Free Republic

Just saw the driver of the millenium on CNN's Inside Politics and he was asked directly for proof of his charge of bribery. He went into a rant about "coercion" and "loans to Turkey" being made. Pathetic.

Graeme Massie Thu, June 8, 2023 at 2:11 PM MDT·2 min read A Donald Trump-supporting New York billionaire says that he wants to buy embattled CNN from Warner Bros. Discovery. Grocery mogul John Catsimatidis told The New York Post that he would “go run the place tomorrow morning and all I’d want is $1 per year.” The news network has been hit by falling ratings and earlier this week under-fire CEO Chris Licht, who attempted to drag CNN to the right, was fired after a searing profile in The Atlantic. Greek-born Mr Catsimatidis, 74, refused to tell the newspaper how...

While discussing YouTube’s decision to abandon the policy to ban election “misinformation,” CNN analyst Kirsten Powers, who claims to be a free speech supporter, suggested that if Big Tech platforms are banning what Republicans say, maybe they just shouldn’t say it. “If there is some sort of huge riot, then the first platform that’s going to move, which is YouTube, is the one that we’re going to look at and say, ‘What did we do here?’” CNN analyst Sara Fischer asked during the discussion. “Yes. But they can’t put the genie back in the bottle,” Powers replied. “Once it’s out,...

Leo Dee announces intention to sue CNN for 'shootout' comments, says he rejected Christiane Amanpour's email apology. Leo Dee, who lost his wife and two of his daughters in a terror attack, has announced that he will sue CNN for comments claiming they were "killed in a shootout." Speaking to i24NEWS, Dee said, "The fact that they said they were killed, and not brutally murdered by evil Palestinian terrorists funded by Iran is the typical CNN-ism, where they basically try like this comparison between the victim and the terrorist." "Christiane Amanpour wrote me a brief email apologizing for any misunderstanding...

Democratic Strategist Aisha Mills said Monday on CNN that Florida is a “terrorist state,” despite admitting she went there with her family for spring break. The NAACP issued a travel warning for Florida on Saturday, claiming the state “devalues and marginalizes” issues facing “communities of color.” “Florida is openly hostile toward African Americans, people of color and LGBTQ+ individuals,” the NAACP said. “Before traveling to Florida, please understand that the state of Florida devalues and marginalizes the contributions of, and the challenges faced by African Americans and other communities of color

Flights from Catania airport in Sicily were grounded on Sunday after volcanic ash from an eruption of Mount Etna covered the runways. Airport authorities announced that flights would be suspended until Monday 9 a.m. local time (3 a.m. ET) due to the fallout from the eruption on Twitter. They later told CNN that flights are expected to resume at midday Monday (6 a.m. ET).

As the situation at the southern border spirals out of control, one migrant let slip the true cause of the surge. At 11:59 pm on Thursday night, Biden allowed Title 42, a Trump-era policy allowing for the quick removal of illegal immigrants, to expire. As anyone with common sense could have guessed, this led to absolute chaos at the border. With communities along the US-Mexico border struggling to grapple with the dire situation, a CNN reporter interviewed one migrant about his reasons for coming across, and what he said completely demolished the left's border narrative. The reporter asked him, "Were...

CNN chief Chris Licht reportedly scolded far-left ‘journalist’ Oliver Darcy for being too emotional in his coverage of the network’s town hall event with Trump. Darcy released his Reliable Sources newsletter, whining about the debate 15 minutes after CNN released a statement essentially bragging about the event. Darcy was reportedly ‘visibly shaken’ over this exchange. Prior to joining CNN, Darcy worked for conservative outlets like The Blaze and the Daily Caller, but since joining CNN, has become a major mouthpiece for the far left in pushing lies about Russian collusion and focusing his attention on smearing Trump and conservatives.

CNN and the fake news legacy media were not the only losers last night. President Trump agreed to appear at a CNN town hall in New Hampshire on Wednesday night that turned into a lopsided debate win over CNN host Kaitlan Collins. Trump gave Kaitlan a thorough thrashing. But CNN was not the only loser last night. The DeSantis team posted comments following the debate where they revealed their support for the Democrats and administrative state. The DeSantis team came out in support of” ** politically motivated prosecutions ** FBI-DOJ interference in elections ** lawfare by the FBI, DOJ, CIA,...

