Column: Lara Trump's Fox News Show Upsets the Liberal Scolds

One Brian Stelter wannabe had a fit over Fox News hiring Lara Trump for a Saturday night show. They're illegitimate, and indefensible. But what about MSNBC granting shows to Biden-Harris press secretaries when Biden was president? Crickets.

'Lost Our Empathy Gene': MSNBC’s Contempt for the American People

MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle has been continuing her play-by-play daily attacks on the new Trump administration, but as usual she seems to be focusing heavily on her disdain for the (in her view) stupid, selfish, and heartless ordinary Americans who voted in the current administration.

PBS Pushes ACLU Lawsuit to Spread ‘Gender-Affirming Care' for Kids

The filing of a lawsuit by the litigious, now wholly left-wing ACLU isn’t exactly a stop-the-presses moment, but Tuesday night’s edition of the PBS News Hour treated it as such. Co-host Amna Nawaz set up the show’s most liberal correspondent, Laura Barron-Lopez, in support of the same “gender-affirming care” misnomer PBS has used in its previous excessive coverage of so-called…
