  • Jake Tapper Is Paid Millions A Year To Not Know The News

    Just when you think CNN’s Jake Tapper can’t become an even bigger media hack than he already is, he finds a way to prove you wrong. The latest incident of the network host’s shoddy conduct as a so-called “journalist” came on Friday during his interview with New York City Mayor Eric Adams. Among the topics covered during the exchange was the Big Apple’s upcoming mayoral contest, which will pit Adams against the newly nominated Democrat candidate, radical socialist Zohran Mamdani. When the conversation shifted to the race against Mamdani, Tapper — whose network a jury found is actually fake news...
  • Whitewash: Watch CNN Pull a 'Kamala Harris' on Zohran Mamdani's Views

    Zohran Mamdani is inches away from becoming the next mayor of New York City. He bested former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary, and he’s a full-blown communist. There’s no denying that. He also wants the government to run the grocery stores, defund the police, and tax white neighborhoods. He’s tried to finagle some issues, like saying he wants to reform policing instead of eliminating it. Still, it’s going to be fun watching the media fail to hold this guy accountable. For CNN’s Scott Jennings, all he could do was laugh as he watched his network colleagues...
  • VIDEO: Smerconish SHOCKED that 72% of His Viewers Admit to Having CLOSED MINDS

    VIDEOMike Smerconish's poll question on CNN on Sunday was "Do You Have an Open Mind on President Donald Trump?" The result shocked Smerconish since 72% of his viewers admitted to having a CLOSED MIND when it comes to Trump. Since maybe 20% of Smerconish's viewers are normal people, this poll really means that OVER 90% of liberals readily admit they have CLOSED minds.

    Eric Adams was once a rising star in the Democratic Party. His reelection will hinge on taking down the newest one. Hours after Zohran Mamdani’s performance in New York City’s Democratic primary electrified national politics, Adams painted the 33-year-old democratic socialist as an entitled and inexperienced lawmaker trying to hoodwink New Yorkers with unrealistic campaign proposals. “This is a city not of socialism,” Adams said. Speaking Thursday on the steps of City Hall, Adams pitched himself as a tested, working-class leader focused on public safety and economic recovery who wants to complete the job he set out to do nearly...
  • Barrett's majority opinion came after Trump privately griped about her

    For months, President Donald Trump has griped in private about some of the Supreme Court justices he appointed during his first term, believing they were not sufficiently standing behind his agenda. But on Friday, all of his appointees — including Justice Amy Coney Barrett, the one who’s earned his particular ire — ruled in his favor in a case challenging his executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship, with Barrett writing the majority opinion. The ruling was a decisive win for a president who has long railed against unelected judges blocking some of his executive actions. The decision limits lower...

    Just because it's on the internet doesn't make it true. It seems so simple, but if everyone knew that, Facebook and Google wouldn't have to pull bogus news sites from their advertising algorithms and people wouldn't breathlessly share stories that claim Donald Trump is a secret lizard person or Hillary Clinton is an android in a pantsuit. It doesn't have to be this way. Fake news is actually really easy to spot -- if you know how. Consider this your New Media Literacy Guide.

    President Donald Trump suggested Thursday that Democrat lawmakers are responsible for leaking top secret intelligence about last week’s strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. “The Democrats are the ones who leaked the information on the PERFECT FLIGHT to the nuclear sites in Iran,” the president posted on Truth Social. “They should be prosecuted!” The post comes as the Pentagon, along with assistance from the FBI, is actively working to identify the source of leaks about a preliminary Central Command battle damage assessment. At least one anonymous source leaked the information, which was preliminary, to CNN and the New York Times. Both...

    He went on about how America is racist at its core, sexist towards women, and homophobic. The whole woke alphabet was being recited, but where things go off the rails, and where you don’t need to pay him any more mind, is when he said that the rates of cancer, obesity, and heart disease are higher among black Americans because of the n-word. I’m not kidding. "'m a black man in America. The reason why heart disease and cancer and obesity and diabetes are bigger in the black community is because of the stress we carry from having to deal...

    CNN is taking credit for prompting the firing of The Western Journal founder and former owner Floyd Brown, who only a month ago had taken a senior position at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. The piece by CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski describes Brown as a “far-right activist” who is a professing Christian and who has made statements in the past critical of the homosexual lifestyle and same-sex marriage. ... In February, President Donald Trump announced that he was naming Ric Grenell as interim director of the Kennedy Center. The president wrote on social media, “Ric shares my Vision for...

    U.S. — CNN has obtained a classified briefing revealing that the city of Hiroshima was "barely affected" after being hit by an atomic bomb. According to anonymous sources, the briefing states that Hiroshima being hit by a nuke only set back the city "a couple of months" and that all of its industries would be operating as normal shortly. "Hiroshima escaped with minimal damage," reported CNN's Anderson Cooper. "A few entrances to the city were shut down, but otherwise the city remains completely intact. We have highly classified intelligence which confirms that Hiroshima was not, I repeat, was not incinerated...

    White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt demanded CNN retract a story on Sunday that claimed Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries were not briefed on President Donald Trump’s strike on Iran. Trump launched "Operation: Midnight Hammer" on Saturday and struck three of Iran’s key nuclear facilities in a surprise attack. The White House announced the success of the attack later that night. CNN reported that House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, both Republicans, were briefed on the strikes ahead of time, with Schumer and Jeffries, both Democrats, receiving notifications only before...

    US President Donald Trump’s decision to launch direct strikes against Iranian nuclear sites has sparked a wave of anger in the country, with people on the streets of Tehran telling CNN they expect their country to strike back. “Iranian people are people of honor, and we will definitely give a strong response,” one man told CNN. “We will stand strongly like we have been for the past 40 years,” he added. Large crowds gathered at the Enqelab Square in central Tehran on Sunday evening, protesting the strikes. Footage published by the state-affiliated Fars News Agency showed people waving Iranian flags...

    Jim Himes, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, was not briefed before the US strikes on Iran — even though his GOP counterpart on the panel, Chairman Rick Crawford, was in contact with the White House, per a person familiar. Sen. Mark Warner, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, also was not briefed before the attack, per a source familiar, but the GOP chairman, Tom Cotton, was briefed. Both Democrats are in the “Gang of Eight,” which typically would be briefed before a significant US military engagement. The Gang of Eight includes the House and Senate...

    On Friday’s broadcast of “CNN News Central,” Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) stated that it’s now time for the U.S. to call for the total end of Iranian uranium enrichment “and to say that the inspections would be broader, deeper, more continuous, and that they would abandon all of their nuclear enrichment program. And that would require them opening up all of their sites to continuous monitoring, and, frankly, actions to decommission what’s left of their nuclear program.” Co-host John Berman asked, “[I]s there a red line for you in these negotiations? Is there any — in other words, if Iran...

    New York CNN — At Home, a popular home goods retailer with 260 stores across 40 US states, has filed for bankruptcy, citing the backdrop of tariff increases and a slowdown in consumer spending. The Dallas-based company announced Monday that it had entered an agreement with its lenders that “will eliminate substantially all” of its roughly $2 billion in debt and provide $200 million in fresh funding to keep At Home operating while it navigates the Chapter 11 process. Brad Weston, At Home’s CEO who joined the company last year, said in a statement that the company is “operating against...

    he hits just keep coming for CNN. The far left network is facing being spun off by its corporate parent company Warner Bros./Discovery sometime in 2026. They view the network as a ‘declining asset’ and are going to split it into two entities. The people who are described as on-air ‘talent’ have destroyed what was once considered the foundation of cable news. Over the last decade they have shredded not only their own credibility, but the reputation of the network. They have totally earned what is coming.
