago as she told Jake Tapper that Trump will speak at Mount Rushmore, where he'll stand "in front of a monument of two slave owners, and on land wrestled away from Native Americans."
