CNN had its lowest weekly audience since the Obama administration on June 14 as its rating problems continue to plague the distressed network. After
being purchased by Warner Bros. Discovery early this year in a $43 billion deal, CNN averaged just about 393,000 total viewers on June 14. The network additionally experienced its least viewed weekday, excluding Thanksgiving, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. when the daytime programming on CNN managed only to attract an average of 489,000 viewers. This was the worst performance for CNN in this category since November 3, 2015. CNN has developed a history of relying...

Biden fails to reach 'very positive' heights of Trump and Obama in first address to Congress: CNN snap poll

| April 28, 2021 | Carly Roman
President Joe Biden's first address to a joint session of Congress received a less enthusiastic reception than those of his immediate predecessors, according to a CNN instant poll of speech watchers. Roughly
half of viewers, 51%, fell in the "very positive" reaction category. A chart showed that is a lower figure than was recorded for former Presidents Donald Trump in 2017, Barack Obama in 2009, and George W. Bush in 2001, whose "very positive" scores in the same poll were 57%, 68%, and 66%, respectively. More than 70% of speech watchers said the speech made them feel more optimistic as...

CNN 'Correspondent': Obama='Progress,' Trump='Step Back,' Kamala='Thrilling'

Question: at CNN, is there any distinction—whatsoever—between being a "correspondent," which might imply a certain degree of objectivity, and being an unabashed liberal partisan? Apparently
not, judging from the comments of prominent CNN "correspondent" Abby Phillip on this morning's New Day. Phillip described the election of Barack Obama as "progress" for America, whereas the election of Donald Trump was "a couple of steps back," with the "pendulum swinging" in the wrong direction. Phillip followed that bit of blatant liberal punditry by describing the prospective election of Kamala Harris as VP as "a thrilling moment." Shades of Chris Matthews' famous thrill...

CNN fawns over Michelle Obama’s DNC speech, lets misleading immigration claim slide

Fox News ^
| 8/18/2020 | Brian Flood
Subtitle: Network pundits took turns praising former first lady following DNC speech. CNN
fawned over Michelle Obama's Democratic National Convention speech while overlooking a misleading claim that even the Associated Press felt compelled to fact-check. CNN bills itself as a network dedicated to “facts” and fact-checks President Trump and members of his administration at every turn. However, a review of the network’s transcripts showed no mention of a misleading moment in the first hour following Obama’s speech. “Michelle Obama assailed President Donald Trump on Monday for ripping migrant children from their parents and throwing them into cages, picking up on...

CNN Host John Berman 'Clamoring' for Michelle Obama 'VOTE' Necklace

| Mark Finkelstein
There wasn't much good to say about the opening night of the Democrat convention. It
was panned even by liberal voices and a Never Trumper as, respectively, "a long YouTube ad you'd skip," "cheesy videos," and a "sad telethon." So, like much of the liberal media's DNC coverage, CNN's New Day was reduced to focusing on what they saw as a lonely point of light [sorry, H.W.]: Michelle Obama's speech. [snip] When co-host John Berman enthused over Michelle having worn a "VOTE" necklace, Camerota added "which people are now clamoring for this morning, of course." To which John Berman responded:...

Tuesday on CNN, host Don Lemon said President Barack Obama should be added to the Mount Rushmore sculptures of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt. While discussing a California couple charged for painting over a “Black Lives Matter” mural, Lemon said, “You see the right-wing machine kick in, media

President Donald Trump’s trip to Mount Rushmore on Friday was met with jeers from the ever-so-reliably anti-Trump network CNN, which had all kinds of negative things to say about the monument in connection to Trump’s visit. “President
Trump will be at Mt. Rushmore where he’ll be standing in front of a monument of two slave owners and on land wrestled away from Native Americans told that [they are] focusing on the effort to, quote, tear down our country’s history,” reported CNN Leyla Santiago on The Lead with Jake Tapper. We could check the archives, but safe bet that this is...

CNN described Mount Rushmore as a “monument of two slave owners” on “land wrestled [sic] away from Native Americans” ahead of President Donald Trump’s visit there on Friday. But in 2008, CNN marveled at the landmark when then-Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) visited Rushmore on the campaign trail.

CNN’s Don Lemon went on a bizarre rant Sunday night accusing President Donald Trump of possessing a severe aversion to his predecessor because Michelle Obama is apparently prettier and more accomplished than First Lady Melania Trump. “What is it about President Obama that really gets under your skin?” Lemon
asked rhetorically to kick off his creepy monologue filled with awkward silences. Is it because he’s smarter than you? Better educated? Made it on his own? Didn’t need daddy’s help? Wife is more accomplished, better looking? I don’t know, what is it? What is it about him? That he’s a black...

