Brooks Describes ICE in Minneapolis As Almost An 'Armed Occupation'

On Friday’s installment of PBS News Hour, New York Times columnist David Brooks proved once again why PBS needs to find an actual conservative for their weekly news recap segment. While doing that rhetorical trick where someone calls for the lowering of tensions in Minneapolis while simultaneously hurling inflammatory accusations at ICE and the Trump administration, Brooks…

NY Times Huffs: Machado's Schmoozing with Trump 'Annoys Norwegians'

Friday's front page of The New York Times carried this headline: "Nobel Peace Laureate's Wooing of Trump Annoys Norwegians." Which means it also annoys the Trump-hating Times.

Daniel Dale Should Try Fact-Checking His Own Network — For Once!

Hey Daniel Dale! Riddle us this: How in the world do you expect anybody to take you seriously as a fact-checker against President Trump’s supposed “falsehoods” when your own network commits the same offenses?

PBS Jokes About Putting Kimmel's Profanity-Laced Slogan On a Tote Bag

Over the past year and a half, public broadcasting and the late night comedy shows have formed an alliance. Some comedians hold fundraisers or advocate for public media on their shows. Public media then in turn hosts the comedians on their own shows and honors them by giving them awards. The latest development in this exercise in mutual liberal back-patting came on Thursday as ABC’s Jimmy…

Sunny Hostin Claims Congressional Subpoena of Clintons Is ‘Illegal’

So far, in 2026, ABC’s Sunny Hostin has shown America why she was no longer a federal prosecutor: claiming everything she didn’t like was “illegal” despite proper procedure being followed. After repeatedly claiming the arrest of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro was “100 percent illegal” (despite the warrant), on Friday’s episode, she insisted that the bipartisan congressional subpoena of the…

Kimmel Can't Believe Trump Was Joking About Canceling Elections

The late night comedians love the idea that they can trigger President Trump into posting lengthy Truth Social posts about them. This is especially true of ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel, but on his Thursday show, Kimmel had a hard time wrapping his head around the idea that Trump may be trolling him and his fellow liberals when he recently mused about canceling elections.

The Goal Posts Keep Shifting

Renee Good should be alive. The activist, killed by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent, met her end in tragedy. What has happened since, predictably, saw people rush to their tribal corners. ICE “murdered” Good. Good was the villain. Your politics positioned your stance. What got left behind were the facts and a press corps that proved again it cannot be trusted.
