Tell the Truth 2024

Three days before Christmas, the nation is horrified to learn details of the murder by fire of a woman on the New York city subway. The one legacy media newscast that bothered to report this story omitted significant details regarding the suspect’s immigration status.

Christmas may be upon us but politics rests for no one, as we see on CNN State of the Union. Host Dana Bash once again tries to push the tired “King Elon” narrative but CNN commentator Scott Jennings was there to quickly and expeditiously shut it down.

It appears that the Regime Media, which just a few months ago breathlessly covered every aspect of civil and criminal litigation against former and future President Donald J. Trump, now have little interest in updating the status of one of the pending trials. There was nary a peep on the network evening newscasts about the disqualification of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from…

The Regime Media went into full meltdown mode over the death of the 1500-page cromnibus bill that went down in flames once DOGE chairs Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy became aware of some of the bill’s provisions. D.C. media reacted at the very un-D.C. pressure placed upon the cromnibus with equal parts shock and horror.

At this stage, the motive of the Madison school shooter seems pretty clear, but the network news seems hesitant to report what it is. Of course, this generally means that the motive is inconvenient to prevailing leftwing narratives or identity politics. This case is not the exception.

The DOGE chainsaw won’t officially rumble to life for another 34 days, but one of its potential targets insists on calling attention to itself. The Public Broadcasting System (PBS), although taxpayer-funded, insists on pretending it is MSNBC as it covers House Democrat committee chair races.

Part of the reason that there is a crisis of confidence in the media is because of the sense of absolute moral certitude with which they look down upon anyone who strays from the preordained consensus, even as they themselves spit out active disinformation. As CNN’s Abby Phillip demonstrates, sometimes these efforts fail hilariously.

Outgoing CBS Evening News anchor Norah O’Donnell is making the most of her remaining time at the Tiffany Network. Tonight’s final story stood as an ode to Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, and to her cameo performance in a Broadway play.

Today, upon signing off of his eponymous weekly public affairs show, Univision anchor Jorge Ramos officially departed the broadcast airwaves. At least for now. And our political discourse, particularly within the Hispanic community, is vastly better off for it.

NBC’s Meet the Depressed pulled off an interesting feat today, wrapping a justification of the murder of the CEO of United HealthCare into an attempted cleanup of the previous justification that ran on NBC air time.

The immediate aftermath of ABC’s defamation settlement with President-Elect Donald Trump coincided with George Stephanopoulos’s scheduled turn to host ABC This Week. Stephanopoulos’s presentation was cosmetically muted, but unchanged in terms of bilious bias and disregard for facts.

On the one hand of the issue of the CEO shooting, you have reasoned vioces rightly calling the shooter a coward and indicating that violence is not the answer in the face of such disputes. On the other, you have The Artist Formerly Known as Jerry Rivers giving the shooter credit for driving the discussion on healthcare reform.

The murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson continues to dominate the headlines. In the wake of the horrific shooting, the media have taken the left’s cue and begun to provide coverage that “bothsides” and normalizes murder.

Over at CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip, AKA “The Thunderdome”, Scott Jennings delivered a dose of brutal truth to the panel discussing coverage of all manner of things related to the alleged shooter of the CEO of UnitedHealthCare. Some shooters are covered differently than others, and reasonable people may wonder whether there is a (D)ifference in how they are covered.
