CNN is widely known for its extreme bias and has been called the anti-Trump network.
Kasie Hunt, the network’s newest employee, was scolded for criticizing Democrats.
After eight years at MSNBC, Hunt joined CNN in this month’s edition.
Hunt took to Twitter to boldly declare that he would surpass CNN’s biased, left-leaning “journalists”, calling out California Governor Gavin Newsom.
“One of the top Democrats in the country got caught living like an elite while everyone else suffered,” Hunt stated about Newsom.
“Elites vs. the rest is the driving force in our politics right now and Democrats have a tough needle to thread,” she continued to add.
“Democrats need to prove they can govern for EVERYBODY,” Hunt tweeted.
“Obviously California is a Special Place — but the fact that a Democratic national star in waiting *faced* a recall and then had to fight hard for it midway through the campaign does say a lot about the potential challenges Democrats face across the map,” Hunt continued to add.
“Especially if President Biden can’t demonstrate he’s capable of getting the resurgent pandemic under control, has another competence crisis a la Afghanistan, can’t get his budget plan through Congress, etc.”
CA GOV BIG PICTURE: One of the top Democrats in the country got caught living like an elite while everyone else suffered. Elites vs. the rest is the driving force in our politics right now and Democrats have a tough needle to thread both in California & nationwide … (1/)

Democrats need to prove they can govern for EVERYBODY, and if you look at California — it's not necessarily the best test case for national Democrats (see: concern about homelessness, crime, etc) (2/)

Liberals didn’t like this opinion.
Fox News summarizes the reactions:
Hunt’s former MSNBC colleague Malcolm Nance didn’t appreciate her analysis.
“Oh this is just plain old stupid,” Nance wrote…
Darlene McDonald, activist, responded, “How does a really good news anchor get this so very wrong? We all make mistakes. I employ Ms Hunt to take a second look at this and perhaps, rewrite it with a renewed outlook. I’m not giving up on her. She’s better than this take.”
Far-left, former MSNBC star Keith Olbermann declared it is “genuinely hard to believe you have spent any days prior to this one covering politics.”
Musician John Legend even reprimanded CNN’s new reporter.
“He faced a recall because it’s ridiculously easy to start a recall in California. He won in a landslide that probably won’t reflect much erosion from his last election, if any,” Legend wrote. “This analysis seems to be ignoring these very salient points.”
