It critiques the behavior\u2064 of CNN anchors, highlighting an incident where anchor\u200d Abby Phillip dismissed guest Ryan Girdusky after he made a \u200bcontroversial joke referencing a colleague. The author, Eddie Scarry, \u200bargues that mainstream media has alienated a significant portion of the audience by <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">promoting divisive rhetoric<\/a> and belittling opposing views. He predicts that regardless \u2062of the outcome of the 2024 \u200delection, the public&#8217;s backlash against the\u2064 media&#8217;s \u200cdishonesty\u2064 and arrogance will persist, ultimately\u2062 diminishing their influence. Scarry\u200d emphasizes that the media&#8217;s reliance on insults and dismissals has led to a substantial loss of trust and viewership,\u200d suggesting a reckoning\u200b is on the horizon for \u200bthese institutions.  <\/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 class=\"article-body body-md bdr-top-black pt-30\">\n<div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\n<div class=\"col-12\">\n<figure class=\"article-thumbnail mb-30 mb-sm-60\">\n<div class=\"article-thumbnail-caption d-flex align-items-center justify-content-md-end label-xs mt-15\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-camera me-10\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Image Credit<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=HajDSYc-UII\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CNN\/YouTube<\/a>       <\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-share text-center article-share-simple\">\n<h5 class=\"label-sm mb-10\">Share<\/h5>\n<ul class=\"article-share-list list-unstyled m-0 p-0\">\n<li class=\"article-share-facebook m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/10\/29\/the-medias-revolting-dishonest-insult-game-ends-with-the-2024-election\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-facebook\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Facebook<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-twitter m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=The%20Media%E2%80%99s%20Revolting,%20Dishonest%20Insult%20Game%20Ends%20With%20The%202024%20Election&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/10\/29\/the-medias-revolting-dishonest-insult-game-ends-with-the-2024-election\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-twitter\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Twitter<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-truth-social m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/share?title=The%20Media%E2%80%99s%20Revolting,%20Dishonest%20Insult%20Game%20Ends%20With%20The%202024%20Election&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/10\/29\/the-medias-revolting-dishonest-insult-game-ends-with-the-2024-election\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">         <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"currentColor\" style=\"width:36px;height:auto;\" viewbox=\"0 0 92 93\"><path d=\"M69.444 55.716H56.772v10.37h12.672zM64.487 37.795V27.32H38.666v38.664h13.18v-28.19zM21.05 27.321h12.653v10.471H21.051z\" https:><\/path><\/svg>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Truth Social<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-link m-0\">       <button data-clipboard-text=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/10\/29\/the-medias-revolting-dishonest-insult-game-ends-with-the-2024-election\/\" data-tooltip-content=\"Copied!\" class=\"clip tooltip\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-link-variant\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Copy Article Link<\/span>       <\/button>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\">       <a href=\"mailto:?subject=The%20Media%E2%80%99s%20Revolting,%20Dishonest%20Insult%20Game%20Ends%20With%20The%202024%20Election&amp;body=%20https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/10\/29\/the-medias-revolting-dishonest-insult-game-ends-with-the-2024-election\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-email\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article via Email<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\"><span class=\"printfriendly pf-button  pf-alignleft\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/#\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" onclick=\"window.print(); return false;\" title=\"Printer Friendly, PDF &amp; Email\"><span id=\"printfriendly-text2\" class=\"pf-button-text\"><i class=\"mdi mdi-printer\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<p>Even if Donald Trump loses the election, 2024 will at least be the year Americans finally told the sociopaths who make up our news media to go to hell.<\/p>\n<p>On one of its more useless shows this week, CNN anchor Abby Phillip removed frequent guest Ryan Girdusky (a happy acquaintance of mine) from a roundtable segment after he hilariously quipped that co-panelist Mehdi Hasan might be wearing one of those Israeli-rigged exploding beepers.
