Immigration

When Donald Trump was indicted in March of 2023, the corporate media spent the next thirteen months up until his conviction smugly reminding everyone within earshot that “no one is above the law.” Yet these same supposed journalists are now expressing disgust and outrage at the arrest of leftwing politicians and judges who quite clearly appear to have broken the law.

The arrest of Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan under charges of helping an illegal alien evade ICE arrest drew national attention, particularly on legacy media where the matter was presented as proof evident of an escalation by President Trump. But it appears that there is far less interest in covering the indictment of Judge Dugan in federal court.

I go solo in this episode of the NewsBusters Podcast to call out the liberal media’s hypocrisy in condemning the 59 refugees from South Africa (because they’re white), while at the same time get hyped about possibly using and abusing Pope Leo XIV as a cudgel against the political right in America. I also examine “comedian” John Oliver’s ignorance of the meaning of religious freedom and Stephen…

For Tuesday’s edition of The Late Show, CBS’s Stephen Colbert welcomed “Chaplain of the Colbert Nation” Father James Martin to discuss Pope Leo XIV. Both men agreed that one positive thing Leo brings to the papacy is that him being American will force President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance to confront their immigration beliefs, with Colbert ultimately declaring, “He’ll go…

With illegal immigration being a focal point in Trump’s second term, we knew it wouldn’t be long before Hollywood would drum up sympathy for illegals again. So, Tuesday’s episode of CBS’s procedural drama FBI: Most Wanted, “Souls on ICE,” came as no surprise.

ABC News finally found a group of people they didn’t want to let into America: white farmers fleeing from South Africa. That much was clear during Tuesday’s Good morning America when they decried the Trump administration for allowing farmers allegedly being targeted by the South African government to be allowed into the U.S. with refugee status. Interestingly, it was the black…

It turns out that there is a group of migrants seeking asylum that will make the left and their enablers in the media say “enough is enough.” That, of course, being the 59 South Africans that made it to the United States today.

The legacy media have largely avoided reporting on Friday’s ICE-Surrection at a New Jersey detention facility. On this Sunday’s CNN State of the Union, however, we see what clearly looks to be favorable coverage that sidesteps the violent nature of what happened there.

It’s no secret that the gang at CNN aren’t exactly fans of President Trump’s strict immigration policies. But the election of a new American Pope on Thursday has at least some at the network hoping that Leo XIV will be able to get through to Trump in ways that others could not because — wait for it! — he speaks English.

PolitiFact’s relationship with Facebook might be over, but just in case Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg feels the need to change his mind one day, a Thursday article from Maria Ramirez Uribe proved why it should stay that way. Uribe rated President Trump “false” for saying “there’s a different standard” for due process for illegal immigrants despite admitting he was, in fact, correct.

Liberal journalists took special delight in evidence that the new Pope seems to disagree with the Trump administration on issues like immigration, yet Pope Leo XIV’s obvious opposition to same-sex marriage, abortion, and other positions embraced by American liberals received a lot less attention from these same programs.

The Thursday editions of the late night comedy shows truly proved that they are simply MSNBC with more jokes. Like that network, they appreciated that the first American pope, the newly elected Leo XIV, has criticized President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance on immigration. The fact that he would rebuke their views on abortion, gender, and sexuality were inconvenient things to be…

The most Biden-sycophantic network newscast was unable to help itself on the day of the election of the first American pope. During a roundup of presidential reactions to Pope Leo XIV, correspondent Rachel Scott went to a tired but true hook: “Joe Biden, devout Catholic.”

After Cardinal Robert Prevost became the first American ever to be elected Pope on Tuesday and took the name Leo XIV, MSNBC’s Katy Tur picked and chose what aspects of his beliefs to amplify and which ones to downplay or ignore. Naturally, for MSNBC, she highlighted his “rebuking” of conservatives and Republicans, but not of liberals and Democrats.
