CNN is experiencing a catastrophic week in the world of journalism. Their credibility is eroding faster than quicksand, thanks to their latest blunders. It’s always entertaining to watch as they trip over their own feet, and this week, it’s been a veritable cascade of incompetence, driven by a laughable narrative around the recent Iran mission. Once again, they’ve proven they will champion any story that casts shadows on President Trump’s successes, even when truth demands otherwise.
The media’s inability to grapple with reality hit a new low with Natasha Bertrand at the helm, peddling a flimsy tale based on unreliable sources about classified Pentagon details. Despite on-the-record refutations by numerous credible figures and international agencies, CNN brazenly backed her shaky journalism. It’s a textbook example of the media’s penchant for peddling fiction over fact, riling up the nation without remorse.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, driven to frustration by these persistent media follies, delivered a powerful slap-down to the press corps. He took them to task for their relentless campaign against the DoD’s intentions and their disappointing collusion with internal forces. It’s high time someone like Hegseth reminded the press they’re not above reproach when they willingly act as mouthpieces for Pentagon insiders with personal agendas.
CNN’s response has been nothing short of a circus—and not a fun one. Their scramble to defend Bertrand only highlights the network’s desperation. When a news outlet needs to release statements to bolster their reporter’s shaky claims, it’s a clear indicator of a sinking ship in troubled waters. And Stelter’s laughable attempt to wrap himself in the flag of patriotism, defending Bertrand’s folly, defies the very essence of unbiased journalism the media touts as their mantra.
While Jake Tapper spouts lofty ideals about the duty of the press to present facts, his own network avoids challenging narratives when it’s inconvenient. Tapper, along with others at CNN, seems content making noise about their so-called obligation, while ignoring their failure to hold the current administration accountable with the same fervor they displayed during the previous one. Are ethics to be sacrificed for agenda? In the CNN newsroom, it seems so. With each falter, CNN cements its role not as watchdog but as a partisan pawn in the grand spectacle of American media.
