This Could Get Interesting

Chris Cuomo Preparing To Take The Fight To CNN With Massive Lawsuit: Report | The Daily Wire

Normally I don’t care about these sorts of squabbles. But the rumors are that there’s a lot more corruption at CNN even than is generally known, and that Cuomo has the details. In writing or on tape.

Former CNN host Chris Cuomo is reportedly planning on taking on his former network by filing a massive lawsuit to get tens of millions of dollars that he believes is still owed to him on his contract and to “likely” seek damages from his recent firing.

“Cuomo, 51, has hired lawyers and is preparing to file the lawsuit over the remainder of the four-year contract he signed last year — after a bitter back-and-forth about what the network knew of his secret efforts to aid his embattled brother, then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo,” the New York Post reported. “His contract was reportedly worth $6 million annually, leaving between $18 million and $20 million that he would be owed, sources said, adding that Chris Cuomo would also likely seek damages.”

A CNN insider said that the far-left network has “no intention of paying Cuomo a penny” because “if he gets a settlement, there would be uproar.”

We’ll see what happens.

In Fairness, Acosta Is an Idiot

Not only could he have, he was pressured to do so from many directions, including the White House. So, to even imply that McConnell would do it is to show a stunning amount of ignorance, even for someone employed by CNN.

Acosta: Democrats could think about it this way: If Mitch McConnell were in their shoes, what would he do? Given what we know, would we see him letting the filibuster stand? Is the filibuster more important than election rights, women’s rights… pic.twitter.com/90ZwDIoAdT

Still, it hardly seems like this could have been a surprise to CNN either. But, at least we know.

What a scumbag. Just like his brother, apparently.

By Now You Know This Already

CNN Terminates Chris Cuomo ‘Effective Immediately’ Over Scandal | The Daily Wire

So, they suspended him pending review.

“Chris Cuomo was suspended earlier this week pending further evaluation of new information that came to light about his involvement with his brother’s defense,” CNN said in a statement. “We retained a respected law firm to conduct the review, and have terminated him, effective immediately.”

To me, this is the curious bit.

“While in the process of that review, additional information has come to light,” the network added. “Despite the termination, we will investigate as appropriate.”

What information could they possibly have uncovered this quickly that would be worse than what we already know?

Tune in later for more details.

CNN Runs Propaganda Piece on Inflation

CNN Story Says ‘Inflation Can Actually Be Good For Everyday Americans.’ Here’s What CNN Published Two Weeks Ago. | The Daily Wire

CNN is running some serious spin here for the Democrats. Try to imagine them saying the same thing if the Republicans were in charge.

CNN posted an article on its website Wednesday titled “Why inflation can actually be good for everyday Americans and bad for rich people” by CNN senior editor and business writer Allison Morrow. “[O]n the whole,” she writes, “many working-class Americans” will benefit from rising prices caused by the devaluing of the U.S. dollar, “especially those with fixed-rate debt like a 30-year mortgage.”

There’s a lot of nonsense in the piece about wages catching up to inflation, and being able to benefit if you have a fixed rate mortgage, etc. The problem is that there’s a long lag between wages catching up, and sure being able to benefit on the mortgage is nice, but doesn’t help me buy groceries.

Also, it’s stupid to say that this helps the lower or middle classes more, because it’s the affluent who are most likely to benefit from mortgage wins.

Here’s what’s been said about inflation n the past, including by CNN:

Traditionally, economists have called inflation “the cruelest tax,” because it hurts the poor, minorities, and people on a fixed income the worst. CNN has reported this fundamental economic principle numerous times, as recently as two weeks ago.

• On November 17, CNN published an article titled “The Americans who are getting the worst of the surge in inflation.” which stated that inflation-drive price hikes “disproportionately harm low-income, [b]lack and brown families. If left unaddressed, escalating food costs will not only make it difficult for these families to put holiday meals on the table; such costs will significantly exacerbate longstanding inequities in hunger and nutrition”;
• In July, a CNN headline stated, “Inflation will hurt low-income Americans for years to come.” Its author, Dana Peterson, wrote that “lower-income families and retirees on fixed incomes will especially feel their buying power erode — not just in the short-term, but for many years to come, further widening the nation’s wealth gap”; and
• In a May article on CNN.com titled “Everything is getting more expensive. That’s especially bad news for low-income Americans,” Anneken Tappe and Nathaniel Meyersohn wrote, “The inflation spike … has been harder for those at the bottom of the income ladder.”

This was all before they realized how much inflation is hurting the Democrats. CNN can’t have that. Have to run protection for the party of choice.

Why people hate the news media.

Media ”Never Really Liked” Andrew Cuomo

Do I have to go find the fawning praise lavished upon him myself? What a joke!

