Daniels: Dems Should Focus On Kitchen Tables Issues Like Trans Kids
Even by the low standards of MS NOW, senior Washington correspondent Eugene Daniels’s Thursday appearance on Chris Jansing Reports was a stellar example of how not to do journalism.

How News Aggregators Reinforce Political Ignorance
The other day, a young lady got on the elevator and promptly whipped out her smartphone and began scrolling. “Excuse me,” I said, “can I ask you where you get your news?” She said, “You mean like news about what’s going on in the world?” “Yes.” “Oh, TikTok.” This reminded me of a dinner conversation I once had with economist Thomas Sowell. We discussed the overwhelming consensus among…
Colbert: Show Was 'The Joy Machine' And My Job Was To 'Feel The News'
Stephen Colbert began the final episode of CBS’s The Late Show by unwittingly highlighting how it all went wrong. Colbert told the audience that he viewed his show as “the joy machine” and that he thought his job was to “feel the news with you,” even if it was not actually that joyful.

NewsBusters Podcast: Mosque Shooting Reveals 'Islamophobic' America?

CNN Host Tries to Equate Spencer Pratt A.I. Ads to Iran Propaganda
On Thursday’s CNN This Morning, host Audie Cornish casually threw Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt’s viral campaign videos into the same bucket as Iranian regime propaganda.
