Protesters

Friday’s Amanpour & Co. show on PBS celebrated Mahmoud Khalil, who led an extreme anti-Israel (and pro-Hamas) protest group at Columbia University. Amanpour asserted he was detained as part of “Trump's crackdown on free speech, immigration, and elite universities.” There is no First Amendment right to support violence and terrorist groups.

Between Thursday night on ABC and Friday morning on CBS and NBC, the major broadcast networks used their flagship newscasts to side with the illegal immigrants — some of them underage — being rounded up Thursday afternoon by Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) officials outside Los Angeles, decrying the “alarming” and “disturbing” scenes. But what kind of farms, you ask? Well, marijuana…

In Friday’s online NPR piece “The story behind the arrest of 87-year-old veteran John Spitzberg at the Capitol,” Alina Hartounian, who edits and writes for NPR.org, made a hero of an elderly activist protesting the recent U.S. military parade, who got arrested. NPR played the feisty old man angle hard to an embarrassing extent. The report began in medias res, the reporter striving to…

Question: How large does a protest have to be for the liberal media to consider it a “groundswell”?

Answer: If it’s a leftist protest, you can have less than ten, according to CBS.

Interviewing protesters live can be risky. On Saturday, MSNBC's Jacob Soboroff was happily interviewing people on a highway overpass who want ICE out of Los Angeles when one masked leftist called President Trump a "f---ing felon" on TV. Guest anchor Stephanie Ruhle apologized. "Clearly, emotions are running hot today."

We regret to inform you that CBS’s Margaret Brennan is at it again. Brennan attempted to chastise Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) over his most recent op-ed in The Wall Street Journal, with its language evocative of the 2020 New York Times op-ed that triggered a newsroom revolt. 

As Los Angeles burst into riots this week over a federal immigration raid, one protester took to his social media channels to explain just what was going on -- why arsonists armed with Palestinian flags stood alongside vandals armed with Palestinian flags, why some masked protesters hurled rocks at police cars while others summoned automated Waymo taxis only to set them on fire. His…

The riots that kicked off in Los Angeles last weekend aren’t just about illegal immigration — they’re part of a revolutionary movement. “Anti-colonialism” is a term often heard in America’s college classrooms, but off campus virtually no one takes it seriously. It’s just another harebrained radical academic theory, right? Yes, the theory is mostly silly — but the practice is deadly serious.…

Wednesday afternoon’s White House press briefing was a fun one as Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt wasn’t having it with liberal journalists at Agence France-Presse (AFP), The New York Times, NOTUS, and Reuters trying to trap the Trump administration with questions about President Trump’s ironclad commitment to restoring law and order in Los Angeles following riots last weekend.

Tuesday’s PBS News Hour led off with special correspondent Marcia Biggs’ nearly nine-minute segment from downtown Los Angeles, ground zero in the confrontation between Trump’s immigration enforcement and protests that often devolved into looting and rioting. Co-anchors Amna Nawaz and Geoff Bennett noted that “700 Marines and 2,000 additional National Guard troops began arriving” on…

One of the week’s most inaccurate and biased statements was “there is no vicious and violent mob in Los Angeles.” This claim did not come from some fringe angry online social media user, but was pushed by MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell on Tuesday night’s broadcast of The Last Word. Clearly, this take was not only just extremely out of touch with reality, but a bald-faced lie. 

Even though CBS’s lead newscasts were far and away the most out of control Tuesday night and Wednesday morning in siding with the illegal immigrant mobs in Los Angeles and attacking President Trump for a simple desire to restore law and order, their compatriots at ABC and NBC had plenty of their own hot takes. ABC ludicrously declared the “protesters” have been “self-policing, keeping others…

The latest L.A. riots came after ICE began enforcing immigration law and rounding up illegals in downtown Los Angeles, and the New York Times is desperately trying to downplay the radical and violent nature of the so-called protests by calling them “largely peaceful” (i.e., somewhat violent, as a trove of photos from Los Angeles prove).  

This week marks the 40^th anniversary of Philadelphia confronting the radical black group MOVE in an incendiary assault that killed 11 people, including five children, and destroyed a residential block. PBS News Weekend on Saturday marked the anniversary with a dose of radical chic, omitting unflattering details about the bizarre urban enclave MOVE.
