CNN Literally Laughs at Biden's Inflation, Push 'Putin Price Hikes'
CNN Newsroom was sticking to the White House marching orders Thursday as they parroted President Biden’s line that the soaring cost of fuel was because of “Putin’s price hikes.” They were so intent on adhering to their factious script that they literally laughed at the idea (we know it’s fact) that inflation was a feature, not a bug, of the Biden presidency.

CNN Presents Trump's Oil Production as Biden's Energy Policy Success
With the national average for a gallon of gas at $4.25 on and rising rapidly, and President Biden’s decision to ban Russian oil set to make things worse, CNN’s Ana Cabrera was either desperate or foolish to step into the breach during Wednesday’s Newsroom to defend him with oil production numbers from 2020 – aka still the Trump presidency – to claim the U.S. was pumping out enough oil…

On CNN's Fareed Zakaria GPS, anchor Fareed Zakaria finally realized what a difficult situation the United States is in by not being energy independent and reliant on Russia for oil.

CNN Fact Squad Tags GOP Rebuttal on DOJ Surveilling Angry Parents
The CNN "Facts First" fact-checkers evaluated 12 claims from President Biden's State of the Union address but only found one of those that they would describe outright as "false."
