CNN has featured many prominent voices urging President Biden to step away from the 2024 presidential race. Mike Gallagher wonders what viewers of the network think.
During The Mike Gallagher Show Tuesday, the Salem Radio Network host shared his belief that viewers of the cable network must be surprised at the network’s coverage of President Biden since the presidential debate late last month.
“How would you like to be a CNN regular? You’re a lefty, you got your Birkenstocks on, you’re wearing your tie-dyed t-shirt, you’re driving around in your Prius with the Save the Whales bumper sticker on the back of your car, and you sit down with your overpriced cup of latte from Starbucks to watch Jake Tapper. And Jake Tapper scorches, I mean he goes scorched earth, on Joe Biden. You must be so confused,” Gallagher said. “If you’re a CNN groupie, you don’t know what to think. Because for four years, you’ve just heard how brilliant Joe Biden is.
“‘Orange man bad. Donald Trump’s the devil. He’s Hitler.’ And now they’re turning on the guy that they’ve been lifting up for four years. Don’t you love how all these supposed journalists are suddenly seeing the light? They’re not seeing the light. Jake Tapper isn’t being objective all of a sudden. You think these people are suddenly becoming journalists? They’re not journalists. They’re turning on Biden because they know he’s gonna lose. That’s all it is.”
Gallagher’s discussion of CNN comes weeks after he announced he would no longer play clips from the network on his nationally syndicated radio show due to the network’s treatment for Karoline Leavitt, the national press secretary for the Donald Trump campaign late last month.
However, Gallagher noted he “could not live with himself” if he didn’t play a clip of Tapper criticizing the President.
