CNN's Cornish Admits Social Media Algorithm Bias — But Ignores Her Own in Attack on Trump

For the second straight day, CNN This Morning host Audie Cornish served up carefully curated anecdotal voices to suggest broad economic discontent under President Trump.

On Monday, we caught Cornish spotlighting one Republican voter — out of tens of millions nationwide — to imply GOP unease over the economy.

On Tuesday, she swapped that single poll respondent for a montage of social media complaints.

The segment opened with a young woman declaring, “Everything is so expensive, and our wages haven’t changed.” Minutes later, viewers saw a trio of social media clips — including that same young woman again — lamenting high grocery prices, gas costs, and benefit cuts.

One young man asserted that “Most people are losing things like SNAP, WIC, things of that nature, and can’t even afford to live,” audibly stressing the word.

Apparently, survival itself is now in doubt. Cornish offered no pushback on that hyperbolic claim.

Then came the moment of candor.

Cornish acknowledged, “In TikTok land, I realize everyone’s algorithm is biased.”

Exactamundo, Audie! And it’s obvious what your bias is!

CNN’s Audie Cornish admits social media algorithm bias—but fails to acknowledge her own!

Ping to Liberal Media Bias.

Any wonder why CNN has lost 90% of its audience? Audie is talking to herself.

Does anyone expect CNN to tell the truth, much less Cornish?
