CNBC anchor Andrew Ross Sorkin took the opportunity to aggressively smear conservatives boycotting woke companies, after listening to an interview where the CEO of Target was pressed on his company’s disastrous year.

Everyone who cannot abide the way that liberal networks attempt to mangle Republican presidential candidates in primary debates is having the same thought: If the Democrats never award a primary debate to Fox News or Newsmax, why on Earth should Republicans subject themselves to CNN or MSNBC or the rest?

Four years ago at this time, Wikileaks tried to turn the Democrat convention with internal Democratic National Committee emails that showed they blatantly favored Hillary Clinton over Sanders. But the media downplayed the juiciest tidbits for conservatives: emails that showed how shamelessly reporters and Democrats work hand in hand to shape the "news."

At CNBC Wednesday morning, just after the release of the government's GDP report, Squawk Box panelist Steve Liesman appeared to do everything he could to downplay the significance, and even the relevance, of the 3.3 percent annualized growth estimate.

Cameron Cawthorne at the Washington Free Beacon offered a clear case for the "fact checkers" at PolitiFact and other sites of a Bill Clinton fib on CNBC.

Clinton also slammed the political press for having "no previous exposure to the way we work," which…

People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. And people who ridicule the level of others' speech patterns should check theirs first. CNBC didn't do that. Instead, on Thursday, as I noted in a previous NewsBusters post, it childishly rushed out a grade-level evaluation of the Republican presidential candidates' speech patterns during the first three debates, including the Wednesday train wreck…

Squawk Box co-host Joe Kernen lit into writers at The Huffington Post Tuesday morning for their poor understanding of basic economics..
