Elon Musk

We have arrived at the stage of DOGE derangement wherein the media are now poring over the words President Donald Trump uses in describing the ongoing program cuts across several government agencies. Quite frankly, we haven’t seen this much analysis over the definition of a word since Bill Clinton tried to question the meaning of what is is.

There was a potent and toxic combination of righteous indignation and ignorance oozing from ABC News moderator Whoopi Goldberg, during Tuesday’s edition of The View. In addition to blaming the crash of a Delta Airlines flight on the runway of an airport in Toronto, Canada on Elon Musk, she demanded to know: when did she give permission to NASA to sign contracts with Musk’s SpaceX?

Four weeks into the second term of President Trump, it's painfully clear that the "Public Broadcasting Service" loathes Trump and his "government efficiency" czar, billionaire Elon Musk. They don't say the reason out loud, but Musk has made clear he thinks "public" broadcasting should be defunded. He's Public Broadcasting Enemy #1. 

On Tuesday’s edition of CNN’s Inside Politics, aviation correspondent Pete Muntean told host Dana Bash that it appeared the Delta Airlines flight that crashed in Toronto on Monday did so due to a landing gear malfunction. He also noted how there is no common thread linking it with other recent plane crashes, but that didn’t stop Bash and her assembled panel from noticing “this…

The credit card statement contained an unfamiliar charge. I called the fraud department which canceled the payment and immediately sent me a new card. If only the federal government responded with similar alacrity. Instead, the reaction from the exposure and rooting out of fraud – mostly from Democrats – has been shouting profanities and demonstrating outside federal government buildings. Some…

HBO’s John Oliver kicked off the 2025 season of Last Week Tonight on Sunday by recapping the first four weeks of Donald Trump’s return to the White House that included a bit on Elon Musk and DOGE. Oliver would label Musk as “one of the worst white guys South Africa has ever produced” while ignoring questions about whether South Africa really needs or deserves aid. On Monday, Oliver…

Dear readers, we regret to inform you that the new and by-no-means improved CBS Evening News is at it again. This time, turning an otherwise serviceable report on the disappearance of Washington’s birthday into a vessel with which to take a shot at President Donald Trump.

The ongoing effort to smear the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and its related federal job cuts has officially pivoted to the ridiculous. In an over-the-top piece for NBC Nightly News, Senior White House Correspondent Kelly O’Donnell politicizes the firings while completely burying the lede.

On Monday afternoon during an NBC News Special Report, NBC senior correspondent and longtime aviation reporter Tom Costello directly linked Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to the Delta Airlines crash in Toronto that, fortunately, all 76 passengers survived (as of this blog’s publication).

For CBS, Sunday marked a day for the ages. Along with Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan having engaged in a new act of political masochism and shamelessly peddled a pants-on-fire lie that free speech caused the Holocaust, 60 Minutes not only embraced Germany’s criminalizing of dissent as a model, but tried to convince the populous to commiserate with government workers in…

Ya can’t make it up. Here is the Washington Post this week headlining: 

CNN’s outrageously biased ongoing treatment of Elon Musk took a turn Thursday that was so over-the-top it was actually a little funny. On that day’s episode of Inside Politics, Dana Bash hosted two of Musk’s especially vitriolic detractors, and her attempts to cover for them were so ridiculous, it was actually a little more than the pair could just sit there and take.

After a few weeks of Shock and Awe, the Resistance vibe has fully returned to ABC Whirled News Tonight. A goofy item by Chief White House correspondent Mary Bruce demonstrates that the media have no playbook for Trump except the one they ran in 2017.

MSNBC may have taken their self-assured and self-righteous obliviousness to their own shortcomings to a whole new level of irony on Wednesday night’s episode of The 11th Hour, The show’s discussion panel railed against their perception of a trend of mass-misinformation by non-mainstream media sources, but seemed quite oblivious to very serious defamation charges pending against them…
