Toldjah So…Former CNNers Just Keep Proving Our Point…John Avlon (D) Running For Congress In New York

John Avlon, as a fill-in anchor at CNN routinely fell in line with the Democrat talking points, which wasn't too much of a surprise considering his previous role as the editor-in-chief of the Daily Beast. Two weeks ago, Avlon left CNN, and rumors swirled at the time that he was getting ready to announce a Congressional run. Sure enough, that's exactly what has happened. And in a shocker of shockers, his party affiliation will be… Democrat: Avlon will be running as a Democrat in New York’s 1st Congressional District, according to Federal Election Commission (FEC) fillings. […] He joins a cohort of candidates on the Democratic side that are vying to unseat Rep. Nick LaLota (R-N.Y.). LaLota is serving his first term in Congress after succeeding former Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.). He was one of a dozen Republican New York freshmen who contributed to flipping the lower chamber red in 2022.

In his campaign announcement, Avlon of course took aim at… Donald Trump: “It's official: I'm running for Congress in #NY01 because there's too much at stake for the country & community I love. Long Island families deserve someone who fights for their values, not Trump's. It's time for us all to get off the sidelines.” -- In picking up where they left off as employees of CNN, these former CNNers keep proving the points conservative media critics made while they were there - that the network was biased against the right and framed their coverage accordingly. And, as we've also extensively documented, it's still happening with the current rotation of media figures there, something that is unlikely to change anytime soon if ever. So yes, reporters - many of them - do indeed "root for a side," which is a big reason why trust in the media is at all-time lows and many Americans turn to alternative media sources for news. Facts first and all that.
