CNN and MSNBC are pouncing on Twitter’s suspension of several liberal journalists, but those same cable news giants had about 15 times less interest in evidence of the same platform’s suspensions, blacklists and shadow banning aimed at conservatives when the so-called Twitter Files were released two weeks ago.

Thursday’s CNN This Morning had a peculiar take on the Twitter Files and revelations into what went into the decision to block the New York Post story on Hunter Biden’s laptop. Not only was it alleged that the Twitter Files actually made Twitter look good, but it was also claimed that it was Elon Musk that was violating the spirit of free speech.

It was a challenging task, but an esteemed panel of NewsBusters editors led by MRC President L.Brent Bozell and MRC’s Vice President for Research and Publications Brent Baker, boiled down all the biased outbursts from lefty hack hosts, anchors, reporters and pundits in 2022 and declared a winner.

On CNN This Morning, political commentator S.E. Cupp says that Republicans might have had a better candidate in Georgia: "If you had a strong Republican leadership willing to say to Donald Trump, this candidate is crap and we're not going to win with this candidate."

The past month has seen the leftist media blame conservatives including the late great Rush Limbaugh for the gay nighclub shooting in Colorado, claimed Herschel Walker supporters were “comfortable with cruelty” and that the U.S. was as bad on human rights as Qatar — thanks to Republican governors. On the other hand they bent over backwards praising outgoing Speaker of the…

On Thursday morning, CNN promoted the politically correct cause of making it easier for gay men to donate blood as CNN This Morning devoted a segment to the topic.

Don Lemon hosts a segment on CNN This Morning to discuss LeBron James' complaint that Kyrie Irving has been subjected to intense criticism over his promotion of an antisemitic book and movie, whereas there has been relatively little attention paid to a photo that recently came into circulation showing a 14-year-old Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys, in a crowd blocking black children…

CNN This Moring co-host Don Lemon travelled over to CBS and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Tuesday to promote the show and insist that “I don’t think we were liberal” when speaking about the pre-Chris Licht era.

On CNN This Morning, Don Lemon gets into a testy exchange with a former Trump aide who is Jewish on the subject of Trump's dinner with Nick Fuentes. Lemon repeatedly tries to shut his guest down when he tries to raise the issue of antisemitism on the part of Squad members like Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Ocasio Cortez. At one point the guest tells Lemon not to put words in his mouth. 

CNN airs a clip of President Biden saying, "The idea we still allow semiautomatic weapons to be purchased is sick." Host Don Lemon does nothing to correct Biden's misunderstanding of the meaning of "semi-automatic weapons."

On CNN This Morning, Don Lemon tries to make the case that, despite being debunked by Obama's Attorney General, the Ferguson-born slogan of "hands up, don't shoot" was fake but accurate.  As Lemon put it: "Remember, hands up, don't shoot was about more than the shooting of Michael Brown."

During the last presidency, CNN hosts like Don Lemon routinely insisted Donald Trump was mentally unfit for office, and then would compare him to a six-year-old. On Monday's CNN This Morning, Lemon greeted Joe Biden's 80th birthday by lamenting anyone who…
