Former CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin is now accusing her former employer of stunning hypocrisy when it comes to their coverage of school shootings.

As The Daily Wire reports:

Former CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin slammed her former employer in an op-ed published this week at The Atlantic, claiming that they blew off a live interview from a teacher at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in the wake of the tragedy that occurred at the school in 2018 so that the far-Left network could cover Trump news.

“One of my producers interrupted our broadcast from Florida and spoke into my earpiece. News was breaking about President Donald Trump and the FBI. My producer assured me that we’d return to coverage in Parkland, but that right then—I’ll never forget it—’we have to break away to go live to Washington’,” Baldwin wrote. “But. But. But. Fourteen students were dead. I stood there dumbfounded. A teacher from the school was just out of camera range, waiting to join me for a five-minute live interview. I used the pause in coverage to tell her what was happening and told her that we’d get to her, that her story mattered. But I already knew then that they weren’t coming back to us.”

“Outside of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, I waited to reappear on my own show, furiously emailing my producers back at CNN headquarters to fight for more airtime on what was happening at Parkland: Come back to me. The teacher!” she continued. “Soon after, I got my marching orders: Come back to New York. I knew what that meant. We were done.”

Baldwin took a shot at the network on her way out the door last year by suggesting that the network was rife with sexism, saying that all the highest paid people there and all her bosses were men. “So I’ve been surrounded by a lot of men,” she said. “I was surrounded by a lot of dudes.”

Baldwin has been known in the past for her consistent anti-second amendment agenda.

  1. Well, she is wrong on her anti-second amendment views, but she’s oh so right about the hypocrisy of CNN on all subjects REAL NEWS. The only thing that matters to them is having women around that they can sexualize, and Fake Stories to push the leftist narrative!

  2. and Brooke Baldwin probably does not get the irony that the story they were breaking away to cover about Trump and the FBI were all concocted lies to impeach Trump??? The whole business of the news is all clickbait, they aren’t there reporting the news they are trying to create the news. Russia Collusion with the Trump campaign was a total sham and yet it led to an impeachment, that is how corrupt the “news” business is and yet they still soldier on pretending they are reporting news and people keep gobbling it up as if they haven’t been lied to about Russian Collusion, the Ukraine phone call, Hunter Biden’s laptop, BLM, peaceful protests, January 6th was an insurrection, the country’s biggest problem is white supremacy, Putin caused inflation… You name it, the media has fabricated and lied about it, Covid-19 alone was so full of fraud it would take an hour to list all of the lies spread by the media or covered up by the media depending on their choice at the moment, Governor Cuomo is the ideal example, an emmy award for his news briefings that were full of lies and missed the part about all the elderly that died from his decisions! Brook Baldwin can spare me the moralizing, she was part of the problem and nothing to do with the solution.

  3. We KNOW that CNN’s top goal was to sabotage Trump at every turn so this is not surprising. Plus it was Barry O’s pal who was running the school and didn’t report the shooter’s past actions!

  4. She’s right but I never liked that smarmy, smart Alecky, sneering, jeering attitude she has. She is not likeable.
