A CNN “journalist” and a dirtbag Late-Night talkshow host walk into a bar to talk about the Trump Administration. Yes, the jokes write themselves here.

You can just about imagine. Two sanctimonious, pompous, empty-headed imbeciles, resting high upon their moral laurels, in their ivory towers and judging something they know nothing about: War.

CNN Correspondent, Clarissa Ward went on-the-record with The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Wednesday night live from Iraq, where she accused the White House of demonstrating a “staggering lack of humility” with its handling of the war in Iran so far.

This Peabody Award-winning “journalist”, slammed the Trump Administration, Pete Hegseth, The Department of War and The White House for demonstrating a “staggering lack of humility” for its handling of the war in Iran.

My good friend, journalist Hala Gorani, today quoted Machiavelli, who wrote, ‘Wars will begin when you will, but they do not end when you please’. I think this war is particularly disconcerting in the sense that it is so difficult to prognosticate or predict when it will end, how far it will unravel, how far the repercussions will reach.

We’re talking about 13 or 14 countries [that] have now become embroiled in one way or another with this conflict,” the CNN correspondent added. “I’m not sure that that was part of the calculus going into this.”-Clarissa Ward, CNN

Because journalists and late-night-talk show hosts have “staggering humility”, don’t you know? We all should strive to be like them.

Shame. Shame. Shame.

I’m ashamed as an American of Clarissa Ward and CNN…

Let’s talk about the many instances of CNN’s shameful reporting:

Trump officials prepare for potential cabinet shakeup after one-year mark.

…the Pentagon and National Security Council significantly underestimated Iran’s willingness to close the Strait of Hormuz in response to US military strikes.

We won’t even go into the biased reporting on various and other sundry matters. Pick a day, any day.

COVID. Trump. Russia, Russia, Russia.

We will keep pressing, we will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies. Yet some in this crew, in the press, just can’t stop. Allow me to make a few suggestions. People look up at the TV and they see banners, they see headlines. I used to be in that business, and I know that everything is written intentionally.

For example, a banner or a headline: ‘Mid East War Intensifies’ flashing on the screen the last couple of days, alongside visuals of civilian or energy targets that Iran has hit, because that’s what they do. What should the banner read instead? How about, ‘Iran Increasingly Desperate,’ because they are. They know it, and so do you, if it can be admitted.”-Pete Hegseth

This pressing, pushing, advancing. This no mercy for our enemies is what CNN’s Clarissa Ward calls, “a staggering lack of humility” in front of a camera whilst quoting Machiavelli with Stephen (Canceled) Colbert. They want us to back off. They want us to have mercy for our enemies. That’s not how war works. That’s not how any of this works.

Again, though. They are the humble ones. They are our betters. Clarissa Ward should be ashamed of herself for uttering these words while American men and women are in harms way and have fallen. This would require actual humility. But “parachute journalists” seldom have this character trait. They go into “harms way” with their elitist, globalist ideals from their Ivy League institutions and preach about war. They sensationalize. They say that they, themselves, are “in the war”. They don’t bother to understand the plight of the people in a war-torn country that are being freed from a horrific, oppressive regime.

Remember Myanmar back in 2021>? Clarissa Ward boasted herself as the “only international correspondent reporting ‘on the ground” from Myanmar, providing “exclusive coverage” for CNN.

Humility.

If you're not proud of America, our military, and our accomplishments as a country, you are free to leave and find another country to live in more to your choosing.

Perhaps Ms. Ward would like to make her “exhilarating, historical experience” on the streets of the Taliban-controlled Afghanistan a permanent residency? She can talk about how “ashamed” she is of The United States in her burqa. Please, for the love of God, I hope she takes Colbert with her.
