No Respect: CNN’s Brown Berates GOP’s Burchett Over DOGE

Expanding to two hours after the departure of carnival barker Jim Acosta and before being joined next month by Wolf Blitzer to co-host The Situation Room, CNN’s Pamela Brown has kept up the usual partisan chicanery and Tuesday was no exception with a lengthy, 11-minutes-plus battle with Congressman Tim Burchett (R-TN) that mostly consisted of Brown defending government workers and…

Whoopi Demands to Know When Was She Consulted on SpaceX-NASA Contracts

There was a potent and toxic combination of righteous indignation and ignorance oozing from ABC News moderator Whoopi Goldberg, during Tuesday’s edition of The View. In addition to blaming the crash of a Delta Airlines flight on the runway of an airport in Toronto, Canada on Elon Musk, she demanded to know: when did she give permission to NASA to sign contracts with Musk’s SpaceX?

'PUBLIC' Broadcasting Watch: Wow, PBS Really HATES Elon Musk and DOGE

Four weeks into the second term of President Trump, it's painfully clear that the "Public Broadcasting Service" loathes Trump and his "government efficiency" czar, billionaire Elon Musk. They don't say the reason out loud, but Musk has made clear he thinks "public" broadcasting should be defunded. He's Public Broadcasting Enemy #1.

STUDY: Mapping Alex Soros’s Growing Dominance in Washington

Finding links to the Soros family in the Joe Biden White House should come as no surprise. In addition to George’s decades-long meddling in our politics, he spent tens of millions backing Biden and other Democrats in 2020, and Alex got in on the action too, throwing $700,000 at the would-be worst president of the 21st century.

PBS: Trump's ‘Gulf of America’ Ban Attacks Freedom of 'Nonpartisan' AP

PBS’s regular Monday political conclave with Cook Political Report’s Amy Walter and NPR White House reporter Tamara Keith ran hotter than usual, with concerns about President Trump’s purported assault on the First Amendment fanning the fear flames, leading the panel to make ridiculous defenses of the non-partisan (!) Associated Press.

Fraud by Any Other Name at the EPA

The credit card statement contained an unfamiliar charge. I called the fraud department which canceled the payment and immediately sent me a new card. If only the federal government responded with similar alacrity. Instead, the reaction from the exposure and rooting out of fraud – mostly from Democrats – has been shouting profanities and demonstrating outside federal government buildings. Some…

Oliver: Musk Is 'One Of The Worst White Guys' Ever From South Africa

HBO’s John Oliver kicked off the 2025 season of Last Week Tonight on Sunday by recapping the first four weeks of Donald Trump’s return to the White House that included a bit on Elon Musk and DOGE. Oliver would label Musk as “one of the worst white guys South Africa has ever produced” while ignoring questions about whether South Africa really needs or deserves aid. On Monday, Oliver…

NBC’s Kelly O’Donnell Buries the Lede While Politicizing FAA Firings

The ongoing effort to smear the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and its related federal job cuts has officially pivoted to the ridiculous.

NewsBusters Podcast: CBS Makes It Springtime for Censors in Germany

It was a deeply weird Sunday at CBS. Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan argued that free speech led to the Holocaust, as if the Nazis allowed free speech. Then 60 Minutes promoted German prosecutors fining and jailing people for "hate speech" on social media. CBS likes a little "German order" on the internet. Jorge Bonilla joins the show to ponder the CBS mysteries.
