Donald Trump

Both PBS and National Public Radio are cadging for change, even before President Trump’s executive order cutting taxpayer funds to PBS and NPR through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. But NPR has gone out a bit further on the ledge since then, their tone becoming increasingly aggressive, even apocalyptic, as demonstrated by three recent donation banners that have flown on NPR’s…

MSNBC’s Ali Velshi gave an ode to public broadcasting on his Sunday show, where he tried to claim that the existence of public media is correlated with democratic health. In order to make such a claim, Velshi had to ignore one major detail from the study he cited.

As the Trump administration moves to enforce immigration law, HBO’s John Oliver is not happy. On Sunday’s Last Week Tonight, Oliver claimed that the moves are “always cruel” and declared that Border Czar Tom Homan “can truly rot in hell” for his efforts. Meanwhile, on Monday, Oliver joined NBC’s Seth Meyers on Late Night to claim it is “morally terrible” for people to attempt…

With the Second Trump Administration in full swing, dissent appears to make a comeback. Whistleblowing is once again back in fashion and whistleblowers are sainted public servants again, as opposed to pariahs during the Biden years. This much is clear from watching legal correspondent Laura Jarrett’s interview with former DHS Chief of Staff Miles Taylor, of “Anonymous” fame.

On Sunday, President Trump tangled with NBC's Kristen Welker, after he had verbal combat with ABC's Terry Moran and Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic. Four years ago, President Biden granted no interviews to the liberal media. They didn't care. Once again, Trump is punished for granting broad access to hostile journalists.

Ladies and gentlemen, it is our solemn duty to inform you that CBS’s John Dickerson is at it again, delivering yet another pretentious editorial bloviation with which to close out CBS Evening News Plus. This Time, Dickerson was spurred to righteous action by President Donald Trump’s viral pope meme.

Univision, a known advocate for open borders, kicks off Cinco de Mayo celebrations by mourning the cancellation of parades in cities such as Chicago and Philadelphia. In so doing, viewers get an inadvertent yet unvarnished message about the truth of “Latino” identity.

Ever since Audie Cornish took over as host of CNN This Morning, we've been on a kvetch campaign about her failure to include Trump supporters on her reliably left-leaning panels. So it was surprising to see a welcome halt to this with the return of Republican strategist Brad Todd.

On CBS’s Face the Nation, host Margaret Brennan expected agreement from Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH) as to the relationship between the President of the United States and the National Security Council. Instead, she got taken to school.

“If it’s Sunday”, per the booming voice of the show’s announcer, “it’s Meet the Press.” Meet the Press has become synonymous, as is the case with the rest of the Sunday shows, with horribly biased coverage of conservatives generally, and of President Donald Trump specifically. This-week’s much-ballyhooed presidential interview was not the exception.

David Segal, a feature writer for the New York Times, interviewed German-born novelist Daniel Kehlmann, who “sees chilling parallels between what happened [under Hitler] and what has unfolded since Trump’s second inauguration.” The “Republican president = Hitler” smear has been a tired and offensive lazy liberal trope unworthy of appearing in a once-prestigious newspaper.

On Deadline: White House, host Nicolle Wallace brings on Michelle Norris, formerly of NPR's All Things Considered, now an MSNBC "senior contributing editor," to claim that President Trump's economic moves will bring about "malaise." Wallace echoes the M-word. Shades of Jimmy Carter!

Ya can’t make it up. Unless, of course, you’re the New York Times Editorial Board.

The Friday primetime lineups of CNN and MSNBC did not handle the news that President Trump signed an executive order forbidding taxpayer money for PBS and NPR well, as they portrayed the news as an assault on everything from democracy, science, the military, farmers, and even the country itself.
