Tuesday was the premiere date for CNN+ but chief media correspondent Brian Stelter recorded an Oscar special of his new show Reliable Sources Daily on Monday to cover the elitist spectacle and the so-called “slap heard round the world.” In the midst of their conversation, Stelter opined about how surprised he was that more people on the right, specifically Fox News didn’t support…

A high-profile liberal economist, and reported Hillary Clinton donor, said that the chances of recession in the U.S. are looking increasingly more likely, according to CNN. Moody Analytics Chief Economist Mark Zandi reportedly said that the “US economy has at least a one-in-three chance of sinking into a recession over the next 12 months,” CNN Business summarized.

Making his first appearance during a White House Q&A since March 10 (when he asked Jen Psaki whether President Biden owns an electric car), Fox News’s Peter Doocy went toe-to-toe with Biden Monday over numerous statements the latter made during last week’s European excursion that drew condemnations from international leaders and White House walkbacks.

Reacting Monday to President Biden’s off-the-cuff comments Saturday that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin “cannot remain in power,” CNN’s New Day featured three analysts/pundits who had all decided that not only was it not that big of a deal, but it was proof of Biden’s strength and level of advanced strategic knowledge.

On Friday's New Day show, CNN's Brianna Keilar hosted another segment stacked with criticism of Republicans over their treatment of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, liberal nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court. Frequent guest Sophia Nelson -- who has a history of making incendiary attacks on black conservatives -- hypocritically accused Republicans of "race-baiting" in their questioning.…

On CNN's Reliable Sources, host Brian Stelter got an unwelcome surprise when his guest CNN commentator and host S.E. Cupp brought up Hunter Biden's laptop when replying to Stelter complaining that Ginni Thomas's text messages didn't get enough news coverage. Stelter was clearly thrown off guard by Cupp's mention of the laptop controversy.

I just received a fundraising email from Nancy Pelosi's PAC headlined "CNN just admitted" claiming Marco Rubio was in political danger. CNN "just revealed he's "in danger of losing." But nobody on CNN "just revealed" such a thing. The last poll has Rubio up 12. It turns out it's a CNN.com list from seven weeks ago on CNN.com that said Rubio "starts as the favorite." 

The following is a round-up of the worst takes from liberal journalists and late night talk show hosts during the Ketanji Brown Jackson hearings.

President Biden flip-flopped during his Thursday press conference in Brussels when he declared that sanctions were never meant to deter Vladimir Putin from invading Ukraine despite constant proclamations from the administration to the contrary. On The Lead, CNN chief political analyst Susan Glasser reacted to Biden’s dishonesty by talking about former President Trump.

On Thursday’s New Day on CNN, host Brianna Keilar and chief national affairs analyst Kasie Hunt recapped the GOP’s performance at Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Supreme Court confirmation hearings with accusations of racism, 2024 ambitions, and QAnon conspiracy theorizing.

Poppy Harlow welcomed New York magazine senior correspondent and Notorious RBG co-author Irin Carmon to the Wednesday edition of CNN Newsroom to discuss their hopes that Ketanji Brown Jackson will eventually be able to change the minds of her eventual Supreme Court colleagues on issues of gender discrimination, mainly abortion.

During an afternoon break Tuesday in Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation hearings, CNN Newsroom mocked and dismissed questions from Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) about critical race theory (CRT) as “below the line” and “reek[ing] of desperation” from “a clown” who “put on a performance” in “the surreal.”

Day two of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Supreme Court confirmation hearings brought direct and pointed questions from Republican Senator Josh Hawley (MO) about her history of going easy on child porn cases. But CNN masturbation expert and chief legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin took strong issue with Hawley’s focus on the serious issue many Americans care about.

During a break in the Ketanji Brown Jackson confirmation hearings, CNN senior legal analyst Laura Coates continued her tradition of praising everything Jackson does while also accusing Sen. Lindsey Graham of trying “to educate the first black woman to be nominated to the Supreme Court.”

Coates, who thinks that Jackson has descended from Mount Olympus, recapped the opening part of day…
