Destroying Kavanaugh: CNN Tars With ‘Rape’ 191 Times
During the past three weeks, Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh has received a deluge of news coverage accusing him of vile crimes, including attempted rape and even organizing gang rapes. While these charges did not originate with the news media, the lack of satisfactory corroborating evidence should have caused ethical reporters to refrain from gratuitously repeating allegations that painted…

Toobin Dismisses Due Process, Mocks White Men Being Accused of Assault

CNN Buries Women Supporting Kavanaugh While Touting Opponents
On Monday's New Day show, CNN ran a full report on a group of women who are lobbying against the confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court, and, not only did the report by Kaylee Hartung fail to label the activists as liberals, but it took three minutes into the three-and-a-half-minute report before the CNN reporter finally acknowledged that there is "quiet support" for…

CNN Gives Platform to GOP Congressman's Brother to Question His Health
CNN appears to have quite an affinity for covering political family feuds. Earlier this year, it gave White House adviser Stephen Miller’s uncle a platform to trash his nephew for his position on immigration plus how the son of retiring GOP Congressman Bob Goodlatte endorsed the Democrat in the race to succeed his father. All told, it's unsurprising that Tuesday’s New Day gave a platform to David…

On Friday's New Day show on CNN, during a discussion of the upcoming congressional midterm elections and high desires by Democrats to defeat Texas Senator Ted Cruz, CNN Politics senior writer Harry Enten actually declared that, "unfortunately," Cruz is ahead of Democrat Beto O'Rourke in most of the polls.
On Thursday's New Day, CNN misleadingly reported a new version of a similar story from earlier this year which suggested that the Trump administration had incompetently "lost" about 1,500 illegal immigrant children who had been in HHS custody. But the first version of the story had already been debunked earlier this year, and, on Thursday's show, CNN reporter Tal Kopen admitted that the story was…
