In his past life, Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth did some things he is not proud of but insists that he is a different man today. Instead of celebrating Hegseth’s transformation, the late night comedians mocked his pledge not to drink on the job on their Wednesday shows and attacked his mom for defending him.

With Pete Hegseth's nomination as Secretary of Defense reportedly in trouble, CNN This Morning boosted Ron DeSantis for the position.  Meanwhile, over on Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough & Co. had great fun mocking Lindsey Graham. They depicted Graham as a Johnny-come-lately to the group of Senators expressing serious reservations about Hegseth's nomination. He was a "lagging indicator."

Surprisingly, the major broadcast networks had avoided the false, manufactured conspiracy theory about Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth’s Christian tattoos being symbols of white supremacy, but that ended Monday with ABC’s Good Morning America diving in without apology. It came a day after the same show whined that Hegseth’s arrival at the Pentagon would be “cultural shock…

As the Regime Media focus their attention on the Trump cabinet picks, it becomes essential to establish new narratives. The anchors and reporters will often do this themselves, but sometimes they will look the other way as politicians do so. 

During a discussion on the necessity of the Senate’s role in advising and consenting to cabinet appointees on MSNBC’s Friday edition of The Beat with Ari Melber, activist and lawyer Maya Wiley took a bit of a detour to attack Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth for allegedly having “white supremacist and extremist tattoos.”

On her Wednesday show, MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell spread misinformation by suggesting Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth opposes the existence of female military pilots, thereby disrespecting those women who have suffered greatly in service to their country. On Thursday, instead of issuing a correction, Mitchell doubled down and repeated the claim.

The Daily Show’s Jordan Klepper managed to mangle not one but two ramifications of President-elect Donald Trump nominating Army veteran and Fox News host Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense. First, Klepper gave a false impression of what Hegseth meant when he said women should not be in combat roles, and second, he claimed the first false impression means that “in Trump’s America…

Attempting to undercut Trump's nomination of Pete Hegseth as Defense Secretary, Morning Joe misled on the key issue of the physical fitness of female soldiers. After playing a clip of Hegseth expressing his opposition to women in combat, the show brought on NBC national security editor David Rohde, who said: "I think clips like the one you played will raise major issues. There are women in…

Ever since President-elect Donald Trump made the surprising announcement that he intends to nominate veteran and Fox News host Pete Hegseth to be Secretary of Defense, the media has tried to portray him as a troublesome right-wing culture warrior. However, MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell took things one step further on Wednesday as she spread straight up fake news about Hegseth.

On Friday morning, CNN host Jim Acosta opened the show with a segment fretting over President-elect Donald Trump planning a "radical ultranationalist agenda" as he was joined by Democrat Congressman Brendan Boyle of Pennsylvania.

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 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.”

HBO’s Bill Maher scolded the media on Friday’s edition of Real Time Overtime for their claims that Donald Trump called for former Rep. Liz Cheney to be shot. Maher’s rebuke was not out of any love for Trump, but a demand that the media not “lie to me” because the real context of Trump’s actual remarks was something that “hippies used to say.”

According to The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg, former President Donald Trump was dismayed at the cost of the funeral of Army Private Vanessa Guillen, a child of Mexican immigrants who was brutally murdered at Fort Hood in 2020. As Goldberg tells it, Trump raged, “It doesn’t…
