Protesters

Interviewing protesters live can be risky. On Saturday, MSNBC's Jacob Soboroff was happily interviewing people on a highway overpass who want ICE out of Los Angeles when one masked leftist called President Trump a "f---ing felon" on TV. Guest anchor Stephanie Ruhle apologized. "Clearly, emotions are running hot today."

We regret to inform you that CBS’s Margaret Brennan is at it again. Brennan attempted to chastise Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) over his most recent op-ed in The Wall Street Journal, with its language evocative of the 2020 New York Times op-ed that triggered a newsroom revolt. 

As Los Angeles burst into riots this week over a federal immigration raid, one protester took to his social media channels to explain just what was going on -- why arsonists armed with Palestinian flags stood alongside vandals armed with Palestinian flags, why some masked protesters hurled rocks at police cars while others summoned automated Waymo taxis only to set them on fire. His…

The riots that kicked off in Los Angeles last weekend aren’t just about illegal immigration — they’re part of a revolutionary movement. “Anti-colonialism” is a term often heard in America’s college classrooms, but off campus virtually no one takes it seriously. It’s just another harebrained radical academic theory, right? Yes, the theory is mostly silly — but the practice is deadly serious.…

Wednesday afternoon’s White House press briefing was a fun one as Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt wasn’t having it with liberal journalists at Agence France-Presse (AFP), The New York Times, NOTUS, and Reuters trying to trap the Trump administration with questions about President Trump’s ironclad commitment to restoring law and order in Los Angeles following riots last weekend.

Tuesday’s PBS News Hour led off with special correspondent Marcia Biggs’ nearly nine-minute segment from downtown Los Angeles, ground zero in the confrontation between Trump’s immigration enforcement and protests that often devolved into looting and rioting. Co-anchors Amna Nawaz and Geoff Bennett noted that “700 Marines and 2,000 additional National Guard troops began arriving” on…

One of the week’s most inaccurate and biased statements was “there is no vicious and violent mob in Los Angeles.” This claim did not come from some fringe angry online social media user, but was pushed by MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell on Tuesday night’s broadcast of The Last Word. Clearly, this take was not only just extremely out of touch with reality, but a bald-faced lie. 

Even though CBS’s lead newscasts were far and away the most out of control Tuesday night and Wednesday morning in siding with the illegal immigrant mobs in Los Angeles and attacking President Trump for a simple desire to restore law and order, their compatriots at ABC and NBC had plenty of their own hot takes. ABC ludicrously declared the “protesters” have been “self-policing, keeping others…

The latest L.A. riots came after ICE began enforcing immigration law and rounding up illegals in downtown Los Angeles, and the New York Times is desperately trying to downplay the radical and violent nature of the so-called protests by calling them “largely peaceful” (i.e., somewhat violent, as a trove of photos from Los Angeles prove).  

This week marks the 40^th anniversary of Philadelphia confronting the radical black group MOVE in an incendiary assault that killed 11 people, including five children, and destroyed a residential block. PBS News Weekend on Saturday marked the anniversary with a dose of radical chic, omitting unflattering details about the bizarre urban enclave MOVE.

Last week, a federal judge blocked the Trump administration from seeking to deport anti-Israel, pro-Hamas Columbia University student protester Moshen Mahdawi and ordered his release from prison. His arrest sparked a slew of liberal media attention, particularly on CBS’s lead shows, CBS Mornings and the CBS Evening News. On the latter’s Monday edition (and then the former on…

National Public Radio has a dubious scoop -- the first interview of Columbia University student Mohsen Mahdawi, who has helped lead the pro-Hamas protest movement on campus that cropped up after Hamas massacred and kidnapped hundreds of Israeli citizens in October 2023. Mahdawi has been detained by the government at an immigration office in Vermont and now under threat of deportation, by Leila…

CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip, more colloquially known as “The Thunderdome”, continues to solidify itself as a petri dish of liberal derangement. Case in point: Thursday night’s broadcast kicked off with a debate on “weaponization” that culminated with liberal panelists (including, of course, host Abby Phillip) seeming to deny that institutional campus antisemitism exists.

Along with joining their fellow broadcast networks in rushing to the defense of illegal immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia despite records showing his less-than-stellar conduct, CBS used its flagship newscasts on Tuesday and Wednesday to bemoan the plight of Columbia University student Mohsen Mahdawi, who helped lead the pro-Hamas protest movement on campus, which resulted in police needing riot…
