Media Wars


Swalwell said, “There’s a cost of corruption that’s associated with everything Donald Trump has done. He tried to corrupt the election and have people violently attacked the Capitol on January 6. The cost that we’re living with now is this culture of corruption, where if you are in the Trump circle, if you pay him enough, or if you do one of these drug deals as law firms and entertainment companies and university presidents have done, then you reap all the benefits and honest, hardworking people get left out.”

He continued, “And so that’s really where I would take this, narrative, is that he’s brought, you know, corruption to our politics. And he has done it by tearing down the rule of law. But the biggest betrayal that Donald Trump has put upon us since taking office, this most recent term, is not letting 1600 violent individuals back into the communities. That’s bad. It’s that he promised the first thing he would do on day one was lower costs. He didn’t lower costs. He put those violent individuals back into our communities. And not only did he break a promise to lower costs and politicians break promises. He went in the opposite direction. He put tariffs in place, and he has increased costs.”

He added, “So whether it’s the cost of corruption or the betrayal by increasing costs, he’s let us down every single day since he let those violent insurrectionists into our community.”

Follow up question if they had an ounce of integrity:

What about all the violent protesters the democratic party has helped bail out and return to our communities?
 
Throughout last year, CNNLOL managed to attract an average of only 580,000 total primetime viewers and 105,000 average viewers in the 25-54 age group that sets advertiser rates — and let’s face it, without trial attorneys and Big Pharma, CNN would be lucky to have any advertisers at all.

The news was no better for CNN in total day viewers, where CNN averaged just 436,000 total viewers and 71,000 demo viewers.

In every 2025 metric compared to the previous year, CNNLOL was down-down-down.

Average 2025 Primetime Viewers / Demo Viewers

  • Fox News: 2.72M (+14) / 287,000 (+18)
  • MS NOW: 923,000 (-25) / 81,000 (-39)
  • CNNLOL: 580,000 (-15) / 105,000 (-29)
 

CNN Political Commentator and Republican strategist Brian Todd then cut in to respond, “Here’s a question: Did we pay enough attention, did we at this network pay enough attention to whether Tim Walz was rooting out enough fraud in the Medicaid program?”

Phillip responded, “Hey, listen, we wrote about it when Tim Walz was running for vice president.”

Todd then cut in to ask, “Did we shine a big enough light on it? Did other networks shine a big enough light on it?”

Phillip got interrupted before she could answer Todd, but later added, “I think you can also acknowledge, first of all, these allegations were there when Tim Walz was running for [vice] president. Republicans were running campaigns against him and…did not make this a top-priority issue when they were running against Tim Walz last year. So, that’s on you.”
