NewsNation host Dan Abrams defended the network again Thursday night after more attacks came in after the hiring of former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo.
Greg Gutfeld spent several minutes mocking NewsNation and Dan Abram’s ratings on Gutfeld, saying “I didn’t know NewsNation existed”.
Dean Cain, the 55-year-old actor best known for playing Clark Kent/Superman in the television series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, was a panelist on Wednesday’s edition of Gutfeld, and also claimed he’d never heard of NewsNation.
“I never heard about it until this right here, and I’m probably not going to hear about it again,” Cain said.
“Maybe you will after tonight, Dean,” Abrams replied. “You see, I found it a little odd that he said that. But I couldn’t figure out why because I’m certain I know it…I’ve definitely seen him somewhere else, somewhere familiar. Somewhere closer to home,” Abrams said as he showed a photo of Cain as Superman.
Abrams then played a portion of an interview with Cain on NewsNation from April 2021 with host Ashleigh Banfield.
“How about that?” Abrams gloated. “Dean Cain, who I’m told pitched himself to be on the network back in 2021, spelling out the very mission of this channel. And yet last night when the pile-on party started on Fox, he was front and center.”
Cain took to Twitter for a rebuttal, saying he had zero recollection of the network but knew Banfield, respected her, but denied “pitching himself” to the network.
