CNN’s lead counsel in the $1 billion defamation trial against them, David Axelrod (not to be confused with the CNN commentator of the same name) had yet another angry outburst at a witness on the stand, on Friday. After going berserk on Navy veteran and Plaintiff Zachary Young the previous day, decorated Army Major General James V. Young (no relation to the plaintiff) was in Axelrod’s sights;…

On Friday morning in his Substack, our friend Erick Erickson wrote that the national media’s Trump-focused and Democratic-defensive coverage of the California wildfires has led him to believe “[i]t’s time to let the press hit rock bottom” and even had him “starting to wish ill on the American press” even though “[t]he country needs it” and the powerful deserve to be held to account.

On Wednesday morning’s segment of The View, following Meta’s announcement concerning its change in fact checking, hosts were up in arms and ready to argue. What started out as a conversation regarding the necessity of fact checking soon cascaded into the classic argument for free speech. Surprisingly Alyssa Farah Griffin, often noted as the table’s often-wavering conservative, stepped up to…

“February was the wettest month in downtown Los Angeles since 1998. With over 12 inches of rain drenching the city, it was the fourth-wettest February -- and the seventh-wettest month overall -- in the city’s nearly 150-year recorded history,” said Judson Jones’ report on Los Angeles’ weather on March 2, 2024, in The New York Times. Just under a year later, Los Angeles is on fire and…

In a dramatic moment on FOX 11's Good Day LA, anchor Melvin Robert denied claims of a water shortage affecting firefighters during the Los Angeles wildfires, only to be contradicted by his colleague on-site, Gigi Graciette. This mishap, which spotlighted media bias and spin, led to a stir on social media, where viewers mocked Robert's failed attempt to dismiss former mayoral candidate Rick…

Winning the 2024 election was only the beginning — the Trump effect is now sweeping the globe. From Canada to the U.K. and continental Europe, left-liberal governments are tottering while right-leaning voters, especially young men, gravitate toward populist politics and take inspiration from Donald Trump’s success in America. It’s almost as if Trump himself were on the ballot in other advanced…

It was a bad week for those on the left who try to censor their opponents. First, Meta announced it would ditch the fact-checkers who think they are entitled to be the final arbiters of truth and censor anyone who dissents. Now, the media’s favorite professor of climate alarmism, Michael Mann, has been forced to pay nearly $600,000 in legal fees to National Review after a frivolous lawsuit…

In a fit of world-class revisionism, Morning Joe credits Jimmy Carter, more than Ronald Reagan, for the fall of the Soviet Union, and analogizes Carter to Abraham Lincoln.

NBC’s Seth Meyers and Comedy Central’s Desi Lydic both attacked President-elect Donald Trump on their respective Thursday editions of Late Night and The Daily Show for politicizing the Los Angeles wildfires with his attacks on President Joe Biden and Gov. Gavin Newsom. Both argued such attacks were not only unseemly but factually wrong; however, both blamed climate change for…

As the Los Angeles-area wildfires continue to burn, the leftist media have found almost every possible way to explain what caused them, while ignoring the obvious facts. On Wednesday’s The 11th Hour, MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle brought in University of Pennsylvania professor and longtime climate alarmist Dr. Michael Mann to hypothesize about the fires as a direct effect of climate change…

CBS reporter Lesley Stahl gushed during Jimmy Carter's state funeral that "He turns out not to have been a weak president at all." But when Ronald Reagan died in 2004, CBS and others maligned Reagan as a historical figure.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s startling announcement that his company’s Facebook and Instagram sites would drop its censorious fact-checking process scared the press and leftist academics, who would no longer be able to use pseudo-scientific concepts like “misinformation” to silence conservative debate on issues like COVID, radical Islam, Black Lives Matter, and “climate change.” Tuesday’s…

As the Los Angeles wildfires rage on, the corporate media are compelled to cover some of the issues that have emerged. But as we see with NBC’s coverage of the shortage of water for fire hydrants, there is a reluctance to cover underlying political incompetence. 

Thursday was the most eventful day in the $1 billion defamation suit against CNN - so far - as the testimony of Navy veteran and Plaintiff Zachary Young concluded. The previous day’s emotional testimony from Young seemed to temper the ability for CNN’s lead counsel David Axelrod (not to be confused with CNN commentator David Axelrod) to be combative and accusatory. With a night of rest after…
