PROPAGANDA: CBS News Told Only Half the Story of US-Iran Hostilities

In a grotesque close to Sunday’s CBS Weekend News, anchor Jericka Duncan delivered a summary of the history between the United States and Iran that began in 1953 and ended in 1980. In essence, Duncan told half the story. Unfortunately, it was the mullahs’ half.

ABC News Rushes to Give Mahmoud Khalil His Prime-Time Tongue Bath

A federal judge ordered the release of Columbia student agitator and protest organizer Mahmoud Khalil from ICE detention. Naturally, it was a matter of time before the legacy media fell over themselves to score that exclusive interview. ABC News ended up scoring the interview, and it was as disgusting as you’d expect.

NewsBusters Podcast: American Media Soft On 'Death to America' Regime

Within minutes of American bombs dropping in Iran on Saturday night, the network “experts” were second-guessing everything, calling the moves “extremely risky.” President Trump was responsible for endangering both American troops and innocent Iranian civilians. Journalists always want to line up for diplomatic “solutions,” even if nothing gets solved.

ABC Sucks Up to Pro-Hamas Protester Mahmoud Khalil

Monday’s Good Morning America showed snippets of ABC News Live Prime anchor Linsey Davis’s interview with former Columbia student Mahmoud Khalil, who was recently released on bail from ICE detention. Despite Khalil’s ties to pro-Palestine and pro-Hamas protests, (and laws that contradict ABC’s statements) they still painted him as a father who was wrongfully arrested for…

On Monday, CBS Mornings Plus invited Colorado’s Democratic Congressman Jason Crow to push Congress to claw back their authority to authorize military strikes, but was this motivated by who the sitting President was?

On the Rails: ABC Has Jon Karl Babysit The View During Iran Discussion

After The View made embarrassing headlines last week with moderator Whoopi Goldberg and co-host Sunny Hostin suggesting that it was worse to be black in America than live in Iran, ABC News seemingly appointed chief Washington correspondent Jon Karl to be their babysitter during Monday’s discussion of the U.S.’s strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities. Karl kept the cast on the rails as…

CBS: DOGE Might Be Responsible for Dirty National Park Bathrooms!

On Monday, CBS Mornings Plus interviewed Emily Pennington, a writer, photographer, and advocate against President Trump’s recent cuts to the National Park Service (NPS), who lashed out at the Trump administration as "vindictive towards the national parks” and warned of the significant hit the parks would take in the coming month.

LOL: Frum Claims ‘Trump Always Chickens Out’ Just Before Iran Strike!

Talk about getting Jim Cramered. The Atlantic’s pompous loudmouth of a staff writer David Frum committed an unforced error by publicly showcasing how he literally knows nothing about the Trump Doctrine on military strategy or foreign policy.

Negative Nellies: CBS Downplays U.S. Strikes, Touts Dems, Iran Thugs

Monday’s CBS Mornings played the proverbial role of the skunk at the garden party by scoffing at Saturday night’s U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, cheering “several countries across the Middle East” siding with Iran and blaming the U.S. for Iranian strikes this past weekend in Israel.

New CNN Voice, Ex-Biden Aide: 'Can't Deny' Professionalism Of Iran Hit

On CNN This Morning, former Biden/Kamala aide Sabrina Singh, now a CNN commentator, said of the strikes on Iran: "I mean, you cannot deny the professionalism of our military when it came to this operation." Looks like CNN has adopted  "can't deny" as a catchphrase to cover those unfortunate situations where—much as commentators would like to diminish the accomplishments of the Trump…
