CNN's New Day often features analyst John Avlon delivering a commentary they call "Reality Check." But reality took a beating on Thursday's edition, as he accused Republicans of "purging" moderates ever since Barry Goldwater ran for president in 1964.

CNN recently had a rough day when it conceded realities that underscored why President Joe Biden’s stimulus monstrosity was proving to be a disaster for the economy.

CNN’s morning show, New Day has an odd obsession with attacking Fox News and “right wing media.” For the second day in a row, co-hosts John Berman and Brianna Keilar hyped a study from a liberal media-beloved academic that blames conservative media for spreading coronavirus conspiracy theories. 

Over the course of the Trump presidency, Baltimore Sun media critic David Zurawik had become steadily more and more unglued. Now, during an appearance on CNN’s so-called Reliable Sources on Sunday, Zurawik was teed up by fill-in host John Avlon to attack Fox News. And Zurawik didn’t disappoint, suggesting CNN’s heavyweight competitor was a “danger to democracy” and needed to…

For his “Reality Check” commentary on Monday’s New Day, CNN’s John Avlon broke out his Lexis-Nexis transcript searches in an attempt to shame Fox News Channel for its use of the term “Russia hoax,” as if CNN had somehow proven a nefarious collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government. If that were true, Robert Mueller would have proceeded to charge the president. But…

It’s the height of hypocrisy when CNN, the network who constantly smears conservatives with blatant lies, presumes to speak for the right.

In spite of being school by a Republican guest earlier this week who defended the new voting law in Georgia, CNN's New Day show on Friday morning was still fearmongering over the issue as several guests were allowed to push their anti-Republican views.

CNN continues to beclown itself as a news network, even bringing on Virginia’s own “blackface” governor to give New York’s Andrew Cuomo political advice on Thursday.

On Sunday’s CNN Newsroom, host Ana Cabrera collaborated with a favorite liberal media couple of senior political commentator John Avlon and political commentator and host of PBS’s Firing Line Margaret Hoover to wax poetic about President Joe Biden’s whopping $3 trillion economic plan and convince viewers that those standing in his way were showing they're opposed to growing…

On Wednesday's New Day show, CNN analyst John Avlon delivered a misleading "Reality Check" that promised to explain "what is really going on" at the border with Mexico, suggesting that "right-wing media" like Fox News are spreading misinformation.

When CNN sets up John Avlon to uncork a so-called “Reality Check,” it’s just another opportunity for CNN to unleash DNC talking points and call themselves a “news” network. Take Tuesday’s New Day, when anchor Alisyn Camerota set up the latest Pompadour Proclamation like this: “Senate Democrats just passed president Biden's COVID relief bill while many Republicans are still talking…

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…

On Friday's New Day show on CNN, political analyst John Avlon tried to provide comfort food for liberal audience members as he devoted his "Reality Check" segment to portraying liberal policies as being popular in spite of the close election results.

In a recent interview on PBS's The Open Mind, CNN media analyst Brian Stelter plugged his anti-Fox News book, Hoax: Donald Trump, Fox News and the Dangerous Distortion of Truth, by trying to portray CNN as a more accurate news source than Fox. Taking aim at Fox and Friends, he painted the morning show as misinforming viewers, citing its coverage of the illegal…
