So....I guess CNN [View all]

ran a long interview with Kevin McCarthy this morning in which he was treated as the de facto speaker and given free reign. Apparently, he was allowed to lie without being challenged at all. It got so bad that when it was over Don Lemon openly criticized the journalist doing the interview (Melanie Zanona). He tried to do the fact checking himself. His two cohosts just sat there.

I read about this on twitter. Did anyone see it? I have stopped watching CNN.

I'm not at all "negative," rather I'm a proponent of reality-based liberal politics Just A Box Of Rain Nov 2022 #17

Oh, okay debm55 Nov 2022 #18

Not a sufficient answer for you? Just A Box Of Rain Nov 2022 #19

Seems rather dismissive after you falsely accused me of being "negative." Just A Box Of Rain Nov 2022 #21
