Mark Cuban may have finally lost it. Or maybe he just never had it to begin with.
There aren't many reasonable, rational explanations for what Cuban said on television in a Thursday morning interview on CNBC. Trump derangement syndrome is one, a prolific, almost violent commitment to reality denial is another, and the third is that he's conducting a months-long performance art exhibition.
Joe Kernen started by discussing Vice President Kamala Harris' remarkable rise in popularity after being handed the nomination.
"She was at 28% favorability and then as you say, things change, she's all the way up at about 50%," Kernen said. "I would just argue that filling in the blanks does not account for that move. And that the media coverage has been so positive, and almost Mark, that it's like, we don't have to worry about trying to elect this guy that was clearly not up for another four years, and it's not Donald Trump. So the left and the people who need a candidate would have embraced anyone at that point. And you know, ABC it was 100% positive coverage of her, 92% negative of Trump. So Elon says ‘what changed,’ the media coverage."
That's when Cuban lost whatever tenuous connection with reality that he had left.
"Ok, first, what's the most-watched news channel, Cuban said. "Who are the most watched and viewed and listened to podcasts, who are the most and watched and listened to…" Kernen interjected by saying, "is it Fox?" To which Cuban responded, "Yeah, right, it's not close. The number one shows are all Fox, the number one podcasts. The mainstream media is not who you think it is, the mainstream media truly leans right."
This is what happens when you get so rich that no one is willing to tell you how terrible your ideas are anymore.
Mark Cuban's Desperation Leads To Absurdity
Cuban has a point that Fox is the most popular news network. Its shows are more popular and more listened to than the nonsense on MSNBC, CNN, ABC, NBC, or CBS. But that's the problem with Cuban's ridiculous argument. There's one major news network that leans right. There are five that lean far, far left.
As Kernen explained, ABC's coverage of Harris was, universally, 100% positive. No negative coverage whatsoever. Trump received 92% negative coverage. That's just one network. The numbers would be similar at CBS, NBC and of course MSNBC. CNN's Dana Bash was given one of the precious few interviews Harris and Tim Walz have bestowed on the public, and could barely stop herself from turning to the camera and begging people to vote for Harris.
David Muir and Linsey Davis, the debate moderators from ABC at the Trump-Harris debate on September 10th engaged in live fact checking of Trump, while completely ignoring Kamala's rampage of lies. But Cuban ignores this in order to claim that the "mainstream media" is actually right wing.
There are, of course, hundreds of other examples of media bias towards the left. The Russia Collusion Hoax, the Nick Sandmann hoax, the "very fine people" Charlottesville hoax, their open fawning towards Anthony Fauci and criticism of Ron DeSantis during COVID. The "suckers and losers" lie. The list is endless.
Cuban knows this, because, all appearances aside, he's not an idiot. He just doesn't care because it helps his political team and hurts Donald Trump. And like so many of his "resistance" NPC's, Cuban is willing to deny, lie, obfuscate and mislead when reality hurts his case. No matter how embarrassing and absurd it is.

cuban is auditioning for a job in a harris administration
Nothing but a soy boy p***k. When you look across the media and see who they always quote, you can't NOT believe there isn't a huge conspiracy to brainwash us all!
Mark Cuban is hoping for a post in the Harris administration in order to jump start his career in political office.
How did this dipshit get rich?
It leans right the way a Nazi leans into his kick of a Jew.
From BRAVE AI:
Mark Cuban’s Billionaire Path
Mark Cuban’s billion-dollar fortune primarily stems from the sale of Broadcast.com to Yahoo! in 1999. Here’s a breakdown of the events:
Broadcast.com: Cuban co-founded Broadcast.com in 1995, a pioneering online broadcast and streaming media company. He owned 28% of the business.
Initial Public Offering (IPO): In 1998, Broadcast.com went public with an IPO, raising $150 million.
Acquisition by Yahoo!: In 1999, Yahoo! acquired Broadcast.com for $5.7 billion in Yahoo! stock. Cuban’s 28% stake in Broadcast.com translated to a significant portion of this deal.
Hedging against risk: After the sale, Cuban hedged against the risk of a decline in Yahoo!’s stock price, ensuring his after-tax proceeds remained substantial.
Tax implications: The value of Cuban’s after-tax proceeds from the Broadcast.com sale is estimated based on an analysis of asset sales and purchases, taxes, and market performance.
While Cuban’s net worth has fluctuated over the years, his initial billion-dollar fortune was largely generated from the Broadcast.com sale. His subsequent business ventures, investments, and entrepreneurial activities have contributed to his continued wealth, but the Broadcast.com deal remains the foundation of his billion-dollar net worth.
Note: Cuban’s net worth has been reported to be around $3.9 billion as of 2018, according to Forbes. However, his initial billion-dollar fortune was primarily generated from the Broadcast.com sale in 1999.
This is a common perspective of those who occupy the far left’s ideological fever swamps.

Mark Cuban made a great move that made him a very wealthy man.
He may be rich but he is still an a$$wipe.
Maybe he is personable but still not fit to befriend by any means.
“A rich reprobate,” is the proper moniker.
That moron is a truly disgusting a**hole.
How he ever got so rich is beyond me.
I stopped watching “Shark Tank” a long time ago because I couldn’t stand this smug a**ho**.
Says all you need to know, so did hitlary. That is how they see it in their biosphere
“Cuban knows this, because, all appearances aside, he’s not an idiot.”
————————
I’m not so sure about that. I have probably watched him give interviews at least a dozen times, and I have never been particularly impressed by him. Yes, he is fabulously wealthy. But sometimes a person is just in the right place at the right time, and their great fortune (literally) does not exist because of any particular brilliance. Or, perhaps, his brilliance is confined to some narrow areas of technology. But when it comes to common sense and politics, he Is distinctly average.
From what I’ve seen of Shark Tank, Cuban is competing with other host who backs Trump. Too bad Cuban is this dumb.
“I think the people running things have given up on Harris rising to anything close to winning. They are salvaging down ballot chances as best they can, and looking to 2028 to start fresh.”
——————
Don’t be so complacent. One major gaff by Trump, and it could be all over. I don’t think that will happen, but I’m not so much worried about what happens up until election day, I am much more worried about what happens afterwards. The first thing that we are going to have to deal with, besides riots, is a drawn out count of ballots. Not legitimate votes, mind you, but ballots. Then comes November 26, when judge Meehan is going to sentence Trump to more than one year in jail. That will make him a “felon” and the Democrats will make a very big deal about him not being eligible to hold the office of President. They are also going to try pulling some shenanigans regarding the 14th amendment and Trump being “ineligible“ because he was “in a state of rebellion“ against the constitution. Of course that is nonsense, and that section doesn’t even apply to the President to begin with. But that is not going to stop them from trying. I would also not be surprised if we have more January 6 “activities,” including a staged mass casualty event that winds up with a lot more Republican congressman being killed Democrats. They will try to pin everything on Trump.
As the great philosopher, Yogi Berra, stated: “it ain’t over till it’s over.”
