Legacy News Billed ‘Maryland Dad’ Over Abbey Gate Gold Star Families
The legacy evening newscasts made an awful editorial choice tonight. Faced with a decision to spotlight families of our fallen service members or continue to cast “Maryland Dad” Kilmar Abrego García as a victim, they chose the latter.
Jake Tapper: I'm Not Blaming Trump For Five Dead Ukrainians, But...
On Sunday's edition of CNN's State of the Union, host Jake Tapper three times mentioned that Russian attacks killed five Ukrainians after President Trump's meeting with Putin ended without a ceasefire.

Kessler Claims He Fact-Checked GOP More Because It Is In Power
Former Washington Post colleagues Glenn Kessler and Jen Rubin reunited on August 4 on Rubin’s The Contrarian podcast to discuss Kessler’s departure from the Post’s Fact Checker page.

Leavitt Opens Briefing With Tim Pool, BLASTS Left Over ‘Maryland Man’
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt opened Tuesday’s press briefing on a heater, spreading far and wide facts the liberal media have refused to properly spotlight on the meteoric fall of border crossings and then turning to Timcast’s Tim Pool for a question about the liberal media’s coddling of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
CNBC Host SCHOOLS Dem Senator on Afghanistan vs. Signalgate, DOGE
In a 10-and-a-half-minute battle early Friday, CNBC’s Squawk Box co-host Joe Kernen dueled Senator Chris Coons (D-DE) over the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) work to address our unsustainable national debt and the left’s double standard in having refused to demand any accountability for Joe Biden’s deadly U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and Secretary of Defense Lloyd…
Network Morning Shows Slog Through Recaps of ‘Partisan’ Trump Speech
On Wednesday morning, it remained evident ABC, CBS, and NBC were still largely uninterested in and almost seemed burdened by having to cover Tuesday night’s address by President Trump to a joint session of Congress. It predictably lacked the ebullience from their takes on Joe Biden’s 2024 State of the Union, but also the outright hostility from the four speeches in Trump’s first term. …
The 18 Best Battles, Hardballs, Smackdowns From the Biden WH Briefings
With the final White House press briefing on Wednesday afternoon, we’re looking back at the best hardballs, tussles, and moments over the hundreds of Biden administration press briefings, primarily helmed by Jen Psaki and Karine Jean-Pierre.

ABC Hurls Tattoo Smear at Hegseth, NBC Mad About Afghanistan Review
Surprisingly, the major broadcast networks had avoided the false, manufactured conspiracy theory about Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth’s Christian tattoos being symbols of white supremacy, but that ended Monday with ABC’s Good Morning America diving in without apology. It came a day after the same show whined that Hegseth’s arrival at the Pentagon would be “cultural shock…
Scott Jennings Completely BREAKS CNN Panel, Multiple Meltdowns Ensue
The left is still early into the multiple stages of grief resulting from the election of Donald Trump as the 47th President of the United States. The most recent panel discussion on CNN’s NewsNight with Abby Phillips put that post-electoral Trump derangement for the whole world to see.
Tools: WH Reporters Hijack Briefing on Milton to Hold Trump Hatefest
Thursday’s White House press briefing appropriately had a central focus of late Wednesday’s landfall of Hurricane Milton on Florida’s Gulf Coast and tornadoes across the state, but the partisan shills chose to ask a slew of questions emphasizing about this vague “misinformation” campaign they claim has had catastrophic consequences in the south as somehow on part with apocalyptic physical…
Kirby Accidentally Includes Fox in WH E-Mail Trashing Vets on 9/11
On Wednesday, White House National Security Council communications adviser John Kirby inadvertently included Fox News Digital in a dismissive email ripping four military veterans on the 23rd anniversary of 9/11 as unworthy of responding to for their criticism of the Biden-Harris withdrawal from Afghanistan, adding they were merely a “‘handful’ of vets...and all of one stripe”.
ABC’s Pre-Debate Show Was Tire Fire of Lefty Hackery (Like the Debate)
With World News Tonight anchor David Muir co-moderating Tuesday’s presidential debate, co-hosting duties for the hour-long pre-game show fell to This Week co-hosts and longtime ABC correspondent Jonathan Karl and Martha Raddatz alongside chief White House correspondent Mary Bruce and senior congressional correspondent Rachel Scott. Simply put, it was a disaster of the highest…
Top CBS Shows Skip Own Journo Pressing Biden-Harris WH on Afghanistan
Monday’s White House press briefing led off with national security spokesman and frequent Karine Jean-Pierre crutch John Kirby defending the Biden-Harris administration’s deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan in light of a House Foreign Affairs Committee report, arguing they’ve done plenty of soul-searching, but feel proud of what happened and want to move on. Thankfully, a few reporters had some…
