Night two of the Democratic National Convention was yet another snooze fest that CNN let dominate their prime time line up. Following the conclusion with a musical performance by John Legend, the Zuckerville collective immediately took to praising it as “very emotional,” with one swooning for Jill Biden’s accent, and another appearing to defend how boring it was as a metaphor for how the…

CNN Praise Obama Going ‘for the Jugular’ on Trump, ‘Dystopian’ Vision
Former First Lady Michelle Obama, who has admitted to being ashamed of America for most of her life (until they elected her husband president, of course), drew the admiration of anti-American CNN hosts following her speech at the virtual Democratic National Convention.

Fareed Zakaria: Trump Won Because of Voter Suppression
In an hour-long CNN special entitled Donald Trump’s Conspiracy Theories, host and serial plagiarist Fareed Zakaria dabbled conspiracies himself by pushing the idea of orchestrated and widespread voter suppression.

CNN Features Guest 44x for 150 Mins, Barely Notes Past Abortion Job
Throughout the coronavirus pandemic, CNN has shown an inability to shy away from framing the pandemic through the lens of attacking President Trump. Another tic has been their continued refusal to describe frequent guest Dr. Leana Wen as a former president of Planned Parenthood. Since our first post about Wen on March 16, the Media Research Center kept tabs on Wen’s appearances and calculated her…

Not long after President Trump and the coronavirus task force concluded the heated press conference in the White House briefing room on Friday, CNN host John King kicked off the network’s likely obsession over one moment: Trump’s argument with NBC White House correspondent Peter Alexander.

CNN Spends 73 Mins with Guest, But Only 10 Secs for Abortion Ties
It’s well-established that CNN has refused to act as a serious news organization. So, it came as no surprise when a Media Research Center study found that CNN featured Dr. Leana Wen 16 times from March 2 to 16 for a total of 73 minutes and 29 seconds to discuss the coronavirus. However, there were zero seconds verbally acknowledging her past as Planned Parenthood’s former president.

CNN Freaks About ‘Litmus Test’ for ‘King’ Trump Appointees
CNN continued its habit of making mountains out of molehills on Tuesday as CNN Right Now host Brianna Keilar, White House correspondent Jeremy Diamond, and Never Trump Republican Sophia Nelson decried the White House's new "Trump-focused litmus tests" for those who seek political appointments in the administration.
CNN's John Avlon joined At This Hour host Kate Bolduan on Thursday to condemn the selection of Vice President Pence to lead the federal government's response to the coronavirus. But, what was an attack on Pence morphed into an attack that implied that any social conservative or religious person would be unqualified to lead a public health task force in a time of crisis.
