CNN host got shown the door after just one disastrous show torpedoed her career

Published

CNN is in perpetual free fall.

The network has not recovered after going all-in on being the Orange Man Bad channel.

And a CNN host got shown the door after one disastrous show.

CNN This Morning turned out to be an utter disaster for the network.

Before the plug was pulled on the show, it averaged 322,000 total viewers, far behind MSNBC’s Morning Joe with 988,000, and Fox News’ Fox & Friends at 1.07 million.

Show implosion

First, Don Lemon was fired from the network after several embarrassing on-air moments. 

And then, Kaitlan Collins was able to wrangle a primetime show.

Now Poppy Harlow, the third co-host of CNN This Morning, is no longer at the network.

She wrote in a farewell letter, “I got to experience what makes this country great. I sat with people in their best moments and in their hardest. They taught me about the human condition and what binds us. Whether it was covering the impact of the financial crisis from Wall Street to Detroit, or spending time with young women in jail in East Tennessee or on Rikers Island, or listening to grieving parents who lost their children to the opioid crisis in Ohio, or the repeated heartbreak of mass shootings, it is the human side of the story that has always moved me, motivated me, and made me appreciate this work so much.”

Harlow worked at CNN from 2008 to 2024, so she saw the network shift from left-of-center to completely Trump-deranged in record speed.

New CNN boss Mark Thompson said in a statement to Vanity Fair, “Poppy is a unique talent who combines formidable reporting and interviewing prowess with a human touch that audiences have always responded to. . .She’s been a wonderful colleague at CNN, and we know she will have much success in her future endeavors.”

Life after CNN

Harlow said that for now, her “plan is to walk our children to school and pick them up (hopefully they won’t get sick of me!), and to support the evolution of journalism in every way I can, while preserving the human(ity) in it.”

It will be interesting to see if Harlow can land any traction as an independent media personality.

Her departure isn’t just another name on the growing list of CNN This Morning hosts to be shown the door.

She joins a long list of other media personalities mixing up their career paths in recent years. 

Thus far, not many corporate journalists have been able to successfully make the switch.

Lemon’s Twitter show has been an utter embarrassment thus far. 

It’s still recovering from an epic failure to launch after Elon Musk was his first guest.

And Keith Olbermann remains completely unhinged after sinking his career at three different networks: CNN, ESPN, and MSNBC. 

Olbermann has been reduced to meltdowns on X and being easily triggered by conservative personalities on the platform.

Democrat-controlled rag had the most unhinged reaction to Biden’s crushing defeat against Trump in the debate

The Democrat Party is in utter disarray.

Joe Biden melted on live television in front of the entire world.

And one Democrat-controlled rag had the most unhinged reaction to Biden’s crushing defeat against Trump in the debate.

Democrats have reached DEFCON 1 in the 2024 presidential campaign.

Joe Biden’s debate performance against Donald Trump was far worse than anyone could have imagined.

Even Republicans expected Biden to come out the gate fired up and quickly fade.

But Biden had absolutely nothing from the start.

Left-wing media outlets have been all over the map.

Some are trying to sugarcoat the performance and put lipstick on a pig.

Others are calling for Biden to leave the race and make room for a younger challenger who can at least string two sentences together.

Democrats are hoping Trump will bail them out

However, The Philadelphia Inquirer might have had the most outrageous take of all.

The Editorial Board wrote a piece titled, “To serve his country, Donald Trump should leave the race. . .Biden had a horrible night Thursday. But the debate about the debate is misplaced. The only person who should withdraw from the race is Trump.”

The paper wants Trump to drop out of the race when he’s clearly ahead.

Why?

Because he’s threatening democracy, and cue all the other lame talking points, too.

The piece began, “President Joe Biden’s debate performance was a disaster. His disjointed responses and dazed look sparked calls for him to drop out of the presidential race. But lost in the hand wringing was Donald Trump’s usual bombastic litany of lies, hyperbole, bigotry, ignorance, and fear mongering. His performance demonstrated once again that he is a danger to democracy and unfit for office.”

“Democracy” on the line

When Democrats say “democracy,” they simply mean things that they like.

For example, when Biden tried to use OSHA to federally mandate COVID vaccines for private businesses, that was “democratic” because Democrats liked forced vaccination.

The Inquirer continued, “In fact, the debate about the debate is misplaced. The only person who should withdraw from the race is Trump. Trump, 78, has been on the political stage for eight years marked by chaos, corruption, and incivility. Why go back to that?”

Outside elite Democrat circles, people actually liked Trump’s Presidency.

Gas was cheap, prices were stable, immigration was lower, and America did not start a new war.

Trump has the easiest pitch in the world.

He can just ask people if they were better off before COVID or right now.

The Inquirer added that “Trump told more than 30 lies during the debate to go with the more than 30,000 mistruths told during his four years as president. He dodged the CNN moderators’ questions, took no responsibility for his actions, and blamed others, mainly Biden, for everything that is wrong in the world.”

Of course, the rag gave Biden a pass on all of the ridiculous lies he told during the debate, the worst one being that no U.S. troops died on his watch.

The families of the 13 servicemembers killed during the withdrawal from Afghanistan would beg to differ.

The Left resorted to one desperate tactic to sell Bidenomics on Americans

Published

By

Full-blown panic has set in for the Democrats.

Joe Biden looks like the weakest incumbent president ever, both literally and figuratively.

And the Left resorted to one desperate tactic to sell Bidenomics on Americans.

Joe Biden is getting hammered on the economy.

