CNN is the worst of the worst when it comes to fake news in mainstream media. They’re worse than MSNBC, which is exceedingly bad. They’re worse than the networks who at least attempt to work in some balanced reporting every now and then. They’re even worse than Washington Post and NY Times, both of which allow a semblance of conservative perspectives on their pages. Not much, but some.
For years, conservatives have been declaring the facts about CNN. Yet, we’re constantly rebuked by leftists who feel the bias is warranted because their candidates, policies, and goals are promoted on the network. But a primary contest brings a different level of bias to some. We’ve seen it with MSNBC completely ignoring candidates they don’t like, namely Andrew Yang and Tulsi Gabbard. We’ve seen it with the wonder twins of print media, WaPo and NYT, who slyly try to tip the scale towards moderates. But CNN takes the cake with their level of manipulation. They may not have selected a winner to support, though some believe Joe Biden is their favorite. But they’ve certainly selected a loser: Bernie Sanders.
At the Democratic debate last night, moderator Abby Phillips demonstrated the most biased questioning technique ever used in a presidential debate. She first acknowledged that Sanders denied saying a woman could not beat President Trump. Then she turned to Elizabeth Warren and asked her how she reacted when Sanders said it to her, completely dismissing the possibility that it wasn’t said and essentially calling Sanders a liar. As Bonchie at RedState noted, the moderator inserted herself into the equation to essentially become the story.
The real story tonight wasn’t any of the answers given, but the conduct of the moderators in regards to Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. We all knew a clash was coming after Warren’s campaign seeded a story to CNN which accused Sanders of telling her a woman couldn’t win the presidency. Sanders has vehemently denied saying that, and to this point, it seems like Warren is the one lying in this scenario.
This slap fight came up at the debate and Sanders once again denied having said it, but it was the moderator’s response that left people asking “what the heck did I just watch?”
CNN: “Sen. Sanders, I do want to be clear here, you’re saying that you never told senator Warren that a woman could not win the election?"
SANDERS: "That is correct."

Was this a case of an activist journalist picking favorites. That’s possible, but it seems more likely based on the fact that CNN reported the story in the first place that this is part of a concerted and widespread effort by the network to take Sanders down. One might counter that the network likely wasn’t involved in the questions. That would be the most ludicrous assumption one could make. It’s been made clear by multiple points of contact at CNN that Sanders has a vendetta against him from the network, which some are speculating may be on orders from the DNC.

Several hashtags rose quickly on Twitter trashing both Warren and CNN, ranging from #CNNisTrash to #CNNisFakeNews. The funny part is, these hashtags or similar ones have been posted before… by Trump supporters. It’s a rare moment of outrage from a large group of progressives against the left’s second favorite (out of two) progressive news channel. Supporters of Sanders have proven to be powerful on social media, which is why along with the CNN attacks, Warren has been the subject of negative hashtags as well.
Ya'll loved CNN when they bashed Trump, pushed wild conspiracy theories and race hoaxes involving MAGA hats. Now they turn on you and all of a sudden, they're trash ?

Bernie just crushed this ludicrous allegation but everyone just pretended he said it anyway. Moderators are covering for Warren’s lies. https://t.co/ABkjtC4GSW

This debate was an alternative universe crafted by the ruling class to derail Sanders. I hope there are enough people to see through this baloney.
That his “friend” Liz Warren would play a role in this manipulative scenario is deeply disturbing. pic.twitter.com/z002F3BYK9

You should be annoyed with @CNN who set this up. Warren is lying to try to get women voters from the debated candidates. But CNN presented it like it was fact. Disgraceful. #DemDebate https://t.co/gArxrCp4D9

Bernie: I have never said that a woman cannot be Presidentand here is the evidence.
CNN: Senator Warren how did you respond when Bernie said a woman cannot be President?

Each and every question was phrased from a conservative perspective.
And the cherry on top of was this zinger which treated Sanders as a liar to his face:

CNN, likely on behalf of the DNC, is trying to subvert Bernie Sanders’ nomination. As conservatives, we have no horse in this race, but it’s ironic to see our political adversaries coming to a conclusion we made years ago. Yes, #CNNisTrash.
American Conservative Movement
As we prepare for the 2020 election, we are joining with fellow patriots to form a grassroots movement to advance the cause of conservatism. We will focus on two priorities until election day: Stopping Democrats from winning elections and promoting strong conservative candidates wherever they are viable. After the election, we will shift to focusing on educating America about the tenets of conservatism. We currently have 7500+ patriots with us in a very short time. If you are interested, please join us to receive updates.

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
