Israel-Iran War

The Iran crisis of the past two weeks isn’t just about nuclear weapons — it’s also an urgent reminder that border security is national security.

Tehran’s terrorist agents are a weapon with a much longer reach than any of the mullahs’ missiles. They’ve been a threat to Salman Rushdie’s life in the United States and Europe for more than 35 years, and in 2022 an attacker sympathetic to…

The rapidly fleeting shelf-life of the half-cocked doomist agitprop from lefty outlets like The New York Times desperate for an anti-Trump banger of a story is comedic gold in its own right. 

CNN/PBS host Christiane Amanpour and her ex-husband Jamie Rubin are among the top media personalities whose Israel-Iran hot takes look especially silly after President Trump announced a ceasefire on Monday. On their The Ex Files podcast recorded earlier that day, Rubin would claim “extremists” in the U.S. and Israel use Iran’s “death to America” sloganeering to justify a hard line…

Near the start of Tuesday’s Inside Politics, CNN’s OutFront host Erin Burnett tried to downplay the long-standing practice Iranians chanting “death to America” (and “death to Israel”) because, from her experience reporting from Tehran, those same people often display a “friendliness” and genuine interest in America. Yes, dear readers, Burnett declared those calling for mass killings…

Hours before the fragile ceasefire between Israel and Iran was set to go into effect, CNN’s Erin Burnett took to her show OutFront Monday evening to get away ahead of her skis to deny the existence of the ceasefire agreement. And even after one of her CNN colleagues confirmed its existence and reported how it was achieved through mediation from an outside party, Burnett could be seen…

Monday’s CBS Mornings kicked off its second hour with a guest from the George Soros-funded (and pro-China) Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft to declare that not only were the weekend U.S. military strikes ordered by President Trump on Iranian nuclear facilities a failure in not taking out the regime’s nuclear program, but made them even more dangerous and more likely to…

After some uncertainty Tuesday morning, it appears the ceasefire between Israel and Iran is holding, which means that there were plenty of previously recorded anti-Trump hot takes from the late night comedy shows on Sunday and Monday that aged rather poorly.

In a grotesque close to Sunday’s CBS Weekend News, anchor Jericka Duncan delivered a summary of the history between the United States and Iran that began in 1953 and ended in 1980. In essence, Duncan told half the story. Unfortunately, it was the mullahs’ half.

Within minutes of American bombs dropping in Iran on Saturday night, the network “experts” were second-guessing everything, calling the moves “extremely risky.” President Trump was responsible for endangering both American troops and innocent Iranian civilians. Journalists always want to line up for diplomatic “solutions,” even if nothing gets solved.

POLL RESULTS: Worst Media Take of the Week Winner!

After The View made embarrassing headlines last week with moderator Whoopi Goldberg and co-host Sunny Hostin suggesting that it was worse to be black in America than live in Iran, ABC News seemingly appointed chief Washington correspondent Jon Karl to be their babysitter during Monday’s discussion of the U.S.’s strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities. Karl kept the cast on the rails as…

Talk about getting Jim Cramered. The Atlantic’s pompous loudmouth of a staff writer David Frum committed an unforced error by publicly showcasing how he literally knows nothing about the Trump Doctrine on military strategy or foreign policy.

Monday’s CBS Mornings played the proverbial role of the skunk at the garden party by scoffing at Saturday night’s U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, cheering “several countries across the Middle East” siding with Iran and blaming the U.S. for Iranian strikes this past weekend in Israel.

On CNN This Morning, former Biden/Kamala aide Sabrina Singh, now a CNN commentator, said of the strikes on Iran: "I mean, you cannot deny the professionalism of our military when it came to this operation." Looks like CNN has adopted  "can't deny" as a catchphrase to cover those unfortunate situations where—much as commentators would like to diminish the accomplishments of the Trump…
