PBS Lies About George H.W. Bush's 1992 Supermarket Scanner Encounter

On Monday’s PBS News Hour, co-anchor Geoff Bennett used a discussion of President Trump’s upcoming State of the Union address to dredge up a hoary piece of liberal media mythology that helped doom the re-election chances of Republican President George H.W. Bush in 1992. It originated with liberal hack Andrew Rosenthal of the New York Times, who got an entire front-page story…

ABC, NBC Try to Trap Hughes Family Over Trump Inviting Team to SOTU

Early Tuesday, America’s new leading family — as in the Hughes klan, including USA Hockey star and gold-medal-winning goal scorer Jack Hughes  — wadded into network morning newscasts and were sadly met on ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Today with attempts to sully their reputations and maim both their character and the entire men’s team for taking a phone call Sunday…

Whoopi Refuses to Watch SOTU, 'I Don't Want to Just Take it Anymore'

Maybe ABC News should consider finding someone to replace moderator Whoopi Goldberg on The View. We know they won’t get rid of her the unhinged nonsense she spews, but maybe they’d act on her refusing to do the bare minimum required for the gig: keeping up-to-date on the current events they talk about. On Tuesday’s show, Goldberg announced that she wouldn’t be watching President Trump…

ABC Hurls Trump Hate Before SOTU, CBS Hits GOP But Goes Soft on Dems

On Tuesday, ABC’s Good Morning America (GMA) and CBS Mornings combined to offer widely negative rhetoric in previewing President Trump’s State of the Union, painting it as an almost hapless endeavor amid “his lowest numbers yet” to change the minds of voters poised to trigger a blue tsuanmi in November. Unsurprisingly, GMA was the most negative. In short,…

Oliver Mourns How Musk Has Made X 'Much Darker'

For some reason, HBO’s John Oliver decided that Elon Musk and his transformation of Twitter/X would make for golden comedic material for his main topic on Sunday’s Last Week Tonight. As Oliver tells it, the site has gotten “much darker” since Musk took over, but any reference to the prior problems or his native Britain’s creepy solutions was left unmentioned.

Broadcast Network Newscasts Skip Gavin Newsom's Racial Gaffe on SATs

On Sunday, California Governor Gavin Newsom took his book tour to Atlanta, and sat on stage in front of an overflow crowd at an auditorium, taking questions from the city's Mayor, Andre Dickens. At one point Newsom seemed to talk down to the Black mayor and to members of he crowd, assuring them, "I'm no better than you, and using his poor S.A.T. score to make his point, something that hasn't …

Cornish Admits Social Media Algorithm Bias — But Ignores Her Own

For the second straight day, CNN This Morning host Audie Cornish served up carefully curated anecdotal voices to suggest economic discontent under President Trump. On Monday, we caught Cornish spotlighting one Republican voter — out of tens of millions nationwide — to imply GOP unease over the economy. On Tuesday, she swapped that single poll respondent for a montage of social media…

Gutfeld Nukes ‘Shut-in’ Losers at HuffPost for Anti-Team USA Screed

Fox News Channel host Greg Gutfeld closed out the A-block of Monday’s The Five with a stemwinder lambasting the insufferable, anti-American left who’ve felt it pertinent to trash Team USA because certain athletes do not appear to share their toxic wokeism, spend their free time attacking President Trump, and base their happiness or misery based on the country’s political situation. …

PBS Promotes Jon Meacham: Trump Is Dangerous, Jesse Jackson Was 'Hope'

PBS’s Firing Line with Margaret Hoover hosted the elitist media’s favorite historian Jon Meacham, who predictably found parallels between President Donald Trump and House Rep. Joe McCarthy of so-called “Red Scare” infamy, while hailing the late Jesse Jackson. The slant started in host Margaret Hoover’s introduction, a clip montage featuring “triumphs” of democracy consisting of…

Kimmel Bashes Trump, Stewart Hails Canadian Socialism Post-Hockey Wins

Both ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel and Comedy Central’s The Daily Show returned on Monday after a week off to offer up some Olympic-sized hockey hot takes. Kimmel would try to turn the gold-medal-winning women’s team into a symbol of the anti-Trump resistance, while Daily Show host Jon Stewart and this week’s Tuesday-Thursday host Desi Lydic used the opportunity to explain why Canada,…

WH: ‘CNN a Total Disgrace’ for Ignoring Event Honoring Angel Families

CNN doesn’t care about the victims of illegal alien crimes or their families, White House Press Secretary Karoline said Monday, calling the leftist network “a total disgrace” for completely ignoring Monday’s event honoring and hosting “Angel Families.”

Nets Continue Freak Out Over Patel, OMIT White House ‘Angel Mom’ Event

The Elitist Media Evening News continued their long-running freakout over FBI Director Kash Patel’s gold medal detour while in Italy on official FBI business. The time devoted to this collective freakout and whining over alleged resources steered away from fighting crime gave the media cover to completely omit another event devoted to the victims of crimes committed by illegal aliens.
