As the run-up to the 2024 Presidential election continues, cable news outlets have featured sit-down discussions with undecided voters. CNN recently held one, and SuperTalk 99.7 WTN host Dan Mandis found the coverage disingenuous.

During Nashville’s Morning News, Mandis lamented a recent panel of female voters who claimed they were undecided on who they would support in the 2024 election.

During the conversation, the women used terms like Trump would “slither” away from the federal charges he’s facing, that the former President believed he was “Teflon” from charges, while another talked about the potential cases could “bury him.” The majority of the women also claimed that Trump being convicted of a crime in the hush money case with Stormy Daniels would disqualify him in their eyes.

Dan Mandis argued that, in his view, the women clearly were not undecided voters, and claimed more nefarious circumstances were at play by CNN.

“CNN is absolutely desperate. This whole thing I believe is sort of like a power of suggestion. What CNN is trying to do is that they’re reacting to their own polling that … shows that Biden is in trouble,” said Mandis. “So now, through the power of suggestion, what they’re trying to do is convince women that Biden’s not so bad, by demonizing Donald Trump. Isn’t that obvious what they’re trying to do? CNN ‘s own dishonesty about this piece tells you that they are clearly trying to convince women that Donald Trump is truly awful.

“CNN couldn’t find any women who perhaps might be just a little more in the middle?,” he concluded. “I know that there are women that are clearly conflicted. But they can they can state it more fairly or fair than these women are here. Because these women are not conflicted at all.”

A pair of conservative media websites were hacked Thursday, with the content being taken over by the groups attacking the website. Dan Bongino has revealed his website was part of the attack.

Websites for Human Events and The Post Millennial were taken down by hackers, and replaced with a letter claiming to be from Post Millennial senior editor Andy Ngo. At the end of the letter were links to download personal information of the subscribers and writers and editors of The Post Millennial.

On Friday, Bongino took to X to claim his website — BonginoReport.com — was also under attack. However, the yet-to-be-identified group attempting to access the site was unsuccessful.

“FYI, some communist f—s tried to take down our news website at BonginoReport.com last night,” the nationally syndicated host wrote. “Said communist f—s were unsuccessful and our site is running smoothly.”

Bongino concluded the social media message with a middle finger emoji.

Michael Smerconish is a busy man. Between his SiriusXM show and weekend program on CNN, he stays in front of news media consumers. But that schedule doesn’t have him contemplating any changes.

In a feature story with Philadelphia Magazine, the host was asked — after guest hosting for several primetime figures across MSNBC and CNN — if he would ever have his own primetime cable news show.

“I am not currently looking to do anything different. I am happy with both radio and television,” Smerconish said. “And I have a pair of podcasts. Plus, I do a daily YouTube. And I have a daily newsletter. I also do paid public speaking all over the country.”

Michael Smerconish also discussed his move from terrestrial radio to SiriusXM in 2013. He shared that the situation with Westwood One — Dial Global at the time — was untenable.

“My goal with the local radio show was to get into syndication, which is what happened, and I was eventually on more than 100 stations across the country.

“But I did not have a good relationship with the syndicator, and there were some issues with some of the things that I said, particularly for the conservative radio stations we were on in the country. It wound up being a bad partnership,” he shared. “SiriusXM told me they would let me do my thing.”
