Column: Do We Need a January 6 News Glut?
On the cusp of an absolute glut of liberal-media anniversary coverage of the January 6 riot, CNN media reporter Brian Stelter was cranky. “We live in a world where Donald Trump's top supporters malign the media for being ‘obsessed’ with January 6.” He argued anyone who thinks this story is overdone is someone "best explained by psychologists or therapists or algorithm developers."
‘Was He in on It’? Stelter Suggests Hannity Helped Plot Capitol Riot
CNN media bootlicker Brian Stelter understood his assignment Tuesday after the Democrat-led House January 6 Committee said they wanted to speak to Fox News Channel host Sean Hannity about his messages to former Trump administration officials before, during, and after the riot. Mocking the serious First Amendment questions, Stelter was giddy as he baselessly speculated that Hannity was somehow…
CNN Analyst Admits: New York AG 'Politically Targeted' Trump Family!
On New Day, CNN legal analyst Elie Honig, commenting on the subpoenas that NY Attorney General Letitia James has issued against Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump, says: "The Trumps' argument here is not absurd. It's not ridiculous. The crux of their argument is, we have been politically targeted by this attorney general, Letitia James. And you know what? They’re right! Because Letitia James…
CNN Opinion: Let's Go Brandon Dad Deserves to Have Life Ruined

Analysis: CNN’s Coverage on Spiking Gas Prices Is All Over the Place

CNN’s 2022 Resolution: Make Everything an Attack on Democracy
On Sunday, CNN’s so-called “Reliable Sources” rang in 2022 with some New Year resolutions for the media (I guess that makes them News Year resolutions) at the end of the show. But there was only one resolution they wanted to stick to and it was to gaslight their audiences by making everything into a threat to democracy.
The Media’s Most Outrageous Lies of 2021

Looney Tunes: CNN's Stelter Agrees Trumpism Is 'Moving Toward Fascism'
CNN’s Brian Stelter decided not to start the first episode of “Reliable Sources'' of 2022 on a good note. Instead Stelter continued to rehash the same tired ad hominem attacks he leveled all throughout 2021 by accusing his political opponents of “moving toward fascism”.
Did Gallup End 74-Year Polling Tradition to Avoid Trump Placing First?
Frequent consumers of political news may be aware of Gallup's annual poll measuring the "most admired man" in America which is typically announced a few days before New Year's. The poll was done yearly from 1946 through 2020, with 1976 the only year that was skipped. This year, a Google search shows no sign that Gallup did a poll for 2021.
CNN Doc Slams Times Square 'Superspreader,' Hosts Promote CNN Special
This was CNN cognitive dissonance on steroids -- with a booster shot of hypocrisy. In its 7 am hour, New Day brought on CNN medical analyst Dr. Jonathan Reiner who called the Times Square New Year's Eve celebration a potential "superspreader" event that is "completely unnecessary" and "unwise." Reiner called omicron "the most contagious pathogen that any of us have ever seen." And he…
CNN Host PERPLEXED By Biden's Low Approval, Historian Oozes Optimism
While guest hosting Inside Politics on CNN on Thursday, Phil Mattingly wondered how President Biden's approval rating could be so low, after all he has signed major pieces of legislation and the economy is "robust."

Pedo Problem: Second CNN Producer With 'Potential Juvenile Victims'
CNN is ending 2021 the same way they spent most of it: in the gutter. Late Wednesday, news broke that yet another CNN producer was under “criminal investigation” for sexually preying on minors. This time it was the producer for Jake Tapper’s weekday show The Lead, Rick Saleeby.
CNN Analyst: 'Too Kind' To Call Trump 'Leader of a Terror Movement'
Lumping Donald Trump with Osama Bin Laden? That's going too easy on the former president! On New Day, CNN's "national security analyst" and former Obama aide Juliette Kayyem said that when a year ago in an Atlantic article she depicted Trump as being "the leader of a terror movement," she was, as she recently tweeted, actually being "too kind" to him!
