CNN’s Kaitlan Collins Bristles When RFK Jr. Tells Her the Truth About the Mainstream Media

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins was not pleased during a Thursday interview she had with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., when he accused the media of being complicit in spreading false information during the COVID pandemic.

“You know, one of the big mistakes that you and many of your media colleagues made during COVID is to try to convince the American people that they should trust the experts,” Kennedy said.

“What we should do is trust the science,” he argued.

Collins countered, “The message was to trust the science, and what studies were finding.”

“No, it was trust the experts,” Kennedy retorted.

True. Who can forget how dismissive people like Dr. Anthony Fauci were of subjects like natural immunity, the lab leak theory, questioning the efficacy of the vaccines to stop the spread of COVID, and raising concerns about the potential health impacts of the vaccine, such as myocarditis?

The mainstream media narrative on all these subjects was to trust Fauci and the other Biden administration health officials, and they were wrong.

Kennedy contended that Americans should also be skeptical about any medical advice and do their own research.

“I would say be skeptical of authority. My father told me that when I was a young kid. People in authority lie. And we’ve seen a lot of that in our country,” RFK Jr. said.

“People in the media lie,” he continued. “And people need to make their own judgments and be skeptical, and maintain their capacity for critical thinking, and that was shut down during COVID, and the media was complicit in that.”

“Disagree on that last part,” Collins shot back and ended the interview.

DHS released its MAHA report Thursday, aimed at making children healthy again.

Just when you thought Team Biden and CNN couldn’t sink any lower… this happens…

They told us Joe Biden had a “childhood stutter.” They told us he was sharp as a tack, lucid, and a fully in-command grandfatherly type. They told us that questioning his mental fitness was “dangerous disinformation” and bullying.

And now, after years of pushing North Korea-style propaganda, the entire corporate media complex is pretending to be shocked – shocked – that Joe Biden can’t form a sentence on his own. They’re replaying clips of him stammering and wandering around a six-foot stage totally lost, like they just woke up from a coma and missed the last six years.

Sorry, CNN, but we remember everything. Right-wing outlets were reporting on Biden’s decline almost daily. This isn’t news. It’s damage control. Legacy media is scrambling to rebuild their reputations after selling their souls to Team Biden and refusing to cover the biggest story in the world: the President of the United States is a lumbering zombie who could barely remember his own name.

Joe’s cognitive issues weren’t random “gaffes” that popped up once in a while. It was a daily train wreck, and the media acted like nothing was wrong. That was their biggest and most shameless fake news stunt to date.

Here are 98 seconds of Biden completely losing his train of thought. And this doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of how embarrassing his time in office has been.

CNN ruthlessly mocked for blurring picket signs of arrested illegal migrants on White House lawn

CNN faced a torrent of ridicule Monday after blurring out signs showing criminal migrants who have been arrested during a White House media event.

The move was slammed by critics as an outrageous attempt to shield the public from the grim reality of illegal immigration.

The signs, featuring the photos and offenses of 100 deported illegal immigrants, were planted along the White House driveway and placed deliberately in the line of TV news cameras to highlight President Donald Trump’s progress on border enforcement during his second term’s first 100 days.

Both CNN along with MSNBC blurred the images of placards.

‘They really don’t want you to miss it,’ CNN anchor Jake Tapper said before launching into a commentary dripping with sarcasm over the signs.

‘They subtly and tastefully decked the White House north lawn with dozens of yard signs featuring photos of people that the Trump administration claims are in the country illegally. 

‘Each poster staying “Arrested” and listing the alleged offense with which they have been charged.

The list of names included illegals arrested for heinous crimes such as rape, murder, the sexual assault of children, and dealing drugs.

CNN’s Abby Phillip Lies About Elon Musk and Social Security, Gets Corrected by Former Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker

During a segment on CNN about the state’s Supreme Court election this week, Abby Phillip straight up lied, claiming that Elon Musk and DOGE were targeting Social Security.

Former Wisconsin governor, Republican Scott Walker, was on the show, and he jumped in to correct her in real time, pointing out that Musk specifically said he was NOT targeting Social Security.

Phillip was basically just parroting false Democrat talking points, as so many people in the media do on a regular basis.

FOX News reports:

CNN host spars with former Wisconsin governor on the claim Musk said he would cut Social Security

CNN’s Abby Phillip and former Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker got into a heated argument over her claim Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk talked about cutting Social Security and Medicaid benefits at a recent town hall event.

During a segment on “CNN NewsNight” Tuesday night, Phillip referenced Musk holding an event in Green Bay, Wisconsin, over the weekend ahead of a closely watched state Supreme Court election. She claimed that at the town hall he “talked about cutting Medicaid and Social Security through DOGE.”

“Actually, he never talked about that. He explicitly said in Green Bay he would not cut Social Security. That’s exactly what he said,” Walker pushed back.

“Well, he talked at his rallies,” Phillip said.

“No, no. Other people said that,” Walker argued. “But I was there. I watched him. He did not say he was going to cut Medicaid.”

Leftists Embrace Bizarre New Trump Talking Point…

There’s a new weird leftist talking point that President Trump is hiding from the media because they’re great at holding him to account… or something.

This despite Trump literally holding press conferences and answering reporters’ questions inside the Oval Office practically every day.

CNN host Kaitlin Collins claimed that Trump is purposefully keeping away the press because the economy is “tanking.”

Literally within minutes of Collins saying this on air, Trump was again taking questions from reporters.

