CNN Anchor Won’t Book Trump Spokespeople
CNN’s Jake Tapper said he won’t interview certain pro-Donald Trump people because they’ve established themselves as liars for the president with “no value” being aired on TV, Mediaite reports.
Said Tapper: “Well, there are some people that are so mendacious, I just wouldn’t put them on air. Kayleigh McEnany, I never booked her. Jason Miller from the Trump campaign, I would never book him. These are just people who tell lies the way that most people breathe. There was no value in that.”

There Is No Vaccine for Ignorance
Max Boot: “The good news is that roughly two-thirds of the country inhabits the land of facts, where information comes from mainstream media. The bad news is that at least one-third live in a la-la-land of ‘alternative facts’ and ‘fake news,’ where the most trusted sources of information are Fox News and Facebook — or, heaven help us, Newsmax and OAN. There is plenty of irrationality on the left, to be sure, but it now appears much more prevalent on the political right, where so many deny both climate change and the coming change of administrations.”
“There is a vast, unbridgeable chasm that separates the brilliant scientists who came up with the coronavirus vaccines and the ignoramuses who believe that the coronavirus was engineered by Bill Gates to profit from vaccinations, or that it was created as a bioweapon by China, or that it is spread by 5G cell towers, or that it doesn’t actually exist, or that its dangers are vastly exaggerated, or that masks are either useless or harmful in stopping its spread. This pandemic of misinformation helps explain why the United States is among the countries with the highest covid death rates in the world despite having the most sophisticated medical sector.”
“Now these two nations are on another collision course because of the resistance to taking the coronavirus vaccine.”

Trump Mulls Doing Reality TV Again
As he begins his final weeks in office, President Trump “has mentioned to confidants that he’s thinking about resurrecting The Apprentice or The Celebrity Apprentice reality TV show,” the Daily Beast reports.

Where the Myth of a Trump Win Lives On
“President Trump’s media criticism is usually binary — there are ‘good stories,’ favorable to him, and then the other category,” the New York Times reports.
“Most news coverage on Monday fell into that other category. One by one, presidential electors in all 50 states and the District of Columbia formally recognized Joseph R. Biden Jr. as the president-elect, the latest and most significant rejection so far of Mr. Trump’s desperate attempts to undo the will of the voters.”
“But inside the sprawling and self-reinforcing network of websites, podcasts and video news that has fed some of the most reckless and unrealistic claims about the election, the myth of Mr. Trump’s political survival endures.”
Washington Post: Newsmax and One America grapple uneasily with Biden’s electoral college victory.

Said Lindell: “This fraud is real. It’s of epic proportions that this election was stolen.”
He added: “They were going for everything. They were going to take everything we had. Why do you think Fox declared Arizona with only 14% of the vote in? They already knew what they did! They were in on it!”
Biden and Harris Share ‘Person of the Year’

CNN Getting Higher Ratings Than Fox News
After years of dominance in cable ratings by Fox News, CNN in the past few weeks has pulled ahead consistently for the first time since 9/11, the AP reports.
Axios: “President Trump’s election loss has upended America’s news landscape, cementing a parallel universe on the right where even Fox News isn’t Trumpy enough for millions of his diehards.”
“The coming diffusion of news across many easily-accessible streaming channels will likely cause Americans to become even further entrenched in their own, partisan filter bubbles. This could lead to the most profound change in news consumption that America has seen in decades.”
