Alex Marquardt

Earlier this week, NewsBusters was the first to report that the defamation suit against CNN could cost the network upwards of $1 billion. The possible cumulative damages were able to be that high because a Florida appeals court affirmed that plaintiff, security contractor, and Navy veteran Zachary Young was able to prove malice on behalf of CNN. And what few have seen, was the video from…

Nick Fondacaro broke a story on how debate moderate Jake Tapper's show aired a nasty hit piece that spurred a defamation lawsuit from a man working to evacuate people out of Afghanistan. Internal messages show profane malice from reporter Alex Marquardt and others. It's no one's idea of idealistic investigative journalism. It sounds like Gotcha journalism.

The case may not be as well known (yet), but CNN could be facing a defamation liability rivaling or exceeding the $787 million Fox News paid out to Dominion Voting Systems. NewsBusters recently reported on Florida’s First District Court of Appeals affirming that plaintiff Zachery Young could seek punitive damages, in addition to economic and emotional damages, from the Cable News Network in a…

On Wednesday, three judges with the First District Court of Appeal for the State of Florida ruled that Plaintiff Zachary Young had sufficiently provided enough evidence to the court that they could proceed with his defamation suit against CNN for punitive damages. The network allegedly, knowingly lied about his security consulting company and their work amid President Biden’s disastrous…

On Monday afternoon, in the aftermath of the school shooting in Nashville, CNN was promoting precisely the opposite of what would likely provide better protection for schools as law enforcement analyst Andrew McCabe argued against arming school teachers.

Between Monday night and Tuesday morning, the flagship broadcast network newscasts on ABC, CBS, and NBC have spent roughly 65 minutes (64:56) on the deadly shooting at Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee, but only had 11 mentions over six newscasts mentioning that the shooter was transgender. Specifically, Tuesday’s CBS Mornings never mentioned that the woman was trans and…

As the left continues to threaten Supreme Court justices and engage in acts of violence in anticipation that the Court may strike down Roe v. Wade, CNN’s New Day finally got around to covering hypothetical Roe-related violence…from the “far-right.”

On Friday's New Day, CNN correspondent Alex Marquardt interviewed Luliia Mendel, Ukrainian President Zelensky's former spokeswoman, and asks about her tweet in which she said it would be a "tragedy" if Kamala Harris became president. Mendel said she was referring to Harris' laughing response when she was asked about the Ukrainian refugee crisis. Mendel added that "even if her…

At 2 pm on Wednesday, CNN's "Citizen" project live-streamed a panel discussion with four of its journalists on the top "Lessons of the Insurrection: Where Are We Now?" Dana Bash read a question from a viewer about how to protect democracy, and reporter Alex Marquardt touted that "one of the many benefits" of the 1/6 committee was how they exposed Fox News as Trump collaborators.

A rewind to October 2020 when CNN was desperately trying to discredit the Hunter Biden laptop story. CNN's Christiane Amanpour insisted it wasn't "their work" to investigate whether Hunter Biden's laptop exposed real scandals. 

While the hacks at CNN spend much of their time accusing Fox News and other conservative media outlets of spreading disinformation and conspiracy theories, they also spend plenty of time disseminating absurd conspiracy theories of their own. On Wednesday’s New Day, CNN hosts Alisyn Camerota and John Berman collaborated with senior national security correspondent Alex Marquardt and…

While taking part in a march of Antifa terrorists through the streets of the Adams Morgan neighborhood in Washington, D.C., Alex Marquardt tried to spin their chaos and violence for CNN Tonight host Don Lemon. “Until now, I'm not going to say it's been peaceful but it hasn't quite been violent,” he suggested as he admitted that police had dawned riot gear.

Having long since decided to abandon being a journalist and instead offer condescending, partisan, vile commentaries against President Trump and others he doesn’t like, CNN’s AC360 host Anderson Cooper joined his fellow CNN performance artists Monday in throwing Olbermann-like tantrums. In light of the President giving another address to the nation and walking over to the damaged St.…
