The Worst News Network on the Planet Has Covered Itself in Shame This Week

For the past couple of days, I’ve been watching CNN (so you don’t have to) and — dear merciful God! — there are no words to describe how awful it is. On the other hand, the attempt to describe it gave me an excuse to beat that dead dog again with a 1,300-word opus: Among […]

The Worst Democrat in Congress?

The question mark in the headline is necessary because, of course, the competition for Worst Democrat in Congress is fierce. Ilhan Omar, Jamie Raskin, Eric Swalwell — it’s a tough league. But keep your eye on the representative from the 30th District of Texas, about which Wikipedia says: “With a Cook Partisan Voting Index rating […]

GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY!

If you’re going to make the liberal media pay for their wrongdoing, try to find yourself a jury in Panama City, Florida: A Florida jury on Friday found CNN liable for defaming a Navy veteran who helped evacuate people from Afghanistan after the US military withdrew from the country in 2021. The six-person jury said […]

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 […]
