If Trump’s second term was a movie, the network news anchors would title it Trump Tariff Meltdown. In all the tariff turbulence, the networks have obsessed over economics with a very negative tone, even on the typically soft-news morning shows. Good news on inflation and employment is buried in the "meltdown" hype. 

It seems impossible for former New York Times columnist Paul Krugman to stay out of the limelight and make himself look even more ridiculous.

CNN’s supposed extremism expert Donie O’Sullivan — whom one could think of as Irish Brian Stelter (and with hair) to get a sense of their worldview — joined Friday’s CNN News Central to preview his latest report for Sunday’s The Whole Story about political extremism and falsely claimed “the issue very much so is on the right” but no “equivalent on the left.”

CNN’s Anderson Cooper hosted a town hall with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders on Wednesday, and, even by CNN’s standards, it was quite the softball session. Not only did both men take advantage of fact-checker Daniel Dale apparently having better things to do with his time by accusing President Trump of “whitewashing American history,” but Cooper even invited the president of American University’s…

NewsBusters has repeatedly noted that Dale appears on air at CNN overwhelmingly to "correct" Trump. Fox News media reporter Joseph Wulfsohn exposed that pattern again: in the first 80 days of Trump's second term, Dale made at least 23 on-air fact-checks of Trump, but only two for Biden during the same period in 2021.

In a Friday filing with Florida’s 14^th Judicial Circuit in Bay County, Navy veteran Zachary Young filed a defamation suit against the Associated Press for making similar claims against him which led to CNN being found liable for malicious defamation.

On Friday's episode of CNN This Morning, host Audie Cornish surprisingly praises Marco Rubio's take on revoking student visas as "common sense." But Cornish once again assembles an unbalanced panel, bereft of any Trump-supporting Republican.

Comedy Central’s The Daily Show held a satirical debate on its Friday show between host Desi Lydic and pretend White House correspondent Troy Iwata. While Lydic took the position that President Trump’s recent executive order on showerhead pressure was dumb and a waste of time, Iwata took the position that it was a welcome distraction from all the “bigger, real things.” Ultimately, the…

Axios.com co-founders Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen appeared on the podcast “Honestly with Bari Weiss.” They both blamed the press for being too quick to fold under Biden White House pressure...but VandeHei still wanted to claim there are only a few "bad apples" that ruin it for everybody. 

An inflation report coming in lower than expected with a core inflation number under 3 for the first time since the pandemic would have drawn elated A-block coverage across the “legacy” evening news. But a similar report at the outset of Trump II? Not so much.

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is on an epic run: making people soil themselves at national parks, getting people eaten by bears, and even ruining spring itself. Now, according to CBS News, DOGE will also make you catch Ebola.
