ABC, CBS Highlight Senator Menendez Not Getting Retried for Corruption

The corruption saga of Democratic Senator Bob Menendez (N.J.) appeared to have come to an end after federal prosecutors announced on Wednesday that they would not be seeking a retrial following the mistrial back in November. And while the major three network news outlets (ABC, CBS, and NBC) sparsely covered the case during their morning and evening newscasts as the trial was proceeding, their…

Telemundo Finds Itself Out of Balance

Once upon a time, Telemundo sought to answer a need in the marketplace by taking a "Just the News" approach, to critical and ratings acclaim. But it appears that the network is eschewing that approach in favor of more one-sided coverage, especially when it comes to immigration.

Boom: NY Times Editorial Board Admits The State of the Union Is Strong

If the State of the Union speech is an occasion for national unity, the New York Times editorial board took a few baby steps toward admitting the state of the union is strong right now. They didn't want to give all the credit to the president, but suggested his claims of national strength were true.

Univision Anchors Parrot DNC Talking Points on Trump Speech

After listening to Univision anchors Jorge Ramos and Ilia Calderón parrot DNC and leftist activist talking points distributed to the liberal media to disparage President Trump’s State of the Union speech, one can’t help but wonder what’s behind their incredible determination to continuing playing dumb to their audience. Do they really believe all their viewers live in La-La Land?

ABC Touts Scowling Democrats Booing Trump During SOTU Address

ABC News continued their anti-Trump meltdown over the President's State of the Union speech into Wednesday evening as they seemed to praise Democrats who were seen childishly pouting during the address. And after the liberal media freaked out over Congressman Joe Wilson (R-SC) shouting “you lie” at President Obama during the 2009 joint session of Congress, ABC seemed impressed with Democrats who…

CNN's Santorum Schools Van Jones on Higher Crime by Illegal Immigrants

On Tuesday night, during a discussion after President Donald Trump's State of the Union speech, liberal CNN contributor Van Jones insisted that illegal immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than the general population as right-leaning CNN contributor Rick Santorum cited a recent study by John Lott finding that illegal immigrants in Arizona commit crimes at twice the rate of the general…

NYT: Under Trump, ‘Fear for Journalists’ Safety,’ ‘Threats...Common'

New York Times Michael Grynbaum’s latest paranoid attack on President Trump’s harsh criticism of the media appeared in Tuesday’s paper, “In Age of Trump, Political Reporters Are Under Attack, and in Demand.” Once again, Grynbaum found a threat in the term “fake news,” which originated as a mainstream media attack on false pro-Trump Facebook posts, but has since been appropriated by Trump, to the…

‘Dreamers’ and Demons

Xinran Ji, 24, had big dreams. But demons demolished them. The bright hopes of young Xinran Ji, a University of Southern California engineering student from Inner Mongolia, died in 2014 at the hands of a then-19-year-old "Dreamer" and his thug pals. Mexican illegal alien Jonathan DelCarmen, who first jumped the southern border at age 12, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder last summer in the…

Immigration Lies and Hypocrisy

President Donald Trump reportedly asked why the U.S. is “having all these people from sh*thole countries come here.” I think he could have used better language, but it's a question that should be asked and answered. I have a few questions for my fellow Americans to consider. How many Norwegians have illegally entered our nation, committed crimes and burdened our prison and welfare systems?

Counterpunch Editor Mocks North Korean Defector, Train Crash Survivors

In a breathtaking, unhinged display apparently triggered by President Donald Trump's well-received State of the Union address, Counterpunch Editor Jeffrey St. Clair outrageously mocked invited guest, double amputee, and North Korean defector Ji Seong-ho as "Korea's version of Tiny Tim who brought his own crutches."

Here's Six Nutty Things from MSNBC's Late-Night SOTU Coverage

Late Tuesday, the President’s State of the Union address and Democratic response ended just shy of 11:00 p.m. Eastern, but MSNBC kept it going live until 2:00 a.m. Eastern on Wednesday. While it’s doubtful you stayed up to watch, you missed some mind-numbingly stupid quotes. Whether it’s suggesting Trump has committed treason or ghoulishly laughing about people fearing MS-13 gang violence, Chris…

CNN, MSNBC Journalists Invoke David Duke in Recapping SOTU

For all of the talk about collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, there seemed to be a bit of collusion on Wednesday between the cable news channels as they dissected the President’s State of the Union speech.

MSNBC Contributor Claims Nunes Fabricated Evidence

The spin began with an official statement by the FBI, which journalist Pete Williams read aloud. Of particular interest was a line which asserted FBI officials “have great concerns about material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo’s accuracy.” Panelists struggled to color inside the lines while discussing the statement’s implications, and within ten minutes, former RNC Chairman…

MRC's Gainor: WashPost Has 'No Credibility' To Fairly Cover SOTU

The Washington Post was filled with morose editorials following President Donald Trump’s first State of the Union address on Jan. 30. That is yet another example showing The Post has “no credibility on this issue at all,” MRC Vice President of Business and Culture Dan Gainor said Jan. 31. He appeared on Intelligence Report with Trish Regan to discuss the media’s response to Trump’s speech.
