Newsroom came out before my dad was brainwashed by Entertainment "News." I wonder how he would feel about the show today.

Class, integrity, and a dogged approach to journalism, Kaitlan Collins will always be a long deep thorn in Trump's side. Keep up the pressure, Baby! 25-47 & FDT!

And yet you still haven’t corrected that Charlie Kirk was murdered by an ultra-rightwing groyper, NOT a liberal. And the fact that Congresswoman Giffords was shot in the head by a lunatic rightwinger after Republican politicians like Sarah Palin put a LITERAL target on her face in their campaign ads, is COMPLETELY downplayed. Instead, CNN has let the rightwing flip the narrative to somehow everything being leftwing violence, when in FACT political violence is OVERWHELMINGLY rightwing. Including by Proud Boys who’ve joined ICE Stasi just so they can beat up more people.

She's intelligent and she speaks well. In terms of integrity and rigor if Fox News is a 3 on a 1-10 scale, CNN and Kaitlin are 4-5. That's mass media in America – it is there to make you feel smart, excite your passions, and sell you stuff.. CNN puts out plenty of "misinformation" if it fits the narrative their viewers like. The level of praise and delusion in these comments is funny.

"misinformation spreads like wildfire" LOL – OK sure. The level of self-delusion is remarkable.

This is everything wrong with USA "News." No time to gather facts yet the talking heads continue speaking on their opinions due to some boss pushing the anchor to make a statement for views and opinions.

Complete respect for this woman. You can tell she means what she says about Murrow… she has so clearly worked to make that the gold standard for her own professional legacy. Collins and Amanpour are at the top of my list for icons of this generation's journalistic integrity.

If CNN follows CBS circling down the toilet, I hope she lands someplace worthy of her.

The fact that Newsroom only had 13 episodes because Aaron Sorkin wanted to do a Mark Zuckerberg biopic is just one more reason why I hate him and Facebook.

I mean, if Bombshell would have really been accurate, they would have known that its : "Eagles". There is no "The".
@YesItsReallyKeith
August 19, 2026 at 6:33 am
What is insane about this video, is the fact that Kaitlan has mentioned the words "mass shootings" multiple times… as if her brain is wired that it's a thing to be expected to happen often !!!
