Jake Tapper Lets Rosie Say Trump's a Fascist Criminal About to Expire
CNN host Jake Tapper took a loud stand that he wouldn’t allow any 2020 election deniers on his programs. But apparently, 2024 election deniers are totally cool.

MS NOW: Reflecting Pool Arrests Are 'Criminalization of Ordinary Life'
The left’s response to President Trump has involved tearing up anything even remotely connected to him.

Capehart Does 180 On Platner After Scandals Become Electoral Liability
MS NOW host Jonathan Capehart joined PBS News Hour on Friday to recap the week’s news, which naturally highlighted Graham Platner’s decision to exit the Maine Senate race after being accused of rape amid a long list of other scandals.

Oh No! NPR Upset at Trump's NEA Funding Patriotic, Pro-Reagan Material
