AP Avoids C-Word ('Communist') in Story on Cuban Ration Shortages

Once prosperous, Cuba now faces severe shortages, with ration books offering little as store shelves sit empty. While AP covers the hardship, it avoids mentioning the main cause: decades of communism. Once abundant goods have vanished, leaving Cubans to struggle in a crumbling socialist system where even basic items must often be bought with U.S. dollars.

Scott Jennings: Olbermann Only Calling for My Firing Is an Improvement

Liberal podcaster Keith Olbermann once called for him to be murdered, but now he only wants him to be fired – and that’s a movement in the “right direction,” conservative commentator Scott Jennings said in an interview Monday.

SUNDAY SHOW OMISSION ROUNDUP: Mexico, Minnesota, and (Mostly) Platner

The Elitist Media’s Sunday shows run a tight choreography, avoiding certain uncomfortable and inconvenient subjects in near unison. If it doesn’t fuel Trump derangement, it doesn’t run. The result being that many important political stories don’t get discussed because they might lead to the “wrong” kind of political discussion.

MS NOW: SCOTUS Ruling Shows Black Voters Have No 'Rights It Respects'

On last night’s The Weekend: Primetime on MS NOW, legal analyst and law professor Paul Butler delivered an astonishing assessment of the Supreme Court’s recent decision on the Voting Rights Act. Analogizing it to the Dred Scott decision, Butler made the absurd claim: “It’s like the Dred Scott decision, where the Court said that the black man has no rights that the…

CNN Panel Rips Trump For Violent Rhetoric, Democrat Hot Takes Ignored

Last weekend's attempted shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner reignited the liberal media's political rhetoric/violence blame game, as they looked to pin it all on Donald Trump and the right, of course. That M.O. was in full swing on the opening segment of CNN's The Arena Saturday.

SURPRISE! PolitiFact Finally Tags a Dem 'False,' & Trump 'Mostly True'

On the very last day of April, PolitiFact finally dared to upset their liberal donors and found a Democrat to be “Mostly False” for the first time in 2026. The day before brought another shocker: PolitiFact rated a Trump claim as "Mostly True," the first rating on the True side since October 2024.

NY Times Panics: Supreme Court Banished 'Seatbelt of Our Democracy'

The New York Times reacted badly to the Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling in vote in Louisiana v. Callais that struck down racial gerrymandering to insure black voters have the best chance to elect black representatives to Congress. Political reporter Nick Corasaniti, long-obsessed with so-called GOP “voter suppression,” went dramatic in “Voting Rights Ruling Could Fuel Era of…

Abrams on MS NOW: 'Racist Fascist' Republicans Bringing Back Jim Crow

On Saturday’s The Weekend on MS NOW, Stacey Abrams was given the full VIP treatment. Co-host Eugene Daniels introduced her as “Madam Leader,” and the panel kept the unctuous title going throughout the segment — even though her time as minority leader in the Georgia House ended nine years ago. Abrams accused Republicans of trying to “legalize the restoration of Jim Crow,” compared the…

PBS Student Journalists Find ‘Queer Joy’ in Columbia, Missouri

Discover the grit and tenacity behind this thriving queer oasis in the heart of the Show Me state!” LGBTQ Nation, perhaps? Nope: The story is from the PBS…

Battle Over Iran War Turns Ugly As Rude Liberal Pushes Jennings

If you are a regular viewer of CNN, you are probably used to seeing the network's Sr. Political Commentator Scott Jennings appear on various shows, usually as the lone conservative voice on a panel stacked with left-wingers, who can get testy with him at times over his views, but tend to treat him with expected respect. There are however exceptions, and one of those occurred Thursday…

ABC, WashPost Hype Pope Appointing Former Illegal Immigrant Bishop

With the help of The Washington Post, Saturday Good Morning America co-host Gio Benitez brought back ABC’s habit of hyping actions by Pope Leo if it could help them in a shot at Trump. This time, the news revolved around a new bishop in West Virginia who used to be an illegal immigrant and is naturally a Trump critic.