CNN Retracts Fact-Check Over Trump’s Transgender Mice Claim

Following President Donald Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday, CNN attempted to issue a fact-check on his claim of government spending on experimentation with transgender mice; the network was subsequently forced to make a retraction.

As the Daily Caller reports, President Trump revealed during the speech – his first address to Congress as the 47th President – that his administration had uncovered $8.2 million in funding at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to use “gender-affirming” treatments on mice. 

CNN’s Deidre McPhillips tried to claim this was false, and that only about $500,000 was spent on these experiments.

“Trump falsely claimed that the Department of Government Efficiency identified government spending of ‘$8 million for making mice transgender,’” said CNN’s original statement.

The White House responded by issuing a statement confirming that the original amount of $8.2 million was accurate.

“Last night, President Donald J. Trump highlighted many of the egregious examples of waste, fraud and abuse funded by the American taxpayers, including $8 million spent by the Biden Administration ‘for making mice transgender,’” the statement from the White House declared. 

“The Fake News losers at CNN immediately tried to fact check it, but President Trump was right (as usual).”

CNN Embarrasses Itself Yet Again: Trump Was Right About Transgender Mice Studies

CNN went on a fact-checking frenzy after Trump’s Tuesday night speech to a joint session of Congress, but they forgot to do one thing: check the facts. In one of the epic diatribes of the address, the president lambasted the waste in the federal government that has been uncovered by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and pointed out many of the most ridiculous examples—including transgender studies on mice.

Trump:

Just listen to some of the appalling waste we have already identified: $22 billion from HHS to provide free housing and cars for illegal aliens, $45 million for diversity, equity and inclusion scholarships in Burma, $40 million to improve the social and economic inclusion of sedentary migrants. Nobody knows what that is. $8 million to promote LGBTQ+ in the African nation of Lesotho, which nobody has ever heard of, $60 million for indigenous peoples and Afro-Colombian empowerment in Central America. $60 million. $8 million for making mice transgender. [Laughter.]

This is real.

Well, it didn’t take long for CNN to get their knickers in a twist and try to trip up the president, but they failed badly:

CNN’s Deidre McPhillips initially tried to dispute the claim, arguing only about $500,000 had been allocated for similar research in monkeys — she was later forced to issue a correction after the White House proved CNN’s “fact check” inaccurate in a statement.

CNN Vehemently Rejects Joe Rogan-Fueled Conspiracy Theory That CNN Aired Trump Rally Because They Knew He’d Be Shot

CNN vehemently rejected a conspiracy theory that has taken hold on the Right — which suggests that the network somehow had advance knowledge of the attempt on President Donald Trump’s life.

The theory has been making the rounds following Joe Rogan’s podcast with Elon Musk — which was posted on Friday . In a clip from the podcast being widely circulated, Rogan seemed to suggest that because CNN broadcast the rally, it knew about the assassination attempt beforehand.

“You also know that CNN streamed it live, which I do not believe they did for any other rally — and certainly not for a rally in the middle of nowhere in Pennsylvania. Like, there’s a lot of weird shit.”

WOW: CNN Hack Michael Smerconish Melts Down After Getting Schooled by DOGE Dividend Creator James Fishback — Threatens to Cut His Mic and Calls ‘Time’ After Losing Debate

Another day, another embarrassing meltdown from the legacy media.

CNN’s resident fake news peddler, Michael Smerconish, couldn’t handle the cold, hard truth about government waste and taxpayer rip-offs.

During an interview with DOGE Dividend original creator James Fishback, a Trump-aligned entrepreneur and CEO of Azoria, Smerconish fumed and ultimately threatened to cut the mic when his leftist talking points crumbled under the weight of FACTS.

The DOGE Dividend, a bold new initiative supported by President Trump and spearheaded by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), aims to return taxpayer savings back to hardworking Americans.

The plan proposes that 20% of the money saved through cutting government waste would be refunded directly to taxpayers, while another 20% would go toward paying down the national debt. But for some reason, this common-sense approach sent Smerconish into a full-blown meltdown.

Officer, I’d Like to Report the Wreck of Another CNN ‘News’ Host

For the decades I’ve been in the news biz, especially on radio and TV, where sound and pictures are paramount, and a reporter must not be afraid to ask the simple — some might say dumb — questions. A reporter usually gets the best answers by asking the simplest of questions. Follow-up questions are where the reporter gets crucial information and builds out a news story. 

And then there’s CNN host Brianna Keilar.

Keilar remains afflicted with TDS, an offshoot of the woke mind virus that she highlights for her viewers for hours every week. She doesn’t try to hide her biases but instead sallies forth to get a gotcha moment against every GOP person who bothers to go on CNN. Her motives can’t be trusted, of course, because she’s not fair. Her worldview is woke, and everything else emanates from there. In her mind, people to the right of center are Nazis. Her questions begin with that assumption. 

But Trump advisor Stephen Miller may have cracked the code. 

Indeed, every person who’s to the right of center should respond to Keilar’s questions in the same manner as Miller. Instead of sputtering, Miller answered the question in the simplest way, assuming that the woke CNN host really needed the answer to her rudimentary question. 

The net effect was that viewers became witnesses to a clash that left the CNN host wrecked by the time it was all over. Officer, I’d like to report a hit and run of a news anchor. And it was all because she couldn’t get out of her own head to realize that not everyone with an R after their name is a Nazi. 

Keilar’s question was about how that rich African American meanie Elon Musk really has no right to save Americans money and fire people. 

As our colleagues at Townhall put it, “Stephen Miller has to whip out the crayons” to explain that there’s this thing called the Constitution. Blink twice if you understand what that means, Brianna, he seemed to say.
