NYT Warns of Campus Reform's 'Conservative Attack on Higher Education'
Tuesday’s front-page New York Times headline sounded concerning: “Voice on Right Pioneers Siege On Campuses.” A multi-pronged “siege” of college campuses?

AP's Pathetic Story on UCLA's Jew Exclusion Zone Omits Awful Details
Associated Press reporter Julie Watson’s Tuesday night story on UCLA’s settlement with three Jewish students and a Jewish professor, over the university failing to protect their civil rights against anti-Semitic campus mobs, was suspiciously vague on the actual allegations.

PBS’s Anti-Semitism Expert: Columbia Settlement Was ‘Ransom’ to Trump
The taxpayer-defunded PBS News Hour Wednesday retained its hostility (as documented in a Media Research Center study) against the Trump administration protecting Jewish students and faculty from the Hamasniks marauding elite liberal campuses in protest of Israel’s defensive war in Gaza.

PBS Warns Of 'Institutional Capture' As Columbia Settles With Trump
Even by its own standards, the weekly Friday news recap featuring PBS News Hour host Geoff Bennett, Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart, and New York Times columnist David Brooks was especially tone-deaf and unintelligent.

CNN Thinks Enforcing Civil Rights Is ‘Fascism’ and ‘Extortion’
If you watched Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN NewsNight, Ana Navarro and Keith Boykin would have you believe Donald Trump is “extorting” Columbia University and running a “fascist” operation from the White House.

NPR's Extremism Reporter Only Finds Extremism in Trump Protecting Jews
NPR’s radical “domestic extremism correspondent” Odette Yousef took an insane angle on the Trump Administration’s efforts to punish Harvard University for failing to protect Jewish students from anti-semitism on campus – twisting it into Trump trying to halt the arc of racial justice. The online transcript of Tuesday’s NPR’s flagship news program All Things Considered featured this…

Ruhle Laments Policy Changes After Boulder Firebombing Attack
MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle traveled over to HBO and Real Time with Bill Maher on Friday to discuss the Trump Administration, Harvard, and the recent firebombing attack in Boulder, Colorado.

Daily Show Spreads Fake News About SCOTUS, Labels It 'Snowflakes'
Leah Litman is a law professor, podcaster, author, and on Wednesday, a fake news-peddling guest on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show. During her appearance with Michael Kosta, Litman came across as a profoundly unserious person who took quotes from conservative Supreme Court justices wildly out of context and was more interested in name-calling.

PBS Host: I Prepared For US Visit 'As If I Was Going to North Korea'
CNN/PBS anchor and self-styled journalist Christiane Amanpour recently gave a wild, anti-Trump commencement speech at Harvard where she invoked everything from 1984 to Benito Mussolini, but that may not have been the wildest part of her recent trip to America. On her Tuesday podcast installment of The Ex Files—so named because she co-hosts it with her ex-husband, Jamie Rubin—…

On May 19, 60 Minutes’s Scott Pelley went to Wake Forest University to give what was advertised as a commencement speech but in reality was a partisan diatribe warning that President Trump is a threat to all things good and decent.

LOL: Liberal MSNBC Sports Guy Denies Harvard Is 'Hotbed of Liberalism'
Morning Joe regular Pablo Torre, a Harvard alum who comments on sports and politics, denies that Harvard is a "hotbed of liberalism." His one bit of evidence in support of his claim is that the basic economics course at Harvard USED to be taught by an economic adviser to President Reagan. Torre ignores studies like the 2022 one revealing that "more than 80 percent of Harvard faculty…
