Covert Liberal Activists

A federal judge ordered the release of Columbia student agitator and protest organizer Mahmoud Khalil from ICE detention. Naturally, it was a matter of time before the legacy media fell over themselves to score that exclusive interview. ABC News ended up scoring the interview, and it was as disgusting as you’d expect.

Over the course of this second Trump administration, the legacy media selected several poster children for immigration before settling on alleged MS-13 ganbanger and accused human trafficker Kilmar Abrego Garcia. The first of these, though, was Columbia student agitator Mahmoud Khalil- who spent the past several months in ICE custody and was turned into a cause celébre. Now that he’s…

Media reaction to news of the U.S. bombing of critical Iranian nuclear sites was mixed at best, as evidenced by initial Saturday night coverage. Below is a compendium of some of those reactions, which ranged from plain goofy to outright awful. 

The media are trying to collect themselves in the immediate aftermath of Operation Midnight Hammer- the U.S. mission to destroy critical Iranian nuclear facilities at Natanz, Esfahan and Fordow. As we see on CBS’s Face the Nation, some have decided to do the same old thing as always and get wrecked for their efforts.

It is clear that CBS Evening News Plus exists primarily as a vehicle for anchor John Dickerson’s self-righteous windbaggery. As such, viewers have been subjected to yet another eye roll-inducing editorial. 

A bizarre “Eye on America” segment on the beleaguered CBS Evening News left reasonable viewers wondering whether they drifted off to Castro’s Cuba or the former East Germany. The term “regime media”, mockingly bestowed upon the legacies when Democrats are in power, just got disturbingly real.

In a landmark ruling, the Supreme Court of the United States held that Tennessee had a constitutional right to ban hormonal and surgical child mutilation, more commonly referred to by its NewSpeakian nomenclature: “gender-affirming health care.” In covering this landmark ruling, the legacy media chose to identify as “sad.”

Covering politicians getting themselves performatively arrested these days is not unlike watching an outbreak: first one patient, then another, until the whole town is infected. And as is the case with their outbreak coverage, the media are excessively hyping these performative arrests.

In an effort to create the illusion of wanton violence against left-wing protesters, ABC World News Tonight anchor David Muir melodramatically oversold a driver incident in Los Angeles. Viewers are gaslit into believing that the driver plowed “through the crowd” despite watching video proving that no such thing happened.

We regret to inform you that MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow had another normal one. During an interminable “No Kings” rant to open her eponymous show, she thought she was making fun of Brevard County, Florida Sheriff Wayne Ivey. Instead, she further embarrassed herself in front of her audience.

ABC News proves once again that they are physically and pathologically unable to contain their Trump Derangement. The latest example: their coverage of the U.S. Army’s 250th Anniversary Parade on the Sunday edition of ABC World News Tonight.

We regret to inform you that CBS’s Margaret Brennan is at it again. Brennan attempted to chastise Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) over his most recent op-ed in The Wall Street Journal, with its language evocative of the 2020 New York Times op-ed that triggered a newsroom revolt. 

NBC Nightly News was the only legacy media evening newscast to air an item on the investigation into the use of the autopen during the Biden Administration. But, in what could be an early sign of what to expect in the Tom Llamas Era, the purpose of the report was to firefight the allegations rather than air them.

There is nothing Elite Acela media hate more than getting checked by a conservative after trying to sneak in a bad-faith question premised on a bad-faith frame. Such is the case of CNN’s Abby Phillip, who had an absolute meltdown after getting called out by Scott Jennings and Brad Todd for suggesting that Education Secretary Linda McMahon tried to both-sides the Holocaust in a Congressional…
