The 'Fact Checkers' Let Barack Obama Smear the GOP As Much As He Wants

Quiz: How many times has Barack Obama been "fact checked" by PolitiFact since he left office in 2017? Seven. Trump has 11 so far in 2026. So you can guess they won't be "fact checking" his latest interview, where he smears the Republicans as uncaring about the rule or law, or democracy, or the truth.

CBS's O'Donnell Lets Gov. Wes Moore Avoid Answering Resume Questions

Last Sunday CBS's Things That Matter welcomed Maryland Governor and possible Presidential candidate, Democrat Wes Moore to their Town Hall.

Vanity Fair: 'Epstein's Ghost' Is 'Calling All the Shots' for Trump

Former ABC reporter Tara Palmeri's Halloween-in-February hot take in Vanity Fair, "Epstein’s Ghost Is Calling All the Shots in Trump’s White House," certainly falls within the realm of fantasy. "Epstein has effectively risen from the dead to dominate Trump’s presidency and threaten his legacy."

OMISSION: Sunday Shows Aren’t Talking About D.C. Poop Spill

As you may know by now, there is an ongoing environmental disaster that threatens to, well, soil our nation’s 250th birthday celebration in the Washington, D.C. metro area and beyond. A burst pipe has dumped millions of gallons of raw sewage into the Potomac River, which poses a major problem once springtime comes to the nation’s Capital.

After Melting Down over Vance, Sunday Shows OMIT Rubio's Munich Speech

Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered an address before the Munich Security Conference that was warmly received and met with rapturous applause. And if you were waiting for the Elitist Media’s Sunday shows’ analyses, you might think the speech never happened at all.

CBS Weirdly Injects Climate Propaganda into the Nation’s Founding

The Media Hall Monitors repeatedly tell us that CBS’s New editorial direction is Trump-adjacent and “MAGA-friendly.” This is, of course, a shameless exaggeration most recently belied by a weird Sunday Morning report that injected climate change into the 250th anniversary of the nation’s founding.

Al Sharpton Gives Free Rein To Swalwell On 'Bodies Piling Up' by ICE

Tune into the left wing media on almost any given day and chances are that you'll get to see the bashing of ICE and their agents, whether from the mouth of the show's Host themselves, or from guests, who are often encouraged by the Host to go full steam ahead, usually by failing to challenge any accusation made vs ICE. That was the case on Saturday's edition of Politics Nation on MS…

MS NOW Lets Pelosi Rant About Canceled Elections, ICE 'Assassinations'

Saturday’s The Weekend on MS NOW offered Nancy Pelosi a predictably puffy platform, with little or no challenge from the hosts, to promote sweeping claims about U.S. politics — including the specter of 2026 elections failing to happen, inflammatory allegations about federal enforcement actions in Minnesota, an unsparing juxtaposition of two Republican figures, and the suggestion that…

Rand Paul Talks Sense To Katie Couric on Deporting Violent Criminals

Rand Paul – on her YouTube show, and the senator tried to take a moderate tone in contrast to Couric’s extremist DNC talking points.

Atlantic Magazine Shatters Liberal Myth that Trump is Putin's Puppet

A recent Atlantic article by Thomas Graham and Alan Cullison debunks the claim that Trump is controlled by Putin. Instead, Trump’s actions, such as sanctions on Russian oil and arms agreements, have weakened Russia’s global position, challenging the liberal belief that Putin pulls Trump’s strings. Face the facts, not partisan myths.

CNN's Collins Allows Mayor Frey To Call ICE 'Roving Gangs' Using Race

You may remember that one day prior to the shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis, the city's Mayor Jacob Frey  was on CNN's OutFront with Erin Burnett accusing ICE of being racist and "sowing chaos" on the streets of his city, with no push-back. On Thursday night, CNN hosted Frey on The Source with Kaitlan Collins, and he was allowed to go off unchecked once again.…
