Top Biden official unable to spin her way out of contradiction exposed by CNN host on classified docs scandal

by Leave a Comment

What happened on CNN?

After White House communications director Kate Bedingfield claimed the White House has been “transparent from the onset,” Blackwell had just one question: How can you be transparent if you aren’t forthcoming with basic details?

“You are claiming transparency, but I am bringing this to you, you aren’t bringing it to me,” he said. “This happened in mid-November. If you are, indeed, being transparent, why the continued trickle of disclosure around these classified documents?”

Unfortunately, Bedingfield completely ignored the question. Instead, she emphasized Biden’s cooperation with the Justice Department.

“We have released multiple statements from the White House, and President Biden’s personal attorney has released multiple statements over the last month, walking through the process and agreeing to be fully, fully cooperative with the Justice Department,” she responded. “This is a process that plays out.

“We have been clear from the outset that the president will cooperate with every request the Justice Department has and we put out multiple statements describing that process,” she added.

What about the search?

According to CBS News, the FBI searched Biden’s private office, the one he used before becoming president, sometime in “mid-November” after the initial Nov. 2 discovery.

It’s not clear what the FBI found — if agents found additional classified documents — and it’s not clear which exact day the FBI conducted its search, whether it was before or after the Nov. 8 midterm election.

The refusal to disclose the search is odd. When the Justice Department searched Biden’s private residence in Wilmington, Delaware, last month, the search was announced the next day. Moreover, Biden’s personal attorney announced Wednesday that the FBI was searching Biden’s vacation home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, the same day of the search.

The refusal to disclose basic timeline facts has led to widespread speculation of non-negligent malfeasance.

Donald Trump Shreds ‘Fake News Media’ in Series of Videos: ‘Not Reporting with Credibility Has Its Consequences’

by Leave a Comment

Former President Donald Trump shredded the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, and MSNBC as “fake news media” in a series of videos shared to his Truth Social account and his campaign’s war room Twitter account on Wednesday.

“The fake news media like CNN, MSDNC – which is sometimes referred to as MSNBC –the Washington Compost – which is sometimes referred to as the Washington Post – and the failing New York Times are doing really, really badly and closing up shop all over the place,” said Trump in one of his videos.

He added:

CNN is shuttering its longtime headquarters building and the money-losing Washington Post is being peddled all over to see whether or not somebody wants to buy it. In the meantime they’re firing massive numbers of people. Not reporting with credibility has its consequences. The future of the fake news looks bleak and that’s a positive thing, but beware the Marxists and communists, which are well represented in our government. Many of them got there by fake news, so we have to stop it.

On December 1, CNN laid off hundreds of employees, and earlier this month, it was reported that the network was closing down its long-time headquarters, CNN Center, in Atlanta, and heading to another property in the city owned by its parent company, Warner Brothers Discovery. CNBC noted that the layoffs ahead of Christmas were “part of a broader effort at Warner Bros. Discovery… to cut costs heading into 2023.” Similarly, the Atlanta Journal-Consitution noted that Warner Brothers Discovery, in 2021, sold the headquarters “for nearly $164 million as a cost-saving move.”

“It’s very simple; no ratings equal no money,” said Trump in another video. “They got no money because they have no ratings. That’s what fake news gets you. People are wise to it.”

Last week, the Washington Post announced it was making cuts of its own. The newspaper “laid off 20 of its newsroom staffers and discontinued its gaming section and KidsPost, their news and features section aimed at children,” as Breitbart News reported.  The layoffs and content cuts come as reports have surfaced indicating the Post‘s billionaire owner, Jeff Bezos, is allegedly looking to sell the publication.

“If they’d cover the news fairly, accurately, with a passion for our country, this wouldn’t be happening to the Washington Post,” Trump stated in another video released Tuesday. “People don’t want fake news.”

In a separate clip, the 45th president blasted the establishment and mainstream media in general for the narrative that he is “not campaigning very hard.”

“I say they are stupid and corrupt because the election’s a long ways away, almost two years,” said Trump.

“But do not fear, many giant rallies and other events are coming up very soon,” added Trump. “It will all be wild and exciting, and we’re going to bring our country back.”

He assured supporters that they will  “be the biggest part of ” saving “our country from doom.”

Nolte: Flailing CNN Adds Bill Maher Segment to Friday Nights

by Leave a Comment

CNN, a far-left propaganda outlet that spreads conspiracy theories and political violence, is adding a Bill Maher segment to its failing Friday night lineup.

Already, the discredited national joke we call CNN is suffering its worst ratings in nearly a decade. This is because newly-installed CNN chief Chris Licht thinks he can save CNN by retaining the same anchors that forever destroyed the public’s trust.

What to do? What to do?

Apparently, CNN decided it wasn’t left-wing enough already, so why not add leftist Bill Maher to the Friday night lineup.

More of the same!

Genius!

Yep, CNN will now broadcast Maher’s “Overtime” segment from his Friday night HBO show Real Time with Bill Maher. Every week, after the HBO broadcast, Maher keeps his guests around for the “Overtime” segment, which is currently available online.

Sure, sometimes Maher colors outside the leftist lines. But beyond that, why does CNN think an HBO show that attracts only 800,000 viewers will improve its catastrophic ratings? Like CNN, Maher is part of the elite, leftist bubble.

HBO has nearly 40 million U.S. subscribers, and fewer than a million watch Real Time. I’m sure that number picks up over the course of the week as people catch up, but that doesn’t change my overall point. Bill Maher is not a mainstream success. Instead, he’s an elitist serving a small niche. Sure, that niche is a little bigger than CNN’s niche, but this is no way to boost ratings.

What’s more, CNN is grabbing sloppy seconds off HBO’s YouTube channel.

How sad is that?

All me to lay out the crisis CNN is dealing with right now: stopping the bleeding. Never in a million years did Licht imagine things could get worse than when he took over. There’s no doubt in my mind everyone at CNN thought, We got an 800,000 viewer base of support that will never leave us and all we have to do is build on that.

Well, now that base is fleeing. CNN’s primetime viewership is now under 500,000.

Maher is smarter and more interesting than the dimwitted Jimmys. However, he’s still a man of the left, still attractive only to a niche audience, and anyone who wants to watch Maher already subscribes to HBO.

And what’s going to happen when Maher says something honest and truthful? What’s CNN going to do if he questions the China Flu vaccine or the Ukraine War or some other left-wing sacred cow? How will Maher feel when fascist lightweights  like Don Lemon, John Berman, and Jake Tapper start accusing him of spreading “misinformation?”

If CNN were truly interested in ratings, the failing network would have gone to Greg Gutfeld and offered him whatever he wanted to move to CNN, including editorial freedom. Instead, on a nightly basis, Gutfeld not only beats all the late-night simps like Colbert and the Jimmys, but he also attracts twice as many viewers as Maher. Gutfeld does this every single weeknight.

Never did I believe CNN would sink this low in the ratings.

God really does love us.
