The truth about CNN just got exposed.
It came from an unlikely source.
And Bill Maher put CNN on the ropes by asking this simple question.
As Liberal Hack Watch reports:
An instructive moment took place when CNN host Kaitlan Collins appeared on Stephen Colbert’s late-night show.
Colbert called CNN a down-the-middle news network at which point the in-studio audience burst out laughing.
The liberals who attend Colbert’s audience figured this was a gag as they know to tune into CNN to get the latest Trump outrage and hear commentators denounce the GOP standard bearer on an hourly basis.
Collins was then on Bill Maher’s “Real Time” show where Maher asked Collins what she thought of audiences laughing at the idea of CNN being a straight news network.
“That tells you a lot, doesn’t it?” Maher asked Collins.
Maher then pressed Collins on how she thought CNN did in terms of producing programming that could appeal to the broad middle of the country.
“How do you think you guys are doing in that arena of, like, this is a terribly divided country — we’re not only politicized, a lot of people just hate the other side, and CNN, in my view, should be the place where both sides can watch. How do you think you’re doing with that?” Maher wondered.
Collins then falsely claimed CNN gave equal weight to both sides of the debate.
“CNN is the place where both sides can watch, and I think my show is evidence of that. We have lawmakers on from both the parties. We’ll have Elizabeth Warren on one night and we’ll have Ted Cruz on another night. I think lawmakers from both parties should take questions, and you should push both of them,” Collins stated.
Maher said that isn’t really the point as the main issue is how the public views CNN and he pointed to the sycophantic coverage of the Democratic National Convention where the coverage resembled North Korean state media.
“I’m talking about the people on CNN and I know what the conservative side of America thinks and I don’t blame them. I watched Kamala’s speech last night. It ended at 8:09 or, I guess, 11:09 in the east. It wasn’t until 11:23 until the one conservative guy, what’s his name?” Maher asked, mentioning CNN’s token Republican, strategist Scott Jennings.
An October 2023 Gallup poll found just 11 percent of Republicans trust the mainstream media.
Anchors like Collins insisting institutions like CNN are neutral when even liberals laugh at the idea is a big reason why.
