Hold January 6 ‘Insurrection’ Committee-Styled Hearings on Obamagate!
Last week, I examined the reaction to and the consequences of a possible indictment of former President Barack Obama over “Obamagate,” the false claim that “the intelligence community” concluded a) Russians interfered in the 2016 election (which is not in dispute), b) they did so to help elect candidate Donald Trump, and c) Trump “colluded” with the Russians to get elected.
Texas-Obsessed PBS Totally Ignores Dems Side of House Gerrymander Wars
A redistricting arms race? Texas Republicans' plan to redraw the congressional map and eliminate five Democratic-held U.S. House seats, which would help the GOP retain control of the House in next year's midterm elections, sent Democrats in the Texas legislature fleeing to Illinois and New York to avoid a sufficient “quorum” in the chamber to vote on the measure. The spat led off Monday…
ABC, NBC Relish GOPer Facing ‘Chaotic,’ ‘Furious’ ‘Tense’ Leftist Mob
As the broadcast networks are prone to do (and did earlier this year), ABC and NBC used their flagship Tuesday morning news shows to fawn over a stacked room of far-left hooligans wreaking havoc at a town hall held by Congressman Mike Flood (R-NE). They predictably painted it as a harbinger of things to come with the Big, Beautiful Bill now law.
CBS, NBC Team With TX Dems to Blame GOP for Delayed Hill Country Aid
On Monday night and Tuesday morning, the “Big Three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC continued to trumpet Texas Democrats fleeing to Illinois, New York, and other blue bastions across the country because Republicans hurt their feelings by wanting to redraw the state’s congressional maps. But in addition to the typical love notes, CBS and NBC went as far as accepting and peddling their spin that…
Nets Hail TX Dems Going to Illinois, Fighting for ‘Democracy’ vs. GOP
On Monday, ABC, CBS, and NBC used their flagship morning news shows to gush over the “Texas-sized fight” and “standoff” state Democrats pitched by cowardly flocking to Illinois in opposition to a Republican-led redrawing of the Lone Star State’s 38 House seats. Framing it as standing up for “democracy,” CBS and NBC ignored the left’s penchant for gerrymandering and all three saw no problem…
BREAKING: CPB Announces It's Shutting Down Next Month, Bozell Reacts
Deadline.com is reporting the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is shutting down its operations after the loss of federal funding. "The CPB informed employees on Friday that the majority of staff positions will end on Sept. 30, with a small transition team in place through January, 2026." If this happens, this is not a shutdown of PBS or NPR stations, but a shutdown of the corporation that…
BREAKING: CPB Gave Tax Dollars to George Soros-Backed Censorship Giant
It’s bad enough that the Corporation for Public Broadcasting had been funneling millions in tax dollars to leftist propaganda mills NPR and PBS over the decades. But what if we were to tell you that the CPB funded one of America's "fact-checking" giants backed by George Soros responsible for censoring conservatives on social media platforms for years? Because that’s exactly what we’re about to…
Nets SKIP Another Biden Aide Taking the 5th, Obsess on Trump-Epstein
On Friday, ex-Biden White House deputy chief of staff Annie Tomasini became the third key aide to take the Fifth Amendment, invoking her right against self-incrimination and declining to way whether Team Biden “instructed her to lie” about Biden’s health. Network coverage? Zip. Zilch. Zero. But from Monday to Friday, the ABC/CBS/NBC evening newscasts spent more than 30 minutes on Jeffrey…
NPR Blames ‘Climate Change’ for Texas Floods and ‘Brutal Rainstorms’
The cuts to National Public Radio’s taxpayer funding have definitely been a long time coming. The leftist outlet is blaming climate change (there’s a surprise) for — wait for it — a lot of rain, in summertime!
Quiet Death: Networks Barely Cover Final Vote to Defund PBS, NPR
Despite the fact that their political correspondents were consumed by suddenly being concerned with a president’s health and their gleeful Epstein coverage, one would have thought ABC, CBS, and NBC could have still found time to go full Chicken Little about the House’s final passage of the $9 billion rescissions package that included a $1 billion clawback of funding to far-left PBS and NPR.…
CNN Uses FAKE Data, Says Trump Encourages Racial Gerrymandering
On the July 15, 2025 broadcast of CNN NewsNight, Abby Phillip and Tiffany Cross denounced Texas’s mid‑decade redistricting as “racial gerrymandering,” citing the claim that 95 percent of Texas’s growth since 2010 came from Black and Hispanic residents, and gerrymandering would undermine the voting power of minorities on the cusp of midterm elections. Abby Phillip opened the segment by…
Leavitt Destroys Hail Marys From NPR, PBS Ahead of Rescission Vote
While many in the White House press corps used their time Thursday afternoon to show sudden concern about transparency in the Jeffrey Epstein case, there were a few others who asked real questions about socialist Zohran Mamdani, Christians abroad, hospitals ending transgender surgeries for minors, reopening Alcatraz and, most importantly for those of us at the Media Research Center, the…
PBS's Last Gasp: Save Public Media for the Safety of Remote Alaska
On Monday evening, hours before the U.S. Senate passed 51-48 President Trump’s rescission proposal to defund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which would end taxpayer funding for PBS and NPR, guest host William Brangham hosted Tom Abbott, general manager of…
NYT Editorial Board Compares Defunding NPR, PBS to ‘Defund the Police’
The New York Times leadership actually attempted to sell readers on the dimwitted notion that stripping tax dollars from leftist public media is just as nutty as defunding police departments. This is the same newspaper that largely rationalized nixing police funding across a number of stories over the past few years.