CNN Suspends Cuomo Over New Info Involving Brother; Cuomo Claims Media ‘Never Really Liked’ Brother | The Daily Wire

Chris Cuomo weighed in on the allegations made against his brother during an interview on SiriusXM, saying, “The game has rules.”

“And one of the general principles is you can fight against the other party, and you can fight against the media, but only if you have your party,” Chris Cuomo said. “Andrew had his party enforcing a rule against him that if you have accusations, you have problems, and you don’t really get to really vet the accusations, and you don’t get to go against your accusers.”

Yes, Andrew Cuomo is the true victim here.

But let’s not forget Chris:

“CNN anchor Chris Cuomo was suspended indefinitely by the network on Tuesday in the wake of new details about his efforts to assist his brother,” The New York Times reported, adding that while Chris Cuomo had apologized for advising his brother “thousands of pages of new evidence released on Monday by the New York attorney general, Letitia James, revealed that the anchor’s role had been more intimate and involved than previously known.”

I love it. These clowns will never get what they deserve, but at least they’re getting something.

The Corrupt Investigating the Corrupt

CNN Plans ‘Thorough Review’ After Document Dump Suggests Chris Cuomo Had Larger Role Advising Andrew Cuomo | The Daily Wire

CNN first became aware in May that the “Cuomo Primetime” host had advised his brother on how to handle allegations of sexual harassment and assault, and opted at the time not to suspend him. Instead, the network issued a statement calling the move “inappropriate” and saying that he would “not participate in such conversations going forward.”

So, here’s the thing. They knew. CNN knew. They just didn’t do anything about it. They didn’t care. It wasn’t until it became public and made them look bad that they did something. You can definitely believe that if this had stayed under wraps, Chris Cuomo would still be happily hosting his show.

The corrupt investigating the corrupt.

Who Couldn’t Have Seen This Coming?

‘Business-As-Usual’: Transcript Shows CNN’s Chris Cuomo Looked Into Ronan Farrow’s Investigation Into Andrew Cuomo, Shared ‘Intel’ | The Daily Wire

According to a newly-released transcript of Ronan Farrow’s testimony to New York state investigators in July, a text exchange indicates that CNN anchor Chris Cuomo looked into Farrow’s reporting about Governor Andrew Cuomo and relayed information to his brother’s inner circle, days before it was published

“Farrow, who famously won the Pulitzer Prize and helped launch the #MeToo movement with his reporting on disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein, also took a deep dive into alleged sexual wrongdoing by former Gov. Cuomo, the CNN anchor’s older brother,” reported Fox News.

“Chris Cuomo admitted to contacting colleagues of Farrow for updates but claimed it was simply ‘business-as-usual’ to employ such methods,” Fox’s report continued. “Text messages released by state investigators showed top Andrew Cuomo aide Melissa DeRosa asking about ‘intel’ the CNN anchor had about Farrow’s report on March 15, to which he replied it wasn’t ready for publication. Farrrow’s story was eventually published on March 18. “

Nice having a brother on the inside. Didn’t end up helping Andrew in the long run, though. Too bad.

Looks like we’re getting two takedowns in the Cuomo family for the price of one.

Brian Stelter Lives in a Bubble World

He’s not affected by the high price of gas, or of food. He probably doesn’t have any relatives in Afghanistan or in the armed forces. He doesn’t live near riot areas, or near places that are being looted.

Brian Stelter: The Reason Americans Think Biden Is Failing Is Because Fox News Told Them So | The Daily Wire

Fox didn’t tell me any of those things. Well, I might have heard about the disastrous pullout from Afghanistan there. The rest of it I can see with my own two eyes.

CNN anchor Brian Stelter seems entirely convinced that the media is at least partly to blame for President Joe Biden’s polling problems — and he even went so far as to suggest that Americans believe Biden is failing to deliver on his campaign promises because negative chyrons on Fox News told them so.

This is rich after his own network spent four years over-hyping every tiny thing in the Trump presidency and contributed its own made up stories to increase the hype.

“If Biden’s strategy is quiet, his detractors are trying to be loud, making the meta story about a guy who failed to deliver, and citing supply chain woes to make those tales sound real,” Stelter added, saying that it no longer mattered if gas prices came down, store shelves were fully stocked, and packages were delivered on time — because the people would believe the stories rather than their own experiences.

Did he just completely forget everything that happened in 2017 through 2020? Biden gets gift after gift from the media. His entire Presidency is a gift from the media. Don’t whine to me about Biden and the media. I’m not that dumb. Even if you are.

It Never Had Any Credibility

You just pretended it did, and now you’ve been caught lying.

