WHOA! CNN's Raju Presses Dem Senate Candidate on Her Deleted Tweets

We all know that the liberal media tends to protect its own, with Democrat and left wing guests getting a pass on their past statements and actions, and on follow-up questions to their claims, no matter how outrageous.

MS NOW's Medicaid 'Expert' Opposes Work Requirements ‘For Anything’

Sunday's The Weekend: Primetime on MS NOW included a predictable attack on Nebraska’s new Medicaid work requirements. Equally predictable was the "expert" MS NOW chose: NYU professor Sherry Glied — a former top Obama HHS official deeply involved in rolling out Obamacare. Only toward the end did Glied let the cat out of the bag: “It’s not a great idea, in my opinion, to have work…

NYT: Tucker Evolves from 'Most Racist' to Fascinating on Trump, Iran

In 2022 the New York Times ran an enormous three-part series eviscerating conservative host Tucker Carlson for nationalism and racism and being “Trump’s heir.” Now that he’s rejected his Trump birthright over the Iran War, Carlson can be rehabilitated by the paper as an anti-war, anti-Trump voice, with interviewer Lulu Garcia-Navarro recognizing Carlson as “an object of a lot of…

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.

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.
