Indeed, June 1993 was a very long time ago. It was also the last time weekend ratings for CNN’s Saturday programming were as low as they were this year, and keep in mind that neither MSNBC nor Fox News were even in existence at that time. Also, note that those ratings include the viewership for CNN’s incomparable Brian Stelter… couldn’t happen to a more deserving guy.
While CNN was seeing strong ratings during the Trump Era, they were also lifting their skirt. CNN showed America and the world their true character: They were/are nothing but political activists with a far-left agenda. They fed their mind-numb, ignorant viewers a steady diet of ‘Trump is a Russian puppet’ for three years. Their minions nodded their heads, and CNN thought that were kicking ass. But in reality, they were absolutely destroying their reputation.
No, the reason why CNN and others are starting to report accurately on the dumpster fire known as the Biden Administration is not that they’ve seen the light and are now practicing journalistic integrity, it’s because they see the writing on the wall. They recognize that their cronies in government are going to lose power if they keep their wagon hitched to Biden.
Paging Politico: here is Ron DeSantis addressing the question of insurance at a public event this week. The issues Governor DeSantis has tackled range from tax relief to education to cancer research. Finding Ron DeSantis doing his job as a Governor is very easy even for a private citizen like myself. So, to paraphrase Brian Stelter, “with major newsrooms and desks and operations that work hard on verifying information,” the only reason that Politico wasn’t able to track Ron DeSantis is they were not trying very hard.
No serious Republican has endorsed this extreme racist French theory” that there is a Jewish plot to “replace” white Americans with Muslims and Africans (racist because it involves Jewish plots and refers to specific races and religions). Republican objections to the Democrat plan would be exactly the same if Democrats were importing blonde-haired blue-eyed yodeling Scandinavians to shift the US electorate to the Left.
In Schiavo’s case, criminal proceedings may yet ensue. According to NewsMax.com, Florida’s Department of Children and Families had received 89 allegations that Schiavo had abused his wife – but Judge Greer (surprise!) ruled that DCF summaries of those allegations must remain secret to everyone except (surprise!) Michael Schiavo himself. However, The St. Petersburg Times and the Tampa Tribune have now filed lawsuits for the release of the abuse summaries.
Leonardo DiCaprio is still yapping about global warming – or is it climate change this week, I forget. He’s demanding that we give up our cars and freeze to death in the winter to save the planet that he promised would perish 20 years ago. It’s a slap to our face every time he boards a private jet to attend an environmental conference in Switzerland.
This should not be hard for the left to grasp because this is the same argument they have used since at least the 1960’s, namely that one should not evaluate someone for a position on the basis of their skin color or gender because it is racist and/or sexist to do so. However, it is now, in a miraculous act of transubstantiation, seen by the Left as racist or sexist not to do so.
But what’s most disturbing about this footage is the timing. Note the date of the airing of this episode – October 26th, 2020 – which was only nine days before Election Day. How many viewers watched that show that night and had been on the fence on whom to vote for? How many voters cast a vote for Biden nine days later that might have otherwise cast it for Trump if Leslie Stahl had been honest?
Both have had issues with their trustworthiness over the years. Wallace’s infamous performance during the 2020 Presidential Debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump showed his true left-leanings, as he repeatedly interrupted Trump while allowing Biden to babble endlessly. And though there are other examples of Wallace’s reliability concerns, Brian Williams’ believability is utterly non-existent.
If CNN fires Brian “the Potato” Stelter, we’re gonna have to find a new joke. There won’t be “Tater” to mock anymore!Unfortunately (or fortunately, if you prefer truth in media to easy jokes), news is dribbling out of the network that Mr. Potatohead’s final days at CNN are numbered, with much of that news leaking out on Twitter:
