I regret to inform you that the mainstream press is upset again, and this time it's for a reason that will have you doing a double-take.

Unable to focus on actual issues that Americans care about, the freak-out over Donald Trump's second term has continued to escalate. Enter CNN, which may have just produced the greatest image in cable news history, and I don't say that lightly. 

The background involves a group of young staffers at the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Left-wing, dark-money-funded "news" outlet ProPublica recently released a report detailing them, with one being identified as 19 years old. Naturally, that's made the party that wants to lower the voting age to 16 very upset. After all, how could young people possibly know anything?

Regardless, CNN decided to do a segment on the aforementioned 19-year-old DOGE member, with the claim being made that he once went by the moniker "Big Balls" online.

REPORTER: Yeah, so this is a 19-year-old high school graduate who has used the unfortunate name "Big Balls" online so that would be one way that we could refer to him. He's now working at Musk's behest inside DOGE, and we looked into his background so we found several notable things, Erin, one of which is that this individual has founded multiple companies including one with another unfortuate name, "Tesla.Sexxy LLC," which he established in 2021. He would have been around 16 years old. This LLC controls dozens of web domains. 

I know I'm supposed to be a mature commentator on very serious issues, but I can't help but laugh at this. Instead of digging into whether DOGE is accomplishing its mission to save Americans money, CNN and ProPublica are worrying about whether a data analyst once called himself "Big Balls" online. Is there any wonder CNN's ratings are in the toilet and ProPublica has to subsist off donor cash? 

Things got funnier, though. Host Erin Burnett then brought on left-wing tech reporter Kara Swisher, who has long had it out for Elon Musk, to discuss this very important, pressing matter. That's when this happened.

The looks on their faces. The chyron boldly reading, "DOGE Teen, Known Online As 'Big Balls,' Now an 'Expert.'" It's simply a piece of art. If the "Newseum" still existed in Washington (it went out of business because no one cares about the supposed heroics of the legacy press), that screenshot would warrant its own exhibit. Everything about it is absurd, including the insinuation that what somebody called themselves online when they were a kid is a scandal.

What makes this so perfect is just how deeply concerned these press apparatchiks pretend to be. These are the same people who have never spent an ounce of energy worrying about the waste and corruption within the federal government when Democrats are in charge. Let Trump appoint a few people to root out that waste and corruption, though, and suddenly, it's a national emergency for CNN and the rest of the legacy media.

No one believes any of this is sincere. It's all partisan politics, and if the press thinks they can scare DOGE off the trail by doxxing its members, they are sorely mistaken.
