All three of the main broadcast networks suggested that President Trump’s decision to put on a Saturday parade for the Army’s 250th birthday was a waste of money, but only Friday’s NBC Nightly News went so far as to compare it to “North Korea and Russia.”

MSNBC’s Ari Melber went to impressive lengths Tuesday night to try and downplay the riots that have plagued Los Angeles for the past few days. On his show, The Beat, he tried to make the impact these riots had seem as minimal as possible. “Let's tell you here in the news what we know,” Melber started, providing a weak summary of the facts:

MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace travelled over to CBS and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Tuesday to promote her new podcast because, apparently, everybody needs their own podcast. But other than self-promotion, Wallace would accuse the Trump Administration of laying siege to Los Angeles and claim Trump just wants to “[bleep] around with the military.”

Few words are as frequently misused to garner attention as the phrase “unprecedented.” Contrary to the way liberal media likes to throw the word around, everything you disagree with is not considered unprecedented. There is, of course, quite a bit of precedent for news stations like PBS using their platform to complain about “unprecedented” Republican politics.

This week, the Department of Defense made an unprecedented move: They renamed a ship, originally christened the USNS Harvey Milk. According to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s memo, the goal was to ensure “alignment with president and SECDEF objectives and SECNAV priorities of reestablishing the warrior culture.”

MSNBC’s Chris Jansing welcomed former Missouri Attorney General Jason Kander to her Wednesday show to discuss Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordering that the USNS Harvey Milk be renamed. Jansing could not tell the difference between civil rights icons and liberal icons as she asked if renaming such ships was “part of a politicization of the armed forces?”

The brazen anti-Americanism replete within The New York Times has become so in-your-face you can smell it like someone with a halitosis condition yawning within a few centimeters of your nose at a bus stop. How the trash newspaper tried to give new meaning to the idea of Memorial Day in its print edition is no exception.

With the solemn annual observance of Memorial Day just a few days away, MSNBC’s Ali Velshi welcomed columnist and SiriusXM’s Dean Obeidallah to his Saturday show to politicize the honoring of the nation’s war dead by claiming President Trump stands for the opposite of everything those men and women died for.

While some late comedians have attacked the GOP’s spending bill as an attack on poor people, Comedy Central’s Ronny Chieng decided to be different and take a swing at the national security portions, mainly President Trump’s call for a “Golden Dome” missile defense system. On Thursday’s episode of The Daily Show, Chieng quipped that the argument for the system sounds “like a us problem…

The latest episode of CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip, also known as the Thunderdome, proves the old maxim that sometimes the best way to make a conservative argument is to just let liberals talk. This is especially true in the case of the recent ban on transgender individuals in the military.

The Friday primetime lineups of CNN and MSNBC did not handle the news that President Trump signed an executive order forbidding taxpayer money for PBS and NPR well, as they portrayed the news as an assault on everything from democracy, science, the military, farmers, and even the country itself.

Days after its sister newscast NBC Nightly News bemoaned tariffs hitting Chinese slave labor-linked shopping apps Temu and Shein, NBC’s Today sent Beijing-based correspondent Janis Mackey Frayer to gallivant around Vietnam for the communist regime’s propaganda parade marking the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War, a shameful scar on the country that’d be repeated…

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel is a big basketball fan, so to put Thursday’s show in basketball terms, he went up for a dunk attempt on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth only to slip, fall, and faceplant.

Our friend and 2023 MRC Bulldog Award winner Andrew Kerr put a spotlight Tuesday on the revelation that a previously censored 2022 Biden administration report on the coronavirus pandemic that he said showed “[s]even Americans may have contracted COVID-19 in Wuhan in October 2019, several months before the reported start of the pandemic.”
