Point and laugh at The Hollywood Reporter. After four years of Team Biden pressuring Big Tech to crush dissent on social media, not to mention Team Biden pressuring the news media to crush any word of President Joe Biden‘s mental decline, they’re going to warn the world about Donald Trump and censorship.
The silly headline on this silly article is “Trump’s Media Censorship Arsenal Is Growing.” Beware, says the subhead: “A new roadmap for the president-elect and his advisors to chill free speech has surfaced as he targets networks critical of him.”… Continue Reading

Written by Tim Graham
Joe Biden may still hold the office of President of the United States, but the media are treating him like he’s anything but a newsmaker. For much of Biden’s presidency, reporters were much more energized to cover the apparent menace of Donald Trump than agitate the officials that were always hiding Biden. Now he seems invisible.
On Dec. 15, the president spoke to a Democratic National Committee holiday party. Any reporter would expect a pep talk, with all the echoes of “we’ll get them next time.”… Continue Reading

Written by Tim Graham
Don’t call PolitiFact an “independent fact-checker.” When they assemble to select their “Lie of the Year,” they have singled out Donald Trump in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019, 2020 and 2021. No Democrat has been tagged with this dishonor since Trump arrived on the scene.
It was Trump again this year, as PolitiFact tweeted: “A lie marked a town and its residents in the name of campaign rage. It was absurd. It was consequential.… Continue Reading

In the Harry Potter series, the villain Lord Voldemort is known as “He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.” There’s a similar sentiment whenever someone expresses a heterodox opinion on vaccines.
The long knives are already out for Health and Human Services secretary nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. While there are valid concerns among pro-life activists, the most prominent objection is Kennedy’s vaccine skepticism.
U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) labeled Kennedy a “denier of science.” Kennedy has pushed “the scientifically discredited belief that childhood vaccines cause autism,” The New York Times wrote.… Continue Reading

MSNBC claims it was “unaware” that Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign had donated $500,000 to Al Sharpton’s activist organization just weeks before Sharpton interviewed Harris on the network.
MSNBC isn’t saying what it plans to do about this supposedly shocking revelation, but one employee claims it is raising eyebrows among his co-workers, who consider it a “bridge too far” even for notoriously lax MSNBC.

On November 12, the Washington Free Beacon reported that the Harris campaign had contributed $250,000 to Sharpton’s National Action Network on September 5, and again on October 1.… Continue Reading

The numbers speak for themselves. MSNBC is suffering through a ratings catastrophe as the disillusioned loyalists, who kept believing the network’s stable of left-wing hosts who continued to promise that Trump was an unelectable Hitler, have walked away.

The 2024 presidential campaign is ending pretty much where it began: loathing the never-ending presence of Donald Trump. On the day before the election, The New York Times front page displayed a gaudy editorial (badly disguised as “News Analysis”) under the title “Torrent of Lies Redefines Political Norms.”
Doesn’t that sound like a hard-charging rerun of 2016? Nothing ever seems to change from the paper that gaudily proclaimed under Trump that “The Truth Is More Important Now Than Ever.”… Continue Reading

No one familiar with the world of politics would mistake Vox co-founder Matthew Yglesias as anything but a long-time, card-carrying leftist. As pointed out by the Washington Free Beacon,
He advocated for lying about the benefits of Republicans’ tax cuts. He dismissed Joe Biden’s plagiarism habit. He tacitly endorsed terrorizing Tucker Carlson’s family.
No longer with Vox, Yglesias runs his own podcast and Substack newsletter, farming for attention with provocative posts on his X account.… Continue Reading

Written by Rev. Thorin Anderson
Listeners to mainstream Media outlets cannot miss the fact that most representatives of the legacy news organizations consider Donald Trump to be a serious, even existential, threat to America. The fear they have engendered is such that two people have taken it upon themselves to try to take him out! Are these media elite right, or are they distracting from the one who really does desire to radically transform the country?… Continue Reading
