Legacy media outlets are so grotesquely biased that it is easy to forget how incompetent they are, as well. Here is a case in point from CNN: They don't only lie.They can't even show a proper map of #Israel.FYI @CNN:1) #TelAviv is located on the beach.2) Sderot is nearby #Gaza.You can't deliver correctly even the simplest things & you wish us to believe a lot more difficult stuff you report

Speaker Kevin McCarthy has announced the commencement of an impeachment inquiry. In response, the Biden administration wrote its press lackeys, instructing them in how they should cover the proceedings: “Covering impeachment as a process story – Republicans say X, but the White House says Y – is a disservice to the American public who relies on the independent press to hold those in power accountable,” Sams wrote in the letter,

Check out this remarkable exchange between CNN’s Fareed Zakaria and Joe Biden. Is there a single person in the USA who holds the view of Biden described by Zakaria? And listen to Biden respond to concerns about his age and mental status in a manner that is anything but reassuring. CNN's Fareed Zakaria to Biden: "I think a lot of people do watch you and are impressed and they think

Donald Trump’s “town hall” appearance on CNN last night has liberals gnashing their teeth. They don’t understand why CNN would give Trump a forum, they are appalled that the audience was in Trump’s corner, and they are frustrated that Trump dominated the event, with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins unable to keep Trump under control, let alone embarrass him. Inevitably, CNN’s host ignored the pressing issues of the day and went straight

Fox News reports that a “well-placed CNN insider” says the network’s then-president Jeff Zucker told staffers not to investigate the “lab leak theory” behind the origins of COVID-19 because he thought it was a “Trump talking point.” Take it for what it is worth, since the “well-placed insider” is not identified. (Not that that would stop CNN.) But it has a ring of truth. Over the last six years, “news”

Rumor has it that NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley may be going to work for CNN. CNN staffers are not happy about it: Page Six has confirmed that execs have been in talks with the NBA legend and longtime broadcaster about appearing on the news channel in hope he can help the numbers to rebound. I trust everyone got the joke. But insiders tell us a deal with Barkley

It wasn’t a great day for news. Here are a few of the lowlights: * Feckless Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg blamed Donald Trump for the East Palestine train derailment and consequent chemical spill: We’re constrained by law on some areas of rail regulation (like the braking rule withdrawn by the Trump administration in 2018 because of a law passed by Congress in 2015), but we are using the powers we

The New York Times has a lengthy piece on Chris Licht’s brief but troubled tenure as the CEO of CNN. The article is sympathetic and somewhat revealing. This comes near the top: A chorus of media pundits has pounced on every tidbit of bad news. Mr. Licht’s early programming efforts aimed at repositioning the network as broader and less partisan have prompted howls of criticism, with former MSNBC host and

Science is a method that can, in principle, be practiced by anyone. So no one can “own” it. But don’t tell that to the United Nations and the World Economic Forum. This is chilling: Melissa Fleming, Under-Secretary for Global Communications at the United Nations at [World Economic Forum] ‘Disinformation’ event: “We partnered with Google,” said Fleming, adding, “for example, if you Google ‘climate change,’ you will, at the top of

Brian Stelter was fired by CNN as part of the network’s effort to shift its image away from far left commentary and toward mainstream news coverage. While at CNN, Stelter used his platform to aggressively promote Democratic Party themes, and in particular to make war on CNN’s more successful rival, Fox News. But Stelter has landed on his feet: he is going to Harvard. Stelter broke the news on social

Actually, he hasn’t sued them yet, but his lawyers have announced an intent to sue CNN, and cases against other media outlets are said to be waiting in the wings. Trump’s lawyers, a D.C. firm called Ifrah Law, wrote to CNN on July 21, giving notice of their intent to bring a defamation case under Florida law. The lawyers’ letter, with exhibits, is long, but its point is simple. The

We wrote here about the financial bloodbath at CNN+, which is shaping up as one of the great media disasters of all time. Poor Chris Wallace! He didn’t want to be associated with people who don’t hate Donald Trump, so now he is associated with people whom no one wants to watch. In fact, he seems to have become one of them. But I digress. Here is the tweet, from

CNN+ launched last month, but has been in the works for a while. Wikipedia says: CNN+ is a video streaming service that launched on March 29, 2022. It is an offshoot of the CNN cable television news network. The new digital streaming service was announced on July 19, 2021, as “the evolution of video news and the start of a new era for the company.” The new streaming service got

CNN chief legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin appeared as the keynote speaker at our Cardozo Society dinner in 2009. I had the opportunity to have an unpleasant conversation with him during the happy hour before the dinner. He must be one of the most repulsive people I have ever met, and that was long before Toobin was exposed, well, you know the rest. Let’s just say exposed sufficiently to get himself

We have known for a long time that CNN is, to put it politely, sub-par in the intelligence department. But, through revelations about Chris Cuomo, we are learning more about the corruption that seems to prevail in that company. Was it really a secret from everyone at CNN that Cuomo was collaborating with his brother to smear “that Fox weather bitch” who exposed the thousands of deaths for which Andy

CNN fired Chris Cuomo a couple of hours ago. Its statement says: CNN said in a statement: “Chris Cuomo was suspended earlier this week pending further evaluation of new information that came to light about his involvement with his brother’s defense. We retained a respected law firm to conduct the review, and have terminated him, effective immediately.” “While in the process of that review, additional information has come to light,”
