Paging CNN president Chris Licht. Do you remember the request you made last June that your personnel not use the highly partisan term "The Big Lie" to describe skepticism about the conduct of the 2020 election? Well, perhaps you need to emphasize that request again to the Sunday host of CNN's Inside Politics, Abby Phillip, who repeated that phrase you frowned upon not once but twice in just a little over a minute and a half.
The total number of times "The Big Lie" was invoked on Sunday was actually three since the Washington Post White House Bureau Chief also recited the term during that time frame which gives us yet another example as to the political bias of that newspaper.
A June 15 Mediaite article made it clear what Licht's attitude was toward "The Big Lie" narrative: "New CNN Boss Chris Licht Wants Staff to Stop Calling Trump’s Election Claims ‘The Big Lie’."
New CNN president Chris Licht discouraged staff from using “the big

DEMOCRAT OPERATIVE: Don't worry. If that happens we have a nice cushy job waiting for you to soften the blow.
The big lie…you mean the multiyear 24/7 breathless coverage of russian collusion…that kind of big lie?
I guess we will find out if Licht meant what he said.
It doesn’t matter. So few people watch CNN. Right-wing media shouldn’t give CNN the time of day. MAGA politicians should never appear on CNN. Let CNN self destruct.
Just curious: Has the phrase “The big lie” every been used when describing the Hillary Clinton Russia collusion hoax? Or “false claim” when they describe “Trump Russia collusion”?
I notice every time the DemoMarxist domestic enemies of the United States talk about Trump questioning the 2020 election, they always put “false claim” before it.
“The false claim by Trump that the 2020 election was stolen”
But they never say that about the Russia collusion hoax do they, for which to date there has never been any committee investigating it, certainly no televised committee like the Pelosi Stalinist Jan.6th committee even though the hoax cost the taxpayers millions, destroyed people financially, divided the nation, hindered a President from doing his job, and most likely helped kick off the Joe Biden Holocaust that very well could ultimately result in nuclear Armageddon.
She may already be in notice that her time was coming to an end, so she didn’t care.
YouTube has many times more viewers than does cnn.
Homeless YouTubers have bigger followings.
It wasn’t a “lie”..it was a “hoax”. And the FBI and RINOcrsts we’re all in on it.
You know hillz..to use the lingo of the day.. was just “punking” Trump.
Some day we will all look back on this and have a good laugh.
I recently calculated CNN primetime viewership in Pennsylvania based of population percentages and CNN’s ratings. It was something like 28k in a population of 12.3 million. Completely insignificant.

“The Big Lie” would be a great name for a CNN news/talk show.
I’m betting he doesn’t have the stones to do a thing about it. When one of my employees blatantly disregards an unambiguous directive with full knowledge of same they are fired. Immediately.
I remember CNN.
Ted Turner promoted classic American movies, suggested bison should be cultivated across the land as a healthy meat, and built a very useful, for a while news service. Several of his ideas such as the ones above could get you banned from most respectable conversations, speaking opportunities, and generally marked as a very bad person. Might even get you charged with a crime in some places. CNN - I remember when.
