We are coming up on Patriot’s Day, April 19, and the one year anniversary of RFKJr’s announcement in Boston. I was there w my son on his 25th bday. What a day!! There is a lot to complain about regarding mainstream media and mainstream party treatment of Bobby’s campaign over the last twelve months. For sure. But, a year ago I was an enthusiastic supporter who lent support, money, enthusiasm, and reputation without much expectation that RFKJr could make it one full year and still be standing. The fear that paranoia and power would devour him, swamp him, smother him made me say to my son and others, I just want him to put some of the issues on the table so we can begin to claw back our rights and freedoms and responsibilities. He doesn’t have to win. Just run. Just survive.

So I am going to say we have survived and getting on the Burnett show is a huge step up in that CNN is paying attention. This is a limited victory. And we will get more.

May there be more exploding brain matter, as folk freak out. May rats jump ship. May those who derided RFKJr as a conspiracy theorist find their critical thinking caps and come on board to work for a fair and fine new America!

Well said. What I don't understand is how the critics don't acknowledge that with all the books Bobby has written, meticulously researched, telling the truth about pharma, Fauci and vaccines, that he has never been sued for slander, etc. If it was conspiracy and lies he would have been taken to court and thrown in jail and bankrupted. No one will sue him because the truth will come out in court and they know it. So they try to ignore him. Thank you, Bobby, for not going away and giving up. You are our best chance to end the insanity!

May RFK Jr. NOT turn out to be yet another iteration of :

A politician willing to promise their soul to us, the MIC/CIA/*** powers that be for a shot at the big time- and so, now ready to be given a pass to be publicly acknowledged as "really in the race" by our wholly owned MSM.

Because if it looks too good to be true, it ain't true.

'Burnett repeatedly tried to insinuate that a vote for Kennedy is a vote for Trump, whom she regards as a threat to democracy.'

I'm not a very sophisticated observer, but even I can see this is the Democratic strategy, to reinforce the long-standing cultural tradition that a third-party vote is a wasted vote, and in this case will even be a vote for Trump. This was made painfully obvious by the neW York Times interview last week.

I think it's time we got over that belief, which only serves to strengthen the entrenched and ossified two-party system.

Yes, but we need 55M citizens reading this substack not 55, and I would be surprised if 55k watch Erin Burnett. I didn't even know she still had a show on CNN, though definitely glad RFK was on it and did psychic damage to Tapper.

I still would like to see one so called journalist ask original questions instead of the same questions that have been asked of Robert and answered by him again and again. It is clear that Burnett is just another Democrat who was trying to make points with the Biden administration. What did she explore that hasn't been explored again and again? And why do journalists insist on ignoring it when the point has been made but continue to brow beat anyway? It is frustrating and demoralizing to watch. Robert, however, remains steadfast in the face of MSM nonsense.

Think of the people who only watch one show. They might not have seen all those other interviews where the same questions were asked. I don't think it's wasted effort.

That said, it would be nice to see a little more independent thinking among journalists.

I totally agree, thank you for articulating my thoughts so well.

Good to see RFK Jr on Big Pharma TV - aka. CNN..

Amazing what a low life Biden is still denying Secret Service protection...

GodBless RFK Jr/ NS and their Security Team...

RFK Jr. advanced into dicey territory on CNN. That said, I'm glad the network ignored Tapper and had Kennedy on. The more venues the better, even under hostile fire.

The reason the Democrat National Committee needs to have people such as Lis Smith to interpret RFK's pick of Nicole Shanahan is that the DNC's only purpose in public is to promote their own narratives. But, you may ask, why do they need someone to promote their narratives when the news agencies are already captive to the DNC's ideas? It's to present the illusion that the DNC is separate from any mass media institution. In reality, they control all of them.

CNN sucks so bad. Not a single independent, curious thought in any brain over there.

I love your opinions and humor, Mr. Conte, thank you for saying so beautifully what we're thinking!

Another balanced piece exposing the fake news CNN.

"Rumor is that Tapper’s head exploded somewhere near the staff cafeteria late yesterday afternoon, shortly after Kennedy’s interview.

We wish Mr. Tapper a speedy recovery and are comforted by the knowledge that CNN advertises a drug for that very condition every 15 minutes."

These two sentences are timely and hilarious.

A wonderful accurate take down of the fake news.

I was looking closely at poll numbers for both two way and five way races on real clear politics earlier. Some two way polls are only adding up to about 85% or less. Other two-way polls add up to the high 90s or even exactly 100%. I suspect that some of the polling organizations are only reporting results in the two-way races where somebody picked one of the two candidates and excluding those from the calculation who picked a generic other or declined to pick anybody. In other words, many of these so-called two-way polls are manipulating the denominator to make it seem that in a race with no third-party candidates, everybody would be comfortable with either a Republican or a Democrat. I think they're just leaving out a big chunk of those they asked to make a choice the same way pharmaceutical companies leave out research studies that don't support their product when making an application to the FDA. I'm beginning to think that there's a pool of about 15 to 20% of the population who would pick a generic other or decline to pick a candidate if given that opportunity in a so-called two-way poll. When you shift to a five way poll, I think that Biden is losing a few percentage points to a combination of West and Stein, while Bobby is actually snagging all of the true independents when the opportunity is available to make a choice. So, he's not actually taking many votes from either Trump or Biden. He has his own dedicated following.

"Deficits don't matter." Does Mr. Kennedy know why? I shall explain. It's because the Federal Reserve buys government debt that can't be sold on the open market and adds it to its multi-trillion-dollar "balance sheet." They refund the interest and call the whole process "quantitative easing." This is what has kept the government from bankruptcy for the last five years. Any other questions?

SHHHHH!!! Here in the world of the Tinkerbell economy, you must BELIEVE in the economy, or it DIES.

I’m not convinced these people are aware a different perspective exists, like RFK’s and his supporters. The best and the brightest don’t need to be in the public spotlight, so they humbly perform miracles on the sideline. Thank god for the sideline!

Enjoyed the snark about useful idiot Tapper and overall article about CNN. I'm guessing Burnett drew the short straw. The more he's seen, the more folks drawn away from the imbecile in the WH.

Voices in support of him are now everywhere, they couldn't keep him in the shadows but their attempts to do that only made people more curious about him.
