Stephanopoulos Cues AP Boss to Lie: AP's 'Independent, Nonpartisan'
On Sunday's This Week, host George Stephanopoulos brought on Associated Press Executive Editor Julie Pace to discuss Ukraine, and the AP being kept out of the White House press pool because they're #Resistance media. They picked the weird battle of refusing to write "Gulf of America" because they hate President Trump that much. Pace lied: "We're a global, independent, non-partisan…

PBS, Stelter Agree About Trump’s Kremlin-Style ‘Chilling Effect’ on AP
Tuesday’s PBS News Hour featured guest Brian Stelter, editor of CNN’s Reliable Sources newsletter (and reliable white knight for the mainstream media) to discuss the “chilling effect” of the Trump Administration blocking the Associated Press from the White House pool of reporters.

WH’s Leavitt Causes Liberal Media PANIC After Making Huge Change
On Tuesday afternoon, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt sent shockwaves down the paper-thin spines of the White House press corps as she declared the end of the press pool as we know it and that the administration, not the smarmy White House Correspondents Association (WHCA) would determine the rotation of reporters who’d accompany the President in tighter confines, such as the Oval…

AP Sues WH Over Gulf of America Name, Alleging Free Speech Violation
On Friday, the Associated Press (AP) sued three Trump White House officials – Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Deputy Chief of Staff Taylor Budowich, and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt – alleging they violated the First Amendment (and somehow the Fourth Amendment too) by using their stance on the Gulf of America to deprive the AP of their seemingly God-given right to participate in a small,…

Stelter Decries Trump as ‘Word Police,’ But He Backed Disinfo Board
In an appearance on Wednesday’s CNN Newsroom and in his so-called “Reliable Sources” Newsletter, liberal media janitor Brian Stelter kvetched about President Trump “embracing the role of word police” for barring the Associated Press from official White House events over their refusal to call it the Gulf of America.

Trump SLAMS ‘Bad,’ ‘Horrible’ AP, CNN, MSNBC, PBS in Musk Interview
In an lengthy interview with Elon Musk that aired Tuesday on the Fox News Channel with Sean Hannity (and taped late last week), President Trump unsurprisingly found time to lambaste the “bad,” “dangerous,” “horrible” liberal media as he and Musk have stood up the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to shrink and tame the leviathan that is the federal government.

PBS: Trump's ‘Gulf of America’ Ban Attacks Freedom of 'Nonpartisan' AP
PBS’s regular Monday political conclave with Cook Political Report’s Amy Walter and NPR White House reporter Tamara Keith ran hotter than usual, with concerns about President Trump’s purported assault on the First Amendment fanning the fear flames, leading the panel to make ridiculous defenses of the non-partisan (!) Associated Press.

White House: Our Spat with AP Is About ALL Their Left-Tilted Lingo
It's strange to see AP and the White House battling over the Gulf of America, but Axios reports there's a broader message. "This is about AP weaponizing language through their Stylebook to push a partisan worldview."

AP Drew 'One of the Largest Investments' from the Federal Government
Wallace White at the Daily Caller reported it isn't just Politico that's a substantial beneficiary of federal government support. The Associated Press -- which in recent years has offered a seriously soft touch to President Biden -- receives many millions from taxpayers

AP's Party Lost, Whines About Red States 'Rolling Back Trans Rights'
Blithely tossing aside biological reality for ideological ends, Associated Press wrote from Topeka: “Republican-led states emboldened to continue rolling back trans rights as Democrats struggle with response.” AP absolutely mangled the political controversy over “transgender rights,” and assumed with no scientific evidence that a high number of children are “trans." AP used all the LGBTQIA-…

'Fact-Based' AP Hypes Hoax of Elon Musk Offering 'Nazi Salutes'
The Associated Press claims to bring "fact-based, nonpartisan information to the world." Fact check? Pants On Fire. In two stories, AP hyped Democrats and leftists (and "right-wing extremists") claiming Elon Musk made a Nazi salute on Inauguration Day. It's a hoax.

AP’s WH Reporter: America, Bidenomics Was Actually the Bee’s Knees!
The Associated Press’s in-house public relations flunky for President Joe Biden, Josh Boak, is following the dragged out trend of leftist media figures treating Americans like they’re just too impatient to understand the true genius of Bidenomics.

Last KJP Briefing Brings an Emotional Speech, Non-Answers, and a Shrug
Wednesday afternoon brought us the final Biden White House press briefing and, by her own count, the 306th featuring the ever-inept Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. It featured Jean-Pierre emotionally patting herself on the back, plenty of unanswered questions (mostly stemming from the monumental Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal), the final Jacqui Time, and even Jean-Pierre doing her own…
