Abby Phillip

While in the process of explaining the comedic process to his debate table interlocutor on CNN’s NewsNight with Abby Phillip, comic and filmmaker W. Kamau Bell did the classic “clown nose on/clown nose off” that is the hallmark of the left-regime comic. That he did it while explaining Jimmy Kimmel’s mendacious Monday bit is pure poetry.

ABC’s summary suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live! over the host’s callous remarks regarding the assassination of Charlie Kirk quickly became the top story across the insular Acela Media. CNN’s NewsNight with Abby Phillip was no exception.

On Tuesday’s CNN NewsNight (aka CNN Thunderdome), former TV talk show host Montel Williams channeled ABC’s Matt Gutman from hours earlier in finding a new motive for the alleged Charlie Kirk assassin, which was the suspect — “a love-torn kid” in “probably his first real relationship” — murdered Kirk out of devotion to his trans significant other.

The corporate media have finally been shamed into covering the brutal stabbing of 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zaruska by a mentally ill black man in Charlotte, and predictably, they’ve turned it into a “Republicans pounce!” story. In between gasps of horror that the Trump administration has “seized on” the story, print outlets and TV talking heads have been hard at work identifying the…

Since last summer, when CNN NewsNight shifted to an panel discussion-only format, host Abby Phillip has been praised for consistently inviting prominent conservatives onto the otherwise lopsidedly left-wing network. But with how rarely Phillip actually permits said conservative guests to finish a point without interrupting them, NewsNight is more akin to a televised struggle…

CNN Senior Political Commentator and MRC Bulldog Award Winner Scott Jennings continues to confound the left and trigger them into taking the most absurd positions. The most recent example of this came in the middle of a panel discussion on CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip regarding the firings and mass resignations at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

In an interesting editorial choice, CNN NewsNight host Abby Phillip elected to keep credibly-accused human trafficker, wifebeater and MS-13 gangbanger Kilmar Abrego García off the table and away from any meaningful panel discussion. Phillip instead elected to do a brief blurb on Abrego García to close the show.

When someone cries "no evidence," it’s probably because they can’t handle the evidence. CNN host Abby Phillip repeatedly argued over the weekend that there was no weaponization under Democrats because you can't identify a "Big Puppeteer" who has directed the entire conspiracy against Trump or Tea Party conservatives.

When is a non-lethal car accident a national news item -- and a car crash that killed three is not? When an illegal alien killed three. ABC, CBS, and NBC wouldn't touch the story of an illegal alien (with a commercial driver's license from California) who drove a truck so badly it killed three people during a bumbled U-turn in Florida. We discuss this and other wokeness topics with Bill D'…

A segment on Target’s financial woes on CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip, colloquially known as the Thunderdome, laser-focused on the retailer’s recent financial woes. A liberal panelist took an opportunity to try to make hay at the expense of Scott Jennings, and it did not end well.

Appearing Tuesday on her friend and fellow progressive Kara Swisher’s podcast, CNN Newsnight host Abby Phillip — aka Mrs. CNN Thunderdome — knocked CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings and past panelist Jillian Michaels as examples of people who disrespect her “guard rails” and are “playing...games” with the show.

CNN used to use the tag line “facts first” in their advertisement campaigns, and on Tuesday’s NewsNIght, host Abby Phillip demonstrated why they stopped. In their discussions about racism and President Trump’s crackdown on crime in Washington, D.C., Phillip shouted down commentator Batya Ungar-Sargon when she attempted to cite facts and statistics. Spurred on to talk about racism in…

Last night’s edition of CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip, more colloquially known as the “Thunderdome”, opened with a segment on the federalization of Washington D.C.’s Metro Police Department- which is clearly the media’s Current Thing (at least until the Smithsonian cycle kicks off in earnest). A liberal media darling tried to flex his talking points outside of the usual amen corner…

If you watched Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN NewsNight, Ana Navarro and Keith Boykin would have you believe Donald Trump is “extorting” Columbia University and running a “fascist” operation from the White House. But let’s get serious. What actually happened at Columbia is not a criminal shakedown, it’s accountability. When a university accepts billions in federal funding, it has a…
