Donald Trump

The most Biden-sycophantic network newscast was unable to help itself on the day of the election of the first American pope. During a roundup of presidential reactions to Pope Leo XIV, correspondent Rachel Scott went to a tired but true hook: “Joe Biden, devout Catholic.”

After Cardinal Robert Prevost became the first American ever to be elected Pope on Tuesday and took the name Leo XIV, MSNBC’s Katy Tur picked and chose what aspects of his beliefs to amplify and which ones to downplay or ignore. Naturally, for MSNBC, she highlighted his “rebuking” of conservatives and Republicans, but not of liberals and Democrats.

Morning Joe devoted a segment on Thursday to supporting taxpayer funding of PBS, with a series of softball questions for PBS CEO Paula Kerger.

Is every day Watergate Day in the anti-Trump media? At a London event, Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg said "every day is a kind of Watergate at this point," implying Trump was a crook like Richard Nixon. Brian Stelter celebrated this "Truth Tellers" summit of liberals congratulating themselves for valiantly fighting against the Trump menace.

The latest episode of CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip, also known as the Thunderdome, proves the old maxim that sometimes the best way to make a conservative argument is to just let liberals talk. This is especially true in the case of the recent ban on transgender individuals in the military.

Tuesday saw the second-ever installment of MSNBC’s The Weeknight, featuring Alicia Menendez, former Kamala Harris spokeswoman Symone Sanders-Townsend, and former RNC chairman and current liberal talking points repeater Michael Steele. The trio of Joy Reid replacements did their best to continue her legacy by wondering if President Trump decided to defund PBS because he thinks Elmo is…

CNN’s Brian Stelter led his “Reliable Sources” newsletter on Wednesday with the event he’s attending for "Truth Tellers." Stelter suggested journalists have to be "at war" with Trump, they can't be "pacifists" or they lose. He noted Jeffrey Goldberg said "every day is kind of Watergate at this point," underlining they always want to drive Trump out of power.

The irony was impossible to miss on Tuesday’s edition of CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, as MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow joined the eponymous host to declare on one hand that the worst predictions about President Donald Trump have come true, but also that he and Republicans seek to get rid of elections.

The legacy media appear to be stuck in this doom loop where they deliberately omit covering certain stories after embarrassing themselves fawning over the latest immigration poster boy du jour whether it’s “Maryland Dad” or pro-Hamas Columbia activist Mohsen Mahdawi. The latest omission proves all the more embarrassing for the legacies.

President Donald Trump has fought plenty of political heavyweights, but now he’s up against a foe far tougher than Hillary Clinton or Kamala Harris: Big Bird. The president is ordering federal agencies and the taxpayer-funded Corporation for Public Broadcasting to stop supporting National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service. His May 1 executive order is titled “Ending Taxpayer…

Both PBS and National Public Radio are cadging for change, even before President Trump’s executive order cutting taxpayer funds to PBS and NPR through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. But NPR has gone out a bit further on the ledge since then, their tone becoming increasingly aggressive, even apocalyptic, as demonstrated by three recent donation banners that have flown on NPR’s…

MSNBC’s Ali Velshi gave an ode to public broadcasting on his Sunday show, where he tried to claim that the existence of public media is correlated with democratic health. In order to make such a claim, Velshi had to ignore one major detail from the study he cited.

As the Trump administration moves to enforce immigration law, HBO’s John Oliver is not happy. On Sunday’s Last Week Tonight, Oliver claimed that the moves are “always cruel” and declared that Border Czar Tom Homan “can truly rot in hell” for his efforts. Meanwhile, on Monday, Oliver joined NBC’s Seth Meyers on Late Night to claim it is “morally terrible” for people to attempt…

With the Second Trump Administration in full swing, dissent appears to make a comeback. Whistleblowing is once again back in fashion and whistleblowers are sainted public servants again, as opposed to pariahs during the Biden years. This much is clear from watching legal correspondent Laura Jarrett’s interview with former DHS Chief of Staff Miles Taylor, of “Anonymous” fame.
