During an airing just days before a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/lara-trump-says-father-in-law-is-prepared-for-attempts-to-rig-debate\/\" title=\"Lara Trump: Father-in-law Ready for Debate Rigging Attempts\">scheduled presidential debate<\/a> between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, which CNN was set to host, \u2064the interaction illustrated CNN&#8217;s perceived bias against Trump. While discussing the upcoming debate and the moderators&#8217; potential \u2064biases, Hunt cut off \u200bLeavitt&#8217;s microphone and ended \u200cher appearance\u200c on \u2063the show, following \u2064a \u200bheated\u200c exchange about the neutrality of\u2063 debate moderators Jake Tapper and \u2063Dana Bash. \u200dThis incident reflected broader criticisms regarding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/texas-electors-place-their-votes-for-president-trump-and-then-vote-to-condemn-supreme-court-for-throwing-out-texas-lawsuit\/\" title=\"Texas Electors Place Their Votes for President Trump and Then Vote to Condemn Supreme Court for Throwing Out Texas Lawsuit\">media bias<\/a> and was\u200b highlighted further\u200d by \u2062subsequent reactions on social media,\u200c including comments from political figures like Senator Rand Paul\u2019s wife. Kasie \u200dHunt consequently was criticized for her\u200d actions, \u2063receiving a high bias\u2064 rating\u2064 from a media watchdog.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>And just like that, CNN showed its anti-Trump bias on Monday, just three days before hosting the first <a href=\"https:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/debates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"debate\">debate<\/a> between former President <a href=\"https:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Donald Trump\">Donald Trump<\/a> and President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/joe-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Joe Biden\">Joe Biden<\/a>, proving Republicans correct in complaining that the debate would be an ambush.<\/p>\n<p>It came early Monday morning when anchor Kasie Hunt was hosting Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt. At the time, Secrets was considering the week\u2019s choices for the Liberal Media Scream feature with Brent Baker of the Media Research Center.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>Stories about the strong anti-Trump bias of co-debate moderators Dana Bash and Jake Tapper started to appear over the weekend, so it wasn\u2019t unexpected that Leavitt would criticize them. Readers may recall that CNN and Trump have an antagonistic relationship, highlighted when CNN host Jim Acosta tussled with Trump during a press conference five years ago.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>When Leavitt hit CNN\u2019s bias, Hunt, who often includes Republicans on her show, wouldn\u2019t hear of it, shut off her guest\u2019s microphone, and kicked Trump\u2019s spokeswoman off the air. The two traded tweets afterward, but the damage was done and led to a piling on by those upset with Hunt\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/project-veritas-strips-cnn-naked\/\" title=\"Project Veritas Strips CNN Naked\">liberal bias<\/a>, including Sen. Rand Paul\u2019s (R-KY) wife, who noted that Hunt called the story about an attack on the senator one of her \u201cfavorite stories.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, for her actions, Hunt wins our Liberal Media Scream of the week with a rating of five out of five screams.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<p> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"CNN\u2019s Hunt Cuts Mike for Trump Rep When She Dares Cite Tapper\u2019s Hostility to Trump\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XvYsTt4zSOI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen   style=\"display:none\"><\/iframe> <\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>From Monday\u2019s <em>CNN This Morning:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>KAROLINE LEAVITT:<\/strong> <em>Well, President Trump is well prepared ahead of Thursday\u2019s debates. Unlike Joe Biden, he doesn\u2019t have to hide away and have his advisers tell him what to say. President Trump knows what he wants to say, and he\u2019s going to relay his vision to the American people to make this country strong, safe, secure, and wealthy again. He\u2019s been doing that across this great nation, to all corners of this country.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>That\u2019s why he was in Detroit, Michigan, last week. He was in Philadelphia for a big rally on Saturday night, and that\u2019s why President Trump is knowingly going into a hostile environment on this very network, on CNN, with debate moderators who have made their opinions about him very well known over the past eight years in their biased coverage of him. So President Trump is willing to bring his message to every corner of this country, to voters, to ensure that he wins this election in November. He looks forward to doing that, and I know the American public looks forward to hearing from him.<\/em><\/p>\n<figure>\n<div>\n<blockquote data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">You come on my show, you respect my colleagues.
