In a rush to cast a pall on one element of President Trump’s announced farm relief, ABC’s Rachel Scott omitted another. Thus was the prophecy fulfilled when President Trump earlier referred to Scott’s employer as “ABC Fake News.” Watch as Scott mischaracterized the aid received by farmers as “taxpayer money”, although it isn’t: ABC News omits one material fact about the $12B farm assistance and botches another.DAVID MUIR: President Trump’s proposal to give American farmers a $12 billion bailout now in taxpayer money in part because of the pain caused by the president’s tariff policy?RACHEL SCOTT:… pic.twitter.com/n7wjgl8V2A — Jorge Bonilla…

The climate change lobby and eco-fanatic media suffered a major blow when a high-profile study predicting catastrophic economic damage from climate change was retracted due to significantly faulty data. The Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research study, published in April 2024 in the left-wing Nature journal, scaremongered based on supposed empirical findings from 1,600 regions over the past forty years that “the world economy is committed to an income reduction of 19% within the next 26 years independent of future emission” choices due to inevitable climate change. In the retraction notice published December 3, 2025, Nature noted that “post-publication, the results…
Since late January of 2012, the Washington Examiner’s Paul Bedard has once a week featured a “Mainstream Media Scream” selection in his “Washington Secrets” column. For each pick, usually posted online on Monday, I provide an explanation and recommend a “scream” rating (scale of one to five). This post contains the “Liberal Media Screams” starting in January 2025. > For 2023 and 2024, for 2021 and 2022, for 2020. For 2019. For 2018.

Sunday’s 60 Minutes kicked off with Lesley Stahl’s 13-minute interview with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), who’s quitting in January. CBS played up the anti-Trump angle, as expected: Marjorie Taylor Greene says Republicans “terrified to step out of line” when it comes to Trump Naturally, Stahl was eager to know what nasty things Republican members of Congress say about Trump behind his back. But the most amusing part came when Stahl attacked Greene over her lack of civility, an interesting take coming from nasty CBS. It’s disorienting to hear Greene mocking other Republicans who started “kissing his ass” when Trump…
After the case was thrown out in August, on Monday, Navy veteran Zachary Young filed an appeal of his defamation suit against Puck News. In addition to wanting Florida’s First District Court of Appeals to allow the case to proceed, Young also requested they order a new judge be assigned to preside over the case; pointing to Judge William Scott Henry’s comments about the merits of the case. Just as he did with his appeal for his defamation case against the Associated Press. The appeal filed by Young’s counsel Jason Greaves, didn’t hold back as it repeatedly accused Florida’s 14th Judicial…
Under Democrat Governor JB Pritzker, Illinois has refused to cooperate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), resulting in the release into the state of nearly 1,800 criminal illegal aliens since President Donald Trump took office, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reported Monday. Since January 20, Illinois’ refusal to honor detainer requests by ICE has resulted in the release of 1,768 criminal illegal aliens since January 20, DHS revealed in a press release, highlighting several of the most serious crimes of those released: 5 homicides, 141 assaults, 23 burglaries, 4 robberies, 24 dangerous drugs offenses, 15 weapons offenses, 10…

The scientific journal Nature has retracted a paper published in April 2024 that overestimated the economic effects of climate change and influenced central banks worldwide to create risk management scenarios. The article predicted a 62% drop in worldwide economic output by 2100 if carbon emissions were to continue without reduction. On Wednesday, the three scientists who worked on the study retracted it, citing “substantial” issues with the paper. The climate study’s findings were undermined by an article published by a separate team of economists earlier this year in Nature, calling into question problems with the data for Uzbekistan that skewed…
In early November, The Hill reported that Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Director Bill Pulte was working on a plan to introduce a 50-year home mortgage to buyers. This scheme is unwise. It will make housing more expensive, hurt taxpayers, and set the groundwork for a future housing crisis. Sound reasoning indicates that the FHFA should not create the 50-year mortgage. In fact, right there is the heart of the problem: that it is the Federal Housing Finance Agency that intends to create this mortgage product. The last 90 years of federal intervention in the housing market, from the National…
As California Governor Gavin Newsom gears up to run for president, what in the world will he run on? Californians know that Newsom will not boast, “I will do for America what I have done to California!” Why not? Count the reasons. California’s astronomical gas prices and taxes remain the highest in the continental U.S. Ditto the state’s trifecta of the highest electricity rates, the costliest home prices, and the fourth-highest home insurance costs. California has the largest unfunded liability debt in the nation, approaching $270 billion. The budget deficit each year usually ranges from $15 to $70 billion. Such…
President Trump agreed to a historic trade deal with South Korea this fall. The deal pledged that the Asian state would respect American companies and interests. But Korean officials already want to violate its spirit by punishing American-owned businesses. South Korean leaders want to impose strict restrictions on U.S. tech companies to support their own businesses and to encourage greater censorship. Kim Nang-geun, an influential lawmaker, argues that the tentative trade agreement doesn’t prevent his country from cracking down on tech platforms, even though the joint factsheet explicitly excludes such actions. Other senior officials are also clamoring for legislation to…

U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins says she will be moving to stop federal funding to 21 non-compliant states that have refused to provide data from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). In February, the Trump administration had asked all states to provide their SNAP data to the federal government as part of the administration’s efforts to root out waste and fraud in the welfare program. 29 mostly Republican-led states provided the data and revealed 500,000 cases of duplicate benefits as well as 186,000 deceased individuals’ Social Security numbers in use.

