Across the dial on the Sunday shows, radical-left Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey was cued up for his message about leftist anti-ICE protesters. On ABC, Frey responded to a softball question from Jonathan Karl: "It's about love. We are showing something far more powerful and consequential here, which is love. We are standing up for one another."
He isn't presented by the elitist media as a radical leftist, because their ideologies roughly match. The phony picture here is that all the violence and all the "hate" is coming from Trump and his ICE agents. No one on the Left is hateful or violent or ideologically extreme.
MRC Video's Justine Brooke Murray and MRC Free Speech America Associate Editor Luis Cornelio joined the show as we discuss protests. Justine made a video about an interview former CBS anchor Norah O'Donnell had with Reza Pahlavi, the son of the deposed Shah of Iran, who now represents the Iranian resistance to the Muslim dictatorship there. Norah seemed to suggest that it was irresponsible to encourage protests that could end in death. Aren't these media elitists the ones who always pose as the guardians of democracy?
Luis has been doing studies on what we call the “Big Four News Apps” (Apple News, Google News, MSN and Yahoo News). For example, the protests are burying the massive welfare-fraud scandal in Minnesota. Google News featured only four stories on the scandal out of 840 stories it published in its morning edition over a six-week period. None of the four stories came from a right-leaning outlet, and three of them actively sought to vilify Trump administration enforcement actions.
The hatred of ICE feels unanimous. On PBS NewsHour, New York Times columnist David Brooks -- who poses as a moderate -- sounded like a radical leftist on Minnesota: “We're coming close to something like an armed occupation of an American state by the American federal government. There are 3,000 ICE officers in Minneapolis, which is like five times the number of police officers. And they are behaving with reckless and violent abandon.” It makes you happy PBS is defunded -- for now.
We also discuss how California Gov. Gavin Newsom was grilled by Ben Shapiro on his own podcast, and made the “mistake” of agreeing that ICE were not terrorists and that ICE should not be abolished. The Bluesky Brigade had a fit. Former Washington Post columnist Nathan Grayson said Newsom is a “sociopath who believes in nothing,” and New York Times columnist Jamelle Bouie somehow used it to mock Shapiro as bad at sex.
