President Trump's temporary takeover of law enforcement in DC caused an outburst of media protest, that somehow crime was at a "historic low" -- if you use bogus numbers. Plus to celebrate the 20th anniversary of NewsBusters, we remember some of the most outrageous examples of network nonsense with Geoffrey Dickens.

Tuesday night on his show On Balance, NewsNation host Leland Vittert lambasted progressives and their media allies dismissing concerns about crime in Washington D.C. by invoking President Trump’s role in the events of January 6, 2021 as a way to shutdown debate, calling it a “playbook” hell bent on “hijack[ing]” debate to “something four years ago that has absolutely nothing to do…

Following CNN’s The Arena host Kasie Hunt’s tough interview Tuesday with D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb (D) about his role (or lack thereof) in addressing crime in the nation’s capital, her panel did nothing to defend hin. Rather, they doubled down on the city continuing to have issues with crime and even admitted part of it nationwide has stemmed from police officer shortages…

New York Times chief White House correspondent Peter Baker joined Wednesday’s Chris Jansing Reports and unleashed, even by MSNBC’s standards, one of the most ridiculous reductio ad Putinum claims ever uttered on the network as he claimed the Russian dictator would “feel very comfortable” in Donald Trump’s America.

When President Trump called a press conference on August 11 to discuss how he would use emergency powers to federalize the D.C. police and deploy the National Guard, the knee-jerk anti-Trump media launched into January 6 talk.

While much of the liberal media coverage about President Trump’s federalizing of Washington D.C.’s police and deployment of the National Guard has been negative and dismissive of crime in the capital, CNN’s Kasie Hunt provided a welcome respite Tuesday as she spent nearly 11 minutes on The Arena thoroughly grilling D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb (D) over the city’s soft-on-crime…

NBC’s Seth Meyers hyped on Monday’s Late Night some highly suspect fact-checking from CNN during President Trump’s press conference when he announced he is federalizing Washington, DC’s law enforcement because, for Meyers, the binary choice is between Trump and CNN’s “stat nerds.”

All three broadcast networks reported Monday on President Trump announcing a takeover of the D.C. police, but only NBC attempted any balance on the matter. ABC and CBS both rained skepticism on the policy as unnecessary and overwrought.

On Monday in the moments after President Trump’s press conference announcing he was taking over the Washington D.C. police department and deploying the D.C. National Guard to bring down crime, CNN’s mostly white, uber-wealthy liberal journalists suffered a collective breakdown blasting this as “deception,” a “major exaggeration,” and not “comport[ing] with a lot of people’s experience” as well…

Former Clinton strategist James Carville does a podcast with former Clinton cheerleading journalist Al Hunt, and on their Wednesday recording of Politicon's Politics War Room, they reacted to the redistricting battle currently going on in Texas. While Hunt claimed Republicans are “fighting dirty,” Carville gave the game away and claimed that in order “to save democracy,” Democrats…

The brazen murder of two young Israeli Embassy staffers in DC was committed by a man on the radical left, but other than Jake Tapper, none of TV network stars could identify the shooter as "left," let along "radical left." MRCTV's Justine Brooke Murray helps break it down.

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser sounded off Monday on NPR about her municipal government’s relationship with the Trump administration. Interviewer Michel Martin allowed her to pass along the buck for all and any of her own failures to the federal government, headed by the hated President Trump, and especially federal employment cuts, directed by the even-more-hated Elon Musk, and challenged her on…

WAMU-FM, the NPR station airing news all day in D.C., has openly sided with the federal bureaucracy and against the Trump team's effort to reform government. On Friday morning, their aired a story for four and a half minutes during Morning Edition that was devoted only to frustrated staffers at the U.S. Agency for International Development.  The "evil" Trump side wasn't allowed to…

On what could be the eve of the Supreme Court deciding multiple First Amendment cases that will shape the future of our republic, MRC Free Speech America warns of the consequences of the justices perverting the Constitution.