Polls show that Americans trust Donald Trump more on the economy by 20 points.

That hasn’t stopped Democrats and their media allies from chastising everyday citizens for not understanding the brilliance of Biden’s economy.

The experts are at it again

In the Democrats’ latest attempt to get Americans on board with Bidenomics, they promoted a letter signed by 16 Nobel Prize-winning economists stating that Trump’s economic policies would be worse for the country.

Of course, the economists were all left-wingers who, like dutiful Keynesians, believe that good economic policy is endless government spending.

The letter was tinged with “progressive” politics.

For example, the economists wrote, “While each of us has different views on the particulars of various economic policies, we all agree that Joe Biden’s economic agenda is vastly superior to Donald Trump’s. In his first four years as President, Joe Biden signed into law major investments in the U.S. economy, including in infrastructure, domestic manufacturing, and climate. Together, these investments are likely to increase productivity and economic growth while lowering long-term inflationary pressures and facilitating the clean energy transition.”

Anyone promoting “clean energy transition” as a good economic policy should be viewed with skepticism.

Automakers are currently scaling back their electric vehicle production because the market does not exist.

The obsession with “green” energy is not a sound economic policy; it is a top-down initiative without a robust market.

Other than tariffs, the economists did not mention anything specific about Trump’s plan that would harbor such hand-wringing.

Don’t trust your lyin’ eyes, trust the experts

The letter continued, “Many Americans are concerned about inflation, which has come down remarkably fast. There is rightly a worry that Donald Trump will reignite this inflation with his fiscally irresponsible budgets.”

First, the rate of inflation has come down, but prices have not.

Inflation is still above the target rate of 2%, and the price increases are already baked in.

Biden’s strategy for combating inflation has been to spend even more money, which will only contribute to more inflation down the road, and bring in a flood of illegal aliens to stunt wage increases.

It should also be noted that target rates of inflation in and of themselves are ridiculous, but this is the debt-based system that has been handed down since the creation of the Federal Reserve.

It’s also interesting that the economists dinged Trump for “fiscally irresponsible budgets,” but what they meant is anyone’s guess.

Are the budgets irresponsible because they’re too big—which has never been a problem for Keynesians — too little, or too big in areas Democrats do not like.

One notable omission from the letter was Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman, who writes a column for The New York Times.

Krugman has been wrong so many times for so long that his inclusion on the list likely would’ve exposed it for the partisan hackery that it was.

CNN’s Jim Acosta pulled the plug on one interview after getting schooled on this hot-button issue

Democrat-controlled media outlets have to lie to their viewers.

That’s why they tightly guard the information that goes out to the masses.

And CNN’s Jim Acosta pulled the plug on one interview after getting schooled on this hot-button issue.

Democrats are terrified about the November election after Joe Biden’s horrifying debate performance.

After the nation saw Biden’s clear cognitive decline, running on “Orange Man Bad” just isn’t going to cut it anymore.

Expect a hard pivot toward abortion

Democrats will likely run on fear-mongering about abortion.

But Democrats have become an extremist party on the issue; former DNC Chair Tom Perez declared that pro-lifers no longer had a place in the party.

CNN host Jim Acosta brought on pro-life advocate Kristan Hawkins to discuss the abortion pill Mifepristone, and things did not go well for him.

The Supreme Court recently ruled that ER doctors in Idaho can perform abortions in narrow medical cases, which drew cheers from the Left.

Acosta asked Hawkins, “What’s your reaction to this decision?”

She did not give the response he wanted.

Hawkins answered, “Well, I think President Trump and the GOP needs to take note. The Biden administration continues to make the case to weaponize federal agencies to make abortion a federal issue. But we also see a silver lining in this decision today. If Idaho, while this is tragic—saying Idaho must allow for abortions to prevent infertility, future infertility, the FDA must now change its policy too to do the same. Given their no-test online distribution scheme of chemical abortion pills, which we know harm women’s future fertility, as 15 percent of women of our population are Rh negative, and there is no testing now because of the Biden administration and their FDA on these dangerous chemical abortion pills that she’s having these pill abortions. She’s not being tested for Rh negative status—”

“Haven’t the experts said that Mifepristone is safe for women to use?” Acosta interjected.

“Safe and effective”

Big Pharma reps likely had a heart attack when Hawkins said what she did.

She replied, “Ask any woman who’s Rh negative.”

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists explained, “The Rh factor is a protein that can be found on the surface of red blood cells. If your blood cells have this protein, you are Rh positive. If your blood cells do not have this protein, you are Rh negative. The ‘positive’ or ‘negative’ part of your blood type, such as O positive or A negative, refers to your Rh status. During pregnancy, problems can occur if you are Rh negative and your fetus is Rh positive.”

If a woman is Rh negative and the fetus is Rh positive, her antibodies will attack the fetus, and it could result in a miscarriage.

“But haven’t the experts said—” Acosta shot back.

Yes, the omnipresent medical “experts” that have destroyed their credibility over the past four years.

Hawkins continued, “Ask someone who’s been pregnant, sir. When you’re pregnant, one of the first things they do is they test for Rh negative status. Because if you have a miscarriage, if you give birth—”

Acosta cut her off, then began talking over her.

He quickly ended the segment by saying, “I’m sorry, Mifepristone has been proven to be safe. It’s been that way for years. But thank you for coming on. We appreciate it.”

“No, it actually hasn’t—” Hawkins got in before Acosta went to commercial.

Democrats do not want anything disrupting their abortion industry.