[embedded content] Andrew Schulz and his co-hosts on the Flagrant podcast nuked President Donald Trump’s recent pardon of a crypto billionaire whom the U.S. government accused of facilitating money laundering and called a national security threat. Schulz, who supported Trump in 2024 and is part of the so-called manosphere, began the conversation, arguing, “This is what I imagine the pardons are. It’s either like a favor from someone close to you before you get out of there, somebody who has been loyal to you and got hemmed up in some sh*t, and you’re like, ‘I need to protect them,’ you…
Share Copy Link White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Thursday said that CNN “would benefit from new ownership” moments after a tense exchange with Kaitlan Collins. During Thursday’s White Housing briefing, Collins asked the press secretary a question regarding inflation. When Collins claimed there were “mixed signals” regarding the state of the economy, Leavitt interjected to argue that inflation was actually down in comparison to the end of former President Joe Biden’s term. When Collins said that “no one’s arguing it wasn’t high under Biden,” Leavitt again interjected to accuse the media of not covering Biden-era inflation with the…
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt brawled with CNN’s Kaitlyn Collins Thursday over the affordability crisis and President Donald Trump’s seemingly contradictory statement about Christmas presents. “If the economy is as strong as the president has said it is, why is he telling parents two weeks before Christmas that they should only buy two or three dolls for their children?” Collins asked. Leavitt began, “The president is saying, if we want products made in America, made from American small businesses, a large part of the reason the president has effectively implemented tariffs, then we’re going to have better quality products…

A former acting director of the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) described the number of people deported during the Trump administration as a “remarkable accomplishment” on Thursday on MSNOW. President Donald Trump issued several executive orders after taking office to address illegal immigration and border security, including designating Mexican drug cartels, the Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua and the El Salvadoran prison gang MS-13 as foreign terrorist organizations. Former acting ICE Director John Sandweg told MSNOW host Chris Jansing that many of the deportations were in the interior of the country. (RELATED: Zohran Mamdani Claims Advising People How…
Few partnerships age as gracefully as the one between a forward-thinking brand and a reputable school. Universities, colleges, and even local technical institutes already sit on an online goldmine— credible domains, active research pages, and curious students eager to share discoveries. When marketers approach these institutions with genuine respect and mutual value in mind, the resulting backlinks do more than nudge rankings; they anchor your authority for years. The key is treating academia as a colleague, not a tool, and crafting collaborations that enrich both campus and company.

Noem testified alongside National Counterterrorism Center (NCC) Director Joe Kent and FBI National Security Branch Operations (NSB) Director Michael Glasheen, with the session focused heavily on the Trump administration’s immigration policies.

On Tuesday afternoon’s Chris Jansing Reports, MS NOW promoted a liberal activist who stalks immigration agents so she can warn illegal aliens of their presence and keep them from being arrested. She also made the left’s latest reference to Nazi Germany by invoking Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel. Jansing set up the piece by touting the “grandmother” who is trying to undermine federal agents: In New Orleans heightened fear as federal agents enforce President Trump’s immigration crackdown.

It was announced on Monday that ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel signed a one-year contract extension to remain at the network until at least May 2027, and when he took to the air that night, Kimmel made it obvious that a big reason why was to continue going after President Trump.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, Kimmel sarcastically retorted, “Well, I’m sorry you feel that way about 60 Minutes, and the last thing I want to do is upset you during this sensitive time, but I have one more bit…

On Friday night, Charlotte’s light rail system was again foisted into the national spotlight as a criminal illegal alien — 33-year-old Oscar Solarzano — allegedly stabbed an innocent fellow passenger and left them with serious injuries. Apprehended soon after, Solarzano was hit with a slew of charges, including attempted first degree murder. And, like we initially saw with the fatal September 5 stabbing of Ukrainian immigrant Iryna Zarutska, ABC, CBS, and NBC have shown no interest in covering this latest negative headline for the Queen City on their flagship morning and evening newscasts and Sunday political talk shows.

On Tuesday, a little over year since she made excuses for the assassination of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson and hyped the ghoulish reaction from her fellow leftist extremists, ABC’s Sunny Hostin used her platform on The View to take a crack at being the defense attorney for alleged assassin Luigi Mangione in the court of public opinion. In practice, the former federal prosecutor came off as needing to return to law school so she could learn about foundational concepts like probable cause.

Calling yourself a comedian does not give you the license to spread fake news under the guise of exaggeration or hyperbole, but once again NBC’s Saturday Night Live has done just that.

During the cold open about Hegseth taking questions from reporters, Jost played an exaggerated version of Hegseth that was frequently yelling, singing tonally inappropriate songs, or trying to…
In a CNN This Morning segment today on the trend of northern students choosing Southern colleges, Boston Globe reporter Beth Teitell was reluctant to admit that one reason they do so is to escape the leftist politics of Northern schools.

What are these students saying about why they’re making this decision?” Teitell ducked it, claiming that students chose the South because during COVID, students there were…
The New York Times has invented a new genre of reporting — covering big stories showing Democrats in a bad light years after the events that matter. At the tail end of 2025, The Times has freshly broken the news that the Biden administration flooded the country with illegal immigrants, partly for ideological and partisan reasons, partly out of sheer incompetence. Who knew? The nearly 4,000-word A1 story by Christopher Flavelle, with 14 colleagues contributing additional reporting and research, is certainly well sourced, but none of its sources have just come to light. It dissects Biden’s immigration misdeeds and missteps…
