Donald Trump

Liberals may view MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow as something of an intellectual, but her Monday show disproved that notion. If all you did was listen to Maddow, you would come to the conclusion that Trump is waging war on universities simply because he can and not because they have an anti-Semitism problem.

For the Tax Day edition of CNN’s Inside Politics on Tuesday, media correspondent Brian Stelter joined host Dana Bash to allege that President Trump wants to defund PBS and NPR for “simply covering the news.” If Stelter really believes that then he has a funny definition of what is newsworthy.

Over the past two weeks, broadcast networks were utterly consumed by news of the Trump administration’s tariffs, to the degree that the topic took up more than a third of their flagship morning and evening newscasts’ total run time. Yet during that same time period, these networks spared barely any time at all to cover some of the positive economic news, such as the declining Consumer Price…

Jon Stewart devoted his Monday monologue on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show to accusing President Trump of being an authoritarian. However, some of Stewart’s examples of authoritarianism, such as protecting women’s sports and defunding public broadcasting, were woefully unimpressive. Additionally, Stewart alleged Trump had bungled “the authoritarian bargain” that requires competence…

In The Atlantic magazine, David Brooks penned a harsh 4,500-word epithet of an essay, “Everything We Once Believed In.” The online headline: “I Should Have Seen This Coming -- When I joined the conservative movement in the 1980s, there were two types of people: those who cared earnestly about ideas, and those who wanted only to shock the left. The reactionary fringe has won.”

The network evening newscasts have completely turned themselves over to immigration advocacy, shifting over to a lane often occupied almost exclusively by known immigration advocates Univision and Telemundo. There is no other rational way to explain the blackout, across the legacy dial, of the guilty verdict in the trial of the illegal immigrant charged with killing Maryland mom Rachel Morin…

The deportation of illegal alien and alleged MS-13 gangbanger Kilmar Abrego García continues to trigger the Acela Media to the point of derangement. Case in point: the panel at CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip (A.K.A. the “Thunderdome”), who appear terminally opposed to the idea that the United States should enforce her own borders.

Having been roundly condemned in the days leading up to its premiere and an excerpt flirting with far-left, pro-murder psychopath Taylor Lorenz, CNN correspondent Donie O’Sullivan’s Whole Story episode aired Sunday on “a new kind of American extremism” declaring “violence in the country today is mostly from right-wing extremism” with “simply no equivalent on the left.”

Mr. “It’s the economy, stupid” James Carville is scheming how to exploit the economy for hapless Democrats to use as a political cudgel against President Donald Trump.

In his column promoting a guest essay on the paper's op-ed page, Daniel Wakin, a New York Times editor, analogizes Israel to hegemons like the Roman Empire, the Soviet Union, and the USA. In the essay Wakin was promoting, the authors make no such analogy.

Journalists who insist the conservatives don’t believe in facts are greeting the very fictional final season of The Handmaid’s Tale on Hulu with the ridiculous rerun spin of “wow, this repressive religious dictatorship is so exactly like Trump’s America.” Former CNN media reporter Oliver Darcy -- Mr. "Facts First" -- interviewed the show-runners and repeated the garbage that it has "…

Journalists don't tell the Democrats to calm down. Typically, they encourage Democrats to scream about Trump as an autocrat. On Sunday's Meet the Press, Boston Globe senior opinion writer Kimberly Atkins Stohr was one of those leftist agitators, using the tariff turbulence as another opportunity to cry Tyranny.

Rare is the instance where you see blue-on-blue crime on the Legacy Media’s Sunday shows, but Politico’s Jonathan Martin gives us that rare outlier, in reaction to Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s face-shielding hijinks at The White House. In so doing, Martin hearkened back to another classic own-goal.

Elite Acela journalist Jon Karl showed his true colors during an exchange with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick over the reshoring of American industry. In response to Lutnick’s remarks on the national security component of the tariffs levied against China, Karl questioned whether America would go back to being “a nation of cobblers.”
