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.

Good post.

Democracy in America is not in the government. It is in the market place. People vote with their feet where to shop, where to worship, where to celebrate. People vote with their money what products and services to buy and what to not buy.

Any government restriction on the democratic marketplace is anti-democratic.

This from the hypocrites that support NPR. It’s pretty stupid to be claiming a president is encouraging “state run media” when in fact his administration is trying to destroy decades of exactly that.

Way to tone down the rhetoric there CNN...

Still trying to whip up your crazies while attacking us. Nothing has changed with them at all.

State-run media is the next thing after state-run grocery stores.

Don’t give “I, Madman” (apologies to Isaac Asimov) any ideas.

Well CNN is still on…. So…..

Id say a good rule of thumb is do not advocate for violence and certainly dont cheer for murderers.

Charlie Kirk tried to show the left could be reasoned with. In the end, the left finally Proved him wrong.
