Leftists have lost it, collectively complaining that CNN has laughably turned into a right-wing propaganda network and the hashtag #BoycottCNN is trending on Twitter because of it.
The hilarious allegation comes as CNN Chairman and CEO Chris Licht is cleaning house at the network, clearing out deadwood like Brian Stelter who is one of a number of politically partisan hacks responsible for its abysmal ratings.
Jon Cooper, former National Finance Chair of Draft Biden, tweeted, “I decided to #BoycottCNN as soon as the network began its shift to the right. It was a tough decision, since I’ve been a devout @CNN viewer since I was in my 20s. If I wanted to watch right-wing propaganda, I’d watch Fox. So for now, it’s ONLY @MSNBC for me.”
Former CNN staffer Kristen Browde also weighed in, blasting CNN, “As an original staffer at CNN, I’m asking all of my former colleagues to express their serious concern with the new editorial direction the network is taking. It’s horrifying to thing the #BoycottCNN folks have a point. Remember when Ted and Reese said ‘The News is the star’?”

Considering the leftist network still employs such liberal icons as Jake Tapper and Don Lemon, “horrifying” seems to be a bit of a stretch here. Both are being accused of pushing the “MAGA” agenda which is just rolling on the floor funny.
“Watching @jaketapper @donlemon and other’s who are pushing the maga agenda has become unbearable. They NEVER give President Biden credit for his accomplishments and lie about his poll numbers. They have NO shame, NO honor. They are out for ratings and that’s it. #BoycottCNN,” another clueless leftist wailed.

Suddenly, Tapper and Lemon have become persona non-grata on the left. Go figure.
“#BoycottCNN as they are now an extension of Fox News. They are part of the Trump/GOP/PUTIN propaganda machine. A boycott is necessary to stop their fascist tactics. Join in on the boycott to help deny CNN ad revenue,” another commenter railed using the ever-popular term “fascist.”
That was after one woke liberal really tore into the two CNN hosts, “Don Lemon asked Karine Jean-Pierre if Biden was ‘mentally fit’ to run for office in 2024. Dana Bash invites pro-rape MAGAs on to bulldoze Russian disinformation & election lies. And Jake Tapper promotes Jared Kushner & Dr Oz to his millions of Twitter followers. CNN is Fox News.”

One proclaimed “rabid anti-fascist” tweeted, “CNN Boss Chris Licht Is apologizing to Republican law makers and wants to have them on CNN. This will make CNN complicit in our descent into fascism. ‘Even-handedness’ normalizes bigotry, hatred, intolerance, violence and Cristo-fascism. Boycott CNN. Watch MSNBC.”

Conservatives find the trend baffling and highly amusing.
“Is the sky falling, end of times??? Boycott CNN is trending, by the left. Definitely didn’t have that on my bingo card,” one conservative quipped.

It would seem up is down and down is up these days on the left. There’s always MSNBC for them to turn to, at least for now.