Sunday night on CNN, anchor Don Lemon accused President Donald Trump of letting former President Barack Obama get under his skin because he is better looking, smarter, and has a more accomplished wife. After
playing a clip of Obama giving a video message on the coronavirus pandemic, Lemon said, “Boy, oh, boy, that’s leadership. That’s compassion. It’s too bad that President Trump can’t show either.” He continued, “By the way, what is it about President Obama that really gets under your skin? Is it because he’s smarter than you?

Liberal media outlets were quick to shill for former President Barack Obama’s recent swipes at President Donald Trump. CNN, USA Today and The Washington Post all pushed liberal spin stories elevating Obama’s tweet, which took two veiled shots at the Trump administration. One
alleged the administration’s denial "of warnings of a pandemic." Obama’s other shot bleated about the consequences of “climate denial” over Trump's decision to roll back his auto emission standards

CNN Downplayed Swine Flu Under Obama, Went Gonzo On Wuhan Flu Under Trump

| March 19, 2020 | Chrissy Clark
In 2009, CNN casually covered the Swine flu pandemic under Obama. In 2020, CNN started lambasting Trump in its coronavirus coverage. In
2009, at the height of the H1N1 pandemic commonly referred to as “swine flu,†the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) suggested Americans should shut down schools, begin working from home, and quarantine themselves. Americans made minimal changes to their routines. Eleven years later, a new pandemic arose with similar CDC suggestions, but an entirely different reaction.Americans are stockpiling toilet paper and many are taking extreme precautions to self-quarantine in these so-called unprecedented times.

On Monday, CNN seemingly attempted to paint President Donald Trump as culpable for tragic mass shootings over the weekend in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio. Anchors Poppy Harlow and John Avlon claimed on-air that the president eliminated a proposed Obama-era regulation that would keep firearms out of the hands of the
"mentally ill."

CNN asks AOC if Obama had 'concentration camps'

| 6/27/2019 | unknown
Despite criticism from Holocaust survivors, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., continues to use the term “concentration camps” to describe the federal detention centers temporarily housing the massive wave of migrants who cross the border illegally to apply for asylum. Ocasio-Cortez’s
chief target of criticism has been President Trump, but as President Obama’s former ICE chief pointed out this week, the detention centers existed during the Obama administration. So CNN’s Jake Tapper asked the self-described democratic socialist congresswoman if she called the centers “concentration camps” while Obama was president. “Well, at the time, I was working in a restaurant,” she began. “But...

It’s only a matter of time before AG Bill Barr and newly appointed investigator John Durham get to this bit of information. In
an interview with CNN on July 22 of last year, crooked former Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper inadvertently spilled the beans on Obama: Transcript: CLAPPER: “If it weren’t for President Obama we might not have done the intelligence community assessment that we did that set up a whole sequence of events which are still unfolding today, notably Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation. President Obama is responsible for that. It was he who tasked us to do that...

We wrote an article a while back asking Leftists to at least consider the idea that Democrats attempted a coup against President Trump. Because Leftists are incapable of thinking they are wrong, I needed to “bitch-slap” them into what I know to be the reality: Democrats tried to set Trump (and satellites)
up. Many now come to that conclusion. Despite the con job currently underway by Adam “I have more damaging info on Trump” Schiff’s protestations otherwise. Things have turned on Democrats in a bad way. And we see it with what fake news CNN admitted recently in an op-ed:...

FULL TITLE: Clapper Sings – Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper Tells CNN Obama Ordered the Trump-Russia Spying Operation (VIDEO) After two years of investigation Special Counsel Robert Mueller and his team of angry Democrats did not find any collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. Mueller also did not find
any evidence of conspiracy after President Trump fired crooked leaker FBI Director James Comey. Clapper defended the Obama administration’s spying on their political opposition during the election. And then Clapper appeared to put blame on Barack Obama for spying on his opponent during the 2016 presidential election. Via...

ANDERSON COOPER, CNN HOST: The 2017 assessment that the President says he now agrees with, that was done while you and then NCI Director John Brennan were still in office. So,
how can we reconcile the President attacking you, but apparently after a very long time finally, allegedly saying — or saying he allegedly agrees with the product of the intelligence community that you, yourself oversaw?JAMES CLAPPER: Yes, well, this is — yes, as we’ve come to know the President, he is not a stalwart for a consistency or coherence. So it’s very hard to explain that. One point...
