The Lead

CNN's resident "fact checker" Daniel Dale usually shows his face on air when CNN wants to attack Donald Trump. On Thursday's The Lead with Jake Tapper, Dale confessed that Trump's statements during jury selection were mostly just opinion, but he mocked the idea that President Biden had something to do with Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's prosecution, even though an Associate Attorney…

Radio host Mark Levin said it best Wednesday night when he noted that “the Democrat Party will sell its proverbial soul for 10,000 votes.” Much was the case on that evening’s edition of The Lead with Jake Tapper on CNN, when Tapper took on the role of party campaign strategist to urge the Biden administration to abandon Israel in its war against genocidal Hamas terrorists in order to…

On Wednesday afternoon, CNN host Jake Tapper did his part to undermine Israel's war effort by showing a pre-recorded piece highlighting the story of an American citizen living in Gaza who has a "resounding message" for President Joe Biden about why he is allowing her to suffer even though she chooses to live there.

CNN’s Jake Tapper and Pamela Brown launched a smear campaign against New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers this week after it was revealed he was on Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s short list for VP; accusing him of believing the conspiracy theory that the Sandy Hook school shooting was fake. And when Rodgers denied their allegations, Tapper took to his show, The Lead on Thursday to falsely…

After the liberal media initially refused to report that the murderer of University of Georgia student Laken Hope Riley was an illegal immigrant who was arrested multiple times, we have now reached the phase of the coverage where Republicans noticing the problem was the concerning issue of the story. That seemed to be the reaction CNN’s Jake Tapper had during Monday’s The Lead, when…

On Thursday's The Lead on CNN, in a segment titled "Biden Unfiltered," anchor Jake Tapper reported Biden telling a group of San Francisco donors that although Putin is a "crazy SOB," the real existential threat is climate change. He noted Biden, like Obama, gets "looser" around big donors off-camera, but he's skipping interviews and press conferences, which doesn't inspire confidence…

On the day the Justice Department released a report on the mistakes local law enforcement made in handling the Uvalde, Texas, school massacre from May 2022, CNN coverage of the findings predictably turned to pushing more gun control as both Democrat and Republican guests appeared to discuss the findings.

On Wednesday’s The Lead, CNN host Jake Tapper questioned Speaker Mike Johnson for eleven minutes on the border, persistently pressing him to compromise with Senate Democrats. Then he touted Biden's argument to an ex-Biden aide: "Boy, they've done more on the conservative side of things than any Democratic president in recent history."

After initially celebrating the Colorado Supreme Court’s legally dubious ruling to take former President Trump off the ballot as “a historic level of accountability for January 6^th” during Wednesday’s CNN This morning, the network decided to bring on a lucid legal mind during The Lead in former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr, who smacked down their hype by calling…

Following interviews on Monday and last Thursday on Fox News, CNN’s The Lead followed suit Monday with Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of the founder of the Islamic terror group Hamas and who not only rebuked the group, but spent a decade undercover for Israeli intelligence. Given his harrowing background, he held nothing back in ripping Hamas as “strict” “fanatics” hellbent on “…

Nick Arama at RedState pointed out that "Facts First" CNN isn't just falsely reporting Israeli airstrikes on hospitals that never happened. They can't even seem to locate Tel Aviv on a map. Blink, and you might miss it, but in the Friday edition of Jake Tapper's show The Lead, they briefly posted a completely inaccurate map of Israel. CNN got roasted on Twitter. 

On Wednesday afternoon, three different Israeli officials — including a former prime minister — took to CNN airwaves to lambaste the network and the rest of the liberal media for their instinctual rush to accept Hamas’s premise (under the guise of the “Palestinian Health Ministry”) that Israel had targeted a Gaza hospital Tuesday night for slaughter. In reality, it was a misfired rocket by…

After the shock of 9/11 wore off, the American media turned toward their natural disposition of worrying about Muslims being discriminated against -- and brutalized -- by ignorant Americans. Now, after what some call Israel's 9/11, we've reached the phase where the media turns once again to that American Islamophobia narrative.

On Thursday, CNN had a number of horribly pro-Hamas moments from both correspondents and guests, including an insane insinuation that Israel was to blame for Gazans not having bomb shelters and attempts to equivocate the work of a terrorist organization in Hamas with Israeli air strikes.
