CNN Suggests GOP Bill Contrary To The Spirit Of The Constitution
Against a chyron that read “America 249 Years After the Declaration of Independence,” CNN’s Dana Bash welcomed historian Jon Meacham to Thursday’s edition of Inside Politics to promote his new book, which is just an overpriced foreword to the Declaration and the Constitution. Both Bash and Meacham would suggest that this 4th of July, GOP efforts to pass President Trump’s One Big…

CNNer: There’s ‘Friendliness’ in Iranians Who Chant ‘Death to America’
Near the start of Tuesday’s Inside Politics, CNN’s OutFront host Erin Burnett tried to downplay the long-standing practice Iranians chanting “death to America” (and “death to Israel”) because, from her experience reporting from Tehran, those same people often display a “friendliness” and genuine interest in America. Yes, dear readers, Burnett declared those calling for mass killings…

CNN’s Stelter Pulls His Hair Out Over Trump's EO Defunding PBS/NPR
Despite repeatedly calling Fox News “state TV” during President Trump’s first term (when he still had his show, so-called Reliable Sources), CNN’s Brian Stelter decried Trump’s executive order defunding the actual state-media outlets of PBS and NPR. In his appearance on Friday’s Inside Politics, Stelter argued that Trump didn’t have the authority to strip funding but he…

Stelter: Trump Wants To Defund NPR, PBS For 'Simply Covering The News'
For the Tax Day edition of CNN’s Inside Politics on Tuesday, media correspondent Brian Stelter joined host Dana Bash to allege that President Trump wants to defund PBS and NPR for “simply covering the news.” If Stelter really believes that then he has a funny definition of what is newsworthy.

On CNN, Glasser Chides Democrats Who Don't Scream ‘Existential Threat’
On CNN’s Monday episode of Inside Politics with Dana Bash, Susan Glasser of The New Yorker opined that, under the second Trump administration, Democratic leaders who focused on things like attempting to provide government services that their constituents actually wanted were on the wrong path. Rather, in her opinion, they should have been too busy whipping themselves up into…

FAKE NEWS: CNN Pretends Trump's Smithsonian Order Will Ditch History
CNN’s Dana Bash spread some fake news on Tuesday’s edition of Inside Politics and not of the fun April Fool’s variety. Bash, together with Africana Studies Prof. Clarissa Myric-Harris White, burned multiple straw men on President Donald Trump’s executive order on the Smithsonian.

PBS Journo: Axing Education Dept Hurts 'Poor and People Of Color' Most
PBS News Hour White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez joined the Wednesday edition of CNN’s Inside Politics to freak out about President Donald Trump’s plans to close, or at least downsize, the Department of Education. As Barron-Lopez tells it, Trump is trying to privatize public education, and shuttering the department will start a domino effect that will lead states to…

CNN ‘Fact Check’ Goes Sideways as Anti-Musk Guests Reject a Compliment
CNN’s outrageously biased ongoing treatment of Elon Musk took a turn Thursday that was so over-the-top it was actually a little funny. On that day’s episode of Inside Politics, Dana Bash hosted two of Musk’s especially vitriolic detractors, and her attempts to cover for them were so ridiculous, it was actually a little more than the pair could just sit there and take.

CNN’s Dana Bash Accuses Elon Musk of Making Money ‘Breaking the Rules’
Considering they just spectacularly lost a major defamation suit, CNN has seemed remarkably unconcerned about throwing around wild accusations. On Monday’s episode of Inside Politics With Dana Bash, Bash seemingly suggested that billionaire Elon Musk had made his money through illegal means, though she never provided evidence. She also lashed out at President Trump’s voters, calling…

‘Hellish,’ ‘Unhinged’; CNN SEETHES Over Trump at Plane Crash Briefing
CNN was unglued late Thursday morning and early afternoon over President Donald Trump’s remarks at the White House press briefing on the deadly mi-air collision over the Potomac River with aviation correspondent Pete Muntean — who had otherwise been invaluable in his analysis and reporting — joining other unsurprising characters in channeling now-former colleague Jim Acosta.

CNN Segment Fixates on Trump Post, Ignores Causes of LA Wildfires
On Wednesday morning, President-elect Trump weighed in on the fires raging through Los Angeles County, blaming California Governor Gavin Newsom for the disaster. During an Inside Politics panel discussion on the matter, CNN’s Nia-Malika Henderson accused Trump of having “no sense that Californians are Americans” and lacking empathy because of his feuds with “Democrat[s] in general.”…

CNN Reporter Says Biden Looks Like Just a Guy Between Two Trump Terms
As most of the mainstream media attempts to cover the end of the Biden Presidency with praises of its many accomplishments, CNN has come to its own conclusions. Thursday’s Inside Politics with Dana Bash offered a more sober view of the Presidency as CNN Senior Reporter Edward-Isaac Dovere pointed out the discontent of the public, noting Biden’s insignificance compared to the Trump…
