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.

Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

We are losing our democracy.

Yeah, because nothing screams "Democracy" like gloating over a brutal public political murder.

This is all predictable. When people on the right finally stand up for themselves to take on the left directly they clearly can’t handle opposing viewpoints, and they project on our side what they themselves have been practicing for decades. All we’re asking for is objectivity in news reporting instead of the daily DNC talking points and clearly leftist bias we’ve been subjected to for decades from the American news media.

The affiliates have always had the ability to give the broadcast nets a hot foot.

That it took Charlie Kirk’s murder for them to do it...

Well, there are no atheists in foxholes.

The only real threat is DNC-run media.

Just one question, CNN: What is The FCC’s job?

The hypocrisy of these people knows no bounds. They completely lack the ability to look at themselves and comprehend their own actions and words.

I swear the people on the left must not have mirrors in their residences or places of work.

CNN is, once again, making up false news. The public mood is swinging right and the media is swinging as well, mostly out of financial concerns. But naturally Trump is blamed. The media still, for the most part, suffers from TDS.

No, Trump is ending what was the equivalent of state/Democrat party-run media that has existed for decades.

Attention all leftists: I am just fine with you losing “your democracy”.
We are taking back our Constitutional Republic whether you like it or not.

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

Or that the driver was a drunk illegal alien.

“Kirk ‘Comments’”

So CNN continues to lie to create new narratives. Lying to cover up lies.
