Quote:We’ve been talking about Joe Biden’s evident cognitive issues for some time now.

But surprisingly, suddenly, so now is CNN. I wrote earlier this week about Biden’s confusion and lies about providing test kits for Americans.

Biden kept confusing “pills” and test kits. He spoke about wishing he’d thought of increasing testing kits for people “two months ago,” “before COVID hit here,” saying “COVID” rather than Omicron. As we noted, Biden had thought of upping testing kits before. He’d promised them in March and in September. He just didn’t act on that promise.

He also was given a plan to provide 732 million test kits to Americans to deal with the anticipated surge in desire for them for the holidays. Biden rejected the plan. Now, he’s saying he never thought of any of that, and no one could have anticipated the need. Can we talk about how bizarre and sketchy it is that Biden doesn’t seem to know what he’s doing from one minute to the next and/or he can’t keep up with his lies?

While CNN didn’t pick up on every aspect of the issue, Jeff Zeleny certainly called out Biden’s confusion and chastised him for not taking any responsibility for the lack of testing. Zeleny pointed out just with Omicron, Biden had already had more than a month to address the question.

“Repeatedly throughout this interview with David Muir, President Biden seems confused and was confusing the half a billion tests that they’ve ordered with a half a billion pills,” Zeleny said. “Of course, pills were in the news today with the Pfizer approval of the anti-viral, so he corrected himself, but that was one thing that stuck out to me.”

Zeleny also points out that the promise for tests in January may be illusory as well. “There is no sense, from this administration, [tests] will be sent out early in January as the president suggested,” Zeleny explained.

The media has seemed personally ticked off over the testing issue, perhaps because it’s finally hitting home even for them — they aren’t able to get tests and so they’re on even footing with everyone else.

That wasn’t all.

CNN also acknowledged during the week that Biden’s economic approval numbers were worse than those of Jimmy Carter, showing how he was lower than anyone in recent history in net approval on the issue. What was driving it was Americans who were very concerned about inflation and Biden’s failure to address it.

If you listen to this conversation between John Berman and Harry Enten, it is just brutally honest when it comes to what Americans think about Joe Biden.

So, what’s the reason for this sudden honesty coming now? I’d like to think we’re seeing a change, but I wouldn’t bet on it. But, it is something to see that they are officially acknowledging he has a confusion issue and that they’re honest when it comes to how unhappy Americans are with him right now on the economy.

We’ll have to see if this occurs more. Are we approaching the point where they no longer feel the need to protect Biden because someone/something else is going to be promoted instead? We’ll have to see how things unspool, but it’s not boding well for Biden.

This... Is CNN: 'Fake News' Network Falls to Embarrassing 17th Overall in Basic Cable Networks

Quote:The Most Trusted Name in News. The official slogan of The Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness,” as hilarious as it is in reference to WaPo, ain’t got nothin’ on CNN’s ROFL ridiculous claim.

I mean, just think about it: (erstwhile) Chris Cuomo. Don Lemon. Jim Acosta. Brian Stelter. Alisyn Camerota. Jake Tapper. Anderson Cooper. Fareed Zakaria. The list goes on; the bench is deep.

Yet, with all that “special” talent, CNN bottomed out bigly in 2021.

How far has the network that revolutionized round-the-clock news coverage when launched on June 1, 1980, fallen? For the week of December 6, CNN averaged just 585,000 total viewers in primetime, sending the hood ornament of “fake news” down to a pathetic 17th place among all basic cable networks.

Worse, CNN’s 120,000 viewers in the key primetime demographic were only good enough for a disastrous 31st place among cable stations. Yet? The song remains the same at The Most Trusted Name in News.

I’m no cable news executive but I am a staunch adherent of a few basic truths of life. Principle among them in this case, when you’re in a hole, stop digging, and, if you’re banging your head against the wall and it hurts? Stop banging your head against the wall.

Yet. CNN, in all of its lapdog liberal media “brilliance,” continues to double-down — digging faster and banging its “fake news” head against that wall even harder. Smugly and arrogantly so. This... is CNN.

So what happened?

2020 was a yuuge year for cable news. The COVID pandemic, which CNN incessantly hyped and milked the ever-loving hell out of. Donald Trump, whom Stage 4 TDS-riddled CNN obsessed over, 24-x7. And “all of the above” capped by Trump’s refusal to accept the results of the election. Then came January 6 and it was nirvana for CNN. The bottom line: Jeff Zucker’s network could not have handcrafted a better “CNN year.”

Then what happened? One word: Biden.

The disastrous Biden presidency — shamelessly and embarrassingly defended by CNN — and all things associated with it has been largely responsible for CNN’s precipitous fall. Toss in “highlights” like Jeffrey Toobin’s “moment of pleasure” during a Zoom meeting, the arrogant disaster named Chris Cuomo, hapless Don Lemon and a host of others, and a couple of sex scandals, and CNN’s ship headed to the bottom.

Yahoo summed it up thusly:

Despite starting the year as the most-watched cable news network, CNN finished 2021 with only one program in the top-25 of cable news options: the network’s 9 p.m. ET slot that had, until recently, been anchored by Chris Cuomo.

John Malone, chairman of Liberty Media, which owns SiriusXM, and a leading shareholder of Discovery Inc., which earlier this year announced a merger with CNN’s parent company WarnerMedia, recently contrasted CNN with Fox News, as transcribed by Yahoo.

“Fox News, in my opinion, has followed an interesting trajectory of trying to have news, I mean some actual journalism, embedded in a program schedule of all opinions. And I think they’ve been relatively successful with a service like Bret Baier, and Brit Hume before him, that try to distinguish news from opinion.”

