CNN Attacks Birx for Not Trashing Kemp, Trump for ‘Gaslighting’
April 21st, 2020 10:15 PM
Try as they might to memory hole their disdain on Thursday for the Trump administration’s reopening guidelines, CNN rallied around them on Tuesday after leaving the White House Coronavirus Task Force briefing in order to spend over 12 minutes engaging in their usual bomb-throwing, partisan gibberish. With Situation Room host Wolf Blitzer at the helm, panelists attacked Dr. Deborah Birx for not…

Acosta, Blitzer TRASH Americans Weary of Lockdowns, Cover for Lefties
April 18th, 2020 1:55 AM
Liberal media elites sure don’t seem to have a problem with life-crippling stay-at-home orders stretching through 2020 into 2021 and 2022, do they? On Friday’s Situation Room, CNN host Wolf Blitzer and chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta griped about how President Trump would not only acknowledge the mental toll that they’ve taken on the American people, but not denouncing those voicing…

Blitzer, Friedman: Mentally Ill Trump Will Cause More COVID-19 Deaths
April 17th, 2020 9:24 PM
On Friday, CNN’s Situation Room host Wolf Blitzer illustrated why, if he were still a journalist of decency, facts, and integrity, he wouldn’t have gone about an interview with New York Times columnist Tom Friedman the way he did. Instead, Blitzer wondered if President Trump would be to blame for deaths of Americans who have protested economically, mentally, and physically crippling stay-at-home…

Acosta: Trump Is ‘Baghdad Bob’ on Virus, Bashing WHO Is ‘Distraction’
April 14th, 2020 8:42 PM
CNN was up to no good early Tuesday night, dipping in and out of the White House Coronavirus Task Force briefing to peddle of liberal punditry and Trump hate, even though some CNNers painfully conceded that President Trump was right about the World Health Organization’s China fetish. That didn’t apply to chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta, who called Trump “Baghdad Bob” on the virus and…

Acosta Peeved He Had to Take Test (Even Though It's to Keep WH Safe)
April 9th, 2020 10:27 PM
During Thursday’s Situation Room ahead of the White House Coronavirus Task Force daily briefing, CNN chief White House correspondent and carnival barker Jim Acosta twice stated how irked he was with having to take a coronavirus test in order to attend the briefing “when we know so many Americans…can’t get” tested. That was despite the clear reason for testing was so as to ensure the safety of…

CNN Features Guest 44x for 150 Mins, Barely Notes Past Abortion Job
April 3rd, 2020 7:46 PM
Throughout the coronavirus pandemic, CNN has shown an inability to shy away from framing the pandemic through the lens of attacking President Trump. Another tic has been their continued refusal to describe frequent guest Dr. Leana Wen as a former president of Planned Parenthood. Since our first post about Wen on March 16, the Media Research Center kept tabs on Wen’s appearances and calculated her…

Blitzer Lets Pelosi Skate in Latest Interview Without Roadblocks
March 26th, 2020 12:21 AM
Following suit from MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell and unlike his CNN colleague Dana Bash from Tuesday, CNN’s Situation Room host Wolf Blitzer didn’t offer anything Wednesday in interviewing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) that’ll end up in a career highlight reel showing journalistic prowess. Instead, the 13-minute-plus interview was one softball after another, refusing to grill Pelosi on anything,…

CNN Insists We Feel Bad for Andrew McCabe After Trump ‘Attacked’ Him
February 12th, 2020 7:33 PM
CNN continued to embody its Jeffrey Zucker-led moniker of being an ethics-free, fear-mongering, and liberal-heavy network as The Situation Room and host Wolf Blitzer again attempted to make viewers feel bad for CNN contributor Andrew McCabe, the former acting FBI director (who’s under criminal investigation). Why? Because hours earlier, McCabe was again “a prominent target of” President Trump’s “…

CNN's Toobin Slams Trump's 'North Korean-Style Punishment' of Vindmans
February 10th, 2020 11:55 PM
On Monday's The Situation Room, liberal CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin went over the top into hyperbole by claiming that President Donald Trump's dismissal of both Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman and his brother from their jobs at the White House amounted to "North Korean-style punishment of the whole family." They were executed?

February 5th, 2020 9:10 PM
Picking up from Nick Fondacaro’s item on some of CNN’s initial reactions to the Senate trial coming to an end Wednesday afternoon, the Jeffrey Zucker-led circus continued into The Situation Room. Most notably, Fake News Jim hailing Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) and seven panelists ganging up on former Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) over, well, how one could act on principle and not want to remove…

‘Let That Set in’; Bolduan Falls for ‘Emotional’ Pete Buttigieg
February 4th, 2020 7:31 PM
Finding himself Tuesday evening in first place following the first wave of results from the disastrous Iowa caucuses, former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg was treated to soft, warm interview with CNN host Kate Bolduan imploring the “emotional” 2020 Democrat to “let” his first place standing “set in.” Bolduan also reminisced over a February 2019 interview she conducted with Buttigieg…

Santorum Blasts CNN Lefties Bashing ‘Sham’ Trial Vote as a ‘Travesty’
January 31st, 2020 9:01 PM
With rare exceptions, the litany of liberal journalists, lefty analysts, and former Obama officials have free rein on CNN to pontificate without pushback. Unfortunately for legal analysts Preet Bharara and Jeffrey Toobin on Friday after the Senate impeachment trial’s witness vote, senior political commentator and former Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) was on set to push back after they called the…

FISA Judge's FBI Rebuke Gets 10 SECONDS on CBS, While ABC, NBC Skip
December 18th, 2019 5:15 PM
Nick Fondacaro reported that the networks skipped over the bombshell -- yes, bombshell -- that the judge overseeing the FISA court unleashed a harsh critique of the FBI late on Tuesday. So we wondered if they all kept skipping it on the morning shows. The answer is Yes, with an asterisk. CBS This Morning gave it ten seconds in their top-of-show clip melange called "Eye Opener." Don't blink, you'…

No Quid Pro Quo: Acosta Dismisses Zelensky Popping Dem Narrative
December 2nd, 2019 10:58 PM
Just as the liberal broadcast networks did Monday evening, CNN chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta batted away an interview Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky did with TIME magazine, in which he stated he did not approach his conversation with President Trump “from the position of a quid pro quo.” Despite that fact, Acosta treated the development as some kind of unimportant statement…
