Donald Trump

At long last, a legacy network newscast mentioned the post-2016 intelligence assessment on Russian election interference that is the subject of the explosive declassified document publication by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. Unfortunately, the mention was not in reference to these revelations, but in continued service of the now amply debunked Russian Collusion Hoax.

President Trump's temporary takeover of law enforcement in DC caused an outburst of media protest, that somehow crime was at a "historic low" -- if you use bogus numbers. Plus to celebrate the 20th anniversary of NewsBusters, we remember some of the most outrageous examples of network nonsense with Geoffrey Dickens.

MSNBC’s freakout over the Trump Administration’s plans for the Smithsonian Institute continued on Wednesday’s All In as Professor Eddie Glaude Jr. asserted that the nation is in the midst of a “Second Lost Cause” movement that seeks to justify “the reassertion of white supremacy.”

Morning Joe says that with his moves to bolster crime-fighting in DC with federal agents, a skillful President Trump has set a "trap" for Democrats. Oppose Trump's moves at their peril. Joe Scarborough says that Dems make a mistake by opposing Trump's moves by citing statistics purporting to show that crime is down in DC. He says the reality is that an overwhelming majority of DC residents,…

Former CNN host Jim Acosta hates conspiracy theories unless, of course, he happens to be the one peddling them. On his Tuesday Substack podcast, Acosta mused, without evidence, that the Trump Administration could send ICE to polling stations to intimidate Latinos into not voting.

In what is now a clear and unmistakable pattern, the legacy evening newscasts have suppressed any mention of the latest release of formerly classified documents related to the Russia Hoax by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. The latest release further exposes a media favorite.

Politico senior editor Michael Schaffer suggests something is wrong with Democrat D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser for not acting more confrontational. You can get a hint of that attitude from the title of his Wednesday article, "Donald Trump Took Over DC’s Police. Why Is the City’s Mayor So Zen?"

“Politics is downstream from culture”, we were often told by the late, great Andrew Breitbart. And I often wonder what he’d think about the legacy media as they cover President Donald Trump’s efforts to leave his own mark on that equation. If NBC’s coverage about this year’s Kennedy Center Honors is any indication, then Trump may have succeeded.

On CNN This Morning, CNN contributor Lulu Garcia-Navarro, criticizing President Trump's move to reinforce Washington, DC police with federal agents, says the real way to combat crime is with "better social media policies and better money for schools."

New York Times chief White House correspondent Peter Baker joined Wednesday’s Chris Jansing Reports and unleashed, even by MSNBC’s standards, one of the most ridiculous reductio ad Putinum claims ever uttered on the network as he claimed the Russian dictator would “feel very comfortable” in Donald Trump’s America.

Last night’s edition of CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip, more colloquially known as the “Thunderdome”, opened with a segment on the federalization of Washington D.C.’s Metro Police Department- which is clearly the media’s Current Thing (at least until the Smithsonian cycle kicks off in earnest). A liberal media darling tried to flex his talking points outside of the usual amen corner…

On Tuesday, the Trump Administration launched a review of select Smithsonian museums to “ensure alignment with the President’s directive to celebrate American exceptionalism, remove divisive or partisan narratives, and restore confidence in our shared cultural institutions.” The eponymous host of CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360 was not happy about the move and claimed the move was insulting…

When President Trump called a press conference on August 11 to discuss how he would use emergency powers to federalize the D.C. police and deploy the National Guard, the knee-jerk anti-Trump media launched into January 6 talk.

After a couple of news cycles, it is clear that the legacy media’s Current Thing to be outraged over is the federalization of Washington D.C.’s Metro Police Department. In support of this narrative, they insist on omitting the fact that those crime data are very likely to be cooked.
