Watching CNN (So You Don’t Have To)

The most popular show on CNN, Anderson Cooper 360 at 8 p.m. ET, gets about 700,000 viewers. The total viewership of the two-hour interview Donald Trump did on X with Elon Musk is unknown, but it was certainly in the many millions — far bigger than the audience for Cooper or Wolf Blitzer, Jake Tapper, […]

Prediction: Worst ‘Debate,’ Ever

Every day, I watch CNN (so you don’t have to) and for the past several days, they’ve been hyping up tonight’s so-called “debate” between Joe Biden and Donald Trump as the Most Important Debate in World History. Like everything else on CNN, this is a lie. There will be no actual debate tonight. That is […]

Six Weeks Until First Debate

The earliest presidential debate, ever: CNN is President Joe Biden’s preferred network to host at least one presidential debate, he said Wednesday. CNN’s Jake Tapper and Dana Bash will host, according to Puck News. . . . The Biden campaign said the president would debate Trump only in June and September, without live audiences present. […]

Even CNN Has to Admit Biden’s Losing

Speaking as “someone worried about the prospects of a second Trump term,” Fareed Zarkaria yesterday told his viewers on CNN, “I think it’s best to be honest about reality,” i.e., Biden’s losing: “The shift here is stark,” Zakaria pointed out. “On the question of whom voters trust more to deal with the economy, Trump has […]

A Made-for-TV Travesty: Can You Guess Who Takes Stormy Daniels Seriously?

One must be a connoisseur of media bias — or perhaps a glutton for punishment — to watch CNN, which I do (so you don’t have to). Do executives at the third-place cable news networks really think America craves wall-to-wall coverage of the sordid Stormy Daniels “hush money” trial inflicted upon Donald Trump by Soros-sponsored […]

CNN Suffers Psychiatric Crisis After Unanimous Supreme Court Slaps Down Colorado’s Election-Rigging Scheme

Watching CNN (so you don’t have to) is usually a chore for me, but today it was unusually pleasant to witness the anguish as Jim Acosta, Dana Bash and their panelists bemoaned the unanimous Supreme Court ruling that struck down the effort by Colorado Democrats to ban Donald Trump from the ballot in that state. […]

‘If You Experience an Erection Lasting More Than Four Hours …’

. . . blame the latest New York Times poll: Are you pumped, or what? There hasn’t been this much sorrow among Democrats since Hillary Clinton cratered in 2016: “It’s going to be a very tough decision — I’m seriously thinking about not voting,” said Mamta Misra, 57, a Democrat and an economics professor in […]

CNN Ratings Hit Historic Low

An audience so tiny you need a microscope to see it: Ratings-challenged CNN hit rock bottom in a key viewership demographic last weekend — another sign of the difficulties facing incoming boss Mark Thompson. The cable news network logged its worst weekend ratings on record in the all important 25- to 54-year-old demo, according to […]
