A New Age Begins in America
President Donald Trump is now officially the 47th president of the United States. Trump’s first inauguration in 2017 was marred by violence from the left; it was also surreal. The media were utterly shocked by Trump’s victory — Trump himself seemed shocked, too — and that disbelief translated into four years of extraordinary efforts to deny that Trump had indeed won, ranging from attacks on…
PBS Worries Trump May Impose 'Government Line' With Tech Supporters
Irony died multiple deaths on Thursday’s edition of Amanpour and Company on PBS.

ABC ‘News’: Ana Navarro Claims Trump Rolled Back Interracial Marriages
In a desperate effort to scare people into voting for Vice President Kamala Harris before the election, Whoopi Goldberg used her platform on ABC’s The View to falsely claims President Trump was going to break up interracial marriages and redistribute the white spouse.

Charlamagne Demands Dems Not Work With Man They Compared To Hitler
As Donald Trump began his second term, some Democrats expressed a willingness to work with him on certain issues, which struck radio host Charlamagne Tha God as odd considering they ran on treating Trump as a threat to democracy.

Meyers: Criticizing Woke Bishop 'A Good Sign That You're a Sociopath'
First, it was Jimmy Kimmel on Tuesday, then it was Stephen Colbert on Wednesday, and then finally it was NBC’s Seth Meyers on Thursday to round out the late night comedy shows’ staggered reaction to Episcopal Bishop Mariann Budde’s woke plea to President Donald Trump.

Column: Convicted Defamers at CNN Lecture on 'Deepfakes' Under Trump
On Inauguration Day, CNN host Jake Tapper warned about Big Tech execs: "We‘re about to enter an era of deepfakes, and all sorts of misinformation and the degree to which those five gentlemen play a role or do not play a role, will be pivotal in terms of where the American people are four years from now, in terms of understanding what is true and what is false.” CNN never misinforms?

PBS Holds Festival of Excuse-Making for Biden's Preemptive Pardons
On Monday, PBS News Hour’s White House reporter Laura Barron-Lopez called up the liberal media’s campaign-period name-calling of re-elected President Trump as “the convicted felon,” while skating over Biden’s preemptive family pardons.

Stephanie Ruhle & Co. Lament Americans Not Appreciating Dem ‘Burden’
It’s a good thing we have MSNBC to tell us just how reprehensible we, the American people are capable of being. At least, that was certainly the way things were portrayed in a discussion Wednesday night on MSNBC’s The 11th Hour hosted by Stephanie Ruhle, and featuring former GOP congressman David Jolly, Washington Post columnist Philip Bump, and Business Week writer Max…
ICYMI: Acosta Gets Smacked With Reality on Ratings by GOP’s Burchett
In clips that went viral on social media, Congressman Tim Burchett (R-TN) threw down Wednesday morning with CNN’s dead man walking Jim Acosta over January 6 and President Trump’s commutations and pardons for all those charged in the January 6, 2021 riot at the Capitol.

CNN’s Defamation Lawyer Lied to Judge, Forced to Apologize to Navy Vet
Largely lost in the coverage of witness testimony, breaking news of the liability verdict against CNN, and the subsequent settlement on punitive damages, was how CNN’s lead counsel David Axelrod (not to be confused with the CNN commentator of the same name) had repeatedly lied to Judge William Scott Henry and was dressed down in front of the court and streamed around the world because of it.…
Reid Thinks You're Dumb, Says DEI Is About Helping 'Disabled Veterans'
