On Thursday night, popular radio host Charlamagne tha God went on Anderson Cooper’s show on CNN, where he excoriated the network live for not giving enough coverage to the fact Trump is a fascist.
“I heard more on this network about ‘is Kamala Harris Black?’ than I do about Donald Trump being a fascist,” Charlamagne said.
Clearly rattled, Cooper interrupted Charlamagne to say, “That’s bulls**t,” before giving a half-hearted attempt to defend the network, and corporate media in general.
Cooper even said that they bring on “nutty people” to have “diverse discussions.” Is that supposed to be a joke? Because it’s not funny.
Charlamagne didn’t back down one bit: “That’s bulls**t, Anderson…I think no network has been honest about Donald Trump…Nobody has had honest conversations about Donald Trump since 2016.”
Even though Cooper laughed it off, it felt great to see such a powerful personality repeat what we’ve been saying for years. And to call out CNN—while on CNN—makes it even sweeter.
Charlamagne said it perfectly: “It’s always a double standard with Trump. Whether it’s Hillary, whether it’s Biden. Now, with Kamala, we talk about him being a threat to democracy, but we don’t treat him like one.”
Charlamagne is absolutely right. The Press must start treating Trump like the threat to democracy he is. Stop normalizing it when he literally acts like a fascist and threatens Americans with prison time or violence. The media has to sound the alarm at a constant, and stop wasting time having “nutty” discussions about Kamala’s race.
It may be stating the obvious at this point, but all of us here are sick of corporate media being Trump’s biggest accomplices. It’s naive and dangerous to sanewash Donald, a serial criminal.
Charlamagne’s smackdown on CNN was awesome. We need elected officials, celebrities, and anyone with a voice on the news to do the same, at a constant.
As we inch closer to the election, the massive Press failures are increasing daily. The corporate media clearly wants Donald to win. That’s why we’ll be sharing this article with millions of people, to call out news orgs and encourage everyone to vote for Kamala, which is the only real antidote for this Trump madness.
Over the next 11 days we’ll be working around-the-clock to hold corporate media accountable for their failures, fight back against Trump’s lies, and push for Democrats to win big.
And we aren’t stopping on November 5th. I created a Press Watchdog Coalition to increase our pressure campaigns on corporate media to a level never seen before. And I want you to be a part of it.

Corporate media has allowed Donald Trump too escape from being held accountable for his actions especially when he tried to overthrow the government! So I say BRAVO this needed to be said.
I saw that on CNN and it was glorious! Charlamagne tha God was absolutely on fire, shame on Anderson Cooper for saying they call out Trump on his constant lying. Do your damn job Anderson!
