On Monday morning, CNN regulars devoted a segment to griping about Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy calling out racism by some Democrats, comparing them to the KKK.

The Wednesday edition of CNN This Morning reacted to the news that Arkansas will not be offering AP African American Studies for graduation credits by tying the move to Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders’s campaign against Critical Race Theory and everyone from the former Democrat, supposed fact checker, and Republican deputy chief of staff all agreed: Republicans want children to be dumber…

On Tuesday’s CNN This Morning, senior national correspondent Kyung Lah reported on the out-of-control crime in Oakland, California, with murders in broad daylight and undeterred gang groups targeting everyone. The network gawked as residents fled the city and were being told by police to carry air horns for protection. The biggest concern for one CNN talking head was that runaway…

Senior political analyst John Avlon killed all irony on Tuesday’s CNN Tonight as he used some sketchy research to accuse Fox News of being obsessed with Hunter Biden. At the same time, Avlon sought to fact-check Republican claims that a legal double standard exists, but didn’t actually address the main point of the GOP’s allegations.

The cast of CNN Tonight was all in agreement on Tuesday that conservative attempts to “ban books” are “fascist,” similar to Nazism, and worse than the current trend of leftists re-writing books they did not write. At no point could anyone point to a book that was actually banned.

Republicans have been trying to get America’s runaway spending under control so future generations aren’t saddled with unimaginable levels of debt. But that’s hard to do when there are bad-faith actors like Washington Post columnist Catherine Rampell on CNN This Morning portraying the GOP as terrorists taking “hostage[s]” and holding “a gun to the head of the global economy…

If someone really wanted to get the conservative perspective on the news, one of the last places they would turn would be CNN, but that didn’t stop a Thursday CNN Tonight panel from declaring that GOP efforts to stop Critical Race Theory are not conservative.

CNN’s voice of reason Scott Jennings displayed amazing patience on Friday’s CNN Tonight as he calmly debunked self-righteous senior political correspondent John Avlon and condescending former Ohio State Senator Nina Turner on the issue of what exactly Florida requires as part of its history curriculum.

Today we present the WORST OF 2022: Cursing the Conservative Court Award. 

CNN senior political analyst joined CNN Newsroom host Erica Hill on Wednesday to recap John Fetterman’s Tuesday debate performance. Avlon tried to reassure viewers that Fetterman’s poor performance was just “a snapshot in time,” that he will recover from his stroke, and that he was “gutsy” to even show up, but also that party label matters. The last point being a complete 180 from…

CNN’s Wednesday edition of New Day lamented that the GOP midterm strategy for winning the Senate involves trying to win elections even if that means putting “party over country” by supporting “dumpster fires.”

Fresh off his Wednesday morning “reality check” where he claimed that pro-lifers hate, CNN senior political analyst traveled over to Don Lemon Tonight to accuse them of putting “party over country” if they still support Herschel Walker in lieu of the allegations he paid a former girlfriend to have an abortion. For his part, Lemon declared it “sad” Republicans just want to take the…

CNN senior political analyst John Avlon wrapped up Wednesday’s New Day with one of his characteristically reality-free reality checks where he proclaimed that being pro-life is anti-freedom, anti-individualism, and just another way to push religion. Avlon tried to justify this partisan diatribe by citing conservative icon Barry Goldwater.

CNN offered another clue Monday morning into how a properly-run CNN under Discovery and boss Chris Licht might look as New Day introduced a new segment called “Upon Further Review” to reexamine stories that, once facts emerged, showed something was different than the initial narrative. With the ever-pompous John Avlon at the helm, the first installment touched on the debunked claims…
