The Democratic National Convention and CNN are akin to two peas in a pod.
Although their roles should be separate – a political party and the fourth estate are only hand in hand in state-controlled media landscapes – the two share one thing in common: a passionate hatred of Donald Trump. This isn’t saying much, as nearly the entity of the media behaves like this – and has served as the Democratic Party’s PR wing for decades.
Nevertheless, in its duty to appear impartial, CNN ran a fact-check on the Democrats’ claims over Project 2025. Often associated with the Republican nominee, Project 2025, according to Democrats, is Trump’s plans for office should he win the election in November.

After three days of playing on voters’ concerns over the policy document, CNN destroyed the DNC’s main argument in a single, 30-second segment. The network aired a clip of Delaware Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester in which she claimed Trump “wrote” Project 2025.
However, CNN – to their full credit – rebuked the claim saying it was “false”.
“Trump did not write Project 2025,” said broadcaster Daniel Dale. “The project’s big policy document, published by the Heritage Foundation thinktank, lists dozens of people as authors, editors, contributors; Donald Trump is not among them.”
Many on social media were stunned by the apparent change of heart by CNN. Of course, we shouldn’t be fooled – as this kind of reporting from them is something we only see once in a blue moon. After all, they only managed to spend 30 seconds on this rebuttal.
Dale laughably claimed elsewhere that the Democratic National Convention speeches had “very few falsehoods or misleading statements.” But as Newsweek’s Paul du Quenoy pointed out, solely of Biden’s speech:
“At times, Biden’s mendacity veered into economic policy. Evil billionaires, he menaced, are only paying 8.2 percent of their income in taxes, a debunked calculation identified as “way too low” even by PBS and the Left-leaning Brookings Institution, which both place the figure above 20 percent. Biden’s 8.2 percent figure, a biased product of his administration’s own economists, derives from partial federal income tax calculations rather than the less politically expedient actual figures. It also doesn’t register that over 40 percent of American households pay no income tax at all, or the fact that in actual numbers, the top 1 percent pays over 45 percent of all taxes paid in the U.S.
Trade relations, too, fell victim to the addled president’s dishonesty when he boasted of job creation in relation to exports. The unavoidable mathematical fact, however, is that the $901 billion trade deficit of 2020 ballooned to over $1 trillion in Biden’s first year in office and has never gone below that figure since. “Bidenomics,” or “Kamalanonics,” as it now being called, has made America poorer, especially in the post-industrial Midwestern swing states that are certain to decide the election in November.”
And that’s just one topic of one speech… To check out the rest of this story, visit WokeSpy.
