THUNDERDOME: Abby Phillip Performs Post-Munich Cleanup for AOC
On CNN’s “Abby Phillip Gaslighting and Interruption Power Hour”, more commonly known as NewsNight, there was serious firefighting and journalisming underway.

PBS Skips Rubio's Munich Triumph to Bash 'Trump, Demolition Man'
Monday’s PBS News Hour virtually skipped over Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s performance at the annual Munich Security Conference to wail over his subsequent trip to endorse “far right prime minister” Viktor Orban of Hungary.

O'Donnell Cites Pulled Colbert Interview As Impeachment Evidence

Column: No Space for Homan on Locating Missing Immigrant Children
When border czar Tom Homan held a press conference to announce a drawdown of forces in Minnesota, he reported that during their surge, ICE agents “located 3,364 missing unaccompanied alien children, children that the last administration lost."

Hysteria, Not History: CBS Giddy Over Historian Meacham Trashing Trump
In CBS Mornings’s latest example of officially partnering with a liberal partisan to sell books, Tuesday’s show embarrassingly fangirled over liberal historian Jon Meacham’s latest tome and voicing agreement to claim America is facing a “moral crisis” requiring the greatest level of citizenship since the 1850s because there is an “authoritarian” in Donald Trump “galloping at the…
Scarborough Urges Minnesota to Charge ICE Agents

Phillip Asks a Few Tough Questions To Democrat Rep On Shutdown & ICE
Tune in to the liberal shows on any given day, and you are almost sure to bear witness to what passes for today's 'journalism'.

CNN Obsessed With Eking Out A Win on Dumb Trump Economy Scare Porn
CNN Business’s so-called “senior writer” Alicia (not Nicolle) Wallace can’t seem to get the hint that her ongoing narrative war against the Trump economy is flopping harder than Joe Biden’s mental acuity.
NY Times Front Page Condemns Trump’s ‘Cult of Personality': Obama Who?
A 3,000-word “news analysis” by New York Times chief White House correspondent Peter Baker on Trump’s supposed cult of personality was headlined cheekily: “A Superman, Jedi and Pope -- Trump’s Relentless Bid to Mythologize Himself.” The online version was more insulting: “Trump’s Relentless Self-Promotion Fosters an American Cult of Personality-- President Trump has engaged in a spree…
CNN Frets Fetterman ‘Off Message’ for Rejecting Schumer’s Jim Crow 2.0

Oliver Darcy’s Website Goes Full Regina George on NewsNation, Pavlich
Writing Sunday night for Oliver Darcy’s website Status (which hurled a series of smears Friday at the Media Research Center and conservative media writ large), Natalie Korach shoveled a series of anonymous jabs and loaded declarations to assert NewsNation is MAGA TV simply to please Donald Trump and FCC Chairman Brendan Carr.
