DOGE

If you argue that fact-checking websites like PolitiFact should not be the final arbiter of what is true because they fact-check Republicans way more than Democrats, the response you are likely to get is because they deserve it. However, a Thursday article on Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer undermines that point because the article makes it clear that Schumer was wrong to blame the…

There is a new tradition emerging among the late night comedy shows: gushing over Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett and her attempts to be the liberal corner of the internet’s favorite congressperson.  CBS’s Stephen Colbert was the latest to get in on the trend on Monday as he welcomed Crockett to The Late Show to gush over some of her recent antics.

While the liberal media previously scoffed at the necessity of the Department of Government Accountability (DOGE), suggesting that the federal government wasn’t losing a significant amount of money through fraud, CBS’s 60 Minutes did something astounding on Sunday night: admit the truth. Cecilia Vega actually spoke with a former official with the Government Accountability Office (GAO…

The liberal media greeted President Trump’s 100-day mark Tuesday with a torrent of negative coverage, so it was no surprise when CBS used both of its evening news shows — CBS Evening News and CBS Evening News Plus — to nearly go wall-to-wall in spewing disgust at the Trump administration, almost trying to conjure up a recession and economic ruin.

A Media Research Center analysis of the ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts shows the new Trump administration has faced a withering 92% negative coverage, even worse than the relentlessly hostile coverage Trump faced in early 2017.

As Elon Musk starts to contemplate wrapping up DOGE’s mission to identify wasteful spending in the federal government and return to Tesla on a more full-time basis, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel had a suggestion. On Tuesday, he brought back an old STD bit and suggested to Musk that he sell the company to “someone more likeable, like chlamydia or AIDS.”

CBS News, the makers of such hits as “DOGE will make you catch Ebola” and “DOGE will get you eaten by bears” have just submitted a new entry into the DOGE-fear mongering genre: DOGE will cause air pollution in underserved communities. Cute, for sure, but there is a Stacey Abrams-sized hole in their reporting on DOGE-cut EPA grants.

For its daily Eye on America human-interest feature, the CBS Evening News ran a report on the use of food banks by individuals formerly considered to be “high-income”. The report’s content leaves viewers to reasonably wonder why CBS never ran such items over the prior 4 years. 

It was Democratic Senator Wednesday for the late night comedy shows. Before Elizabeth Warren appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Tammy Duckworth joined The Daily Show’s Ronny Chieng on Comedy Central to attempt to equate…

The Wednesday edition of CBS’s The Late Show was defined by host Stephen Colbert giving two odes to liberal budget priorities. First, Colbert insisted that PBS documentaries on transgender people in Ohio bowling leagues are of vital importance before marveling at Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s “righteous anger” at President Trump, Elon Musk, and DOGE.

Wednesday’s edition of the PBS News Hour took on yet another unlabeled liberal or Democrat-linked critic of Trump as its guest expert on an issue, this time defending the dubious idea of tax-related privacy rights for illegal immigrants against DOGE’s budget cuts to the IRS and warning the agency could well implode during tax season as a result: "For decades, the IRS encouraged…

CNN’s Anderson Cooper hosted a town hall with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders on Wednesday, and, even by CNN’s standards, it was quite the softball session. Not only did both men take advantage of fact-checker Daniel Dale apparently having better things to do with his time by accusing President Trump of “whitewashing American history,” but Cooper even invited the president of American University’s…

As a child I frequently visited relatives in southern Indiana. A great uncle tried to keep me from exploring his cellar (as they were called then) by telling me the boogeyman was down there and would “get you” if I descended the stairs. It worked. Boogeymen are nothing new. They have existed in the form of politicians going back to the founding of the country. See how Thomas Jefferson…

NBC’s report on the Pennsylvania limestone mine currently occupied by the Office of Personnel Management’s retirement division is insightful, clarifying, fun, and…should’ve aired a month and a half ago. Consider that reporting on things that would’ve been insightful a long time ago is its own form of omission.