CNN: ‘The Credibility Of The’ Steele Dossier ‘Has Significantly Diminished.’ Network Now Has ‘Legitimate Questions’ | The Daily Wire

Remember, you used this to try to bring down a Presidency. Now, three years later you think it’s okay to just say “whoops” and move on? This is the reason people were screaming “impeachment” on the day President Trump took office. Do I need to remind you of the Steele Dossier hysteria?

These videos show the hysteria you tried to drum up. And it was all based upon a lie.

Now you have “legitimate questions”.

“[F]ive years later, the credibility of the dossier has significantly diminished,” wrote Marshall Cohen in an article posted on CNN’s website last Thursday.

“Legitimate questions are now being raised about the dossier — how it was used by Democrats as a political weapon against Trump, how it was handled by the FBI and US intelligence agencies, and how it was portrayed in the mainstream media,” belatedly stated the 3,820-word article, titled “The Steele dossier: A reckoning.”

In fact, federal sources shredded the credibility of the dossier years ago. Robert Mueller noted in 2019 that his “investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.” Inspector General Michael Horowitz concluded in his December 2019 report that the dossier had “zero” corroboration. We now know that as early as December 2016, before Trump took office, Obama administration Assistant Attorney General Bruce Ohr expressed doubts because the report’s primary subsource, Igor Danchenko, lived in Washington, D.C. Danchencko has since been indicted for lying to federal officials about his sources

They Didn’t Get the Facts Right, Because the Facts Weren’t Important to Them

Rittenhouse Defense Lawyer Rips MSNBC, CNN For Missing ‘Basic Facts’: ‘It Makes Me Angry’ | The Daily Wire

“I can say this: much of the coverage at the beginning was wrong. The trial proved that,” Richards said. “Just in the last two weeks, you know, you people may not believe this, but I watch MSNBC, CNN. I’m not a big Fox guy. And when I hear Joe Scarborough saying my client shot his gun 60 times, that’s wrong. When I hear some guest host on Joy Reid say my client drove four hours to go to a riot with his AR, that’s wrong. It’s false.”

“It makes me angry that they can’t take the time to at least get the generic, basic facts correct because it didn’t fit in the story they wanted to tell,” he said.

Maybe you should become a Fox guy.

What is the point of watching a “news source” that isn’t interested in getting the facts straight? Do you think this is the only time they have done this? If they can lie about one thing, they can lie about anything. A new source that lies has zero value.

“I can say this, that when I got involved in this case and there were a couple of other prominent lawyers who were involved and trying to make some calls and I said, ‘Look, all of your riches and civil lawsuits are going nowhere if this kid gets found guilty of anything, so let’s worry about what’s important.’ And ultimately no actions were filed by Kyle or on behalf of Kyle while I was representing him,” Richards said.

He was quite critical, and deservedly so, of Rittenhouse’s former attorneys, who seemed to be in it for the fame and glory, not for the kid. This guy was in it for the kid. I like that about him.

Joe Biden, You Caused This

CNN Films Child Trafficking Transaction and Does Nothing to Stop It – PJ Media

If this doesn’t make you sick to your stomach, you’re inhuman.

CNN sent a camera crew to film a family in Afghanistan selling their 9-year-old daughter to an old pedophile for $2000. The crew not only interviewed the family and knew that they were selling her to buy rice and flour, but they filmed the entire transaction–including the girl being dragged off while resisting and put in a car. The crew that works for a global network worth billions of dollars did not offer to buy the family food so they didn’t have to sell their daughter. They just watched a child being sold into some kind of sex slavery as a “wife.”

The cameras roll as the child applies makeup in preparation for her new “husband.” The father says he has “no choice” but to sell his daughter for food since the Taliban takeover dried up the humanitarian aid he was receiving. The cameras roll as an old man comes to collect his purchase and drags her away as she struggles. No one does anything. The child disappears into the Afghanistan desert as the voiceover says, “The child’s fate has been sealed.”

Yes, it’s monstrous that the CNN crew did nothing to stop this. But pay attention to what the father said. He had no choice since the Taliban takeover.

Joe Biden, this is your fault. You horrendous coward. You are a terrible excuse for a human being.

CNN Brings a Knife to a Gunfight

They double down on their attacks on Joe Rogan. Oops.

CNN Mocks Joe Rogan After False Claims About Him: ‘Only Thing’ We ‘Did Wrong’ Is ‘Bruise’ His ‘Ego’ | The Daily Wire

From CNN:

The heart of this debate has been purposely confused and ultimately lost. It’s never been about livestock versus human dosage of Ivermectin. The issue is that a powerful voice in the media, who by example and through his platform, sowed doubt in the proven and approved science of vaccines while promoting the use of an unproven treatment for covid-19 — a drug developed to ward off parasites in farm animals. The only thing CNN did wrong here was bruise the ego of a popular podcaster who pushed dangerous conspiracy theories and risked the lives of millions of people in doing so.

