Yesterday we told you about CNN's Dana Bash and other panelists<a href="https://twitchy.com/brettt/2025/02/18/cnn-links-string-of-plane-accidents-to-trump-cutting-faa-safety-specialists-n2408551" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">&nbsp;dutifully running with the Democrats' preferred talking points</a> about recent plane crashes (one of which didn't even happen in the U.S.) to try and make it sound like Trump and DOGE making some federal cuts had something to do with the accidents.&nbsp;

There's a slightly longer clip that makes Bash's hackery even more obvious.&nbsp;

Bash was coming out of an interview with an aviation expert who said there's no connection, but that didn't stop her from pushing that narrative. "Ridiculous hacks" incoming:&nbsp;

Bash quoted the aviation expert's comments and then went on to go back to making it about Trump.&nbsp;

"People may connect the dots" -- especially if these people keep making the connection for them even if there is no connection.&nbsp;

 {ai:summary}<p>CNN's Dana Bash and other panelists have been criticized for linking recent plane crashes to Trump and federal cuts, despite an aviation expert stating there is no connection. Bash continued to suggest a narrative of blame, even after acknowledging the expert's comments.</p><p>Critics argue that this approach is a predictable tactic to shift responsibility onto the former president without evidence. The discussion reflects ongoing tensions in media reporting and political narratives. #politics</p>
