In the immediate aftermath of the capture and extradition of strongman Nicolas Maduro and his wife, the situation on the ground in Venezuela has become increasingly  complicated. Only one network has accurately reported on the marauding pro-regime goon squad whose mission is to terrorize everyday citizens into compliance with the regime.

What, you may ask, has sent Oliver Darcy into hysterics again? The sanctimonious media scold is in full meltdown mode over the newly revamped CBS Evening News, publishing a hysterical review on his Status newsletter.

On CNN This Morning, CNN contributor Lulu Garcia-Navarro, formerly of NPR, claims that the US operation in Venezuela resulting in the removal of the dictator Nicolas Maduro has caused "increased repression" in that country.

A day after Secretary of War Pete Hegseth moved to censure Democratic Senator Mark Kelly (AZ) for his poke-the-bear video last year all-but-directly encouraging members of the military to refuse to orders from President Trump, Kelly ran whining Tuesday to ABC’s Good Morning America and CBS Mornings as both were more than willing to celebrate him “fighting back” and “speaking…

Tuesday was day two of The View’s meltdown over President Trump arresting Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro and extraditing him to the U.S. This time however, co-host Sunny Hostin amped up her rhetoric from the previous day and argued that Maduro should have remained in power because his removal supposedly wasn’t done the “right” way. It was also Joy Behar’s first day back since…

Tim Walz is going away, but the Democratic Party’s Tim Walz crisis isn’t. The Minnesota governor gave up his quest for a third term Monday: Staying out of jail will be challenging enough for him over the next few months, never mind prolonging his stay in office. Federal prosecutors estimate the Somali daycare scam and other frauds perpetrated under his watch cost taxpayers up to $9 billion.…

Following an unscheduled, two-day soft launch thanks to the U.S. military action in Venezuela to capture dictator Nicolas Maduro, Monday marked the first official episode of the new CBS Evening News with Tony Dokoupil that, aside from a teleprompter snafu, came off as refreshingly down-the-middle and normal. One might suggest normal might convey a feeling of boredom or staleness. But…

One would think that if the hometown residence of the Vice President had its windows smashed by someone wielding a hammer, who was subsequently arrested by police after being detained by Secret Service agents, that it would make the three nightly network newscasts. But since it was an attack on JD Vance's Cincinnati dwelling, ABC and CBS skipped it. 

For the left, 2026 will be a sad year in the realm of late night comedy because The Late Show host Stephen Colbert will depart the scene in May. For everyone else, the CBS host’s Monday ode to the Soviet Union with Puck News Washington correspondent Julia Ioffe was a good reminder of why they will not miss him.

Media Research Center President David Bozell and NewsBusters Executive Editor Tim Graham joined The Sean Spicer Show Monday night to dismantle the media’s reaction to the arrest of indicted Venezuelan narco-terrorist Nicolás Maduro, calling out the networks’ reflexive negativity and double standards when covering decisive U.S. action under President Trump.

Liberals naturally gravitate to marking the fifth anniversary of the January 6 riot at the Capitol, and that includes the so-called "independent fact checkers." PolitiFact promoted its January 6 category page, and boasted of more than 100 "fact checks," but the tilt is dramatic. There are 44 "checks" of named conservatives or Republicans, compared to just three for Democrats, almost 15 to 1.…

The late night comedy shows kicked off 2026 on Monday by talking about the big news of Nicolas Maduro’s capture by U.S. forces on Saturday in Venezuela. According to the liberal quintet, the most obvious motivations for President Trump to order such a move were to distract from the Epstein files and because Trump did not like Maduro’s dance moves.

Submerged in all the coverage of the American military seizing Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro and his wife on Saturday was how well this dramatic mission went: the target was apprehended with zero American deaths. But the media spin was: this must be illegal, this must be headed for failure, this feels like American imperialism. 

National Public Radio’s Morning Edition offered a petulant rundown of the shocking and wildly successful involuntary expatriation of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro from Caracas to face drug trafficking charges in America (“7 takeaways from Trump's action in Venezuela”). Senior political editor Domenico Montanaro unleashed this doozy of a double-standard for entry No. 4, sub-headed…
