CNN Host Did NOT Let Aviation Expert's Reality Check Ruin The Preferred Spin On Recent Crashes

Posted • February 20, 2025: CNN's Dana Bash and other panelists were dutifully running with the Democrats' preferred talking points about recent plane crashes (one of which didn't even happen in the U.S.) to try and make it sound like Trump and DOGE making some federal cuts had something to do with the accidents. https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1891921764285865984/pu/vid/avc1/1280x720/GO-N0sNMkAjYChVl.mp4 —— There's a slightly longer clip that makes Bash's hackery even more obvious. Bash was coming out of an interview with an aviation expert who said there's no connection, but that didn't stop her from pushing that narrative. "Ridiculous hacks" incoming: These ridiculous hacks. CNN’s own aviation expert tells them there’s no connective thread between these recent airline crashes but Dana Bash immediately goes into making it about Trump anyway. Bash quoted the aviation expert's comments and then went on to go back to making it about Trump.

After talking to CNN's aviation expert that said there's no common threat among recent plane crashes, Dana Bash kicks off a panel discussion "As he said, there is no thread between all of those except the obvious, which is that planes are crashing, which is frightening, but this is happening against the backdrop of massive cuts across the federal government, including at the FAA." They're so predictable. Politico's Eli Stokols adds "You know, you see planes crashing left and right...at some point people may connect the dots and they may come to blame this administration, this government, if they have just bulldozed their way through government, taken out a lot of expertise because people don't really know what government does or is until it's doing something for them or until it's not there." —— "People may connect the dots" -- especially if these people keep making the connection for them even if there is no connection.
