Today’s Boogeyman Is Elon Musk
As a child I frequently visited relatives in southern Indiana. A great uncle tried to keep me from exploring his cellar (as they were called then) by telling me the boogeyman was down there and would “get you” if I descended the stairs. It worked. Boogeymen are nothing new. They have existed in the form of politicians going back to the founding of the country. See how Thomas Jefferson…
Networks Get Weak Knees Over Dem Senator Cory Booker’s Fake Filibuster
Between Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, the major broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC were head over heels for Senator Cory Booker’s (D-NJ) 25-hour-long, “marathon” act of chicanery “speaking in a protest” against Trump and “shin[ning] a spotlight on” his “rapid fire and controversial actions” through “the little bit of power and influence” they have in Washington. At one point, one anchor…
Editor’s Pick: Free Beacon on Warnock’s Lavish House Church Bought Him
2023 MRC Bulldog Award for Outstanding Investigative Journalism winner Andrew Kerr penned a blockbuster piece Monday morning in the Washington Free Beacon that revealed far-left Senator Raphael Warnock (D-GA) lives in $1 million home DeKalb County, Georgia without having every owed a penny thanks “to Ebenezer Baptist Church, where he still serves as part-time senior pastor when he's not…
Broadcast Networks IGNORE Rep. Crockett Allegedly Assaulting Reporter
Democratic Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) keeps doing newsworthy things — but, curiously, receiving basically no headlines. Despite Crockett’s busy week of calling for violence against Republican Senator Ted Cruz (TX), referring to wheelchair-bound Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) s “Governor Hot Wheels,” and allegedly assaulting a reporter, the Congresswoman has not been the subject of…
PBS, NPR Cover Their Own Bosses, Downplay Ridiculous Bias Denial
PBS and NPR each faced the difficulty on Wednesday night of covering their own bosses taking tough questions from Republicans at the Capitol in a hearing on Wednesday. PBS actually aired a Republican citing us -- just as a "conservative media watchdog group."
Gaslighting: PBS Tries to Refute Bias Claims Before House Testimony
Before Wednesday’s congressional testimony from the heads of PBS and NPR in front of the House Subcommittee on Delivering Government Efficiency (DOGE), PBS’s flagship news show News Hour offered up some gaslighting on Tuesday evening in defense of the program’s political objectivity and balance -- a laughable proposition to anyone who has watched an episode.
Here Are the Top Moments from the DOGE Hearing on Defunding NPR & PBS

CNN, MSNBC Morning Shows Rush to Celebrate Far-Left Mobs at Town Halls
If you tuned into CNN and/or MSNBC on Thursday morning, the message was clear based on their coverage of supposed “anger” at congressional Republicans over the Trump agenda and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and hits from the left at Democratic town halls: Blue wave incoming! Nevermind these protests at GOP town halls — including one Wednesday night they were warm and…
PBS Host Pushes Schumer to Be 'Tactically Ruthless' Like Republicans
On Wednesday’s PBS NewsHour, co-host Geoff Bennett conducted a 13-minute interview with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, and it was challenging – from the Left.
Networks Go Gaga for New Angry, Far-Left Mob Invading a GOP Town Hall
On Friday morning, the “Big Three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC giddily promoted Thursday’s attempted town hall by western North Carolina GOP Congressman Chuck Edwards that was derailed by “democracy in action” and “frustration” from “heated” voters who are “very loudly and very clearly” unhappy with the Trump administration. This was passed off as organic instead of wholly partisan in which…
Before Caving, ABC Was Set to Blame GOP for Possible Gov’t Shutdown
In desperate need of air cover, ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Today (to a lesser extent) rush to the side of Democrats as they remain strongly opposed to a Republican-crafted continuing resolution to keep the government open. Before Senate Democrats caved to a cloture vote, they looked to pin a possible government shutdown Friday night on the GOP for refusing to write…
NY Times: 'G.O.P.’s Latest Move to Use Transgender People as Leverage'
New York Times House GOP-beat reporter (and frequent MSNBC presence) Annie Karni took the most cynical possible view of House Republicans attempt to protect women from men competing against them in sports in Wednesday’s edition, “Democrats Block Measure on Transgender Girls and Sports.” By contrast, the filibustering Democrats who apparently want biological males to invade female…
