Oliver Darcy

How dare a U.S. senator defend American sovereignty over, er, American land! That about sums up former CNN media reporter Oliver Darcy’s latest meltdown. Ted Cruz pressed two Hollywood executives about pop star Billie Eilish's Grammy speech about "no one is illegal on stolen land."

Conservatives could look at today’s incredibly fractured media environment and wonder why anyone would need to worry about the elite media, considering their trust numbers are in the basement (except among liberals) and their audiences keep eroding. But just breathe the media air any day, and what we used to call the “dominant media” still dominates in setting the political agenda.

It was all-but a foregone conclusion that elite, liberal journalists on the “media” beat would be throwing a collective tizzy Tuesday over CBS Evening News anchor Tony Dokoupil scoring an interview with President Trump. Over nearly 13 minutes, the two discussed the death of Renee Good, grocery prices immigration operations, Iran, and even the role of automation in working-class jobs…

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.

In his Monday night newsletter, former conservative media Benedict Arnold and Status founder Oliver Darcy expressed horror that the great people at NewsNation would hire “MAGA Media type personality” Katie Pavlich away from the Fox News Channel (and Townhall) to host a weekday primetime show and argued it “makes little sense”...unless it was to explicitly curry favor with Federal…

Writing Thursday night at his newsletter site Status, conservative media Benedict Arnold and former senior CNN media reporter Oliver Darcy threw a fit over the company now overseeing the Golden Globes – Jay Penske’s Penske Media Company (PMC) – allowing conservative and other non-liberal podcasters like Ben Shapiro and Tucker Carlson to be eligible for a new category for best podcasting.

Having former CNN media reporter-turned Substacker Oliver Darcy on once to freak out about Bari Weiss taking over CBS News was not good enough for PBS. It just had to do it again. On Tuesday, Darcy joined Amanpour and Company, where he had an epic meltdown over Weiss, the Trump administration, and conservative critiques of the news media.

In his podcast Power Lines posted on Friday, Status founder, former CNN media reporter, and far-left defender Oliver Darcy and sidekick Jon Passantino descended into some cartoonish smears of Bari Weiss taking over as CBS News editor-in-chief, casting doubt on The Free Press’s success and arguing they have not seen any evidence to support Weiss’s claim the far-left hates America.

Paramount Skydance, the giant media conglomerate which owns CBS, recently acquired the iconoclastic news site The Free Press, and just announced that FP’s founder Bari Weiss will become editor-in-chief of CBS News, causing conniption fits in legacy media newsrooms. Monday’s PBS News Hour brought on the perfect PBS News Hour type of guest to discuss the move. Oliver…

Doing their part to undermine and destroy Bari Weiss’s time at CBS News before she can even settle in, Oliver Darcy’s website Status posted Wednesday night a story filled with anonymous sources offering Mean Girls-esque smears of Weiss, painting her as “abrasive,” “chaos,” “erratic,” and someone who “struggl[ed] to effectively lead.” The result of these leaks, of course, are a giddy…

As the left-wing media wallowed in their self-absorbed censorship fantasy, MSNBC continued to reaffirm its commitment to being one of, if not the, worst offender. At the end of an exhaustingly boring week, Ana Cabrera Reports decided to add a little pizzazz to Friday morning by blatantly lying about what “comedian” Jimmy Kimmel’s possibly famous last words on ABC actually meant.

While most on CNN and the broadcast networks kept it civil and even eloquent at times in covering the murder of Charlie Kirk, former senior CNN media reporter Oliver Darcy chose to go the opposite direction on Wednesday night at his site Status, raging at conservative media for “particularly alarming” rhetoric “ratchet[ing] up the language” and sending America down “a darker path” unlike “…

Puck’s Dylan Byers dropped the bombshell Wednesday night that the rumored deal was “on the 1-yard-line” for CBS News’s parent company SkyDance to acquire former New York Times writer Bari Weiss’s indefatigable site The Free Press and grant Weiss a senior role inside CBS News.

Former CNN senior media reporter and liberal media janitor Oliver Darcy expressed disgust in his Tuesday night newsletter Status that “one of Warner Bros. Discovery’s most powerful stakeholders” and legendary media boss John Malone has been blasting CNN this week in interviews with CNBC and The New York Times about a new memoir, insisting CNN’s “a left-leaning, anti-Trump news service…
