John Avlon

As first reported back on February 9 by fellow former CNN colleague and Puck founding partner Dylan Byers, now-former longtime CNN senior political analyst and all-around tool John Avlon announced Wednesday morning that he’s running for Congress in New York’s first congressional district (anchored on Long Island) as a Democrat.

CNN This Morning hosts Phil Mattingly not once, not twice, but three times defended President Joe Biden on Friday as they sought to deflect from his Thursday gaffe where he claimed Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi was actually the president of Mexico by referencing what they considered to be similar examples from Donald Trump.

Christiane Amanpour welcomed CNN colleague and senior political analyst John Avlon onto her Monday show that is aired in the U.S. on PBS to discuss President Joe Biden’s latest speeches. In Avlon’s world, Biden is fighting the dark forces of “white supremacy” and “Christian nationalism.” Ironically, he also believes that it is important for journalists to be more activist as currently there “…

CNN senior political analyst John Avlon, with his signature “reality check” segments, fancies himself as someone who calls out political spin and misinformation, but on Friday’s edition of Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO it was Avlon who needed and got a much needed reality check on the Biden economy after he said the country was “objectively” better off than in 2020.

On Friday's CNN This Morning, CNN's John Avlon presented a "Reality Check" segment in which he denied reality. Democrats, as a party, support abortion up until birth. The woman's "right to choose" is absolute. But when Republicans point this about "morally monstrous liberals" (as Avlon put it), they're somehow not being "real" because abortions late in pregnancy are "rare."

CNN senior political analyst John Avlon gave an unofficial donate to Biden 2024 on Friday’s CNN This Morning as he hailed his Thursday speech “about threats to democracy” and “bipartisanship” while Republicans launch their “farcical impeachment inquiry.”

On Monday morning, CNN regulars devoted a segment to griping about Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy calling out racism by some Democrats, comparing them to the KKK.

The Wednesday edition of CNN This Morning reacted to the news that Arkansas will not be offering AP African American Studies for graduation credits by tying the move to Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders’s campaign against Critical Race Theory and everyone from the former Democrat, supposed fact checker, and Republican deputy chief of staff all agreed: Republicans want children to be dumber…

On Tuesday’s CNN This Morning, senior national correspondent Kyung Lah reported on the out-of-control crime in Oakland, California, with murders in broad daylight and undeterred gang groups targeting everyone. The network gawked as residents fled the city and were being told by police to carry air horns for protection. The biggest concern for one CNN talking head was that runaway…

Senior political analyst John Avlon killed all irony on Tuesday’s CNN Tonight as he used some sketchy research to accuse Fox News of being obsessed with Hunter Biden. At the same time, Avlon sought to fact-check Republican claims that a legal double standard exists, but didn’t actually address the main point of the GOP’s allegations.

The cast of CNN Tonight was all in agreement on Tuesday that conservative attempts to “ban books” are “fascist,” similar to Nazism, and worse than the current trend of leftists re-writing books they did not write. At no point could anyone point to a book that was actually banned.

Republicans have been trying to get America’s runaway spending under control so future generations aren’t saddled with unimaginable levels of debt. But that’s hard to do when there are bad-faith actors like Washington Post columnist Catherine Rampell on CNN This Morning portraying the GOP as terrorists taking “hostage[s]” and holding “a gun to the head of the global economy…

If someone really wanted to get the conservative perspective on the news, one of the last places they would turn would be CNN, but that didn’t stop a Thursday CNN Tonight panel from declaring that GOP efforts to stop Critical Race Theory are not conservative.

CNN’s voice of reason Scott Jennings displayed amazing patience on Friday’s CNN Tonight as he calmly debunked self-righteous senior political correspondent John Avlon and condescending former Ohio State Senator Nina Turner on the issue of what exactly Florida requires as part of its history curriculum.
