LaMonica McIver (left), DHS Sec Kristi Noem (right) Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ), who currently faces criminal charges for attacking and forcibly impeding and interfering with federal law enforcement outside of an ICE detention facility, scolded Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem with a personal vendetta during a Homeland Security Committee Hearing on Thursday. McIver was clearly attempting to get her “boss girl” soundbites to make a campaign video, but she just looked like an idiot. During her time to ask questions, McIver highlighted herself, Representative Grijalva, and Senator Padilla, claiming their “character, integrity, and bodies were attacked” by the Department of…

As the new Chief Operating Officer of Southwest Coalition for Life, Mayra Rodiguez is advancing a new model for the future of serving pregnant mothers. After exposing Planned Parenthood’s deceit of women and achieving a landmark victory over the abortion giant in court, Rodriguez is now a champion for authentic women’s health. “From the heart of Mexico City to the corridors of women’s healthcare in the United States, my journey has always been about serving women,” shared Rodriguez, who once ran three Planned Parenthood centers and will now lead a network of pro-life birthing centers committed to celebrating motherhood and protecting life. “The opposite of abortion isn’t just saying…

In an update to a study we first brought to you on Friday afternoon, ABC and NBC have only spent a combined 17 minutes and 16 seconds through Monday morning on their flagship morning and evening newscasts and Sunday political talk shows covering the latest out of the Somali community in Minneapolis, but only 21 percent (or three minutes and 35 seconds) of that was spent on the rampant welfare fraud scheme, which was the entire impetus for the headlines. The rest? It was spent demonizing President Trump’s comments excoriating those who came here and broke our laws. Overall, ABC,…
We’ve got a new interactive series called Worst Media Take of the Week, where you — our loyal NewsBusters visitors and MRC supporters — get to vote on which leftist journalist or celebrity had the worst media take of the week. Much appreciation to all who voted last week via NewsBusters and the MRC’s various social media sites (Facebook, Instagram and X.com).

The liberal ladies of ABC’s The View had their knickers in a bunch during Monday’s show because President Trump received a peace prize from FIFA last week. While mocking it as being “cringe” and meaningless, they sure had a lot to say about it; including that America didn’t feel safer under President Trump and that he needed to be investigated for corruption. “I don’t know. I just feel like he’s trying to hurt people’s feelings to piss them off. That’s not the way to do it,” moderator Whoopi Goldberg whined at the top of the segment, referring to Trump putting…
Jennifer Welch is the hot new pundette on the hard left. The New York Times posted an Amanda Hess valentine on how she’s hammering the Democrat establishment from the Left, and they’re here for it! The headline: “Is This Former Bravo Star Democrats’ Toughest Critic?” Let’s guess this means toughest from the “right direction.” She’s transformed from a Bravo reality-TV star to a trash-talking Trump-trasher with her “I’ve Had It” podcast with Angie “Pumps” Sullivan, her Bravo co-star. Hess, a cultural Critic At Large for the Times, hailed them: “They once railed against the kinds of people who clap when…
This past week, as several MS NOW hosts fretted over the recent deportation of a Babson College student to Honduras, it was barely mentioned that a court had issued a final order of deportation against her. She was apprehended at Logan International Airport as she tried to fly to Texas to visit her family for Thanksgiving.National correspondent and frequent deportation critic Jacob Soboroff went so far as to claim that the story proves that it is “complete BS” that the Donald Trump administration is “going after the worst of the worst.”On Thursday, when Morning Joe covered the story for the…
CBS News remained in the headlines last week vis-à-vis comings and goings as editor-in-chief Bari Weiss further having a look under the proverbial hood. This time, we saw a date for the expected departure of CBS Evening News co-anchor Maurice DuBois and a reported desire to sign CBS Mornings co-host Tony Dokoupil to the PM chair, but most notable was a questionable decision to bring over longtime ABC correspondent Matt Gutman. Yes, the same Gutman who said the texts between the suspect in Charlie Kirk’s assassination and his transgender lover were “heartbreaking,” “intimate” and “touching” (which he was forced to…
Google settled a racial bias lawsuit for $50 million. Merrill Lynch paid $20 million. Maryland taxpayers will have to pay $3 million to make a racial discrimination suit go away. “This is ridiculous! Taxpayers should not be on the hook for this!” complains Heather Mac Donald, author of “When Race Trumps Merit.” In our new video, she argues that companies and governments feel forced to pay because of a legal doctrine called “disparate impact.” “Most people don’t even know what it is!” I say. “It is their greatest weapon against excellence,” she replies, “and it is an abuse of the…
On PBS, every scandal seems to be a Trump scandal. Friday’s News Hour segment by Minnesota-based special correspondent Fred de Sam Lazaro finally acknowledged the incredible slow-emerging scandal of taxpayer fraud in that state, involving the theft of up to a billion dollars intended to feed children during the COVID crisis. The segment ran over seven minutes – but only 35% was devoted to the fraud itself. Instead the focus was on President Trump’s verbal fireworks in response, and ICE raids. In that way, the News Hour followed the other broadcast networks’ lead by spending most of its coverage fretting over ICE and…
ABC’s This Week with George Stephanopoulos featured Missouri GOP Senator Eric Schmitt, apparently to discuss ongoing operations in the Caribbean. The interview immediately went sideways, though, when Stephanopoulos tried to gotcha Schmitt with a recent presidential pardon. The interview followed that of a Democrat representative, which went as such things normally go- very smoothly. Watch as Schmitt takes Stephanopoulos to the woodshed over his selective pushback after a second pass at the pardon question: “Well, I’m curious about your pushback on that particular point. With your previous guest (@RepAdamSmith) you had zero pushback because he’s giving the Democrat talking points…
Anyone expecting tough questions from CBS’s Margaret Brennan to U.S. Representative Ilham Omar was sorely disappointed at the end of this week’s Face the Nation. Brennan instead provided a tour-de-force in media coddling, as Omar was the beneficiary of a kid-gloves interview that cast her as the victim of unfortunate events beyond her control. This coddling of Omar is, as was noted by our own Tim Graham, part of a broader pattern seeking both to shield Omar from her connections to the Somali welfare scam currently roiling the state of Minnesota and to Trumpwash the scandal by focusing on President…

