CNN and the entire left are so terrified of free speech, it’s almost beyond belief. They will go to unreal lengths to control the narrative and silence anyone who dares to challenge the progressive storyline or call out—and even mock—the so-called leaders on the left. That’s exactly why, with the highly anticipated upcoming debate, the regime-run media hacks at CNN are desperate to control the narrative. This includes censoring right-wing accounts that might clip parts of the debate to share on social media. CNN has even threatened to go after any accounts that do this by citing the Digital Millennium...

It’s almost here... the first presidential debate between President Joe Biden and former president Donald Trump will take place tomorrow night on CNN. It is quite early in the election cycle, which is by design to account for the fact that many voters now cast their ballots via mail or in an early voting period. Perhaps the biggest surprise is that Biden agreed to debate this early, which could signal his campaign’s uneasiness with polls showing the president trailing in most swing states, losing by double digits on the issues that matter most to voters and hemorrhaging support among various...

Trump has requested that Biden take a drug test before Thursday’s debate, even promising to take one himself as well. During an appearance on The Source on CNN, Johnson was asked by Kaitlan Collins about Trump’s remarks. “Just knowing you and how you conduct yourself, do you think some of the rhetoric is out of line when people from Trump’s team are suggesting that – and Trump himself – that Biden is going to be on cocaine when he’s on that debate stage Thursday night?” Collins asked. Johnson said that Trump was just joking and that nobody believes Biden will...

CNN is attempting to silence independent media and control the narrative surrounding the first 2024 Presidential debate on Thursday by not allowing the use of CNN’s live broadcast to report and comment on the debate in real time. This revelation comes after CNN’s Kasie Hunt abruptly cut off Trump’s spokeswoman, Karoline Leavitt, after she brought up Jake Tapper’s history of comparing Trump to Hitler and told people to “Google ‘Jake Tapper Donald Trump.'” It’s not enough to turn off President Trump’s microphone or to cut off spokespersons in interviews. Jesse Watters compared this move to slapping a gag order on...

As Twitchy reported Monday, CNN's Kasie Hunt cut off her interview with Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt after Leavitt brought up debate moderator Jake Tapper's previous comparisons of Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler. Hunt went on X to defend it, saying, "You come on my show, you respect my colleagues. Period." But Clay Travis brought receipts: a video of Tapper and co-moderator Dana Bash likening Trump's rhetoric to that of Hitler. Former CNN analyst Chris Cillizza famously tweeted that reporters don't root for a side. That doesn't seem to be the case with CNN, which hosted drag queen Brigitte Bandit to...

Moderator Dana Bash is not without controversy. Bash's former husband is an attorney and former Chief of Staff at the CIA. And, Jeremy Bash is one of the notorious 51 liars from the intel community who signed a letter in 2020 claiming the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. Bash and the others obviously knew this was a lie. Jeremy Bash currently serves as national security analyst for NBC News and its cable division, MSNBC. Roger Stone asks, "How can CNN debate moderator Dana Bash be impartial questioning Trump, she was married to Trump-bashing Russiagate conspiracist, Biden donor and Brennan...

I could summarize this post easily in a short sentence- the fix is in. In three days, Donald Trump and Joe Biden will participate in a debate. It’s been engineered to favor Biden. They get to sit, have to remain quiet while the other speaks and will have the mics shut off if they run over time. Remember that one- it’s going to be used to cut Trump off early and often. They get potty breaks. One of the participants needs it more than the other. Biden cannot stand for two hours and chew gum, let alone sound coherent. He...

First 15 minutes devoted to CNN's treatment of Karoline Levitt when she wouldn't be silent about Tapper and Bash's obvious bias, and how this helped Trump.

VIDEOPoor Jake Tapper! Trump's press secretary unfairly maligned him as suffering from extreme TDS. No wonder his CNN colleague Kasie Hunt defended him against that scurrilous charge. As you can see, Jake Tapper, is able to keep his personal opinions in check and displays absolutely no political bias on the air. It is because of his high professional attitude that Jake Tapper was chose to be a moderator at the CNN presidential debate since he plays it straight down the middle.

Former President Donald Trump will be stepping into a left-wing minefield on Thursday when he debates President Biden on CNN, whose moderators have compared him to Adolf Hitler. In May, Mr. Trump immediately accepted CNN’s invitation to debate Mr. Biden. The president took to social media and directly challenged his rival to participate.Since then, Trump supporters have lamented what they call unfavorable terms of the debate. The candidates will have no live audience and no chance to interrupt each other. Jake Tapper and Dana Bash have been chosen as the moderators.“Trump agreed to the moderators and rules that clearly favor...