Let’s go to the tape:

• CNN host Erin Burnett on 09/01: “Controversial podcast host Joe Rogan, who’s railed against vaccine requirements, says he has COVID and took a drug intended for livestock.”
• CNN host Anderson Cooper on 09/01: “One of those drugs he mentioned, ivermectin, is something more often used to deworm horses.”
• CNN reporter Brian Stelter on 09/01: “When you have a horse deworming medication that’s discouraged by the government that actually causes some people in this crazy environment we’re in to actually want to try it. That’s the upside down where we’re in with figures like Joe Rogan.”
• CNN host Don Lemon on 09/01: “The United States is now averaging 160,455 new COVID-19 cases every day, including controversial podcast host Joe Rogan saying that he tested positive for COVID and that he says he is taking several medications including a drug meant for deworming livestock.”
• CNN commentator Bakari Sellers on 09/03: “I think the unfortunate part about all of this is you have individuals like Joe Rogan, for example, who don’t want to take an experimental vaccine but will take horse dewormer.”
• CNN anchor Jim Acosta on 09/04: “In case you missed it, Rogan said ivermectin. Yes, that’s the deworming medicine made to kill parasites in farm animals and, weirdly, is being promoted by right-wing media figures and even some politicians as a COVID treatment.”

Hmm. Evidence seems tilted heavily in favor of Rogan.

Even WaPo agrees. Sad CNN.

Washington Post media critic Erik Wemple said that CNN’s statement sounded “more like the work of an advocacy group than a journalism outfit.”

“The ‘issue,’ actually, begins and ends with the integrity of CNN’s content,” Wemple added. “If we take Rogan’s prescription claim at face value — and CNN hasn’t challenged it — then the network’s coverage was slanted in some cases and straight-up incorrect in others.”

Parents Demanding School Officials Do Their Job ‘Not How Things Work In A Democracy’: CNN Guest | The Daily Wire

Lemon introduced the topic after a Virginia gubernatorial debate in which Democratic candidate and former governor Terry McAuliffe said, “I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.” Lemon accused McAuliffe’s Republican challenger, Glenn Youngkin, of “seizing on” the topic and “stoking a culture war over what kids are being taught in schools.”

Vindman agreed that the assertion that public schools are teaching Critical Race Theory is “nonsense,” although Lemon’s program previously featured a public high school teacher who teaches CRT to her students in Philadelphia. She, too, insisted that public schools do not teach CRT.

Norman Rockwell based his famous painting, “Freedom of Speech,” on Jim Edgerton, a real-life citizen of his hometown who spoke out in a public meeting against one of the town’s educational proposals.

This guy is a domestic terrorist now.

People speaking up to defend their families and their communities is precisely what democracy is all about.

But not very well.

CNN's Effort to Clean up the Gupta Train Wreck Interview Proves Joe Rogan's Point – RedState

No, it really is a lie, because you’re deliberately misinforming your viewers, and deliberately giving the impression that he took medicine that is not for humans. That’s just not the case. The creators got a Nobel Prize for Medicine for this. It’s been used by literally billions of people worldwide for the China virus and other viral infections. It treats the symptoms. It’s not a cure.

But that’s the problem with CNN in a nutshell, and it’s the point that Rogan was making. They don’t care about the truth; it’s all about narrative.

 

 

 

Joe Rogan Rips CNN a New One

Joe Rogan Grills CNN’s Sanjay Gupta: Does It Bother You ‘That Your News Network Lies?’ | The Daily Wire

Watch the video.

Give credit to Gupta. He came on Rogan’s show and he had to know he was going to be attacked. He sat there and took it, and even agreed that his network did not cover themselves with glory for telling people that he was taking “horse de-wormer” for his China virus infection.

Here’s  small excerpt, and probably not even the best one.

ROGAN: No, no, no. You have, before we get to that, does it bother you that the news network you work for out and out lied? Just outright lied about me taking horse dewormer.

GUPTA: They shouldn’t have said that.

ROGAN: Why did they do that?

GUPTA: I don’t know.

ROGAN: You didn’t ask? You’re the medical guy over there.

GUPTA: I didn’t ask. I should’ve asked before [inaudible]–

ROGAN: But they did it with such glee–

GUPTA: No, no.

ROGAN: Yes they did. I watched.

Gupta can’t defend it. He knows it’s wrong, but can’t quite bite the hand that feeds him. Still, he’s obviously uncomfortable, and he should be. His employer lied. That’s bad for any employer, but his employer is a new organization. if they feel like they can lie about something like this, what else might they be tempted to lie to us about?

How can anyone trust CNN?

Answer? You shouldn’t. You’re being foolish if you do.