The Independent’s White House reporter Andrew Feinberg pressed the Trump administration Thursday on how the president’s vast wealth compares to Americans who are struggling with affordability as the holiday season gears up. During a stop in Pennsylvania on Wednesday, Trump repeated his claim that parents don’t need to buy their kids “37 dolls.” “About his doll comments the other night,” Feinberg began. “The president is a billionaire, probably the wealthiest person who ever served as president. Is it a good look for him to be telling parents, ‘You should only buy two or three dolls for your kids,’ when he’s…
A federal grand jury in Virginia declined to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James for mortgage fraud on Thursday.

Better (very) late than never? New York Times reporter Christopher Flavelle issued an exhaustive chronological rundown, sympathetic but still damning, of former President Joe Biden’s politically disastrous immigration policy, a dangerous mix of amnesty activism and passivity. The Sunday front-page headline introducing the whopping 4,000-word story: “Inside Biden’s Losing Bets on Immigration — Not Heeding Warnings, and Giving Trump an Opening.” A shame then that the Times has spent years defending loose immigration policy while sliming Republican enforcement of immigration law in general, and accusing Trump’s more assertive enforcement of being rooted in violent nativism and racism. In the weeks…
Comedy Central’s Jordan Klepper aired his latest The Daily Show special on Monday that proved why conservatives should stop trying to win the approval of liberal comedy shows and Norwegian socialists as he tried to argue there is a logical disconnect between the idea that President Trump deserves a Nobel Peace Prize and what the administration has done in cities like Portland, Oregon. Worst of all, Klepper couldn’t even keep his clothes on for the entire episode as he joined Portland’s Naked Bike Ride to try to make his point. Before traveling to Portland, Klepper jetted off to Norway to…
We just went through the longest government shutdown in history over contention regarding the renewal of temporarily enacted government subsidies to Obamacare premiums. This battle is not over. Eight Democrats threw in the towel and agreed to postpone the issue and cooperate with Republicans to get a continuing resolution passed to fund our government and get back to business. But the subsidies still need to be dealt with, so rest assured that more rancor and division lie ahead. What troubles me is our refusal, or inability, as a nation, to deal with issues of policy in the most fundamental way,…
How is talk radio doing when so many young people don’t listen to broadcast radio? How can anyone stand listening to NPR?

In a rush to cast a pall on one element of President Trump’s announced farm relief, ABC’s Rachel Scott omitted another.

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…

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…
