Tell the Truth 2024

During the predictions portion of the final CNN State of the Union panel of the year, senior political commentator Scott Jennings delivered a short and brutal smackdown of President Joe Biden that left the panel simultaneously gasping, groaning, and laughing nervously.

Nothing says “reasoned, valid legal analysis” like Colorado’s Secretary of State coming on MSNBC to congratulate Maine for throwing former President Donald Trump off the ballot.

There has been some network news reporting of the massive incoming migrant caravan, inasmuch as it is timed to coincide with the visit of Secretaries of State and Homeland Security Antony Blinken and Alejandro Mayorkas to Mexico, where they are scheduled to meet with government officials (and perhaps with President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, AKA AMLO) on how to deal with the ongoing…

Cable news continues to air live programming despite this, the week after Christmas, being a ratings wasteland mostly destined for year-end recaps and the like. Such is NOT the case on CNN, which makes the most of this time in order to advance a narrative previously debunked on CNN air.

CNN’s Christmas Eve edition of State of the Union with Jake Tapper earned itself a huge lump of coal by devoting its entire hour to climate propaganda. In other words, religious counterprogramming. It is here that former Vice President Al Gore came on and blamed populist movements around the world on, you guessed it…climate change.

You just know that things are bad when the network evening newscasts have to actually make the time to report on the ongoing explosion at the southern border. Tonight, all three networks reported on the record detentions this week. None, however, reported on the White House's tie-in to the awful prisoner swap with the Maduro dictatorship in Venezuela.

The network evening newscasts were unsure whether to hail, cover neutrally, or condemn the latest U.S. prisoner swap with an authoritarian regime. In this case, the exchange with Venezuela’s Maduro dictatorial regime, which returned his notorious bagman, Alex Saab, in exchange for fugitive “Fat Leonard” and 10 additional hostages.

The evening network newscasts delivered their breaking news reports on the Colorado Supreme Court decision disqualifying former President Donald Trump from the 2024 ballot with little substance, but plenty of emotional impact. 

During a panel discussion regarding the impeachment inquiry against Hunter Biden, former White House Press Secretary and current MSNBC host Jen Psaki let loose on what she (and probably her former comrades at the White House) think of Hunter’s Capitol press conference prior to blowing off his scheduled closed-door testimony: to wit, very little.

The Acela Media are still abuzz over a controversial segment of former President Donald Trump’s remarks in Durham, New Hampshire, and two of the major evening network newscasts continued to parrot Biden campaign talking points in a scramble to turn Trump into Literally Hitler.

NBC News has decided to join the NCAA, academia, and corporate retailers among the many institutions now complicit in the intentional erasure of women. Among the panel of Democratic women in Macomb County, Michigan featured on Meet The Press convened to discuss their reluctant support of Joe Biden, a trans woman. 

ABC’s Jon Karl sat down with former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, fresh off her endorsement by New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu for that state’s presidential primary. But although the venue was New Hampshire, the tone and tenor of the questions were pure Acela, and Haley made sure to communicate that to Karl.

Today’s “powerhouse panel” on ABC This Week inadvertently showed the widening gulf between what is top-of-mind for the Acela Media versus what is on the minds of the actual American electorate. In particular, this exchange between host Jon Karl and former RNC chair Reince Priebus on the general election suitability of Donald Trump.

As part of the ongoing Acela Media effort to enable Hunter Biden’s new media strategy, MSNBC’s Alex Wagner was joined by Congressman Eric Swalwell (D-CA), where he was given free rein to smear conservatives and impugn the motives of those who investigate the Biden family corruption.
