The New York Times acted like getting former IRS commissioners to bellyache over President Donald Trump’s cuts to one of the most hated agencies in Washington was some kind of a flex.

On a recent CNN show, Michael Smerconish threatened to cut off guest James Fishback's mic during a heated exchange over federal spending. Smerconish labeled Fishback’s DOGE dividend plan a "ponzi" scheme; Fishback countered by criticizing CNN and federal spending practices like Ukraine War funding. Smerconish's defensiveness was highlighted by nervous laughter and threats, sparking online…

On the latest edition of NBC’s Meet the Depressed, Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin shut down host Kristen Welker’s pressure over the reduction of the federal workforce. Thus continues the media’s campaign to advocate for fired government workers in a way they’ve never done for any other workers.

The panel of MSNBC's The Weekend frets that classified information will be leaked as a result of federal employees responding to an email from the Trump administration requiring them to list five things they did in the last week.  The panelists apparently had not read the email in question which specifically instructs them, in bold letters, "Do Not Send any classified information."…

The President of the United States looked his chief budget cutter in the eye, saying, "You’re a victim of sabotage by the press. They’re trying to bring you down because of what you’ve helped us accomplish."

PolitiFact writers Maria Ramirez Uribe and Amy Sherman teamed up on Friday to give Elon Musk a “pants-on-fire” rating for his claim that former President Joe Biden’s immigration policy was “a giant voter importation scam.” To reach such a conclusion, the duo engaged in plenty of hyperliteralism and bad faith arguments.

Elon Musk wielded a chainsaw at CPAC, striking a pose next to Argentina’s president Javier Milei. The networks really hate Elon Musk for trying to reduce government in any way. "Public" broadcasters are incredibly anti-Musk, since they are dreading the DOGE wagon pulling up to PBS and NPR.

With the networks having already established over the last few weeks a totally-not-coordinated stream of sympathetic laid off federal workers to attack the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and President Trump, NBC’s Today added another wrinkle Friday by cheering liberal rabble rousers shouting at House Republicans during constituent townhalls.

PBS News Hour reporter William Brangham dumped a truckload of slime over space entrepreneur and Trump advisor Elon Musk’s head in a 10-minute news piece/hit piece that aired Thursday evening: "Musk changed the platform's policies on hate speech, and when analysts claimed that vitriol then flourished on the renamed X, advertisers balked and the company's value slid. In characteristic…

POLL: What was the worst media take of the week? (Vote below)

When is a story about farmers NOT about farmers? When the farmers are but a narrative device with which the media can stealthily advocate for a preferred policy in peril. In this case, farmers used as human shields so NBC can advocate for the Green New Deal (under its actual name, the Inflation Reduction Act).

On Tuesday night’s episode of MSNBC’s The 11th Hour, Stephanie Ruhle officiated over yet another session of commiseration about the actions of the new administration, with the usual heavy emphasis on Elon Musk and DOGE. Joining her was Reed Galen, author of The Home Front on Substack, who –without evidence – accused the administration and Musk, with media complicity, of leaning on…

MSNBC Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough was the latest in a list of dishonorable media figures to tie President Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s budget-cutting efforts to the idea of additional plane crashes. Unlike other analyses, Scarborough’s ramblings come from someone who likes to style himself as one of the few remaining principled conservatives.

In an lengthy interview with Elon Musk that aired Tuesday on the Fox News Channel with Sean Hannity (and taped late last week), President Trump unsurprisingly found time to lambaste the “bad,” “dangerous,” “horrible” liberal media as he and Musk have stood up the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to shrink and tame the leviathan that is the federal government.
