This… is CNN… the Most Trusted Name in News™. Yeah, no. This is actually an objective analysis by your not-so-humble conservative political pundit of a CNN “analysis” of the bitter divisiveness gripping America on this, our 246th Independence Day, and those the dumpster fire “news” outlet blames for the strife.
CNN, unsurprisingly, makes an argument against itself.
In a self-proclaimed “analysis” published on Sunday titled Americans are divided on what the US stands for this Fourth of July, CNN White House reporter Stephen Collinson’s disingenuous — at best — warped take on the divisiveness in America and why “a fractious partisan age is undeniably penetrating everyone’s lives” is not only laughable; Collinson’s “analysis” is guilty of the very “sins” he attaches to “the usual suspects.”
Let’s shred it, shall we? It is objective, no doubt.
Collinson kicks off his partisan fairy tale by exploiting Abraham Lincoln and his famous quote: “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” Then this “observation,” as transcribed from CNN:
In the years ahead, there will be more disarray in America. The unity for which President Joe Biden pleaded in his inaugural address seems more elusive than ever.
Reality: President “A Time to Heal” set about purposely dividing America on day one of his presidency by signing a flurry of executive orders shoved in front of him by his left-wing handlers, including killing the Keystone XL Pipeline Project, sending thousands of laborers to the unemployment lines.
Biden’s out-of-control open border policy, which continues unabated, and the ongoing release of illegal aliens throughout the interior of the country — more than 1 million since he took office — has strained Border Patrol resources, overrun border towns, and worse. The “discombobulation,” Mr. Collinson, lies directly at the feet of this president.
“Shockingly,” Collinson then moves to Nancy Pelosi’s Jan. 6 Committee, a complete nothingburger with toilet-dwelling ratings that ratings suggest have changed zero people’s minds about the silly Capitol riot — and Donald Trump.
US democracy is still fighting for its survival, as the House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol reveals ever more frightening details of Donald Trump’s attempt to steal the 2020 election.
The ex-President is, meanwhile, impatient to launch a 2024 campaign rooted in his election fraud lies that would highlight his increasingly autocratic tendencies.
While my views on Donald Trump’s claims of a “rigged” and “stolen” election are well known, how laughable is it that sanctimonious Democrats whine incessantly about TrumpYet another attempt to steal elections They are guilty of promulgating “stolen election” lies, foremost the bogus “Russian collusion” hoax of 2016, engineered by none other than Hillary Clinton?
Trump is Trump. The attempted theft of the election trophy was taken by CNN and the Democrat Party.
Next in Collinson’s fairy tale “analysis,” his “objective journalist” analysis of the Supreme Court’s overturn of Roe V. Wade is enough to make one’s patriotic skin crawl:
Another example of political disruption is the removal by an activist Supreme Court of millions of women’s constitutional rights to abortion. The Supreme Court was protected behind metal barriers in Washington, and its marbled Washington chambers.
This decision confirms half a century of campaigning by conservative activists. Many of them have moral objections to abortion and they associate it with murdering an unborn baby.
“Startling political disruption.” Caused, exactly, by who, Mr. Collinson?
SCOTUS acts as an impartial judiciary and is therefore intended and necessary to rule on the constitutionality and lawfulness of all actions and laws made by elected officials and actions by citizens. Sometimes, SCOTUS will also arbitrate past actions, like Roe.
Just to put it simply, Mr. Collinson got SCOTUS RoeIn 1973, this was a mistake. Nearly 50 years later, SCOTUS has corrected the error. Health-related decisions have been returned where they belong. Abortion was not intended to be protected under the Constitution.
And notice how this “journalist” refers to Conservative activistsIt is not, in fact. Extreme left-wing activistsPeople who are threatening to assassinate Supreme Court judges, to burn faith-based crise pregnancy centers and to take to the streets to protest on-demand abortions (murders) for unborn children, up to and including the time of their birth.
“Given the political discord boiling way beneath the surface of Monday’s national celebrations,” Collinson continued, “it’s hardly surprising that a staggering 85% of US adults in an Associated Press-NORC poll released last week said things in the country are headed in the wrong direction.”
End the tape.
Correct. The strong majority of Americans do believe the country is heading in the wrong direction. Collinson, who are they to blame? President “Unity,” Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr.
It continued. Here are a few “highlights”:
The war in Ukraine is making food bills more expensive and spiked gasoline to record prices.
Wrong. While there is war in Ukraine, Has hadAnd Continues to be an impact on the economies around the world, gas prices have been steadily climbing throughout the Biden presidency — well before Russia’s February 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
Gun crime in cities is recalling a more violent past and every Monday brings a grim accounting of the weekend’s mass shootings.
And how do Democrats and liberal media outlets like CNN and MNSBC react to the violent “gun” crime?
By exploiting the hell out of “mass” shootings, histrionically wailing about “assault rifles” and other such made-up “weapons of war,” and immediately calling for more restrictive gun laws that curtail the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding gun owners. Yet, where are the Democrats and their media sock puppets on the deadly weekends on Chicago’s bloody South Side, or every other major city in America? Crickets. Why? Because those killings don’t support the left’s narrative about “evil” “assault weapons” nonsense.
Finally, the most ridiculous line in the “analysis”:
The shadow of Trump’s violent coup attempt hangs over the country.
Although Jan. 6 was absurd, it wasn’t a. A coup violent.
A flurry of restrictions on voting in many conservative-led states and the GOP’s refusal to renew voting rights legislation harken back to a poisoned era of racial repression.
Nonsense. VOTER ID laws are not “racial repression” any more than a bank requiring a photo ID to cash a check. Never forget: Democrats don’t want to make it easier to vote;They want it to be easier cheat.
Collinson, to be honest, was surprised by the following:
Liberals who once dreamed of a new Franklin Roosevelt are dissatisfied with the results of their narrow monopoly on political power in Biden’s Washington. Their radicalism risks alienating voters in the critical middle, which should be available for grabs as the GOP moves right.
With the obvious exception of “as the GOP dives to right,” Collinson was correct. Biden’s handlers and the entire Democrat Party made a critical strategic error in the aftermath of the 2020 election, wrongly interpreting the results as a left-wing MandatoryThey quickly used this excuse to change America radically.
Regardless of whether one believes the 2020 election was legit — or not — the only “mandate” delivered by voters was mostly “It ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Sure Democrats hated Trump with a passion — they still do and always will — but the status quo was preferable to radical change.
Collinson’s “analysis” drags on forever, which I eventually tired of reading, but I’ll leave you with one more of his observations.
Almost every day, there’s a controversy or political fight that underscores the antagonism between more moderate, diverse and socially tolerant American cities and suburbs and the conservatism of rural America.
“More moderate, diverse, and socially tolerant American cities.” A complete crock of crap. How long has the Democrat Party preached “diversity,” “tolerance,” and “inclusion” to us? But it’s precisely this The left that remains — increasingly violent — in opposition to true diversityIs. intolerantViews and hell InclusionIt is a useful tool. Exclude and destroyThose who reject its radicalism.
I’m “sorry,” Mr. Collinson, but your “analysis” is a joke.
