The Situation Room

POLL: What Was the Worst Media Take of the Week?

Actress and expatriate Rosie O’Donnell joined CNN’s Tuesday installment of The Situation Room to promote a new documentary about her, her autistic daughter, and her service dog. Before that, however, host Wolf Blitzer had to discuss politics, which included O’Donnell’s flight to Ireland on behalf of her “non-binary child” and watching President Trump “destroy the country.”

CNN senior justice correspondent Evan Perez did his best Daniel Dale impression on Thursday’s episode of The Situation Room, where he attempted to fact-check President Trump’s assessment of Harvard, in his words, as a “cesspool of leftist thinking,” as false because conservatives, such as Ted Cruz, have attended the school.

On Wednesday, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that the Justice Department is suing Maine for violations of Title IX because it refuses to protect the competitive integrity of women’s sports, but CNN’s chief legal affairs correspondent Paula Reid didn’t understand what the big deal was. According to her, the state only has two transgender high school athletes that compete in women’s…

If you tuned into CNN and/or MSNBC on Thursday morning, the message was clear based on their coverage of supposed “anger” at congressional Republicans over the Trump agenda and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and hits from the left at Democratic town halls: Blue wave incoming! Nevermind these protests at GOP town halls — including one Wednesday night they were warm and…

CNN’s Wolf Blitzer tried repeatedly to goad former liberal Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer into attacking both his former colleagues and President Donald Trump on Wednesday’s edition of The Situation Room.

CNN senior political commentator and network ratings driver Scott Jennings dove headfirst Tuesday into The Situation Room by making clear Americans are actually not dissatisfied with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and then schooling liberal panelists on unelected bureaucrats running the country and liberals being “collect[ed] like Pokemon cards” by liberal billionaire…

As first reported last year by Puck’s Dylan Byers and then confirmed last week in detail by former CNN media reporter Oliver Darcy, CNN pulled the trigger Thursday on massive layoffs — to the tune of roughly 200 people — at the once proud network-turned-Resistance-hive-turned-ratings gadfly. CNN boss Mark Thompson announced the six-percent workforce cut would be accompanied by a massive…

Former conservative reporter-turned-liberal-media apologist Oliver Darcy spent the last few days leaking out news from his former employer about a new direction for the TV side of CNN that, while not radical in changing its liberal ideology, would be radical in personnel movement with Wolf Blitzer poised to host mornings and Jim Acosta possibly being banished to midnight Eastern.

CNN announced on Tuesday during The Situation Room that they had won the unofficial sweepstakes between the liberal media broadcast and cable networks to score the first sit-down interview with the uber-sheltered Vice President Kamala Harris since she was coronated the Democrat Party’s presidential candidate on July 21 after President Biden was forced out. Chief political…

With President Joe Biden set to speak during Night One of the Democratic National Convention on Monday – to quickly get out the way of Vice President Kamala Harris – some of the folks at CNN were preparing people for some major waterworks. Throughout the day, far-left CNN commentators Van Jones and Bakari Sellers predicted everyone in the arena (including babies) would be left crying for the…

As the third night of the Republican National Convention begins, critiques surrounding J.D. Vance before his formal convention speech is rising amongst many in the Liberal media. It is apparent that with little to complain about regarding Donald Trump, Vance has become their next target. CNN Political Commentator and Former Communications Director for Kamala Harris, Jamal Simmons, perfectly…

In the wake of the consequential ruling that saw former President Trump convicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, CNN’s tone was mostly sober as the went through the play-by-play of what happened in the courtroom and what procedures needed and were to unfold in the coming days, weeks, and months. However, legal analyst Karen Friedman Agnifilo had a pretty major concern:…

Washington Post media reporter Jeremy Barr channeled CNN on Friday in a story headlined “CNN blasts Fox host Mark Levin for ‘self-hating Jews’ attack on Blitzer.” Barr copied an attack by the leftist site Media Matters and a statement by CNN smearing Levin as antisemitic. Levin slammed the whole thing as "sickening."
