War on Terrorism

Monday marked the 20th anniversary of the start of the war in Iraq, and it was entirely predictable that on MSNBC’s The ReidOut, the anti-American Joy Reid would find a way to compare then-President George W. Bush to a tyrannical dictator. Proving that Bush derangement syndrome was the original precursor to Trump derangement syndrome, Reid did exactly what many would have predicted.…

As the House voted to remove far-left Rep. Ilhan Omar from the House Foreign Affairs Committee, the bluest media (like 'Morning Joe') said they would stand proudly with Omar and against GOP "hypocrisy." Benjamin Weingarten wrote a book on Omar and explains the whole scene.

On CNN This Morning, co-host Don Lemon, discussing the New Year's Eve machete attack on three NYC police officers, seems more concerned about the suspect's condition. He asks the reporter: "Do we know anything about the suspect's condition? I mean, the officers' condition, I should say?"

Seven years ago, the national media made a spectacle of themselves for both the speed and stupidity with which they seized upon a horrible mass shooting in San Bernardino, California, racing to promote their anti-gun agenda, bashing conservatives and prayer in the process.

Last week, journalists and media personalities rightfully cheered the news that brutal terrorist Ayman al-Zawahiri had been killed in a CIA drone strike. The networks used patriotic language and praised the efficiently executed attack. View co-host Joy Behar even compared Joe Biden to action hero Liam Neeson in Taken. 

Amid the welcome news that a recent U.S. drone strike had eliminated al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri, ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Today provided welcome pushback Tuesday to the Biden administration’s attempted victory lap by pressing National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan on the fact that last August’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan allowed Zawahiri to…

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough sees, in the killing of Zawahiri, a silver lining to Pres. Biden's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. "it was the United States leaving Afghanistan that had the head of al Qaeda comfortable sitting in an apartment in Afghanistan where we could find him and take him out."

The day after news broke that Al Qaeda leader and 9/11 plotter Ayman al-Zawahiri was killed in a CIA drone strike approved by President Biden, the cackling coven of ABC’s The View danced around their caldron and suggested, without evidence, that Republicans are unwilling to kill terrorist leaders and only Democratic presidents are. They also threw a potent double standard into their…

In the immediate aftermath of the Biden administration’s announcement that the CIA had killed Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri, ABC’s Cecilia Vega leaped into action to note how President Biden was right that the United States could still fight terrorism in Afghanistan without having a presence on the ground there. 

On Thursday night's episode of MSNBC's All In, host Chris Hayes spent the opening segment of his show trying to downplay the threat Al-Qaeda posed to the United States and the world in an attempt to make the case that the threat to the global order is made by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Hayes also suggested that former President Donald Trump is a threat to democracy just like…

On Sunday’s episode of CNN’s State of the Union, anchor Jake Tapper ripped into President Joe Biden for refusing to accept responsibility for the disastrous troop withdrawal in Afghanistan which killed thirteen American soldiers, including Ryan Knauss. 

When President Donald Trump, in October 2019, ordered a successful takedown of top Islamic State group leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Democrats and even the anti-Trump media celebrated the death of the terror leader. But top leaders of the Democratic party still chastised Trump for failing to notify top congressional Democrats of the impending strike.

Continuing Thursday’s theme of news organizations allowing all nutty comparisons to fly on the anniversary of the January 6 riot, ABC News presidential historian Mark Updegrove proclaimed after President Biden’s “powerful” speech that it belonged alongside those from “FDR after Pearl Harbor,” “Lyndon Johnson after Selma,” “George W. Bush after 9/11,” and, most egregiously, Abraham Lincoln’s…

On Tuesday's The 11th Hour show, MSNBC Brian Williams began his last few weeks hosting the show by spreading more misinformation as he accused Republicans of running a "disgusting smear campaign" against veteran and then-Democratic Senator Max Cleland when he ran for reelection in 2002.
