FLASHBACK: When CNN Censored Obama’s 2008 Memorial Day Idiocy
How far would a liberal network go to protect their favorite candidate?

Van Jones Claims Al Gore ‘Ripped Off' by Supreme Court, Collins Silent
In another tumultuous segment of CNN’s The Source on Thursday, host Kaitlan Collins spoke with former Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan (R-GA) and former Obama official Van Jones.

CNN Insists Justice Alito Tied to January 6 Because of Historic Flag
On Wednesday, CNN’s Laura Coates referred to the “Appeal to Heaven” flag flown outside the home of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito as controversial and questioned his legitimacy in overseeing important election cases.

NY Times Journo Compares GOP in 'Trump Uniform' to Saddam Loyalists
On Saturday's Chris Wallace Show, the CNN host couldn't help making fun of Republicans turning up at the Trump trial all wearing navy blazers, white shirts, and red ties.

Genocide, Alito, & Scheffler: Best & Worst of This Week’s WH Briefings
This week marked a rare occasion in which President Biden remained at the White House all five weekdays and thus allowed for five press briefings from the ever-inept press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre (and John Kirby only serving as a crutch on Friday). The questions were, not surprisingly, all over the place given the lunacy of the week, ranging from accusing Jews of genocide to harassment…

For Acosta, it was…

How Can Jake Tapper Moderate CNN Debate? He Trusts Hamas Propaganda
Alongside the concerning announcement, this week, that CNN would be hosting the first general presidential debate next month was the equally concerning announcement that Jake Tapper would be tapped to be one of the moderators.
