New Yorker Editor Freaks That Trump Will Turn America Into Russia

Jon Stewart and John Oliver’s claim that America has entered its “monarchy era” under President Donald Trump may not have been the craziest moment from Monday’s edition of The Daily Show on Comedy Central. Instead it might have been New Yorker editor David Remnick’s claim that the country is at risk of turning into Vladimir Putin’s Russia because of the relationship between…

PBS's DEI Deception Foiled: Did Network Try to Skirt Trump Exec Order?

The iconoclastic news site The Free Press had a Monday evening scoop, courtesy of an inside tipster, that taxpayer-funded news network PBS was trying to conceal its DEI program from President Trump’s executive order and Elon Musk’s cost-cutting Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE): "...we wrote to PBS asking them about a tip we received from a high-ranking executive at the…

HBO’s Last Week Tonight host John Oliver made a surprise return to Comedy Central and The Daily Show on Monday to play the role of a British irredentist who was welcoming the U.S. to its “monarchy era” after years of checks and balances have allegedly been thrown away by Republicans in the Trump era.

CNN's Sciutto Tees Up Palestinian To Accuse Trump Of Ethnic Cleansing

CNN's Jim Sciutto, sitting in for Kasie Hunt on CNN This Morning, teed up a Palestinian to repeatedly accuse Trump of "ethnic cleansing" in Gaza, and Israel of "genocide." Sciutto never raises October 7th, Hamas, or hostages.

CBS Evening News Slinks to Evidence-Free Fearmongering on DOGE

So desperate are the media to discredit the work of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), and by extension that of Elon Musk, that they are willing to resort to rank fear mongering. As Major Garrett’s report for the CBS Evening News proves, they also seem to believe that their viewers are morons.

NewsBusters Podcast: Don't Question Extremely Expensive Subscriptions!

The scandal that could be called "Subscription-gate" involves government agencies paying hundreds of thousands of dollars for a media service like "Politico Pro." But Politico claims they've never taken government funds, like it doesn't make "Politico Pro." Come on, bro.

CNN’s Dana Bash Accuses Elon Musk of Making Money ‘Breaking the Rules’

Considering they just spectacularly lost a major defamation suit, CNN has seemed remarkably unconcerned about throwing around wild accusations. On Monday’s episode of Inside Politics With Dana Bash, Bash seemingly suggested that billionaire Elon Musk had made his money through illegal means, though she never provided evidence. She also lashed out at President Trump’s voters, calling…

ABC, NBC Skip Record Trump Approval to Warn of ‘Constitution Crisis’

On Monday, ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Today saw no reason amid their latest hyperventilating about President Trump fulfilling a campaign promise of shrinking the size of government — and that doing so has triggered “a constitutional crisis” — to note a CBS poll showing his approval at a record 53 percent.

Elon Musk Should Take on Social Security

If I say that Elon Musk is the smartest, boldest, most creative entrepreneur in the world, I don’t think I will get pushback. President Donald Trump’s move to bring him to Washington and put him at the top of a new Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE, to do the seemingly impossible -- to streamline a vastly outsized government spending behemoth -- injects hope that yes, maybe there is…

PBS Weekend: Only Jim Crow Racists Are Against DEI?

PBS News Weekend guest host Ali Rogin promised that a Saturday evening segment would “explore the deep roots of DEI in this country as it comes under increasing attack,” and it certainly delivered a strong if false defense, comparing the “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” push to the fight against Jim Crow, with the host agreeing wholly with the segment’s sole guest, an activist…

ABC News Says Trump to Sign Order 'Banning Black People from Halftime’

Leave it to the Cackling Coven of ABC News’s The View to make the Super Bowl and the halftime show about President Trump and think they were witty about it. In their Monday reaction to the Philadelphia Eagles’ blowout win over Kansas City Chiefs, fake Republican Ana Navarro praised singer and songwriter Kendrick Lamar for his half halftime performance and claimed – without evidence –…

Chainsaw: Veterans Affairs Saws Off $178k in Politico Subscriptions

In another blow to the liberal media’s corrupt spigot of lucrative government subscriptions paid for with your tax dollars, President Trump’s Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) — led by newly confirmed Secretary Doug Collins — said Monday it cancelled $178,000 in Swampy subscriptions for Politico Pro that can now be used to help the VA fulfill its mission of caring for servicemen and women.…
