CNN’s Abby Phillip is So Close to Finally Getting it: ‘Elites Increasingly Talk Only to Each Other’ (VIDEO)

CNN’s Abby Phillip appears to be inching closer to the ongoing problem on the left of living in an elitist echo chamber.
While speaking at the Harvard Kennedy School’s Institute of Politics this week, Phillips said that she has noticed that liberal elites tend to talk only to each other and risk falling into groupthink.
This is one of the main reasons why people on the left were once again, completely unprepared for a Trump victory on election night. Leftists spent the entire election listening only to outlets like CNN and MSNBC which told them that the race was close and that we wouldn’t know the outcome for days.
Phillips is making baby steps towards the truth here.
Abby Phillip: “I have observed that elites increasingly talk only to each other and come to believe that because there is consensus among them that that consensus is shared broadly and there are not enough voices that are confident enough to disagree and to present alternatives.
We as a society need to find better ways to uplift divergent voices. Otherwise, we will be victims of groupthink.
And there is a there there is an activist class. And this is particularly acute in the Democratic Party right now. There is an activist class in the Democratic Party that is multiracial, multiethnic.
It is diverse, but it’s an activist class. And so because of that, they don’t they’re not able to see outside of that.
Democrats are in that place now where they have to break out of it. And I think it is a real problem. It’s not as simple as wokeness or whatever. It’s about people who are being incentivized to think about issues in a particular way.
And usually it’s it’s that light switches either on or off, right? It’s no nuance. There’s no nuance. Right. Because they they’re activists like they’re paid to kind of be in this lane.
There needs to be more courage among people to speak out and to voice diverging opinions. Otherwise, you know, I think it’s a I think it’s a real issue. And it’s not just the Ivy League.”

DOOM SPIRAL: The Liberal Washington Post is on Track to Lose a Whopping $77 Million This Year
November 20, 2024
The liberal newspaper the Washington Post is losing money at a record pace. They’re projected to lose a whopping $77 million this year alone and that was before they lost a ton of subscribers when owner Jeff Bezos decided not to endorse Kamala Harris in the 2024 election.
How could such an institution, such an iconic brand be losing so much money? Maybe it has something to do with WaPo columnists like Jen Rubin, who recently declared that Republicans want to kill your children.
Liberal media outlets are suffering decline across the board right now, but these numbers from the Washington Post are indicative of a doom spiral.
Washington Post set to lose $77 million this year even before boycott erupted over non-endorsement: Report
The Washington Post was already in financial trouble even before the recent boycott movement that erupted against the paper.
A report from New York Magazine’s Intelligencer shed light on a recent meeting at The Post newsroom where the top brass revealed that the paper was on pace to lose a whopping $77 million this year, a figure that does not even include the staggering 250,000 subscribers it lost over its last-minute decision by billionaire owner Jeff Bezos to not endorse Vice President Kamala Harris in the final days of the presidential race.
“[It’s] not a surprise at all,” one Post staffer told Fox News Digital in reaction to the report. “It means ‘buckle up.’”
Notably, the $77 million in reported losses mirrors the exact figure Washington Post publisher Will Lewis said in May the paper lost over the prior year.
The Intelligencer cited other staffers, one saying “The level of anger is through the roof, and fear is also through the roof.”
It appears that the only thing keeping the Washington Post afloat at this point is the fact that Bezos is a billionaire.
The Washington Post is losing $77 million a year. It appears to survive in its current form based on Bezos’ bottomless pockets.

Rob Reiner has posted his first message to X / Twitter following Kamala Harris’ loss to President-elect Donald Trump two weeks ago. In his brief message, he urged the left to build a “competitive information distribution system” to combat “disinformation” — a baffling suggestion since the left already controls the vast majority of the corporate news media and nearly all online search engines.
On Wednesday, Reiner also pushed the “50 state strategy” that would have Democrat elites attempt to make all 50 states blue in the next presidential election.
Now that America has elected a Convicted Felon with Authoritarian proclivities, I fear that Democracy’s return won’t be any time soon. The long term solutions are daunting. Democrats need to re adopt the 50 state strategy. And most importantly, a competitive information…
Now that America has elected a Convicted Felon with Authoritarian proclivities, I fear that Democracy’s return won’t be any time soon. The long term solutions are daunting. Democrats need to re adopt the 50 state strategy. And most importantly, a competitive information distribution system must be built to combat the massive disinformation currently being fed to the American people.
All the left’s talk about the importance of ‘our democracy’ really meant that it’s only democracy if Democrats win. We all knew this, but it’s nice to get this confirmation from Reiner. We probably won’t be hearing much from him in the immediate future because like many people on the left, Reiner has run away to the liberal echo chamber of Bluesky.
Trump Announces Pete Hoekstra as Nominee for U.S. Ambassador to Canada
November 20, 2024
Former President Donald Trump revealed that Pete Hoekstra, a seasoned statesman and stalwart ally of the MAGA movement, has been nominated to serve as the United States Ambassador to Canada under a potential second Trump administration.
Prior to this nomination, Hoekstra served as the U.S. ambassador to the Netherlands during Trump’s first term.
Trump released the following statement:
I am very pleased to announce that former Ambassador, and former Congressman, Pete Hoekstra, has been nominated as my United States Ambassador to Canada. Pete is well-respected in the Great State of Michigan – A State we won sizably.
He represented Michigan’s 2nd District in Congress for nearly 20 years, where he was also Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, and was a great help to our Campaign as Chairman of the Michigan Republican Party.
I overhauled the disastrous NAFTA Agreement, the worst Trade Deal in the History of the United States, which was switched to the USMCA (Mexico/Canada), which no one thought could be done.
We brought Trade with Mexico and Canada to a level playing field for our wonderful Farmers and Working Families. In my Second Term, Pete will help me once again put AMERICA FIRST.
He did an outstanding job as United States Ambassador to the Netherlands during our first four years, and I am confident that he will continue to represent our Country well in this new role. Thank you, Pete!
Hoekstra’s political career began with his service as a U.S. Congressman. He was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1993 to 2011, during which time he also chaired the House Intelligence Committee.
His leadership roles extended to the Michigan Republican Party, where he served as chairman and played a significant role in the 2024 election cycle, aiding Trump’s victory in Michigan.
