New Yorker: Trump Tore Down East Wing to Display Arbitrary Power

New Yorker magazine has an amusing analysis by art writer Adam Gopnik as to why President Donald Trump tore down the East Wing in order to build a new ballroom next to the White House. The supposed reason gives us insight into just how much corrosive TDS has eaten away at anything resembling rational thought at that periodical.

ABC, CBS’s Nightlies OMIT Govt Worker Union's Call to End The Shutdown

With The Great East Wing Calamity Cycle apparently behind us (zero seconds on ABC, CBS, NBC’s 10/27 nightly newscasts), one would think that the legacy networks would move off of their Democrat-coded shutdown coverage and relay increasing pressure in favor of the clean Continuing Resolution languishing before the Senate. Alas, this was not the case.

NewsBusters Podcast: The Ludicrous Anti-Trump Ballroom Horror Movie

The networks and newspapers hyperventilating over President Trump as a "one-man wrecking ball" who okayed demolition of the East Wing of the White House to build a new ballroom is the silliest Trump scandal imaginable. He's a "mob boss" who may "never leave" office, and his architectural plans betray "a darker history in fascist and totalitarian politics."

NBC Is the ONLY Legacy Nightly Newscast to Report Bondi Murder Bounty

In an ongoing climate of political violence, you would think that the legacy nightly news would devote significant air time to a threat to assassinate a senior member of the Cabinet. But, alas, that did not happen. CBS and ABC both omitted the story from their evening newscasts.

ABC Oozes Empathy Over Mamdani, Laments Cuomo 'Laughing' Over 9/11

If the "mainstream media" takes a position within a Democrat primary, they typically favor the most extreme candidate. Take New York democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani. Former governor Andrew Cuomo is the "mainstream" candidate, but he's apparently an Islamophobic jerk. On Friday's edition of ABC World News Tonight, anchor David Muir lamented Cuomo getting "personal" with Mamdani…

Painfully Stupid: The KJP Book Is Worse Than You Could Have Imagined

For years, Biden White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was arguably the most reliable source of entertainment for NewsBusters (and viral posts on X). Her press briefings were a heavyweight bout with the English language.
