The Lead

After the liberal media initially refused to report that the murderer of University of Georgia student Laken Hope Riley was an illegal immigrant who was arrested multiple times, we have now reached the phase of the coverage where Republicans noticing the problem was the concerning issue of the story. That seemed to be the reaction CNN’s Jake Tapper had during Monday’s The Lead, when…

On Thursday's The Lead on CNN, in a segment titled "Biden Unfiltered," anchor Jake Tapper reported Biden telling a group of San Francisco donors that although Putin is a "crazy SOB," the real existential threat is climate change. He noted Biden, like Obama, gets "looser" around big donors off-camera, but he's skipping interviews and press conferences, which doesn't inspire confidence…

On the day the Justice Department released a report on the mistakes local law enforcement made in handling the Uvalde, Texas, school massacre from May 2022, CNN coverage of the findings predictably turned to pushing more gun control as both Democrat and Republican guests appeared to discuss the findings.

On Wednesday’s The Lead, CNN host Jake Tapper questioned Speaker Mike Johnson for eleven minutes on the border, persistently pressing him to compromise with Senate Democrats. Then he touted Biden's argument to an ex-Biden aide: "Boy, they've done more on the conservative side of things than any Democratic president in recent history."

After initially celebrating the Colorado Supreme Court’s legally dubious ruling to take former President Trump off the ballot as “a historic level of accountability for January 6^th” during Wednesday’s CNN This morning, the network decided to bring on a lucid legal mind during The Lead in former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr, who smacked down their hype by calling…

CNN’s Jake Tapper did his level best to contain himself upon hearing U.S. Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) say that he thought and hoped every House Democrat would vote to support his resolution condemning Hamas’ use of rape and sexual violence against Israeli women during and after the atrocities of October 7th. 

Following interviews on Monday and last Thursday on Fox News, CNN’s The Lead followed suit Monday with Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of the founder of the Islamic terror group Hamas and who not only rebuked the group, but spent a decade undercover for Israeli intelligence. Given his harrowing background, he held nothing back in ripping Hamas as “strict” “fanatics” hellbent on “…

Nick Arama at RedState pointed out that "Facts First" CNN isn't just falsely reporting Israeli airstrikes on hospitals that never happened. They can't even seem to locate Tel Aviv on a map. Blink, and you might miss it, but in the Friday edition of Jake Tapper's show The Lead, they briefly posted a completely inaccurate map of Israel. CNN got roasted on Twitter. 

On Wednesday afternoon, three different Israeli officials — including a former prime minister — took to CNN airwaves to lambaste the network and the rest of the liberal media for their instinctual rush to accept Hamas’s premise (under the guise of the “Palestinian Health Ministry”) that Israel had targeted a Gaza hospital Tuesday night for slaughter. In reality, it was a misfired rocket by…

After the shock of 9/11 wore off, the American media turned toward their natural disposition of worrying about Muslims being discriminated against -- and brutalized -- by ignorant Americans. Now, after what some call Israel's 9/11, we've reached the phase where the media turns once again to that American Islamophobia narrative.

On Thursday, CNN had a number of horribly pro-Hamas moments from both correspondents and guests, including an insane insinuation that Israel was to blame for Gazans not having bomb shelters and attempts to equivocate the work of a terrorist organization in Hamas with Israeli air strikes.

Having been with CNN for over two decades and a foreign journalist for more than three decades, CNN international diplomatic editor Nic Robertson has seen plenty coveringnatural disasters, terror attacks, and war zones. But on Monday’s The Lead, he was repeatedly on the verge of breaking down in tears describing what he called “callous, cruel, cold-blooded killing” of Israelis and…

On Thursday, CNN’s Jake Tapper must have been longing for the days when former boss Jeff Zucker would command him through his earpiece as House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) laid out the evidence of President Joe Biden’s alleged corruption on The Lead. Throughout the over nine-minute long (9:30) interview Comer repeatedly countered Tapper’s defense of the President…

Not only have ABC, CBS, and NBC not been interested in Wednesday’s reporting from the House Oversight Committee that the Bidens have taken in $20 million in payments and some coming from foreign oligarchs, but MSNBC has similarly punted and put the proverbial fingers in their ears like Jim Carrey in Dumb and Dumber.
