Not Like Last Year: Sedate Networks Scoff at Trump’s ‘Campaign Rally’

Needless to say, ABC, CBS, and NBC offered far different reactions Tuesday night to President Trump’s address to Congress (think State of the Union, but not granted that title in a president’s first year) than they did in immediately celebrating last year’s partisan State of the Union from Joe Biden. For 2025, they were more lackadaisical in their disdain for Trump’s “intensely partisan” “…

Column: Networks Hound Trump With Loaded Poll Questions

The national media pay for national polls to measure public opinion. But often, they aren’t just measuring public opinion. Their selection of polling questions carries an agenda, and tests how the liberal media arguments are faring in all 50 states. Their questions change depending on which party’s president is in the White House.

MSNBC: Pity the Poor, DOGE-Displaced Federal Employee

MSNBC wound down its A-team portion of their coverage of President Trump’s address before a joint session of Congress with a bemoaning of displaced federal workers. This display was unlike any other, and revealed quite a bit about MSNBC and our progressive commentariat.

Raging MSNBC Karens CRASH OUT Over Love for D.J. at Joint Address

The initial reaction to President Donald Trump’s Joint Address to Congress at MSNBC centered around outrage at the fact that Trump would dare to honor D.J. Daniel, the 13-year-old pediatric cancer patient who was deputized as a honorary Secret Service agent. Their bilious reaction to that heartwarming moment is the truest indicator of how the night really went for them.

You know Tuesday night’s address to the Joint Session of Congress was a good night for President Trump because the liberal media didn’t have much in terms of rage-fueled declarations against it.

ABC Concerned for Kids’ Future in ICE Raid Picked Up Sex Criminal Dad

In an Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) raid the liberal media managed to not leak out, ABC’s senior political correspondent Rachel Scott rode along overnight Monday into Tuesday with ICE and other federal law enforcement agencies on raids in Northern Virginia and, when it was all said and done, her biggest concern voiced on Good Morning America wasn’t that one illegal alien “…

PBS: Trump Rifling ‘Dictator’s Playbook’ Like Philippine Strongman

Monday’s PBS News Hour featured former CNN reporter Maria Ressa, who was awarded the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize for her “efforts to safeguard freedom of expression,” but her tough experiences as a journalist in the Philppines taught her the wrong lessons -- that freedom of speech on social media is responsible for the rise in authoritarianism around the world, using the left-wing excuse…
