'Greatest disseminator of disinformation': CNN gets brutal takedown over debate 'silence'

In a scathing appraisal of how the two moderators of the first 2024 presidential debate let Donald Trump run wild with a firehose of lies, one critic stated the pair is responsible for letting the former president hoodwink viewers who aren't fully immersed in politics on a daily basis.

In her column for Salon, political observer Heather "Digby" Parton wrote that "State of the Union" anchors Jake Tapper and Dana Bash failed as journalists by letting Trump make a mockery of the debate by lying with impunity, and not calling him out on it before a huge television audience.

'Total anti-Trump lib': Amy Coney Barrett's surprise J6 dissent has MAGA fuming

Former President Donald Trump's MAGA supporters are despairing over a surprising voice of dissent in the Supreme Court's Jan. 6 ruling — a move that legal experts believe means she will rule against Trump's presidential immunity claim.

Watch: CNN's Acosta snaps at conservative for ducking Trump debate lies questions

CNN host Jim Acosta cut off a supporter of Donald Trump on Friday morning when the former Trump campaign adviser refused to answer questions about the ex-president's deluge of lies in Thursday night's presidential debate.

Sitting down with conservative Bryan Lanza, Acosta confronted him with Trump making claims about Jan. 6 and abortion that were flat-out untrue only to have Lanza complain that the press is covering for Biden's poor debate performance.

"Why does Trump keep saying that Democrats want to execute babies after birth?" Acosta pressed. "That's a lie. That's not true."

"I think what you have to have the conversation with the campaign to see whether it's a lie," Lanza parried. "I think the most important thing that I walked away from the abortion conversation last night was that President Trump was proud of nominating Supreme Court justices who did overturn Roe v Wade and returned it to the states, which is where the American public has wanted it for a significant amount of time."

"Now, sure CNN can sort of cover —and MSNBC can try to sort of focus on the lies..." he continued only to have Acosta to cut him off with, "Don't go after, don't talk about the press, come on. He lied over and over again."

As Lanza attempted to talk over the CNN anchor, Acosta continued, "No. Bryan, he said the January 6 defendants are quote 'so innocent.' Correct? These are people who are criminals."

"They stormed the Capitol. They broke the law that would've never happened had Donald Trump just accepted the results of the 2020 election. And you know that." Acosta lectured him.

"Sure, but what have the voters decided on that?" Lanza replied without answering the question. "The voters decided that is not their priority when they vote in this election."

"Republican voters decided that," Acosta corrected him.

"He's winning independent voters and he's winning the general election in swing states so all voters at this particular point made the decision that January 6 is not relevant to their lives," he attempted.
