August 23rd, 2013 12:03 PM
CNN's Chris Cuomo scored an exclusive interview with Barack Obama on Friday and donated a whopping 42 minutes of his three hour New Day program to playing (and replaying) the discussion with the President.

CNN's global economic analyst says many companies are just using Obamacare as an "excuse" to make employee health insurance cuts they already planned to make.

August 22nd, 2013 2:29 PM

Once Again, Piers Morgan Uses a Shooting to Push for Gun Control
August 21st, 2013 6:16 PM
[UPDATED] Not surprisingly, CNN's Piers Morgan used last Friday's indiscriminate murder of an Australian student in Oklahoma to push for more gun control. His shilling for stronger gun laws has become a tired story.

CNN Anchor Asks 'When,' Not 'If' Americans Will Back Gun Control
August 21st, 2013 4:34 PM
Are stronger gun laws in the U.S. inevitable? CNN's Brooke Baldwin seemed to think so on Wednesday, asking "when" a majority of the country will back stricter gun control and not "if" they will.
"[I]f you talk about intensifying [gun] laws, I guess this is my final question, and to both of you. When do you ever think – let's say 10 years, 50 years – that the majority of the country will be…
CNN's Cuomo Boosts Immigration Reformers, Demeans Opponents
August 21st, 2013 3:24 PM
