A couple of months ago, CNN host Abby Phillip took a break from getting her clock cleaned by Scott Jennings to sit down with Joy Reid (LOL) and explain what she thinks her job is.
It was a truly glorious moment for journalisming:
Abby Phillip describes how her job at CNN is to explain "the facts" to conservatives who live in "a completely different information world."

Got that, conservatives? Like Gandalf towering over Bilbo Baggins, she's just here to help us.
She simply wants to explain the 'facts' to all of us uneducated, ignorant, MAGA rubes.
And lucky us. She gets to explain those facts every night. For example, here she is last night, explaining them to The New York Post's Lydia Moynihan on the subject of Don Lemon's indictment. The only problem, as usual, is that Phillip is completely ignorant of the actual facts that were included in that indictment. Watch:
Moynihan: The indictment says that Lemon posted himself outside the door and prevented people from exiting.

Phillip: The indictment does NOT say that.
NEXT SEGMENT:
Moynihan: *Quotes indictment*
Phillip: We have to question the characterizations in the indictment.

Oops!
Notice how Phillip, who obviously never read the indictment, ever-so-clumsily pivots from 'the indictment doesn't say that' to 'well, I disagree with what the indictment says.'
Classic Abby.
Umm ... Can someone explain to us again how she still has a job?
Incredible https://t.co/KrWswqL41f

You do have to almost be impressed with how stupid she can be on a regular basis.
... Almost.
A daily occurrence on this program.

Conservatives couldn't wish for a dumber foil.
Abby Phillip - if she had an ounce of good faith - would have immediately apologized to Lydia for wrongly accusing her of making things up

Instead she just pivots
Terrible host https://t.co/DPwQ5Us4uA
HAHAHA.
That's a pretty good joke, mentioning Phillip and 'good faith' in the same sentence.
This is what defending the "narrative" and sacrificing the truth looks like: https://t.co/a5Vq6yLVm6

As James Earl Jones used to say, 'THIS is CNN.'
'The Most Trusted Name in News.'
LOL.

Other late-night 'comedy' programs abandoned humor a long time ago. But we're happy that Phillip is still doing her best to make us laugh every night.
Is CNN embarrassed having a stupid child host a show?
— JWF (@JammieWF) January 31, 2026
You would think so, wouldn't you?
But they're not. They don't care, as long as she props up their preferred narratives. No matter how badly she does it.
Abby was so confident. And so wrong. Can never admit it though.

We will never get tired of citing one of our favorite Ronald Reagan quotes -- and it seems there will never NOT be a need for his quote:
'The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they’re ignorant. It’s just that they know so much that isn’t so.'
Some evergreen truth from The Gipper right there.
WTF is this? Can't stand her. pic.twitter.com/pfac2gBhkm

Oh, that was even better. The look on her face when Moynihan was reading from the indictment itself. You could feel how annoyed she was right through the video screen.
Phillip’s indignant sigh as she was confronted with the quoted indictment. The lady is such a hack.

Phillip's defeated facial expressions are almost as classic as Jennings's hilarious side-eyes to her and other leftists.
— Jax Verza (@Orso_Dino) January 31, 2026
But let's always remember that explaining 'facts' to conservatives is Phillip's never-ending heroic mission.

Except, of course, when she doesn't know the facts.
Which is more or less 100 percent of the time.
