Having rejoiced at Fox shutting down Tucker Carlson — which vaporized Fox’s audience — the media had ice cold water thrown on its face on Wednesday night when CNN broke the moratorium on giving President Trump live coverage. Axios reported, “CNN's controversial town hall with former President Donald Trump drew 3.3 million viewers Wednesday night, making CNN the most-watched cable news network of the evening, according to final ratings from Nielsen.”

When I first heard then name " Kaitlan Collins" I had never heard of her. I also thought "Who did she piss off at CNN to get handed such an assignment?" To me, Ms. Collins is set for life. Yes, Mr. Trump destroyed her as he would anyone who tried, but CNN had to do SOMETHING to pull their ratings out of the toilet and. for the moment, they did.
As I did in 2016 and 2020, I will proudly support Mr. Trump in 2024 and here is my dream ticket: Donald Trump. For VP Kari Lake and for press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany. The liberal media would cease to exist.
..and all they while, Elon just handed the ball off to some cookie whose last posting was the chairman of some committee at WTF. Sorry the WEF.
Red States, stop screwing around and get your engines started! The ‘Real’ President is not going to be allowed to win in 2024 one way or another and we can’t allow ourselves to be caught flat footed again.
The sad devolution of mainstream American journalism into nothing more than continuous carpet bombing of the population with neo-Marxist propaganda and fabricated lies about innocent people who are politically “deplorable” has been one of the most destructive aspects of our civic decline. Anything that makes these worms squirm is fine by me. You gotta love Trump for his cojones and unflappable resolve in the face of these rabid cretins. Like the rest of our ersatz aristocracy, they’re just hypocrites slumming for a paycheck. If you watch CNN at this point without an ironic perspective , you’re definitely not playing with a full deck.
I am so tired of MSM calling lies on everything President Trump says but giving no facts to back it up. They are sociopathic socialists. Kaitlan Collins got what she tried to give. Too bad she’ll be rewarded by her socialist owners with a prime time gig.
Fox needed the event and ceded it to CNN. All it did was fortify Trump; G-d I miss him and his economic plans based on cheap fossil fuel energy which was used as economic leverage to tame our enemies.
I always am comforted by true stories; this is the true Trump and don't forget it:
This is all part of the game plan to make Mr. Trump the nominee and then steal the election in 24 with Democratic shenanigans. While I think Trump would be the nominee anyway, and he probably would win in a fair election against a brain, dead quahog of Joe Biden, CNN it’s just taking orders from their boss at the DNC.
Cable news is dangling over the precipice. People increasingly ignore them and tune them out as many inherently assume the opposite of their narrative is truth. Tucker Carlson singularly outperforming all of them together from Twitter is an indication the new platforms (that are free of corporate Big Tech control) will play a crucial role going forward. CNN accepted the easy layup over its prime time competitors, but its corporate leaders will rein them in. The most encouraging development is people finally see Fox News as part of the same gaggle. It’s what the swamp wants Republican learners to see. As cable companies see unreasonable carrier fees, their business models will shift to accommodate the cord cutters. All of them have seen their streaming offerings fail miserably (as Tucker so accurately derided FoxNation). Cable news will only be relevant to those well over 60 after the 2024 cycle.
What they were upset about was that Trump was allowed to discuss realities with which they are totally unfamiliar, such as the fact that during his Presidency we as a country were energy independent, that there was <2% inflation, that people were employed, the economy was working, and the border secure. They cannot discuss the policy issues because they have no policy ideas of their own that would work and they are paid to support those with policy ideas that destroy the country, so they harp on the fact that he believes the 2020 election was rigged. Those in the media who are crying are being paid to say the election was not rigged. When asked if he would state tonight, that he would accept the results of the next election, Trump said (I am paraphrasing), "Yes if it is a fair election and not rigged." The media people just don't have good answers to his honesty, because they are paid to be liars. When you are being paid to lie to people every day, don't you just hate it when someone comes along and speaks the truth openly and freely, and isn't afraid of your opinion of him?
"CNN invited Donald Trump to lie on its airwaves for over an hour on Wednesday night." So the audience just heard a different set of lies from the ones they normally do. Not sure I see the problem, other than people like Anderson Cooper hate competition.
"CNN is a major American cable news outlet whose viewers trust that they are being given accurate reporting of events to the best of the network’s ability." No, CNN's viewers trust that they won't be exposed to any ideas or even facts that don't reinforce their twisted worldview.
"Apparently to Ali whiteness is evil." And there is what this is all about. How dare those "white" people get above themselves and worry about inflation and failing banks and foreign wars instead of the "oppression" of Barack Obama and Van Jones and Wajahat Ali.
I'm wondering aloud here, but I wonder if it would even be possible to have a 'team' of Press Secretaries? I'd be fascinated to see all 3 of these (guys and gal) in a rotation so that the 'press corps' never knew who they would be facing.
Anything and EVERYTHING to gain a tactical advantage over leftists is what our non-leftist side should do.
Ironic. The media keeps showing us over and over their bias against Trump but with no proof of anything, in this case, his so-called lies. They learn nothing from life.

The left is really upset because CNN allowed Trump to highlight his differences with Biden and have a LIVE audience to respond.
Another absolutely superb column. Thank you, Don Surber. And love the picture of the angry little girl at the top.
MAGA!!
Wipeout is my favorite song to sing on Karaoke night.

I love the gif by the way. That was perfect.

The two yearold giving the skunk eye too ,was inspired. About as fearsome as a Chihuahua . Like the opinion of Anderson. Cooper.
