In a rare second White House press briefing of the week, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt largely avoided the disingenuous nonsense the liberal media have spewed this week about the federal government shutdown and declarations that Republicans are to blame and falsely claiming Democrats support free health care for illegal immigrants. But towards the end of the briefing, she ran into such…

The fact-checking industry likes to view itself as the guardian of truth in an age of rampant misinformation, but what is one to do when they can’t all get on the same page? While PolitiFact, the Associated Press, and CNN’s Daniel Dale all rushed on Wednesday to call Republicans liars for saying Democrats want to give illegal immigrants access to federal benefits in exchange for ending the…

Early Wednesday evening on The Lead, CNN fact-checker and Canadian Daniel Dale teamed up with host Jake Tapper to engage in a sleight of hand to paint Republicans as liars in the government shutdown battle for arguing Democrats want to provide health care for illegal immigrants. In essence, Dale told viewers both here and later on AC360 that those receiving free care are aren…

On Wednesday, the late night comedians received their government shutdown-related marching orders. To listen to them is no different than any generic Democratic member of Congress who portrays the shutdown as a showdown between Democrats, who want people to have healthcare, and Republicans, who do not.

After a Friday World News Tonight report on the possibility of a government shutdown, ABC might need to rename its network DNC because throughout the segment, host David Muir and White House correspondent Rachel Scott combined to utter the phrase “Democrats say” three times while never once using the equivalent “Republicans say.”

The Young Turks co-host Ana Kasparian made a complete fool of herself when she let one of her anti-Israel brain drain episodes affect her so much she tried to convince the world America spends more on Israel than Social Security. 

Despite tough questions from fill-in co-hosts Kelly O’Grady and Ed O’Keefe, Monday’s CBS Mornings Plus chose to dedicate the “By the Way” segment — a block meant to do a deeper dive on one of the major headlines but often becomes a free block for liberal narratives — to a supposedly viral guest column from a rural Virginia factory worker lamenting the rise in cost of living and the…

As Senate Republicans hold its fate in their hands, PBS’s Amanpour and Company thought it was a good idea to welcome former Clinton Treasury Secretary and Obama economic advisor Lawrence Summers to double and triple down on his previous claim that Republicans’ Big Beautiful Bill will kill over 100,000 people.

Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart was confused on Monday’s The Daily Show why the GOP’s spending reforms in the Big Beautiful Bill would target the areas of the budget where the most money is spent. Together with economic commentator and author Kyla Scanlon, the duo would conclude that it is easier to cut from people than lobbyists.

The “fact checkers” at PolitiFact barely touch the talking heads on cable television anymore. They used to have a serious tilt against the Fox News hosts in prime time. So it’s unsurprising that on July 9, they published their first attack on conservative CNN analyst Scott Jennings, who offered a few tough words about Medicaid beneficiaries.

PBS is not only lamenting that its federal funding could be cut; it is also now lamenting that Planned Parenthood’s funding has been eliminated. On Tuesday’s Amanpour and Company, guest host Bianna Golodryga and New York Times reporter Caroline Kitchener lamented not only the GOP’s Planned Parenthood decision but also the three-year anniversary of Roe v. Wade’s…

Comedy Central’s The Daily Show returned from two weeks of vacation on Monday with Jon Stewart welcoming former 60 Minutes correspondent Steve Kroft to the program to claim that his former colleagues fear “losing the First Amendment” after mutual parent company Paramount settled with President Trump in a lawsuit over their 2024 campaign interview with Kamala Harris. Elsewhere…

Former President Barack Obama’s National Economic Council director has slipped from being the voice of reason on inflation to going full Cocaine Bear by screeching that President Trump was killing people with his economic agenda.

As President Trump’s big budget bill neared a crucial vote in the Senate on Monday, PBS News Hour’s most biased reporter, Laura Barron-Lopez, covered only one side of a critical part of the bill federal health care spending on Medicare and Medicaid. The sole guest for the segment not only represented a liberal health group, KFF (previously known as the Kaiser Family Foundation), but…
