Donald Trump

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…

Discussing Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s claim that the SAVE Act is “Jim Crow 2.0,” CNN senior reporter Zach Wolf wasn’t troubled by the incendiary historical comparison. Instead, he fretted that Democratic Senator John Fetterman had gone “off message” by refusing to echo it.

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.

Quiz: How many times has Barack Obama been "fact checked" by PolitiFact since he left office in 2017? Seven. Trump has 11 so far in 2026. So you can guess they won't be "fact checking" his latest interview, where he smears the Republicans as uncaring about the rule or law, or democracy, or the truth.

Former ABC reporter Tara Palmeri's Halloween-in-February hot take in Vanity Fair, "Epstein’s Ghost Is Calling All the Shots in Trump’s White House," certainly falls within the realm of fantasy. "Epstein has effectively risen from the dead to dominate Trump’s presidency and threaten his legacy."

As you may know by now, there is an ongoing environmental disaster that threatens to, well, soil our nation’s 250th birthday celebration in the Washington, D.C. metro area and beyond. A burst pipe has dumped millions of gallons of raw sewage into the Potomac River, which poses a major problem once springtime comes to the nation’s Capital.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered an address before the Munich Security Conference that was warmly received and met with rapturous applause. And if you were waiting for the Elitist Media’s Sunday shows’ analyses, you might think the speech never happened at all. 

Saturday’s The Weekend on MS NOW offered Nancy Pelosi a predictably puffy platform, with little or no challenge from the hosts, to promote sweeping claims about U.S. politics — including the specter of 2026 elections failing to happen, inflammatory allegations about federal enforcement actions in Minnesota, an unsparing juxtaposition of two Republican figures, and the suggestion that…

A recent Atlantic article by Thomas Graham and Alan Cullison debunks the claim that Trump is controlled by Putin. Instead, Trump’s actions, such as sanctions on Russian oil and arms agreements, have weakened Russia’s global position, challenging the liberal belief that Putin pulls Trump’s strings. Face the facts, not partisan myths.

Before the Department of Homeland Security shutdown at midnight on Saturday as a result of Democrats demanding certain ICE reforms, ABC’s World News Tonight host David Muir and chief White House correspondent Mary Bruce declined to inform their viewers that ICE will be largely immune from the shutdown.

And….poof!!!! It’s as if it never happened. Here’s an ABC News headline from August 3, 2023. 

On Friday’s Morning Joe, the MS NOW panel delivered a remarkable formulation regarding President Trump and the Jeffrey Epstein matter: they repeatedly portrayed Trump as looking “guilty” — while conceding they do not know what, if anything, he actually did.

HBO’s Bill Maher mourned the demise of the EPA’s endangerment finding on Friday’s episode of Real Time, declaring himself to be “not surprised, I’m angry” at the move he ridiculously compared to banning the Navy from being able to use ships.

The Washington Post Editorial Board couldn’t have timed its faux-fussbudgeting over how the Trump tariffs were supposedly juicing Valentine’s Day inflation more perfectly (sarcasm). News was just released that inflation eased in January.
