Jon Stewart’s Chickens Coming Home to Roost

Jon Stewart doesn’t know which way is up these days. The far-left host is shocked, shocked by his own party's speech suppression. The former Daily Show host once soaked up media praise for his progressive spin on the news.

ABC Fawned Over Holocaust-Denying Dictator: How Often Do You Cry?

ABC last week struggled to respond to Whoopi Goldberg’s shocking comments that the Holocaust wasn’t about race. But this is the same network that once fawned over the Holocaust-denying former leader of Iran. Fifteen years ago this week, then-Good Morning America host Diane Sawyer gushed over Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as a “sentimental,” “sympathetic” man who cries a lot since he’s so caring…

NBC News Head: We’re ‘Nonpartisan,’ His Employees Didn’t Get the Memo

NBC News President Noah Oppenheim, on January 19, spat out the laughable line that his news network is “ferociously defending the idea that it’s possible to....be objective and nonpartisan.” Well his employees didn’t get the memo.

Nets Unfazed By Biden PROMISE to Abandon Americans (AGAIN) in Ukraine

In an apparent attempt to not repeat the bad optics and moral travesty of failing to get Americans out of Afghanistan by an arbitrary/self-imposed deadline, President Biden has decided to simply not try to get Americans out of Ukraine at all if Russia invades.
