Iran

The combined political and liberal media counteroffensive against President Trump was underway within hours of the Iran strikes. As Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez launched a frontal assault on Trump’s decision — declaring the military action “clearly grounds for impeachment” — the New York Times provided covering fire, unleashing a barrage of skepticism about the justification for the…

ABC chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl joined Saturday’s Good Morning America to discuss any possible political fallout from President Trump’s decision to attack Iran. Despite polling showing Republicans broadly supportive of the idea before Saturday, Karl suggested there is “potential for significant blowback” from the MAGA base.

“A short time ago, the United States began major combat operations in Iran,” President Donald Trump announced Saturday morning in a brief address providing hope to Iranian citizens and explaining to Americans how the action is vital to world safety.

After the United States and Israel began combat operations against Iran, NBC’s Peter Alexander and Laura Jarrett welcomed Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to Saturday’s edition of Today to get his perspective. The worst part of the interview was when Jarrett opened up the floor for Araghchi to give his “message to the president," which consisted of an airing of grievances that…

After Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s rebuttal speech to President Trump’s State of the Union address, PBS News Hour’s foreign policy reporter Nick Schifrin nitpicked President Trump’s claim about the carnage in Iran. There’s an ideological point to casting doubt on the estimated number of peaceful protesters killed by the Iranian regime, given that Trump may be building up U.S.…

As we’ve documented recently at NewsBusters, CBS’s flagship newscasts have shown little wholesale changes under editor-in-chief Bari Weiss that we both initially saw and as had been reported. Instead, it’s been more of the same liberal drivel. But ironically, there have been a few moments at NBC where it’s come across as this was the network she actually leads and such was the case on…

In reacting Wednesday to President Trump’s 2026 State of the Union address, ABC’s Good Morning America followed its tiresome pattern of being all Trump hate, all the time by repeating an absurd 11 times the President’s grappling with negative polling and went out to deliver a speech that consisted of “brutally harsh” “partisan attacks” and irresponsibly “paint[ed] a rosy picture” of…

Before flying out to Davos, President Donald Trump sat down with Katie Pavlich for an extensive interview on her new and eponymous program. The interview was significant, newsworthy, and a refreshing departure from the usual Elitist Media fare. 

A bitterly sarcastic Jordan Klepper tried to keep alive the idea that supporting the Iranian protestors is incompatible with seeing nothing wrong in how ICE is operating in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Wednesday’s episode of The Daily Show on Comedy Central.

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel and Comedy Central’s Monday host of The Daily Show, Jon Stewart, tried to claim there was some sort of logical disconnect between the Trump administration’s response to the Minneapolis shooting involving Renee Good and ICE agent Jonathan Ross on one hand and its threats towards Iran as the regime shoots protestors on the other.

On CBS’s streaming service, former CBS Evening News host Norah O’Donnell sounded more like a propagandist for Iranian state television during her Monday interview with Reza Pahlavi, the exiled crown prince of Iran. Throughout the interview, O’Donnell blamed Pahlavi for the reported 2,000 deaths of Iranian civilians (a growing number), suggested that trying to overthrow the government…

With the leftist media only just arriving at the civil uprising in Iran threating to topple the Islamic regime, which has been going on for days, NBC News was downplaying it as just limited protests reacting to poor economic conditions. Meanwhile, their competitors at ABC and CBS were actually keeping their audiences up to date by noting the protests had expanded, not just across the country,…

After President Trump’s speech at the Israeli Knesset on Monday, MSNBC contributors tag-teamed a critique of his actions against Iran and his international diplomatic capabilities. This included affirmation for the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, a failed Obama-era treaty that primed Iran for nuclear weapons capabilities.

On Thursday, just a few days before the one year anniversary of President Trump almost being killed, Comedy Central’s Ronny Chieng and The Daily Show’s audience found great amusement in Iran’s recent threats to assassinate Trump, not so much because Chieng actually wants him dead, but because it gave them an opportunity to mock Trump’s physical appearance.
