Foreign Policy

Wednesday afternoon brought us the final Biden White House press briefing and, by her own count, the 306th featuring the ever-inept Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. It featured Jean-Pierre emotionally patting herself on the back, plenty of unanswered questions (mostly stemming from the monumental Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal), the final Jacqui Time, and even Jean-Pierre doing her own…

CBS’s 60 Minutes put together a piece on Sunday about the 13 U.S. government officials who have resigned in protest over the role the country has played in helping Israel battle Hamas. Throughout the report, viewers were left to conclude that the best way to fight terrorism is to surrender to it and that terrorists should run U.S. foreign policy because our decision to help Israel…

On Monday and Tuesday, CBS, CNN, and MSNBC each dedicated a segment to the self-described geopolitical consultant firm Eurasia Group’s annual release of its Top Risks for the coming year. Unsurprisingly, the list was dominated by anti-Trump fearmongering, ranging from his aversion to globalist organizations (first) to a cartoonish view of his presidency being one of creeping authoritarianism (…

On CNN This Morning, Dem Susan Wild, defeated in November for re-election as a congresswoman from Pennsylvania, floated the absurd notion that if Trump ordered an attack on Greenland, it could trigger Section 5 of the NATO treaty, requiring NATO to come to the defense of Denmark, of which Greenland is an autonomous territory. That's to say, Wild was suggesting that NATO would have to attack US…

President emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations Richard Haass had an interesting take on Tuesday’s installment of Morning Joe on MSNBC. Ahead of former President Jimmy Carter’s state funeral, he claimed that Carter was actually the “forerunner” to Ronald Reagan.

The hagiography of President Jimmy Carter, who died on Sunday at age 100, continued Monday evening on the tax-funded PBS News Hour. The online headline summarized: “A look at Carter’s accomplishments as president and his legacy as a human rights champion.” President Ronald Reagan certainly didn’t get that treatment for ending the Cold War by pushing the Soviets into the dustbin of…

Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States, has died at the age of 100, and the New York Times gargantuan obit made it onto Monday’s front page: “Jimmy Carter, Peacemaking President Amid Crises, Is Dead at 100 -- Rising from Georgia farmland to the White House, he oversaw the historic Camp David peace accords, but his one-term presidency was waylaid by troubles at…

Unfortunately for correspondent Aaron Gilchrist (and the crew), while ABC and CBS seemingly gave their political correspondents the day off, NBC’s Today made him trek out to the White House on a cold, post-Christmas Thursday morning to do a live shot to help them pearl clutch over President-elect Trump’s social media posts. They were left concerned by Trump’s Christmas foreign policy…

On CNN This Morning, CNN senior political analyst Mark Preston says that when Trump increases the tariffs on China, when you go to Walmart, you're not going to get something for like $3.99. It's going to be $13.99." That's an increase of 250%! Trump has proposed increasing existing tariffs on Chinese goods by only 10%. So where's the additional 240% coming from?
 

How will the media and Democratic pundits explain Vice President Kamala Harris’ stunning defeat? How will the media and Democratic pundits explain former President Donald Trump’s incredible recapture of the White House, the most improbable comeback since heavyweight champion George Foreman regained the title at age 45 having lost it 20 years earlier?

CBS News was largely dominated late Tuesday into Wednesday by out-of-touch, elitist tongue lashings toward Trump voters as too stupid to understand how the economy works, ABC News had takes of their own that, surprisingly, grew largely more and more sensible as the night wore on, creating a remarkable turn for a few hours by the network with the horribly biased and hostile newscasts, Good…

During the overnight hours of Tuesday into Wednesday, CBS was in the midst of an epic, hours-long meltdown over what was then the impending reelection of Donald Trump to the presidency. Over the course of eight hours, CBS journalists heaped scorn on Americans for refusing to accept “the facts” about the Biden-Harris economy, unfairly blamed Biden for “the cost of your rent,” claimed voters…

Jeff Bezos wrote "Most people believe the media is biased. Anyone who doesn’t see this is paying scant attention to reality, and those who fight reality lose." On Friday, the media fought reality in claiming Donald Trump threatened Liz Cheney with death.

During Friday’s edition of CBS Mornings, White House correspondent Nancy Cordes falsely accused Donald Trump of musing “about executing Liz Cheney” the previous night. Not only did Cordes pervert Trump’s words, she used the misrepresentation to claim that they affirm Kamala Harris’s argument that “he is a wannabe autocrat bent on revenge.”
