Liberal TV Rushes Dismiss, Downplay ICE Cell Video in First Reactions

On Friday afternoon, the Minnesota-based conservative media outlet Alpha News scooped the national press with the first publication of the cellphone video of Minneapolis-based Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) officer Brian Ross’s deadly confrontation Wednesday with Renee Good.

Navarro Confronts Hostin on Maduro Support: 'Return Him to Venezuela?'

Sparks flew on Friday’s (pre-recorded) episode of The View as ABC co-host Ana Navarro called out co-host Sunny Hostin for her support of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro. All week, Hostin was proclaiming that America’s arrest of Maduro was “illegal” and “unlawful.” Since Navarro wasn’t on the show for most of the week, it was her first chance to counter, demanding to know if Hostin’…

PBS Revises History, Tries Making Atomic Bomb Debate About Journalists

It is well known that the media likes to make themselves the main character of every story they can, but Tuesday’s PBS American Experience documentary about the atomic bombings on Japan took things to a whole new level.

NARCO SIMPS: Soros-Funded Group Laments 'Kidnapped' Nicolás Maduro

Leave it to an insane, radical group funded by leftist billionaire George Soros to make a narco-terrorist dictator out to be the victim and President Donald Trump out to be the arch-villain.

The Dividends of Operation Absolute Resolve

One great irony is that deposed Venezuelan socialist despot Nicolás Maduro sits in jail in New York City, where a new socialist mayor, inaugurated a few days ago, extols the “warmth of collectivism” rather than the “frigidity of rugged individualism.” No warm, cuddly collectivist has ever, nor will ever, perform a mission like rugged American individualists just pulled off in Venezuela,…

Comedy Shows Accuse Administration Of Lying About Minneapolis

Four of the five liberal late night comedy shows focused a lot of energy on their Thursday episodes on the situation in Minneapolis. According to them, the administration is lying about the female driver being a threat to the ICE agent who shot her, people who agree with the administration are fascists, and Trump plans to use the situation to further his goal of governing without elections.…

NewsBusters Podcast: It's Not 'Minnesota Nice' If You Run Over ICE

The network news can hardly notice the massive welfare fraud perpetrated by Somalis in Minnesota, and the media find nothing offensive about local Democrats telling ICE to 'get the f--k out of Minneapolis' and threatening to deploy the National Guard against ICE.

NBC Is The Only Network Newscast to Cover Venezuela Prisoner Release

The aftermath of the ICE shooting of an anti-ICE activist in Minnesota has quickly exploded into a national story that sucks the oxygen out of anything else trying to elbow its way into the news cycle .
