OUCH: Fox’s Melugin Bodies Liberal Journo Over Biden’s Border Crisis
Fox national correspondent Bill Melugin — arguably the country’s foremost border reporter (alongside NewsNation’s Ali Bradley and the New York Post’s Jennie Taer) — absolutely cooked Axios’s Russell Contreras on Friday morning in reaction to this toolish tweet seeking to defend President Biden’s handling of the border crisis: “SCOOP: U.S. agents arrested more than 21,000 unauthorized…
Elitist Krugman: Low-Income Trumpers Lack 'Sophisticated View' on $$$
If PBS wants to combat accusations that the tax-funded news network is a haven for smug elitist politics (PBS, where even the conservatives are liberal!), Thursday night’s segment featuring former New York Times columnist and (once) respected economist Paul Krugman wasn’t the way to go about it. Krugman really leaned into his natural unlikability in the remote interview with PBS’s…
CBS’s Crawford to Liberals: No, We’re Not in a Constitutional Crisis
Three days after CBS Mornings Plus shacked up with the rest of the liberal media’s manufactured narrative about the country either in the midst of or about to enter “a constitutional crisis,” CBS’s longtime Supreme Court correspondent Jan Crawford showed up on Friday’s show to burst the bubble of liberals that we are not, in fact, in a state of chaos.
Behar Claims Trump Threatening to Kill the Families of GOP Lawmakers
The confirmations of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to HHS and Tulsi Gabbard to DNI sent ABC News’s Joy Behar over the edge during Friday’s edition of The View. She became so unhinged that she cooked up an unfounded conspiracy theory that the reason so many GOP lawmakers had voted to confirm President Trump’s nominees was because he was threatening to kill their them and their families. And…
Mary Bruce Files incoherent Resistance Report Over Layoffs, Tariffs
After a few weeks of Shock and Awe, the Resistance vibe has fully returned to ABC Whirled News Tonight. A goofy item by Chief White House correspondent Mary Bruce demonstrates that the media have no playbook for Trump except the one they ran in 2017.
Reid's Latest Trump Freak Out: 'Fascists Are Terrified Of The Arts'
MSNBC’s Joy Reid's habit of taking everything to eleven on the outrage scale continued on Thursday’s edition of The ReidOut as she suggested Nazi programming might be coming to The Kennedy Center after President Trump appointed himself the Center’s chairman. Additionally, Reid declared that the reason why Trump appointed himself is because “fascists are terrified of the arts.”
Republican To Sciutto: 'Are You Asking Questions Or Are You On Panel?'
It was an iconic moment in the annals of the liberal media being called out in real time over its transparent bias. Kudos to Brad Todd for tearing off Jim Sciutto's fig leaf [an unenviable task!] and revealing him as the liberal activist he is. On today's CNN This Morning, Sciutto, subbing for Kasie Hunt, persistently argued with Todd over the Justice Department's order to New York's Southern…
Psaki Tells Stewart 'Threat Of Fascism is a Huge Issue'
Former White House Press Secretary and current MSNBC host Jen Psaki joined Jon Stewart on Thursday's episode of Comedy Central’s The Weekly Show podcast to try to figure out why Democrats lost in November. On one hand, Psaki claimed the party’s focus on the potential end of democracy is partly to blame, but on the other, she couldn’t let such rhetoric go as she claimed “the threat of…

Column: David Brooks, Exhibit A in PBS Avoiding Real Conservatives
One of the reasons I have long inveighed against “public” TV is its tendency to avoid authentic conservative opinion. For almost 20 years now, Exhibit A has been PBS News Hour pundit David Brooks. PBS picked up David Brooks as its supposedly right-leaning Friday night opinionator in 2004, shortly after he became a New York Times columnist in 2003.
CBS Compares Potential Ukraine Peace Deal to 1938 Hitler Appeasement
Our colleague Curtis Houck’s earlier writeup of the new but not improved CBS Evening News suggests that the ongoing turmoil is driven by the newscast’s new format, editorial choices, and anchor delivery. Tonight’s report on efforts to end the war in Ukraine confirms that thesis.
Despite Defamation Suit, MSNBC Bloviates About ‘Big and Garish Lies’
MSNBC may have taken their self-assured and self-righteous obliviousness to their own shortcomings to a whole new level of irony on Wednesday night’s episode of The 11th Hour, The show’s discussion panel railed against their perception of a trend of mass-misinformation by non-mainstream media sources, but seemed quite oblivious to very serious defamation charges pending against them…
Scott Turner’s Turn-Around Job at HUD
Scott Turner, former state legislator, NFL player and pastor from Plano, Texas, will take over as the new Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Given that the history of HUD is about everything that Donald Trump wants to change in Washington, Turner has a great challenge and opportunity. That is, HUD is all about government.
VIDEO: Corporate Media Think Everything Is a ‘Constitutional Crisis’
Democrats and their corporate media allies like to quietly redefine political terms to suit their needs. Threats to “democracy” are really threats to the entrenched, unaccountable, left-of-center bureaucracy; “misinformation,” along with its “dis-” and “mal-” cousins, is any fact or narrative that is inconvenient for the political left; and basically anyone or anything who runs afoul of the…
