Taxes

Despite tough questions from fill-in co-hosts Kelly O’Grady and Ed O’Keefe, Monday’s CBS Mornings Plus chose to dedicate the “By the Way” segment — a block meant to do a deeper dive on one of the major headlines but often becomes a free block for liberal narratives — to a supposedly viral guest column from a rural Virginia factory worker lamenting the rise in cost of living and the…

The Trump economy just keeps defying all the media crystal ball predictions of economic catastrophe, but the evening networks revealed an impulse to ignore good news that benefits the president.

MSNBC’s James Woods-dubbed “media gnat” Ali Velshi continues to illustrate why socialist media talking heads know as much about sound economics as flat-earthers know about astrophysics.

Lame duck comedian Stephen Colbert went on a tirade against President Donald Trump’s tariffs and heralded the supposedly impending doom of skyrocketing prices, and ended up beclowning himself in the process.

CBS’s Stephen Colbert kicked off his week of Democratic guests on Monday by welcoming Clinton-era Labor Secretary Robert Reich to The Late Show to promote his new memoir. During their conversation, neither man displayed an understanding of the proper definition of a tax cut, while Reich smeared former President Ronald Reagan for allegedly making the country less inclusive for women…

No matter what happens in President Donald Trump’s economy, you can bet your bottom dollar that The New York Times hacks will find some way to splatter it with bad news, even faced with the prospect of looking like complete imbeciles doing so. Chief economics correspondent Ben Casselman found "anemic, though positive" economic growth. Back in 2023, he was exuberant over 1.1 percent…

Talk about being the butt of the joke. HBO comedian Bill Maher actually conceded that his typical smart aleck prediction that President Donald Trump's tariffs would wreck the economy by this point was way off the mark. 

Why pay higher prices in a more competitive housing market when you can just keep paying compulsory taxes on your capital gains? That’s effectively the head-scratching argument CNN tried to make to ding President Trump’s tax-cutting agenda.

Former President Barack Obama’s National Economic Council director has slipped from being the voice of reason on inflation to going full Cocaine Bear by screeching that President Trump was killing people with his economic agenda.

ABC was surprisingly the only major broadcast network to break in Thursday afternoon for a special report on the House passage of President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill, which he’s slated to sign into law Friday. What was unsurprising, however, was the ABC presented a wholly negative perspective declaring the bill was to “mostly” benefit “the wealthiest Americans” while stating as though it’s a…

Ahead of its final passage in the House, the big three broadcast networks all gave blatantly biased reports Thursday on their flagship morning shows about President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill. ABC’s Good Morning America, CBS Mornings, and NBC's Today all told the same story, one that devoted noticeably more attention to Democrats as they stalled on the House…

Congresswoman Jen Kiggans (R-VA) — who represents a swing district encompassing Virginia’s Eastern Shore and much of the Hampton Roads region — took to Thursday’s CBS Mornings Plus and calmly explained the facts behind the Big, Beautiful Bill, specifically changes to Medicaid and its unsustainable path without reform.

The Washington Post once again proved why its journalists know as much about good economics as they do about “austere religious scholar(s)” by arguing President Donald Trump’s illegal immigration crackdown would somehow cause inflation to skyrocket. Just try unraveling that oxymoron.

With the tax and spending bill known as the “One Big, Beautiful Bill” passing the Senate, it appears that the legacy media’s evening newscasts mostly chose to offer up a rehash of their coverage ahead of the Senate vote. Critical in spots and argumentative in others, and in stark contrast with coverage garnered by big legislation secured for the Biden administration.
