THUNDER-LID: Abby Phillip Keeps ‘Maryland Dad’ Off NewsNight Table
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.

CNN Thinks Enforcing Civil Rights Is ‘Fascism’ and ‘Extortion’
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.

UNBELIEVABLE: PolitiFact Backs Jamaal Bowman on 'N-Word' Health Claims
PolitiFact threw a “False” flag at Scott Jennings for suggesting on CNN Newsnight with Abby Phillip "There are like almost 5 million able-bodied people on Medicaid who simply choose not to work.” But that is less shocking than this “factual” website rushing to defend former Rep. Jamaal Bowman saying on that CNN show a few weeks ago that black people have worse health outcomes because…

The “fact checkers” at PolitiFact barely touch the talking heads on cable television anymore. They used to have a serious tilt against the Fox News hosts in prime time.
