Burnett Welcomes Cobb To Compare CNN’s WH Ban To Hitler, Stalin
19th September 2026
When CNN’s Erin Burnett wants to offer up a hot take, she launders it through former Trump lawyer-turned anti-Trump doomsday prophet Ty Cobb. Earlier this week, Burnett welcomed Cobb to spread baseless conspiracy theories about the upcoming midterms, while in August, she invited Cobb to compare the Trump DOJ to a cast of Nazis. This Friday, Cobb was more diverse in his dictator analogies as he suggested Trump’s effort to ban CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House was part of a Hitlerian, Stalinist, and Putinist dream to shut them down altogether.
Burnett began by putting the ball on the tee, “I want to go now to Ty Cobb. He’s a former Trump White House lawyer. Ty, from a legal standpoint, does Trump have any basis to ban CNN, MS NOW, Politico? And he says more to come from the White House.”
