Adeel Raja, who wrote more than four dozen articles for CNN over seven years, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/cnn-faces-backlash-over-contributors-pro-hitler-tweets-he-did-good-with-those-jews\">tweeted<\/a> Sunday, \u201cThe world today needs a Hitler.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Islamabad-based freelance contributor proved nearly as prolific in writing pro-Nazi tweets as news articles. On July 12, 2014, he tweeted that he supported the German soccer team during the World Cup, because,<strong> \u201c<\/strong>Hitler was a German and he did good with those Jews!\u201d One day later, he tweeted the linguistically incorrect, \u201cHail Hitler!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CNN cut ties with Adeel, noting he \u201chas never been a CNN employee,\u201d but \u201cin light of these abhorrent statements, he will not be working with CNN again in any capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Adeel\u2019s latest tweet came just two days after a guest on CNN\u2019s most closely aligned competitor, MSNBC, repeated white nationalist talking points by blaming the current Israel-Gaza conflict on \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/msnbc-guest-jewish-supremacy-caused-israeli-gaza-conflict\">Jewish supremacy<\/a>.\u201d CNN had nothing to say on the matter, and MSNBC has yet to issue an apology.<\/p>\n<p>But CNN\u2019s reaction to learning they harbored an advocate of Jewish genocide didn\u2019t match its hypercritical coverage of other networks\u2019 alleged \u201cdog whistles\u201d of fascism, white nationalism, and racism. Here are a few examples:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fox News shows \u201cracial opportunism\u201d by talking about AOC and the Squad<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the early days of 2019, news networks went all-AOC, all the time. But her democratic socialist bromides did not wear well \u2014 and CNN quickly pivoted. Brian Stelter claimed on July 21, 2019, that Fox News\u2019 criticism of \u201cThe Squad\u201d \u2014 Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), and Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) \u2014 was a sign of prejudice.<\/p>\n<p>Stelter claimed President Trump began \u201cattacking these four progressive congresswomen,\u201d because \u201che is hearing a lot of them on Fox News.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The CNN host had his staffers catalogue FNC\u2019s mentions of AOC and Omar compared to \u201cDemocrats who actually have a lot of power,\u201d like Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC). \u201cYou see he is barely in the news compared to these freshman congresswomen,\u201d Stelter said. His guest \u2014 Tara Dowdell, a political and business strategist who appeared on \u201cThe Apprentice\u201d \u2014 adde that, \u201cof course,\u201d this was \u201ca legitimate complaint. This is about racial opportunism.\u201d She did not explain how it would be less racist to rail against Clyburn than AOC or Omar.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ron DeSantis uses the word \u201cmonkey\u201d on Fox News<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While running for governor of Florida in 2018, Republican candidate Ron DeSantis told Fox News that he hoped to continue the successful policies of his predecessor, Rick Scott. \u201cWe\u2019ve got to work hard to make sure that we continue Florida going in a good direction. Let\u2019s build off the success we\u2019ve had with Governor Scott,\u201d DeSantis said. \u201cThe last thing we need to do is to monkey this up by trying to embrace a socialist agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Florida Democrats claimed the remarks intended to highlight the race of his opponent, then-Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/democrats-nominated-actual-socialist-governor-emily-zanotti\">democratic socialist<\/a>. Sitting in for Jake Tapper, CNN\u2019s Jim Sciutto said the \u201cfar-right\u201d DeSantis\u2019 remarks <a href=\"http:\/\/transcripts.cnn.com\/TRANSCRIPTS\/1808\/29\/cg.01.html\">showed<\/a> \u201chow divided and how ugly\u201d the 2018 midterms would get. He later asked a guest if the comments were \u201can intentional dog whistle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis issued a statement laughing off the controversy as \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/ron-desantis-clarifies-after-taking-heat-for-warning-florida-voters-not-to-monkey-this-up\">absurd<\/a>.\u201d He went on to win the election and regularly ranks behind Donald Trump as the most popular presidential hopeful in the 2024 Republican primaries. On the other hand, in March 2020 police caught an inebriated Gillum in a hotel room, in the presence of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/andrew-gillum-comes-out-as-bi-in-return-to-public-life-after-male-escort-scandal\">male escort<\/a> and copious amounts of methamphetamine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cMake America Great Again\u201d is straight out of Mein Kampf<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Last August 30, Brian Stelter invited Jason Stanley to discuss his book, <em>How Fascism Works<\/em>, on CNN\u2019s \u201cReliable Sources.\u201d Stelter summarized the first pillar of fascist rhetoric as an appeal to \u201ca mythic past \u2014 appeal to the make America great again because it\u2019s not great anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stanley said this came out of Mein Kampf, <a href=\"http:\/\/transcripts.cnn.com\/TRANSCRIPTS\/2008\/30\/rs.01.html\">adding<\/a>: \u201cThese are tactics used across the board by authoritarians who don\u2019t intend genocide or anything like Hitler. So, there isn\u2019t a comparison here between what Trump is doing and his policies \u2014 just in the propaganda he\u2019s exploiting.\u201d Stelter made eight references to Fox News during the hour, charging it with spreading various kinds of propaganda and misinformation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lou Dobbs\u2019 guest criticizes George Soros<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In October 2018, CNN launched a broadside against then Fox Business host Lou Dobbs when his guest, Chris Farrell of Judicial Watch, referred to the \u201cSoros-occupied\u201d State Department. The comment came a few months after Farrell had used the term \u201cSoros-occupied territory\u201d on Dobbs\u2019 show. George Soros, a Democratic megadonor, has tried to characterize all criticism of his abundant financing of extreme left-wing causes as anti-Semitism.
