On Friday’s PBS airing of Amanpour & Co., host Christiane Amanpour introduced “the Nobel prize winning economist, Paul Krugman, who's written his last column for The New York Times, after 25 years of sharp and often indispensable takes on major issues that shape America and the world.” But NewsBusters has compiled decades of research proving Krugman’s knee-jerk…

How will the latest shutdown showdown end? The media always use the threat of shutdowns to paint Republicans as heartless budget slashers, and that's especially fun for them at Christmas time. They paint federal employees as too broke to buy a Christmas tree.  Paul Teller of Advancing American Freedom talks about hopes for restricting federal spending in 2025 and beyond.

Joe Scarborough is frustrated by the Democrats having lost Ohio to the Republicans, despite low household income in Ohio, and yet voters supporting a Republican government "of, by, and for" billionaires.  If you just read the transcript, you might have thought it was Bernie Sanders, the socialist senator from Vermont, not Scarborough.

Thursday’s CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip — perhaps the most toxic show on television after ABC’s The View — beclowned itself with an opening block of host Abby Phillip, CNN political commentator Bakari Sellers, and the cartoonishly faux journalist Catherine Rampell of The Washington Post lectured former GOP Senate candidate Jeff Bartos and the great Scott Jennings with claims about…

The liberal ladies of ABC’s The View were not enthused by President-elect Trump being named TIME magazine’s Person of the Year of a second time. Amid lazy notations that “Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler” were also on the cover, Friday moderator Joy Behar lashed out at voters for electing Trump and declared that they were “misinformed” about their quality of life under the…

Between Thursday night and Friday morning, ABC, CBS, and NBC used their flagship morning and evening newscasts to promote a disinformation campaign first launched by The Bulwark’s Sam Stein to use President-Elect Trump’s comments about grocery prices to argue he can’t and won’t improve the lives of struggling Americans.

On Wednesday and Thursday, ABC and NBC have omitted from their flagship morning and evening newscasts the Wednesday morning release of the November inflation report (known as the Consumer Price Index) that showed the Biden economy coming to an end on a sputtering note with a jump in prices of 2.7 percent from this time a year ago. With the Federal Reserve and economists having hoped inflation…

Government excels at NOT getting things done. But politicians promise more things anyway. Kamala Harris declared that our government would “build thousands of miles of fiber-optic cable!” This “Broadband Connectivity Agenda” was supported by “every House Republican on Energy and Commerce,” write Republican representatives. Three years later, not a single person has been connected. Why? Because…

It finally happened. The New York Times’s ego-maniacal and perpetually wrong economics columnist is finally divorcing himself from his propaganda-mill column after nearly 25 years.

Some union leaders are self-destructive idiots.

America’s ports have fallen behind. Not a single one ranks in the top 50 worldwide. A big reason is that dock unions stop innovation. This fall, the International Longshoremen’s Association shut down East and Gulf coast ports, striking for a raise and a ban on automation. They got the raise. Now union president Harold Daggett says…

The Regime Media continue to be bitter and salty over the relationship between Tesla/SpaceX founder Elon Musk and President Elect Donald Trump. The latest installment in this ongoing series features CNN’s Kasie Hunt grousing over Musk’s having Thanksgiving dinner at Mar-a-Lago.

On Wednesday, CBS Mornings Plus gave a wide berth for National Urban League President Marc Morial to kvetch over Walmart announcing it’d be cutting back on its capitulation to wokeism and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs. Worse yet, CBS failed to show basic ethics by not mentioning Morial is married to CBS Saturday Morning co-host Michelle Miller.

As we gather this Thanksgiving, it’s easy to take abundance for granted. Leftovers are practically guaranteed. It wasn’t always this way. For most of history, there were no Thanksgiving feasts. Hunger, if not starvation, was the norm. Today, supermarkets are stocked with exotic foods from all over the world. Most of it is more affordable than ever. Even after President Joe Biden’s 8% inflation…

In a fear-mongering Morning Joe segment on Trump's proposed tariffs, reporter Hallie Jackson literally points the finger, warning that companies would often pass tariffs down to "you," the consumer. No word of to whom companies would have passed the huge corporate tax increase that Kamala Harris proposed.
