This is a live thread of Day 1 of the $1 billion defamation trial against CNN. Read more about the case at @NewsBusters here: https://t.co/Cmt0FD2ral https://t.co/0pT9IBO1E1

CBS reporter (January 6 beat reporter) Scott MacFarlane presents a very one-sided picture of the riot. Full Democrat spin in the interviews: A bitter Capitol Hill cop who hates the Republicans, and new Sen. Adam Schiff. https://t.co/GVECylEuX7

All five of these top global risks for 2025 from Eurasia Group are anti-Trump. G-Zero Wins (meaning no one country or group can maintain world stability), Trump being a dictator, the U.S. not being cozy with China, Trump wrecking the economy, and Trump letting Russia run rampant https://t.co/ysvMcnHAVy

On CBS, Golden Globes host Nikki Glaser announced a "mid-show recap" with stats about the speeches. "Cast and crew" were thanked 11 times, "Mom" three times, and "God, creator of the universe, zero!" Mario Lopez got one. "No surprise in this godless town!" https://t.co/Ld5yhDFrOj

WATCH: @ThisWeekABC panel mourns the inefficacy of the Trump prosecutions. Notable exception: @reihan, who points out the misplaced priorities of DA Alvin Bragg's office as crime spirals out of control. https://t.co/JnPTy4LtKM

CBS’s @MargBrennan set up interview with Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi: “We began by asking her why she thinks so many Americans decided that Donald Trump’s support for the rioters in 2020 should not disqualify him from a second term as president.” #FTN https://t.co/Oo5hLwKuTu

MSNBC host @SymoneDSanders: Biden is great mentally, Trump not so much. “The question on the table is is the President all they way there. And the answer is unequivocally yes....He can at least put a sentence together. The President-elect is the one I am concerned about.” #MTP https://t.co/n3W1mrZNg4

NBC's Kristen Welker tries to ask Chick Schumer whether he and top Dems misled Americans about Biden's cognitive decline, as though the media didn't have a role in that conspiracy to defraud. https://t.co/0Gfi4l6zp0

WATCH: ABC's George Stephanopoulos sets Alejandro Mayorkas up to pat himself on the back over the fact that the New Orleans terrorist was U.S.-born and deflect away from his disastrous handling of the border https://t.co/QxJWVdeAxp

Joe Biden grants the Presidential Medal of Freedom to George Soros, thus driving a stake through all of the media’s dopey “King Elon” narrative. No crying when Trump grants the Medal of Freedom to Elon https://t.co/14cDWvsiUa

MSNBC's Katie Phang is quite unhappy as she rants that "The arc of justice has been crushed and flattened by... the deceit by which Donald Trump made it back into that Oval Office" and that Trump's sentence won't have "teeth to it" https://t.co/L7fGOrAdQ6

Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart claims Jimmy Carter had "the glow around him" as New York Times columnist David Brooks adds "he brought faith into politics in a very admirable way...It certainly influenced his post-presidency but he was not overbearing with it" https://t.co/2EU5GSw6hL

Joy Reid laments "politicians that have a self-interest in lying about everything because it helps them" and Charles Blow mourns "one crime committed by one name that sounds exotic, one brown face rather than... what the FBI says is a really big problem, which is young white men" https://t.co/JvsA5Ow29N

On MSNBC, Chris Hayes and Alexi McCammond complain that the Democrats have gone all soft on accusing Trump of being a "fascist" threat to democracy. Let's not look "retroactively disingenuous." They prefer actively disingenuous. https://t.co/LRx3nclxzd

Of course Jim Acosta quips that, a day after the New Orleans terror attack, Donald Trump is a source of "other potential...chaos" by having "post[ed] misinformation" in his Truth post reacting to news reports the Ford truck had come across the border. https://t.co/nWwbT0EIoU

On the Greg Kelly show, we discussed comedian Whitney Cummings joking on New Year's Eve that the Democrats didn't hold a primary in 2024. That's pretty much true. They kept challengers to Biden off the ballot in some states, for....Democracy? https://t.co/a6DHi72PFx

During 'NBC Nightly News,' Ken Dilanian puts ISIS-inspired radicals on the same plane as those endorsing the murder of health care executives and falling prey to "extremist ideologies" like "far right extremism" https://t.co/TGxIzhvgBd

At 3:21 PM ET, @MajorCBS Garrett: “Former President-elect Trump has weighed in on this, sometimes accurately, sometimes less than accurately.” https://t.co/xoQTzYCn7a

It's the only way to tolerate being on CNN. Andy Cohen touts Diplo being high on LSD during his interview on CNN. https://t.co/7ZqNbtYlrV

This is CNN. Reporter Randi Kaye in a mermaid outfit, a merman and blowing a conch. #CNNNYE https://t.co/FO8tJlAoZm
