Comedian and actor Bill Burr recently decimated cable TV news outlets, with a particular focus on CNN, calling them all “f***ing morons.”
Burr took no prisoners in his comments on his “Monday Morning” podcast.
Bill Burr slammed CNN for its coverage of Donald Trump this week.
"They’re f*cking treasonous un-American pieces of sh*t, just like Fox News, MSNBC, just like all of them." https://t.co/r9nCrXerJj

Burr began his tirade by noting that when his mother-in-law comes over to his home to babysit his children that she watches CNN.
Isn’t it always mothers-in-law?
“And do you know what those f***ing morons are doing? Do you know what those f***ing morons are doing? They’re f***ing talking about Trump,” Burr said of CNN’s anchors.
“I swear to god. I cannot believe people watch that channel,” Burr added. “They’re so dumb.”
Burr then said he believes these anchors secretly want Trump back because they “have nothing to talk about.”
Polls reveal that Burr isn’t kidding.
Ratings at anti-Trump networks like CNN and MSNBC have fallen precipitously since the 45th President left office.
“Joe Biden is a f***ing bore!” Burr exclaimed. But he added that CNN hosts “can’t b***h about” President Joe Biden because “he’s wearing a blue tie,” implying that CNN is a Democrat-friendly outlet.
“So now what do they do?” Burr said of the media obsessing over Trump. “They’re doing what they did the first time to get this guy elected by giving him all this free coverage while they act like they allegedly don’t like him.”
Burr then blasted everyone.
“I don’t buy it,” Burr insisted. “They are a corporate news channel.”
The comedian unloaded. “They’re f***ing treasonous un-American pieces of s**t. Just like Fox News, MSNBC, just like all of them.”
Burr then launched into a story about exercising at the gym when CNN was on TV. He asked someone, “Can you turn the f***ing channel?”
"I just wish they'd get rid of CNN, Fox News, and the ability to leave a comment on the internet" - @billburr

Burr didn’t like what he sees as CNN’s constant negativity, particularly 24 hour coverage of the California fires and COVID-19 pandemic.
“They made it seem like all of California was on fire,” Burr said. “Then they go, ‘Now let’s talk COVID, the numbers are up.’ What is their f***ing deal on those channels? Don’t they have any idea what kind of what they’re doing to you psychologically?”
“How about a positive story?” Burr begged.
