CNN MELTDOWN: Network BLASTED for Disgraceful Coverage of Trump’s Historic Peace Deal

Sky News host Rita Panahi’s latest “Lefties Losing It” segment offers a blistering critique of CNN’s coverage of President Donald Trump’s landmark Middle East peace deal. Panahi exposes how progressive media and Democratic politicians are struggling to acknowledge Trump’s achievements, resorting instead to downplaying, deflecting, and denying credit where it’s due. The episode highlights a growing disconnect between media narratives and the reality on the ground, both internationally and in American communities.

Panahi begins by describing the jubilant scenes in Israel: thank-you messages on Tel Aviv’s beaches, praise in leading newspapers, and Trump hats in the Knesset. Israelis are grateful to the leader who brought hostages home and brokered peace. Even CNN had to admit the widespread support, noting the abundance of MAGA hats in Hostage Square and the applause for Trump.

Yet, CNN anchor Jake Tapper tries to minimize the achievement, framing it as “just a ceasefire deal” and not a comprehensive peace agreement. Tapper’s insistence on focusing on what the deal isn’t, rather than what it is—a major breakthrough—betrays the network’s reluctance to give Trump his due.

The critique continues with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, who was forced to apologize for her insensitive comments about the treatment of Israeli hostages compared to Gazans. Panahi points out that such missteps are symptomatic of a broader unwillingness to hold Democrats accountable or to report fairly on Trump’s successes.

Democratic Congressman Jason Crow provides another example, refusing to give Trump any credit for the peace deal. Crow’s response—“I don’t trust Donald Trump”—reflects the bitterness and pettiness that Panahi sees as pervasive among Democratic leaders and their media allies.

Panahi highlights Trump’s own interactions with the media, including a pointed dismissal of a Politico reporter as “fake news.” Trump’s willingness to call out what he sees as activist journalism resonates with many Americans who feel mainstream outlets have abandoned impartiality.

The segment explores the phenomenon of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS), with examples from “The View,” where Alisa Farah reneged on her promise to wear a MAGA hat if Trump freed the Israeli hostages. Panahi notes that such refusals to acknowledge Trump’s achievements, even when promised, are emblematic of the left’s inability to move past personal animus.

She also examines the case of Bill Maher, who, despite years of anti-Trump rhetoric, has begun to show respect for Trump’s successes. Hollywood actor William H. Macy echoes this sentiment, admitting that Trump’s achievements cannot be denied, regardless of personal preference.

Sam Harris, once a vocal critic, is shown eating humble pie, acknowledging Trump’s positive impact in the Middle East and Israel. Yet, Panahi observes, Harris and others remain afflicted by TDS, unable to fully recognize the shift in reality.

Perhaps most compelling are the voices of ordinary Americans. Panahi shares testimony from a Memphis resident who credits Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops with making her neighborhood safe for the first time in years. Children play outside, gunshots have ceased, and the community feels secure—tangible evidence of Trump’s law-and-order policies working where they matter most.

Sky News contributor Kosha Ga adds that while Trump’s policies are controversial and draw media heat, they strike at the heart of his agenda and have strong grassroots support. The contrast between media luxury beliefs and the lived experiences of Americans in high-crime areas is stark.

The segment turns to Trump’s vision for Gaza: demilitarization, honest policing, and reconstruction funded by a coalition of Arab nations, rather than American taxpayers. Kosha Ga emphasizes the uniqueness of this cross-country, cross-religious coalition, which gives regional stakeholders real skin in the game and offers hope for lasting peace.

The inclusion of Muslim-majority countries like Indonesia is seen as vital for trust-building among Palestinians, moving away from the “Big Brother America” approach that has failed in the past.

Panahi notes the awkwardness of world leaders trying to claim a share of Trump’s achievement, including moments with the UK’s Karma, France’s Macron, and Canada’s Mark Carney. Despite attempts to steal the spotlight, it’s clear that Trump is the architect of this peace deal, with other leaders playing supporting roles at best.

Trump’s use of trade deals and tariffs as diplomatic tools is highlighted as an innovative and effective strategy, favoring negotiation over military intervention—a significant departure from previous administrations.

Even as Time Magazine features Trump on its cover for the peace deal, Panahi points out the petty choice of an unflattering photo, underscoring the media’s reluctance to offer genuine recognition. Nevertheless, the significance of the achievement cannot be denied.

Rita Panahi’s “Lefties Losing It” exposes the widening gap between progressive media coverage and the facts on the ground. CNN’s disgraceful coverage of Trump’s peace deal exemplifies a broader unwillingness to acknowledge transformative achievements, clinging instead to partisan narratives and personal grudges.

As Trump’s policies yield real results—from peace in the Middle East to safer American neighborhoods—the left’s refusal to credit him only serves to deepen public distrust of mainstream media. The episode ends with a call for honesty and humility: it’s time for those suffering from TDS to admit they were wrong and recognize the magnitude of what has been achieved.
