CNN’s Department of Dumb Ideas Strikes Again!
13th August 2025
CNN is a seemingly endless fount of dumb ideas.
Yesterday, we caught a CNN correspondent recommending that if Anas Al-Sharif was a Hamas terrorist, instead of killing him, the IDF should have asked Al Jazeera to fire him!
Today, it was CNN contributor and former NPR host Lulu Garcia-Navarro’s turn. Criticizing Trump’s use of federal agents to supplement DC police, Garcia-Navarro said the real solution to “girl brawls” is to have “better social media policies and better money for schools.”
So, limit teens to 15 minutes a day on TikTok, perhaps? Yup, that’ll bring girl brawls and other crime by the city’s ‘yuts’ to a screeching halt! Assuming you could even enforce such policies: “Sergeant, we just tracked a girl at Union Station who’s been on TikTok for 27 minutes. Get a SWAT team over there: STAT!”
As for spending “better money for schools,” in 2022-23, guess which school district ranked #1 in the country in per pupil spending? Yup! And the returns on that lavish spending have been dismal. In 2024, two-thirds of students failed to read at grade level, and almost 80% failed to reach grade level in math. Entrusting even more money to the tender mercies of the teachers’ union isn’t going to fix the problem.
