Getting roasted over Smollet. Apparently he gave the perp a heads up the cops were investigating him.

Lemon pretty much defines the term "light weight". Cuomo actually had some brains and talent.
The Sopranos in Italy episode ( Commandetori ) was one of the funniest of the whole series.
Lefty Cuomo blames cancel culture for his resignation. It is the lefties that invented cancel culture. The irony of it.
"During his speech, Cuomo used the phrase cancel culture over a dozen times but did not go into specifics of the sexual assault allegations brought against him, the Times reported. He said his conduct was misconstrued because of shifting generational norms, a claim he's previously made."

All this shows is that news isn't very popular.
JRE, Tucker Carlson Tonight, and the Five aren't News and they are the top 3.
I just saw this, and your comment shows nothing but ignorance. None of the shows listed here are news shows. They are all opinion. CNN actually has journalists that broadcast a centrist viewpoint. Fox....does not. The fact that Tucker's lawyers had to come out and say he isn't a journalist is telling.
As much has you might hate CNN for partisan reasons, they reality is they cover stories on Democrats and the GOP in the same way. If a Dem does something bad, they will cover it with the same force and insight as if a GOP person did it. It might seem like they covered more GOP shenanigans recently...but there is a reason for that, and I think you know what it is. CNN makes mistakes. EVERY news sources makes mistakes. Sometimes is because they misunderstood documents, or a source gave an inaccurate account and it wasn't discovered until it was too late. Sometimes a journalist makes shit up. This is very rare, because stories are vetted and fact checked. In a breaking news situation, the pressure to be first leads to false information being relayed (i.e. on 9/11, there were reports of multiple car bombs going off in Washington, which never happened). Reputable sources publish corrections and make apologies.
Fox and other right-wing propaganda services do not do this. They will gaslight or try to spin any negative story for a GOP member, while also ginning up anything that could be harmful to a Dem. I mean, just look at that nothing burger Durham report last month. They went all hot and heavy on trying to tar Hillary, but the second she mentioned it as malicious, they backed the fuck off. That is very telling. I mean, if they had a legitimate story, they would have legal coverage. But the rubes who follow that channel never notice. They've already jumped onto something else to feed the outrage engine. Will it be Minnie Mouse wearing pants? Transgender teens? Mask mandates? The US Trucker Convoy or immigrant caravans? Just weapons grade bullshit. They have no ethics and incredibly low journalistic standards.
The scary thing is that 3-4 million Americans get their news this way, and likely don't understand that its opinion, not fact. They don't recognize that Tucker or Ingraham place fast and loose with reality. These opinion folks parrot talking points fed to them by the GOP, or they attempt to wag the dog with the party. The end results is you have thousands of people believing Trump won, that Obama is a hidden muslim, that Trump is smart, or that anything Hunter Biden did or does is relevant to what Joe is doing.
Now, I don't know how you got infected with this silliness. Maybe you were convinced by the right-wing media (RWM) outrage machine. Here's how it works. The RWM finds some small story that really is a non-issue, but they start to cover it like it was Watergate. They then start to imply that mainstream media (MSM) is ignoring it, and that you can't trust it. MSM gets caught up in this bullshit, and feels like they need to devote a few stories to it to make it seem like they are still centrist and covering all sides of the story. But, that just fuels more coverage, so small shit blows up to be a multi-day/week news cycle. Oddly enough, you never see this happening with the MSM affecting the RWM. Why? Because the RWM doesn't give a fuck. They just want to promote the GOP and its candidates, and help spin or defend any negative action.
The firing of Zucker, his girlfriend proved that wrong. They were directly in on the Cuomo Brothers use of CNN as propaganda to sell him as a savior during covid. To sell his books, and to deflect from the nursing home deaths. They were all advising him politically. Chris shouted that out as the rat tossed off the ship.
Soon though most if that overpaid talent is going to be fired. Zucker protected them.
Compare and contrast how that situation was made public and resulted in the firing of two major figures at the network. Then look at how Fox did fuck all when Hannity and Ingraham appeared on stage for pro-Trump rallies, or how Hannity admits to giving advice and counsel to Trump. Was Hannity disciplined for that? It's amazing to me how you say CNN is propaganda while ignoring the more serious and more frequent issues at Fox.
I mean, it doesn't have to be whataboutism, but fuck dude, you just don't see it, do you? I don't recall you getting bent out of shape about that, or calling them propagandists? Heck, I'm pretty sure you probably believe they give you the unvarnished truth....sad....
CNN publicly stated Zucker was fired due to his having a relationship with his subordinate. That was the reason given. It came out later that Chris Cuomo in trying to get the full 12 million of his contract he threatened to out Zucker as well. As the new management was looking to clean house Zucker was let go as well saving them money and problems.
But they didn't admit the real reason. Until it was leaked.
As to Fox, I don't watch, don't read, nor do I consider it a news source. Your problem is you continue to take a side. Both are shit. CNN is directly involved with the war machine since the original Gulf War. They traded access for biased coverage. Put CIA agents on the payroll as pundits. And are now proven to have directly helped a sitting governor in damage control.
Fox is shit, CNN is shit, MSNBC is shit. That is the truth.
I do watch CNN and I do think that most media outlets generally have a liberal bias.
It were the liberal lefties who created cancel culture. The most disturbing aspect of cancel culture is the onus placed on the falsely accused to prove his/her innocence of the false charges. In all or almost all civilized societies, the onus is on the accuser to prove the accused guilty.
Isn't it ironical that lefty Cuomo blamed lefty cancel culture for his resignation? Karma is a bitch.

So let's hear your opinion on Hannity and Ingraham appearing at trump rallies and Hannity giving advice etc. You don't have to watch Fox to know that they were partisan.
If you have strong opinions on the goings on at CNN, then there's no reason for you to be mum on Hannity/Ingraham.
Sure, they are propaganda idiots working directly for the GOP and in no way should be taken seriously as a news source. They have sold their souls for cash and access.
Now, lets see if you have the guts to state thate CNN and Jeff Zucker directly used biased coverage repeatedly to help cover up the Cuomo Family scandals and assist their Democrats based power base in NY. And repeatedly in their coverage side with the Democratic Party.
And Fox has no problem with that? And you have no problem that Fox has no problem? But you have big problems with the way CNN runs things.
Cuomo went full propaganda for his brother. With full approval of the management. It was right out of the FOX news playbook.
As what Butler said, I have no doubt that Hannity and Ingraham are partisan hacks...but lefties are always in denial and consider CNN reports as gospel...you know CNN is as shitty as Fox, they mirror each other but of course you will deny this.