VIDEONo, I did NOT photoshop Kasie Hunt's Twitter bio to make her look like an over the top biased flack for the DNC. That Twitter bio you see was created by Kasie Hunt herself (at least until she takes it down out of embarrassment). Yeah, look at how Kasie and Joe Biden hold each other's hands as they smilingly gaze into each other eyes. Love is in the air. For Kasie such a pic on her Twitter bio also acts as a CNN job security virtue signal. And it explains why she so quickly shut down President Trump's National Press...

Thursday’s presidential debate is “not the ideal arena for live fact-checking” former President Donald Trump, CNN political director David Chalian warned potential viewers Monday. CNN’s coverage of Trump often includes network personnel attempting to fact-check Trump in real time or trying to fact-check him immediately after live coverage ends. CNN’s Kaitlan Collins was widely criticized last year for failing to successfully fact-check Trump during her town hall event. The audience cheered Trump’s performance, while Republicans lauded Trump’s delivery as one of the best by the former president. Chalian, who believes Trump “doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt on words,”...

WEST PALM BEACH, FL — The Trump campaign announced Monday that the former president had begun preparing for his upcoming debate with Joe Biden by visiting nursing homes and arguing with dementia patients. "George, you're wrong about Lime JELL-O. Nobody likes it," Trump said as he argued with a 94-year-old man dementia patient who claims to be constantly observed by Russian spies. "It doesn't taste good! Everyone's telling me all the time how much they hate it and you're going to say they should serve it every day? On DAY ONE I will ban Lime JELL-O." Elderly onlookers applauded as...

VIDEOLeftist meltdowns can be unintentionally hilarious. Such was the case with these two recent meltdowns by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, AOC, and Kasie Hunt of CNN by way of MSNBC. What made AOC so funny was that she was screeching about taking this country back. Um, who has been in charge of the country, especially the Lawfare system, for the past few years. None other than her own CORRUPT Democrat party. Kasie Hunt acted like a Karen Hunt for insisting it is a grave sin to criticize Jake Tapper for daring to point out his more than obvious TDS. In Cable TV...

The case may not be as well known (yet), but CNN could be facing a defamation liability rivaling or exceeding the $787 million Fox News paid out to Dominion Voting Systems. NewsBusters recently reported on Florida’s First District Court of Appeals affirming that plaintiff Zachary Young could seek punitive damages, in addition to economic and emotional damages, from the Cable News Network in a civil trial after they allegedly defamed him regarding his work in getting people out of Afghanistan. The total could near or exceed $1 billion. For that outcome to be remotely in the cards, Young needed to...

CNN host Kasie Hunt abruptly ended an interview with Donald Trump press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Monday morning after she repeatedly bashed her colleague Jake Tapper. With three days to go until the first presidential debate, Hunt asked Leavitt how the Republican was preparing for his showdown with President Joe Biden. Leavitt accused Biden of ‘hiding away’ while Trump was preparing to ‘go into a hostile environment on this very network with debate moderators who have made their opinions about him very well known over the past eight years.’ She said Tapper and Dana Bash are ‘biased’, prompting Hunt to...

Jack Poso 🇺🇸 @JackPosobiec BREAKING: CNN host @kasie CUTS OFF Trump spokeswoman @kleavittnh the second she brings up Jake Tapper spending years comparing Trump to Adolf Hitler This is a preview of how CNN will act during the debate

When Code Pink protesters demonstrated outside of Jake Tapper's house, calling his coverage of the Israel-Hamas war "negligent" and "pathetic," Tapper's teenage children responded by waving and playing "The Star-Spangled Banner." Video of the incident shows protesters with the activist group Code Pink using megaphones outside of Tapper's D.C. home last week. At least one demonstrator wore a keffiyeh, an Arab headscarf that has become associated with Palestinians. The protesters accused Tapper, who is Jewish, of spreading "Israeli propaganda," and expressed anger that he refused to call Israel's military actions in Gaza a "genocide." Tapper's children, Jack, 14, and Alice,...

The Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Campaign filed a Complaint with the Federal Election Commission stating that this criterion that would be used to include Joe Biden and Donald Trump in a Thursday, June 27 debate that might exclude RFK, Jr. could not legally be employed without triggering illegal corporate contributions to the Biden and Trump Campaigns. It appears that the FEC agrees.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. did not meet the criteria to make the debate stage next week, according to the outlet, denying him the opportunity to confront President Biden and Donald J. Trump. ......................... Robert F. Kennedy Jr. failed to qualify for the CNN presidential debate on June 27 by the network’s Thursday deadline, according to the outlet, a significant blow to his independent presidential bid that will deny him a coveted national stage alongside President Biden and former President Donald J. Trump. Mr. Kennedy in a statement on Thursday called his exclusion from the debate “undemocratic, un-American and cowardly.” Qualifying...
