The Radical Left has had the media squarely in their pocket for many years now. But all of that could be changing.
And a CNN host has done the unthinkable on air and the Radical Left is terrified.
CNN host Fareed Zakaria expressed significant doubts about the impartiality and motivation behind the legal actions against former President Donald Trump, specifically referring to the hush-money case in New York.
On his show, “GPS,” Zakaria discussed the broader implications of these charges, suggesting they might not have been pursued against any other individual.
Zakaria noted a palpable consolidation of support for Trump as he navigates through numerous legal challenges while campaigning for another term.
He observed that any internal opposition Trump might have faced within his party has dissipated, bolstering his position.
According to Zakaria, the continuous legal battles keep Trump in the public eye, potentially galvanizing his base and even earning him a degree of sympathy from the general populace, who may perceive the prosecutions as politically driven.
“I doubt the New York indictment would have been brought against a defendant whose name was not Donald Trump,” Zakaria asserted.

This statement reflects a growing skepticism among the American public regarding the fairness of Trump’s trial—a sentiment backed by a CNN poll indicating a majority harbor doubts about the trial’s impartiality.
The case against Trump, led by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, involves 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.
These charges are connected to alleged payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels and others, purportedly to suppress damaging information during the 2016 election campaign.
This “catch-and-kill” tactic, according to prosecutors, was intended to sway the election’s outcome in Trump’s favor.
Trump has consistently denied all allegations, decrying them as part of a broader “political persecution” against him.
His legal battles aren’t confined to this case; he’s concurrently facing other criminal charges on both state and federal levels as he pursues re-election, maintaining his innocence across all fronts.
The legal foundations of Bragg’s case have been questioned by several legal experts.
Even CNN’s legal analyst Elie Honig pointed out that the case employs a contentious legal strategy that elevates misdemeanor charges to the felony level, which he argued would stand little chance of leading to a conviction in a more politically balanced jurisdiction.
This analysis underscores the concerns that the charges against Trump are politically motivated rather than grounded in a pursuit of justice.
The situation encapsulates the ongoing debate about whether the legal challenges Trump faces are a rightful pursuit of justice for alleged wrongdoings or whether they are politically motivated actions designed to tarnish his image and hinder his political career.
Such circumstances demand a closer examination of the legal and ethical standards at play within the U.S. judicial system, particularly concerning high-profile figures involved in politics.
The implications are far-reaching, potentially affecting public trust in both the legal system and the political landscape.
As Trump’s trials continue, they are more than mere legal proceedings; they are a litmus test for the integrity of American legal and political institutions.
The outcomes of these cases could profoundly impact public perceptions and trust, shaping the political narrative in the lead-up to the next presidential election.
