Here’s a sample of what the news cycle had to offer as Jim presented this edition of the News Round-Up:

–CNN has crafted the worst possible week leading up to what they would call the most watched program on CNN in years, and it didn’t exactly have a stellar reception at the initial announcement.  CNN’s choice for its first two moderators (Jake Tapper and Dana Bash) have consistently expressed open disdain for former President Trump.

–“X” owner Elon Musk confirmed he would ignore CNN’s demands to block or remove live streams of the presidential debate.
