CNN: 'Wannabe Mob Boss' Trump Brings Us 'Dangerously Close To State-Run Media'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 09/18/2025 10:06:52 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

In the context of a discussion of the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel's show and related matters, today's CNN This Morning aired a clip of Rep. Daniel Goldman [D-ActBlue Jeans] calling President Trump a "wannabe mob boss."

Meghan Hays, a former Biden aide and a CNN analyst, agreed with Goldman, then proceeded to claim:

"We are running dangerously close to state-run media . . . We are losing our democracy. They're dismantling democracy by doing this."

Accusing Trump of creating a "state-run media?" That's something of a new line of attack. And a laugh line at that.

Even without the likes of Kimmel and Stephen Colbert polluting the late-night airwaves with their bilious attacks on Trump and all things Republican, Americans will continue to be subjected to ceaseless leftward slanting of the news by CNN, MSNBC, the broadcast networks' "news" shows, the New York Times, Washington Post, et al.

Where were all these types of interviews and statements when Biden’s DOJ and NSA were targeting conservative groups and pressuring social media companies to censor free speech? Its crystal clear that the media and the stooges that they have on as guests want a world where the Left gets to decide what everyone says.

Didn’t Biden control social media and legacy media messaging around the laptop and covid....so they already had state run media.

CNN is still running hateful headlines. This is another way they secretly stir up their crazies to kill us.

They say they want us to tone it down and then they keep amping it up.

i have friends who will be performing in front of live audiences that number in the thousands. they aren’t worried about being fired; they’re worried now, about being fired upon. CNN hacks cannot grasp that because they’ve never had to worry about such threats, or an audience.

Look for the spawn of leftist politicians to place their adult kids into host positions. Amy Schumer, 5 Pelosi kids, Judge Boasberg’s daughter, etc.....

Gee thats funny I remember when Barack Obama and his goons got Roseanne fired from the show that SHE CREATED with her own two hands because of a joke about Valerie Jarrett, for that she was fired and her character killed off her OWN SHOW..they were fine with that of course. The reason why Kimmel was fired was NOT because of Trump, he was fired because people called ABC affiliates and demanded his show not air, Benny Johnson was talking about it last night on Newsmax, he was working all day calling affiliates asking them if this is what they want airing on their stations and they all said NO that is why Kimmel was fired, ABC figured it wasnt worth them losing money over this they had no choice

Talk about spinning the narrative!!!

It was after Nextstar and Sinclair dropped the show from their line-up, but NBC wants to tied to the the FCC instead.

That's like blaming a traffic accident on an SUV while ignoring that the driver ran a red light.

It’s obvious that they are not going to stop using irresponsible, violence inducing rhetoric.
