Bill Maher on 'Woke' Media: CNN Kaitlan Collins EXPLODES After He Asked This Question!

impress because you were on stepen cber show and he said something like um you guys at CNN just report the news straight and the crowd burst into laughter look I'm on CNN now I guess we're on it right now in today's video we're diving into a heated discussion from Bill Maher show that puts Ken's credibility under the spotlight Caitlyn Collins from Ken defends the Network's approach to balance journalism but not everyone is convinced critics argue that Count's claim to fairness is just a facade with conservative voices like Scott Jennings appearing only occasionally to maintain the illusion of balance this discussion raises broader questions about mainstream media's role in today's polarized landscape with some asserting that the Legacy Media has become irreparably biased and can only be Redeemed by the rise of independent journalism let's break down the debate and explore what it means for the future of news we've got a clip from Bill Maher show that's making the rounds but before we dive into it let's set the stage the clip in question features an interaction between Bill Maher and K kylin Collins discussing a moment from Steven coar show let's check it out I know you guys are objective over there that you just report the news as it is oh I know a CNN makes a I know that's supposed to be a la L it wasn't supposed to be but uh I guess it is Steven colar made a completely unironic statement claiming that Ken is a trusted name in delivering the news news but the audience took it as a joke this moment unsurprisingly went viral across the internet now kitlin Collins is on Bill Maher's show stepping in to defend can's credibility as a network given the context it's hard not to see the absurdity because what we're about to hear can only be described as pure bids press cuz you were on stepen cber show and he said something like um you guys at CNN just report the news stra and the crowd burst into laughter look I'm on CNN now I guess we're on it right now I mean they show this show the next night I don't know how they I don't know how we get away with it with all the but they do uh and all these dirty jokes uh but I'm glad and and I'm a big Rooter for CNN but that tells you a lot doesn't it I mean how how do you guys think you are doing is in that Arena of like this is a terribly divided country we're not only politic ized a lot of people just hate the other side and CNN in my view should be the place where both sides can watch how do you think you're doing with that how is C CNN is the place where both sides can watch and and I think you know my show is evidence of that we have lawmakers on from both parties we'll have Elizabeth Warren on one one night we'll have Ted Cruz on another night I think lawmakers from both parties should take questions and you should push both of them but but on the on CNN being a place of credibility I mean look at what just happened in Chicago we had 300 people from CNN on the ground covering that convention there were several reporters from just our team alone on the floor uh bringing it in real time to people and I think CNN puts resources behind things and just brings a level of news that you don't get anywhere else and and I think CNN does I'm talking about the people on CNN and what I I know what the conservative side of America thinks and I don't blame them I watched CA speech last night and ended at 8:09 I guess 11:09 in the East it wasn't until 11:23 till the conser the one conservative Guy what's his name Scott Jennings this lonely Scott I call him David Urban was there too wait a second wait a second I watched from 809 to 823 they was just gushing about how great a speech it was and I think she did fine I didn't think it was as good as they were making it out to be but if I'm a conservative in America and I'm watching CNN Just For The Straight middle of the road that's what I hear for 15 minutes is it's great and then lonely Scott it does look I mean and when you see the pan it does look like tokenism it's kind of like the same as the view it's like it's almost better to have nobody there like MSNBC then they have this well I don't think you could I don't think you could say I don't think you could say it's better to have nobody there and then also lament the fact that you don't think the conservative guy Scott Jennings who is great and and we have him on on my show all the time spoke up early enough I I think it was a democratic convention they turned to Democrats people like David Axelrod who ran successful presidential Democratic campaigns first for for their analysis of this and I don't think that you can say that that CNN is anything but fair I mean look at that we covered President Biden's exit from the race very closely the pressure on him to get out and I feel like I can speak with authority on this I'm from Alabama I'm from a very red State I have a very conservative family a lot of them who are Trump voters they watch my show every night and and I think they know that they can they can trust me that you know we call on every side not just whatever leaning our our audience may be and and I think that's something that people actually want more of is to hear from that I think Scott's voice is really important but I think other voices are important to hear from and everyone who who was speaking last night it's not like they were all Democrats I mean Dana Bash Jake Tapper Abby philli all my amazing colleagues they come across that analysis they come across that way in a moment like that it was like 5 to one it always looks like 5 to1 okay I'll move on once again I find myself having the same reaction I've had countless times these people must think we're stupid like we're all walking around with dun caps Caitlyn Collins explanation is supposed to make us believe that Kan is believe that KH is balanced and unbiased these are the same people reporting the news who are arguably among the most dishonest perhaps second only to certain Democrat prosecutors and District Attorneys did you catch that explanation we're not biased we have Scott Jennings what kind of argument is that it's the same tokenism Nancy Pelosi used with her blatantly partisan January 6 commission claiming it wasn't biased because Liz Cheney and Adam kininger were involved now I'm not comparing Scott Jennings to Cheney or kininger they're different but the point remains it's just tokenism networks like Kenan plant uh token Republican who appears maybe one at the time then claimed they're unbiased but when 97 and of your coverage is anti-trump propaganda having Scott Jennings speak three of the time doesn't make it balance the news is supposed to reflect how people actually feel and what they're thinking mirroring real discussions and social settings yet while the nation is roughly split 50 ify ify ideologically Sans coverage skews overwhelmingly in One Direction this entire interaction just proves to me that the media is a completely corrupted entity Beyond salvation or Redemption no matter how rational or fact based the argument they'll always deny it act like what Democrats have done before which is often something that Republicans when we have them on my show say when we talk about January 6 and the fake electors and Trump refusing to admit that he lost the election there was barely a peaceful transfer of power they actually wouldn't even allow them to move forward with getting Federal funding to start the transition for weeks I remember it was because we found out about a little known position that no one in the federal government even really knew about because of that but also the difference then is Joe Biden went and certified the election he was the vice president then and he certified Donald Trump's election and did not there was not a massive it's important to note the differences between how Democrats and Trump handled election outcomes during the January 6 transition Barack Obama Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton accepted the results without attempting to overturn them unlike Trump Clinton despite having the right to challenge the results chose not to because of her Patriot ISM Biden as vice president shut down objections during the certification process ensuring a smooth transition in contrast Trump not only attempted to sue his way back into the White House and incited an Insurrection but his administration also blocked crucial funding and intelligence briefings to the incoming Biden Administration which was an unprecedented moral failing this highlights the clear moral superiority of the Democrats and respecting the Democratic process it's clear that the debate over media bias and credibil is far from settled while networks like Kenan claim to offer balanced journalism critics remain skeptical arguing that the inclusion of conservative voices is merely tokenism this ongoing discussion underscores the broader issue of trust in mainstream media and raises important questions about the future of news as the landscape continues to evolve it may be up to Independent journalism to restore the balance and integrity that many feel has been lost thanks
