Conservative Twitter buzzed about Speaker McCarthy letting a PBS reporter have it about Adam Schiff, and the "independent fact checkers" like Glenn Kessler of The Washington Post and CNN's Daniel Dale are demonstrating again that they tilt their targeting at Republicans.

Friday's annual March for Life drew some assorted news stories (not from ABC). MRCTV's Tierin-Rose Mandelburg joins the show to discuss her video from the protest scene, and how pro-abortion people struggled with her questions. Also: NBC's Chuck Todd mangles facts in his memory of the Monica Lewinsky affair 25 years ago.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough has angrily ranted against Donald Trump the "fascist," so why is he now saying he's the Muhammad Ali of GOP contenders? And why did CNN's Don Lemon attempt to wear a hoodie with a suit jacket on morning TV? Mark Finkelstein joins the show to discuss his take based on his years of experience on the AM news-busting beat. 

Brian Stelter sighting! The former CNN host resurfaced at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland to moderate a panel on crushing "disinformation." He made it sound like a European version of his old show Reliable Sources, asking his fellow leftists how they manage a world in which Donald Trump is still proving that "lying works."

It's truly puzzling. Why does Meet the Press host Chuck Todd keep inviting on Senator Ron Johnson, attacking him, and then getting angry Johnson bites back about bias? It's funny. But why would he think anyone would believe him when he says "I'm a journalist, I have to deal in facts!"

The ratings of Tuesday's Golden Globe Awards telecast on NBC fell again from its last airing in 2021. Awards shows now feature a lot of woke lecturing and reward obscure movies and TV shows many people haven't seen.

CBS broke the news on Monday that Biden's lawyers disclosed they have discovered classified documents in an office at the University of Pennsylvania’s Biden Center in the nation's capital. The "roughly 10" documents are from President Biden's vice-presidential office at the center, which opened in 2018.

President Biden's visit to the border in El Paso was greeted by liberal media operatives in two noticeable ways. Either they sympathized with Biden's work on this "complex" issue, or -- like NPR's Steve Inskeep -- they asked Team Biden "why" they would tell people not to come to America and cross the border illegally? MRC Latino Director Jorge Bonilla offers his expertise on these matters.

After all the House speaker votes amid January 6 drama, CNN pundit Jonah Goldberg slammed conservatives voting against Kevin McCarthy as a RINO loser is a "fantasy" that "these guys are getting high on their own farts in the Fox green room."  Goldberg went on to insult NewsBusters, so we evaluate it all.

Regardless of your opinion on the conservative bloc refusing to vote for Kevin McCarthy for House Speaker, it's another occasion where we can witness the news media underlining conservative extremism, when they almost never identify left-wing extremism.

He promised he'd be so much nicer to the press than President Trump, but President Biden gave only 7 interviews to journalists in 2022 and called only 5 solo press conferences. Curtis Houck joins the show to discuss how Biden and his press secretaries performed, and how some journalists pressed for serious answers.

The media elites pounced on the finding that Congressman-elect George Santos (R-New York) lied about nearly everything on his political resume. Conservatives responded with Biden's many tall tales about his life. What is "whataboutism" and why is it objectionable?

Festivus is supposed to be about the airing of grievances, but Christians can feel that our cultural institutions, from the media to public schools, try to inhibit the message of Christmas as divisive, as not "inclusive"...as if Jesus didn't come to speak to the "marginalized." 

The networks are urging everyone on board with the latest $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill, and no one needs to read its 4,155 pages. Just vote yes. When Democrats pass bills or push criminal indictments of Trump, it's "historic."