And CNN?

I would like to see CNN evolve back to the kind of journalism that it started with, and actually have journalists, which would be unique and refreshing… I do believe good journalism could have a role in this future portfolio that Discovery-TimeWarner’s going to represent.

While Malone was right, there is no way CNN could produce “good journalism” with its current cast of leftist misfits. “Sadly,” Stelter, Acosta, Lemon, & Co. would need to be shown the door. But alas, what on earth would we do without CNN to kick around? (MSNBC was unavailable for comment.)

Incidentally, after Chis Wallace announced he was leaving Fox News and “shockingly” abruptly hooked up with CNN, The Babylon Bee — the best satire site in the history of the universe — broke some “news” of its own about Wallace’s jump to CNN.

Via The Bee:

ATLANTA, GA—Desperate to recoup their viewers lost since the end of the 2020 election, CNN has hired news anchor Chris Wallace from Fox News. Experts have estimated that a move this big could actually double their audience to a grand total of 4 people.

“Look, now that the election is over, airports no longer air CNN, and all of our other anchors are getting fired—we gotta do something to save our ratings,” said Gale Kaegel, a spokesperson for CNN. “So that’s why we’ll take anyone right now, even Chris Wallace.”

[…]

Not everyone has been as optimistic about his hiring, though. Brian Stelter has reportedly lost both of his viewers to Chris Wallace and has yet to congratulate his new coworker. Stelter was unavailable for comment but could be distinctly heard crying inside his dressing room.

Meanwhile, we’ll continue to enjoy and take advantage of CNN’s efforts to provide content to RedState and other conservative sites on a daily basis. Heck, we might even miss ’em after that final swirl down the toilet.

but muh poles in July are gonna fk with your brain once again…

CNN Called out Biden's 'Confusion,' Now More Media Is Piling On

Quote:Is the liberal MSM starting to talk about Joe Biden’s issues including his coherence and confusion problems?

It seems like they might finally have started approaching the topic, although certainly not calling out everything, as we might.

As we noted over the weekend, in a surprising move for CNN, they were honest and reported on his “confusion” when he was talking about test kits with ABC’s David Muir. He repeatedly called test kits “pills,” then corrected himself and then called them “pills” again even after correcting himself. In a remarkably honest report, CNN took notice of it and pointed out how even the current pledge that the Biden administration made to provide test kits to Americans wouldn’t produce any action until sometime in the future and perhaps was illusory.

“Repeatedly throughout this interview with David Muir, President Biden seems confused and was confusing the half a billion tests that they’ve ordered with a half a billion pills,” Zeleny said. “Of course, pills were in the news today with the Pfizer approval of the anti-viral, so he corrected himself, but that was one thing that stuck out to me.”

Zeleny also points out that the promise for tests in January may be illusory, as well. “There is no sense, from this administration, [tests] will be sent out early in January as the president suggested,” Zeleny explained.

They also ripped him with a brutal comparison to Jimmy Carter’s economic approval numbers, saying that his numbers were now worse than those of Carter.

However, it wasn’t just CNN. Terry Moran of ABC went there, as well, although he used a description not in common use to describe Biden. It sure does fit.

“One of the challenges that Biden has had as president is he seems to a lot of people to be an enervated executive, ” Moran said. “It is partly his age, it’s partly that he hasn’t seized hold of a lot of the issues that people are most concerned about. He’s obviously behind the eight-ball on testing and COVID. And I think people are eager for more energy in the executive and more youth as well.”

Merriam-Webster defines “enervated” as “lacking physical, mental, or moral vigor.” The Oxford Lexico Dictionary defines it as “drained of energy or vitality.” Both are perfect descriptions of Joe Biden. It isn’t just that he’s confused and frequently incoherent, he lacks any energy to approach any of the issues currently bedeviling him. That’s why he has not just been confused about testing, but why he’s said a lot about it, promised tests but then did nothing. Even now, after the media yelled at him on the subject and forced him to say something, any action is weeks off. There’s a complete lack of energy to get things done. It’s just about superficially saying whatever he thinks will go over well to get him through the moment. It’s why everything he approaches from Afghanistan to Build Back Better goes down in flames. He had months to get people out of Afghanistan, we were calling him out since May to do so, but he didn’t. He’s a placeholder to hold the Democrats’ power and it comes across that way, to anyone honestly looking at this administration. As I noted previously, it’s not the Biden Administration, it’s the “Bystander Administration” where things just happen around Joe but none of the bad things are ever his fault.

Biden could have literally gone into office and done nothing and he would have been a hero, instead he poured gasoline on every single fire he had.....

Finally - people are opening their eyes.

Biden is a front man only. Those calling the shots hide behind a curtain of relative anonymity, so they aren’t quite as concerned with the Biden disaster.

Another thought……..if they already have the big cheat in play, why worry about disastrous poll numbers, whomever they put up will win in the middle of the night just like 2020…….

The networks are being told to start dumping on Biden because your right, what’s coming next after he is removed from office will be 10x worse.

Hmmmm...... I personally believe Biden thinks the WH is his retirement home with the Delaware getaway his escape from reality.

There's a reason the MSM is still living in Jan 2021.

Terry - quick question - Why on earth would you choose the word "enervated"?

A: You would like to sound smart using a word rarely if ever uttered by regular folks?
B: You would like to soften your criticism by using a word that is rarely if ever uttered so regular folks don't really know what you mean?
C: You straight out want to confuse people with a word that is rarely if ever uttered that sounds positive but isn't?
