This week, the major broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC have dedicated a stunning 22 minutes and 21 seconds to President Trump’s comments repeatedly slamming the Somali community in Minnesota as “garbage” and having “ripped off that state,” but only about 28 percent (or 27.7 percent) mentioned Trump’s remarks were in relation to a years-long welfare fraud scheme in Democrat-run Minnesota carried out by dozens of Somalis. Put another way, only six minutes and 12 seconds were dedicated on the flagship network morning, evening, and Sunday political talk show newscasts to explaining why President Trump was sounding off on Somalis…

UPDATE: The next day, Friday December 5, Jake Tapper apologized for the flub during an update on the case. “Yesterday, minutes before we showed you the suspect’s photo, I should note, I mistakenly said that the suspect was white. Obviously, as the photo revealed, he’s black. Apologies for that mistake.” Will he write a book about getting this one wrong too? CNN host made a fool out himself again Thursday evening. He kicked off The Lead by falsely claiming that the suspect arrested for planning pipe bombs outside of the Democratic and Republican National Committees national offices ahead of January…
On Thursday, members of the House and Senate Armed Services and Intelligence Committees viewed video of the U.S. military’s controversial “second strike” on a boat which was allegedly transporting drugs in the Caribbean back in September. This story has become an obsession of Democrats, and their friends in the leftist media, many of whom have called this action a “war crime.” During Thursday’s edition of CNN’s The Arena, host Kasie Hunt led her show with the story, and was not close to being fair and impartial, while hiding the military credentials of Senator Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) who said the strike…
The judge who presided over Thursday’s hearing regarding a National Public Radio (NPR) lawsuit against the Trump administration is skeptical of President Trump’s executive order ending funding for public media – and could strike it down without a trial, NPR reported Friday. Since the start of his second term in the White House, a host of activist judges have intervened to block Pres. Trump’s Constitutional authorities to implement his America First agenda, a trend that has elicited a harsh rebuke from NewsBusters Executive Editor Tim Graham: “When can we get these Democrat judges out of our Democracy!? Trump rescinded the…

MyPillow founder and staunch Trump ally Mike Lindell officially announced his campaign for Governor of Minnesota on Thursday. Lindell will be challenging incumbent Democrat Gov. Tim Walz, whom President Donald Trump recently called “retarded,” in the 2026 election. The announcement, made during an appearance on Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast, emphasized his plan to protect families from rising crime, ease burdensome taxes and regulations that stifle businesses, support those battling addiction, and improve Minnesota’s education system. “I’m still standing; MyPillow is still standing; and now I want you to know that I will stand for you as the next governor…
An OnlyFans model is claiming that fired Michigan Wolverines football coach Sherrone Moore “slid into” her direct messages after it emerged Thursday that he allegedly follows dozens of models from both OnlyFans and Instagram, and previously, he was in attendance at a party hosted by Sean “Diddy” Combs. Moore – who was earning $30 million, dramatically fired Wednesday for an alleged “inappropriate relationship” and then jailed on allegations of assault – sent flirty direct messages to fitness influencer and OnlyFans creator Mia Sorety, she claims.“i wasnt surprised he was all in my DMs trying to risk it all with an…
“Unexpectedly” was the word of the day Thursday for media reporting on Commerce Department numbers showing that the U.S. goods and services trade deficit fell in September to the lowest monthly level since June of 2020. According to the Commerce Department report issued Thursday, the trade deficit shrank 10.9% from August, thanks to a 3.0% increase in exports dwarfing a much smaller 0.6% rise in imports. Analysts had predicted that the September trade deficit would grow to between $62.5-63.5 billion. Instead, the trade deficit decreased $6.4 billion from its August level. At $52.8 billion, September’s trade deficit was about $10…

Here is a question you can ask the Google AI: “Can the Associated Press editorialize?”And here is the answer you will get: “No, the Associated Press (AP) strives for factual, nonpartisan reporting and prohibits its journalists from editorializing or expressing personal opinions in their news coverage; their core mission is to provide objective news, but they face scrutiny and debate over potential biases, requiring consumers and member editors to remain vigilant for bias and clearly identify third-party contributions.” That’s some remarkably unintelligent artificial intelligence. Well, it sure seems like the AP violated its own alleged prohibition of editorializing with their…

Shortly after noon on Friday, at the draw for the 2026 World Cup, President Donald Trump was presented with the first ever “FIFA Peace Prize” by FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) President Gianni Infantino at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. The draw is a huge deal, as it determines which countries will play each other and where, as they open the competition next summer. Both CNN and Fox News carried part of it live, but it didn’t take long for CNN to dump out of their coverage, once Trump received his award, and that wasn’t the worst part. Dana Bash, hosting…

Radical Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) lost her prominence in the Biden years as they downplayed the fringe a bit. But now that “Islamophobia” is back as President Trump called Omar and her friends “garbage,” the networks ran to pamper her again. One reason Trump might have been called Rep. Ilhan Omar “garbage” is her connections to the fraudsters in the Somali community that stole more than $1 billion in government money that was supposed to feed children. On his CNN program The Lead on Wednesday, host Jake Tapper began by setting the stage about the fraud — before nudging Omar’s expected…

Hoover Institution Visiting Fellow Bjorn Lomborg completely flipped the script on the climate activists in the media and academia who were predicting hurricane catastrophe for the U.S. this year.

Lomborg’s core argument was that “Scientific and media bias promote the illusion that global warming produces nothing but bad results.” Talk about a plot twist. MRC Business drafted a…

On Saturday’s edition of MS NOW’s The Weekend, co-host Jackie Alemany, discussing the huge Feeding Our Future welfare fraud conducted by Somalis in Minnesota, prompted Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison to discuss how President Trump’s criticism is just another outbreak of bigotry. She “explained” in her question to Ellison that Trump has ” historically used isolated instances to justify this language of bigotry and paint with extremely broad brushstrokes and make these generalizations. He has honed in on this investigation into Feeding Our Future, which your office actually prosecuted.” That is false. It was a federal prosecution. Then she made it…

During Thursday’s Inside Politics, host Dana Bash and her guests covered the breaking news that the FBI arrested a suspect alleged to be the would-be Capitol Hill pipe bomber from January of 2021.

In the last month, media elitists attacked Donald Trump’s shutdown strategy as cruel but spun the Democrats’ cave-in to Trump as a smart retreat. On PBS, Jonathan Capehart claimed there was a “meanness and a cruelty” to Team Trump’s handling of the shutdown, and David Brooks pushed the Democrats to emphasize the “once-in-a-nation’s history threat to democracy” that Trump posed. MS NOW’s Katy Tur claimed it revealed Trump’s “dark side.” Her colleague Joe Scarborough spun Democrats’ backing down to Trump as one of history’s “greatest retreats,” like Dunkirk.

Which, in turn, raises what should be obvious questions. Those questions would be: How will the liberal “mainstream” media cover the 2026 election?
