Rooting for bad things to happen to your adversaries isn't unusual. But when Rush Limbaugh said "I hope he fails" about incoming President Obama in 2009, leftists suggested he should be executed for treason. Now, people are talking about vandalism against Elon Musk's Tesla vehicles and dealerships, and crowds cheer and laugh as the Tesla stock price sinks. The double standard is obvious, with…

In a recent email, DC PBS station WETA sent an email to donors still squeezing good will out of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. We're told "public media belongs to you," and PBS believes in sharing "the good that we know is in one another." Anyone who watches PBS or listens to NPR knows this isn't true.

Karoline Leavitt announced she's not attending the White House Correspondents Dinner, which looks like an even better decision after the journalists ripped Trump and Musk and Hegseth at the "Gridiron Club" dinner. Journalists complain about Trump "curtailing media access," which is ludicrous compared to how much access reporters were given to President Biden.

Why are the media so hostile to Israel and so sympathetic to pro-Hamas activists? Why should America stick with Israel as an ally in global geopolitics? MRC Business editor Joseph Vazquez and I asked Josh Hammer, author of the new book Israel and Civilization.

We've reached the five-year anniversary of when the U.S. government locked down the country to curb the Covid pandemic. It lasted much longer than "Two weeks to stop the spread." CBS and PBS explored the anniversary, but there were no apologies for getting so much of the "science" wrong and using the pandemic so mercilessly against Trump and Republican governors in an election year. 

As much as liberals want to embarrass conservatives for questioning the "Clean Air Act" or the "Civil Rights Act," it might be time to ask liberals and the media why they are so opposed to Donald Trump and Elon Musk working on the goal of  "Government Efficiency." Senior Research Analyst Bill D'Agostino talks about his latest videos.

It's not often that we associate leakers within the government with criminals -- often, they're just frustrated liberals. But leaking the location of potential ICE raids or leaking American troop locations endangers the safety of Americans. Are reporters going to defend these kinds of leaks? 

What a difference a year makes. Associate Editor Nick Fondacaro and I compared the liberal media’s reactions to Joe Biden’s final State of the Union last year to Tuesday night’s address to Congress by President Trump and found a surprising change from fawnings (in the case of Ol’ Joe) to exhaustion. Sure, they hated Trump’s speech, ranging from his policies to his showmanship with ordinary…

Who let this happen on Saturday Night Live? Comedian Shane Gillis uncorked a monologue that mocked Joe Biden's cognitive fitness, liberal moral arrogance, and PBS documentary star Ken Burns as making dreadfully boring films. Plus some of the latest hatred of DOGE.

NPR CEO Katherine Maher came for a 15-minute interview at a Semafor summit on "trust in media," but it was a softball session. Instead of being pressed on NPR's liberal tilt, Semafor reporter Maxwell Tani was incredibly vague: "What have you done in your first year to build or restore trust in NPR?" I was in the room, and suppressed the desire to yell about the answer (and the question).

They called it a "bombshell" on Tuesday, when Trump press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced they were going to take the credentialing and pooling powers away from the liberal press. Liberals screamed, conservatives cheered. New York Times reporter Peter Baker tweeted "this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given…

The new boss of MSNBC not only canceled The Reidout and Alex Wagner Tonight, she also ended the weekend shows of Ayman Mohyeldin, Katie Phang, and Jonathan Capehart. Is anything really going to change -- other than Joy Reid's visibility? Is Symone Sanders much "safer" for MSNBC? Or is it just rearranging the host furniture?

Elon Musk wielded a chainsaw at CPAC, striking a pose next to Argentina’s president Javier Milei. The networks really hate Elon Musk for trying to reduce government in any way. "Public" broadcasters are incredibly anti-Musk, since they are dreading the DOGE wagon pulling up to PBS and NPR.

Reporters are in a dither than Team Trump's committing a "naked violation of the First Amendment" by denying access to the Associated Press. The liberal blob didn't react this way when Team Biden obstructed access to the New York Post in their time. The AP in no way should be presented as nonpartisan or "the gold standard of neutrality."
