With the networks having already established over the last few weeks a totally-not-coordinated stream of sympathetic laid off federal workers to attack the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and President Trump, NBC’s Today added another wrinkle Friday by cheering liberal rabble rousers shouting at House Republicans during constituent townhalls.

The media are united in their purpose of trying to save government workers from the DOGE ax. Across the dial, each evening newscast devoted significant time to creating in their respective audiences an empathy for government bloat.

The Resistance Media continue to seethe over the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) march through the federal government, particularly through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). USAID coverage trod old and familiar tropes, seeking to elicit sympathy for the dying agency.

President Donald Trump stepped to the White House Briefing Room podium himself on Thursday morning to provide an update on, sound off on, and spar with reporters over Wednesday night’s horrifying crash over the Potomac River near Reagan National Airport between an American Airlines plane and an Army helicopter.

In the first the first White House press briefing of President Donald Trump’s second term, Press Secretary Karoline Levaitt made clear from the onset of the 46-minute-and-36-second briefing things would be different inside the Brady Briefing Room. Along with the opening and closing statements made famous by Kayleigh McEnany, Leavitt announced seats for new media and called on 21 different…

The returning Resistance Media have begun to report on the Trump Administration very much the same way they reported on the previous Trump Administration: with glaring omissions in service of a narrative. In this case, half-reporting on the initial executive orders signed by President Donald Trump.

On Thursday morning and after some cockamamie, tone-deaf reactions Wednesday night to President Biden’s farewell address, the major broadcast networks chose to double down with empty stenography for power with one network going to nonsensical links suggesting Biden could one day be compared to President George Washington, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Lyndon Johnson as one of the country’s…

Wednesday afternoon brought us the final Biden White House press briefing and, by her own count, the 306th featuring the ever-inept Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. It featured Jean-Pierre emotionally patting herself on the back, plenty of unanswered questions (mostly stemming from the monumental Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal), the final Jacqui Time, and even Jean-Pierre doing her own…

The anchors of NBC’s Today spun themselves dizzy on Saturday as they tried to give credence to two separate liberal talking points. First, Laura Jarrett memory-holed the COVID lockdowns as she proclaimed President Joe Biden to be the best jobs president “in history” while Peter Alexander tried to tie the current Los Angeles wildfires to climate change.

There’s no doubt at least some of you out there will miss the antics, hardballs, stumbles, and throwdowns that came to define Karine Jean-Pierre’s 2024 at the White House Briefing Room podium. With over 70 blogs from our press briefing tag to choose from and the topics ranging from the economy to foreign policy to Biden’s mental slippage, Jean-Pierre and the press corps made it difficult for…

Between Thursday night and Friday morning, ABC, CBS, and NBC used their flagship morning and evening newscasts to promote a disinformation campaign first launched by The Bulwark’s Sam Stein to use President-Elect Trump’s comments about grocery prices to argue he can’t and won’t improve the lives of struggling Americans.

On Friday, ABC, CBS, and NBC used their flagship morning news shows to pivot away from former Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) withdrawing from the nomination fight to lead President Trump’s Justice Department towards deriding the new pick Pam Bondi as merely a “Trump loyalist,” foreign lobbyist, and former Florida Attorney General whose “tenure [was] not without controversy.”

Much as we’re seeing today, in 2016 liberal reporters and commentators savaged Donald Trump’s first group of appointees as “radical” and “racist” “ignoramuses” who “disdain the missions of their assigned agencies.”

On Thursday, the “Big Three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC scrambled to use their morning news shows to try and contain the damage caused by President Biden’s Tuesday night comments referring to Trump supporters as garbage, insisting he only “appear[ed]” or “seemed to disparage” them with the “gaffe.” They also tried to make fetch happen by lamenting Trump’s team has “capitaliz[ed]” on this to…
