Conservatives are hopeful that incoming President Donald Trump’s new “Department of Government Efficiency” will find ways to cut bloated government spending, freeing up scarce resources for better uses and reducing the massive federal budget deficits that threaten America’s future prosperity. But if history is a reliable guide, today’s budget-cutters should expect a massive media counterattack…

On Friday morning in his Substack, our friend Erick Erickson wrote that the national media’s Trump-focused and Democratic-defensive coverage of the California wildfires has led him to believe “[i]t’s time to let the press hit rock bottom” and even had him “starting to wish ill on the American press” even though “[t]he country needs it” and the powerful deserve to be held to account.

Our readers are well aware that one of MRC Business’s biggest pet peeves has been the extent to which the leftist media went to bat for the insanity of Bidenomics the past four years. But The Washington Post’s pseudo-conservative columnist Jennifer Rubin is arguing like they just discovered its made-up stroke of genius yesterday.

Monday’s PBS News Hour featured an interview on the current meltdown at the Washington Post with blunt-talking liberal journalist Kara Swisher, the class-conscious nemesis of Elon Musk and now of Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon and owner of the Post. In Swisher’s eyes, he used to be one of the good billionaires. At least until he belatedly realized his paper was…

Tuesday’s Washington Post revealed their angst for a second Trump term. Whatever can the media do now? All the media's horses failed to knock Trumpty Dumpty off the wall.

On the front of Saturday's Style section, The Washington Post dropped a sugar bomb on trans activist/actress Laverne Cox as she stepped away from being a red-carpet interviewer for the E! network. The headline: "Laverne Cox elevated E! red carpet coverage. Now she’s signing off."

The Washington Post made a pathetic attempt to paint website traffic cop NewsGuard as some kind of victim of right-wing oppression, all while downplaying the years-long dystopian vendetta it waged against right-leaning media.

As America heads into the final days of the lame duck administration under President Joe Biden, there are still clueless members of the media trying to sell the clownish concept of Bidenomics to the public as if the 2024 elections were still in full swing.

In an article on a spate of abandoned newborns in Texas, The Washington Post bemoans the limited availability of abortion in the state.  Calling the death of some of the abandoned newborns "tragedies," the paper ignores the fact that if abortion were freely available in Texas and the mothers had availed themselves of it, ALL of the babies, rather than just some of them, would have…

The Washington Post has been warning of Donald Trump as a threat to democracy since the 2016 campaign. So it's a little surprising when the Post's Editorial Board came together for an article titled: "Democracy in 2024 was noisy and chaotic. It was also resilient." First, the Post editorialists were forbidden from endorsing Kamala Harris. Now they're upsetting the Left by…

It is a common retort among those who argue in favor of an “independent” fact-checking industry that Republicans and conservatives are fact-checked more because they lie more. However, anyone who reads beyond the headlines will soon see this is nonsense. Over the past year, the fact-checkers have come out with some “fact” checks that are themselves factually challenged. Here are the worst ten…

On Christmas Day, Washington Post media reporter Jeremy Barr lamented CNN’s collapsing ratings. Why the decline? Barr implied CNN had gone too soft on Trump!
