It wasn’t that long ago that CNN was falsely trying to tell you that Joe Rogan was treating his COVID-19 sickness with horse de-wormer and now a host on the same network is complaining that the right is somehow in the wrong for not believing the media.
They did this after a segment advocating for the fact that mainstream media shouldn’t discriminate against right-leaning journalists.
To give you some background, the drama started when Florida Governor Ron DeSantis appeared on Fox News and told Maria Bartiromo that the corporate media lies its head off that it’s pretty much a given at this point to not believe much of what they say.
This apparently upset the host of CNN’s ironically named “Reliable Sources,” Brian Stelter, who began ringing the alarm bell about the “GOP’s anti-media streak and made it seem as if people should be aghast that a leader of conservatives should be telling conservatives that the biased media controlled by the left lies about conservatives.

DeSantis may be the most authoritative American on media lies. The media has been constantly lying about DeSantis’s whereabouts to America to paint him as incompetent.
Here’s the thing. DeSantis is right. It is wrong to believe any media report on any topic. It’s demonstrated time and again that it’s not a public service as it likes to present itself, but a corporate entity with ideological interests.
NOTE: Media are a business that has a stake in disasters, and not a service.
One of the things that keeps this site in business is debunking the media’s lies about any given event. In fact, sites like NewsBusters are websites specifically dedicated to uncovering the media’s constant falsehoods.
Just to cover our bases, let’s take a look back at some of the lies and biased occurrences as demonstrated by the media, and just to rub our point in, we’ll focus on CNN alone.
CNN was the network that told us the recent Black Lives Matter riots were “largely peaceful” as they literally stood in front of burning cars.
This was the reason they were awarded an award.
Rand Paul recently was vindicated for his opposition to Dr. Anthony Fauci. Paul had been hammering the Democrat’s favorite doc on the connection between the NIH and the Wuhan lab where the COVID-19 virus was created. Fauci of Kentucky denied there was a connection, and CNN was more than happy to defend Fauci.
When Paul proved right, and the NIH confirmed that gain-of-function funding had been granted to research projects, what happened? CNN host Kelley Paul and Rand Paul were allegedly slandering each other.

CNN has a reputation for being anti-American, even going so far as to mock America and support our real enemies. CNN reported that gun crime took place in communist China, a country which is gun-free. CNN was shocked to report that gun crime had occurred in communist China. It then proceeded to highlight how bad America’s gun crime problem is and borderline celebrated the full government rubber-stamping of anti-gun laws from China’s communist party. The same CNN celebrated 100 years under communist control in China.

CNN spent multiple segments on their network pushing the belief that Joe Rogan had been prescribed horse dewormer by a doctor to treat his COVID-19 issues. Rogan had to remind Rogan that the Ivermectin Rogan took was prescribed by doctors and was not meant for animals. However, it was suitable for human consumption. Rogan became so angry that, half-jokingly, he asked CNN if they needed to prove their lies.
But it doesn’t stop there.
Rogan had on CNN’s resident “medical expert” Sanjay Gupta on his show and effectively got Gupta to admit that CNN was spreading falsehoods and misinformation about both him and Ivermectin. After the awkwardness of Gupta having to effectively denounce the actions of his entire network when put on the spot, CNN attempted damage control by having Gupta denounce Ivermectin as meant for livestock when he was back safely in the arms of the “most trusted name in news.”
But let’s circle back to the man himself, Brian Stelter.
Stelter is among the worst liars in CNN. Stelter is the poster child of a left-wing loner. You can browse the articles which either mention Stelter or are directly focused on Stelter here. This site features a smorgasbord BS on any subject.
But let’s focus on his last bit of clear and present bias.
On Monday, RedState covered a moment on Stelter’s program where he gave a full platform to a guest who flat-out advocated for the mainstream media to begin openly being harder on Republicans and conservatives because, as he says, the media treating the right with the same even-handed nature it does the left is only contributing to the right’s extremism.
“I just think an objective and fact-based treatment of the news often means you can’t report something that Republicans are doing without, and suggest that this is indicative of a broad or more general problem in our politics, without being clearer somehow that it is, no, this is peculiar to Republicans, this is the nature of the Republican Party,” Stelter’s guest said.
Stelter appeared to be in total agreement.
Again, these are just CNN’s blunders. MSNBC, CBS, and ABC all have noted moments where they’ve acted in the interests of the Democrat Party or the left in general. CNN is, however, a consistent and flagrant offenders. It even suggests that media should be more critical of Republicans than Democrats.
Is it any wonder that conservatives don’t trust the media?
