Natasha Bertrand

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt had one of her strongest briefings yet Thursday afternoon as she launched one scathing broadside after another at the liberal media for their anonymously sourced stories falsely claiming the weekend U.S. military airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites were a failure, calling these “agenda-driven leaks” and “fake and false narratives” led by CNN’s Deep…

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth left CNN seething with rage Thursday morning as he took to the Pentagon press room and, standing next to Joint Chiefs Chairman General Dan Caine, tore the liberal media a new one for this days-long disinformation campaign using anonymous sources to falsely claim U.S. intelligence has determined the weekend airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites were a massive…

Following the highly anticipated Pentagon press conference from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chairman Air Force General Dan Caine, where the former called out the lies of the liberal media, on Thursday, CNN News Central hosts Kate Bolduan and Sara Sidner rushed to falsely claim that Hegseth had “confirmed” their reporting about the untrue battle damage assessment…

The leaked and Natasha Bertrand-laundered Defense Intelligence Agency assessment of the aftermath of Operation Midnight Hammer, the U.S. bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities in Natanz, Esfahan and Fordow, quickly made it to the top of the legacy media evening news. Its promise of a minor setback for Iran’s nuclear program, as opposed to total destruction, was uniformly parroted, touted and…

CNN is aerobically back-patting national security correspondent Natasha Bertrand for her "incredible reporting" suggesting the Trump team wasn't very successful in it's bunker-busting of Iran's nuclear facilities. She always finds anonymous sources inside the intelligence community who assist in the anti-Trump spin. They don't mention her previous "incredible" intel disinformation on Hunter…

On Wednesday during his press conference on the sidelines of the annual NATO summit, President Trump tag-teamed with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to obliterate the new Deep State leak to CNN’s Natasha Bertrand — who penned the infamous article declaring Hunter Biden’s laptop to be Russian disinformation — that claimed the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) has deemed the weekend U.S. military…

Two Politico alums -- Tara Palmeri and Marc Caputo -- dropped a bombshell about how their old employer mandated bias by omission on Hunter Biden in 2020: "Don’t write about the laptop, don’t talk about the laptop, don’t tweet about the laptop." Their "cowardly editors" made "dumb decisions"!

It is one thing to look at the awful suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story ahead of the 2020 presidential election and imagine what happened. It is entirely another to watch reporters confirm these suppressions and talk about them openly.

On Tuesday afternoon following Pete Hegseth’s five-hour-and-15-minute-long confirmation hearing to lead the Pentagon, CNN immediately made clear it was not having a good time, continuing to peddle the alcoholism and tattoo conspiracy theories about the “Kavanaugh-esque” Hegseth, suggested he was in over his head, and Democratic senators asked apt and thorough questions.

Politico has raised concerns about message dissemination on WhatsApp Channels, a new broadcast platform by tech firm Meta. The platform currently lacks explicit disinformation rules regarding election periods, which critics, including lawmakers and former Meta employees, believe could pose serious risks due to the global voting runs this year. However, WhatsApp Channels uses community…

This blog post criticizes Politico for denying its role in promoting the discredited theory that the Hunter Biden laptop scandal was Russian misinformation during the 2020 election. The post suggests that in recent coverage of the Hunter Biden trial, Politico attempted to distance itself from its previous stance, which it claims contributed to social media suppression of the scandal. The blog…

This blog criticizes Politico's national security reporter Erin Banco and her colleague John Sakellariadis for expressing concern over the predicted politicization of the intelligence community in the event of a second Trump presidency. The blog asserts that the intelligence community was already politicized during Trump’s first term, citing examples such as FISA warrants being issued…

CNN has promoted Natasha Bertrand, a journalist previously criticised for promoting fake news stories, including the debunked claim that the Hunter Biden laptop story was a result of Russian disinformation. Bertrand also notoriously backed the false Trump-Russia collusion narrative. This decision drew criticism from various commentators, including Mollie Hemingway of The Federalist, who…

Surprise! Stories broke about the Hunter Biden investigation this week, and some networks actually covered them for a bit. Meanwhile, Michelle Obama drew typical goop about her "epic lines" and whether she would please her superfans by running for president someday.