CNN CEO Chris Licht plans to offer Kaitlan Collins a new contract and the 9 p.m. time slot at the network, Puck News reported on Wednesday. Dylan Byers reported the news just hours before Collins is set to host a 90-minute town hall in New Hampshire with former President Donald Trump. It is Trump’s first town hall of the 2024 presidential campaign and his first appearance on the network in years. “Kaitlan’s offer is not contingent on her performance at tonight’s town hall, but, given the Trump X-factor, those 90 minutes have the potential to modify, accelerate, or stifle the...

After the town hall, CNN’s Gary Tuchman spoke with eight members of the audience, most of whom were Trump supporters. One of the interesting things about their response was that they felt the same way about Trump after the event, it didn’t make them think more or less of him. But CNN immediately got hammered with their first question. Tuchman didn’t act as much like a moderator trying to get their opinion as a Democratic propagandist trying to impose his own opinion on them. He prefaced his question by saying Trump was a liar and then asked about Trump talking...

It’s becoming a lot of fun to watch the propaganda organs react to the recently announced plan of Tucker Carlson to use the recently liberated Twitter as his future platform, post-Fox. The combination of Elon Musk, who has become a free speech disciple, and is not-so-incidentally one of the world’s richest people and widely admired by the public for his pioneering entrepreneurship, with Tucker Carlson, who already was the most important political commentator in America, has got them scared. NBC News dug up Brian Stelter, the recently-fired CNN commentator, to help its own Tom Costello bemoan the fact that nobody...

Lincoln Project degenerate Rick Wilson is really upset (He should be happy because he makes his money from deranged Democrats)

As the 2024 presidential race heats up, Democrats are taking a cold hard look at their running mates compared to the GOP's team. The Left has President Joe Biden, an 80-year-old senior who doesn't know up from down, and a meditating hippy who preaches the "politics of love." Their only real chance of taking the crown at this point is the newly announced presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and even that is a long shot. So it makes sense that Democrats are starting to panic that Republicans will secure the vote. On Saturday, New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman...

By The First 54 mins ago Donald Trump weighed-in Monday on the termination of Don Lemon over at CNN, saying “the dumbest man on television has been fired.” “Good News: ‘The dumbest man on television,’ Don Lemon, has finally been fired from Fake News CNN. My only question is, WHAT TOOK THEM SO LONG?” posted Trump on Truth Social. CNN announced on Monday that they were ending their contract with Don Lemon after a 17 year run at the network. This news came after Lemon had a short, yet controversial tenure as a morning show co-host. CNN stated that Lemon...

Shell will depart effective immediately. The decision follows a company-led investigation conducted by outside counsel “into a complaint of inappropriate conduct.” “Today is my last day as CEO of NBCUniversal.

The “mutual” decision comes after an investigation led by outside counsel into a complaint on inappropriate conduct by Shell. “Today is my last day as CEO of NBCUniversal,” Shell said in a statement. “I had an inappropriate relationship with a woman in the company, which I deeply regret,” said Shell, who is married. “I’m truly sorry I let my Comcast and NBCUniversal colleagues down, they are the most talented people in the business and the opportunity to work with them the last 10...

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D., N.Y.) once claimed he had only a "vague recollection" of and hadn't looked at the anti-Semitic speeches made by his uncle in the 1990s, but a 1992 editorial by the Democratic leader uncovered by CNN shows he defended his uncle, his comments, and notorious anti-Semitic Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. Jeffries’s uncle, Leonard Jeffries, faced backlash in the 1990s for his comments accusing "rich Jews" of being responsible for the slave trade and alleging the existence of "a conspiracy, planned and plotted" by Jewish executives in Hollywood to portray black people poorly. Farrakhan...

CNN is closing in on a deal that would bring broadcaster Gayle King to the network to host a show in prime time, according to multiple reports. King, 68, has served as a co-host of “CBS Mornings” for more than a decade and is reportedly in talks with CNN president Chris Licht about a weekly show that would debut this fall. The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday the network is also in talks with basketball analyst Charles Barkley to appear on a show with King, citing people familiar with the conversations. King’s duties with CBS are not expected to...
