Fake News Word of the Day: “Ambush!"

Ed just wrote an excellent piece on the "Biden Nightmare" being an anvil around the neck of the Democrats. And it is true that both the media and the Democrats have taken a major hit in their approval ratings, and that some Democrats and left-leaning Independents have reconsidered their allegiance to both. And yet, many of those people who say they have lost trust in these institutions are still accepting their characterizations of what Trump is doing. This phenomenon is called the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect. The Gell-Mann amnesia effect is a cognitive bias describing the tendency of individuals to critically...

CNN dismissed President Donald Trump’s claims about falling grocery prices just weeks before government data confirmed the sharpest monthly decline in food-at-home costs in nearly five years. The latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) showed the food-at-home index dipping 0.4% in April — the steepest drop since September 2020 — with egg prices alone falling 12.7%, the biggest one-month plunge since 1984. Those numbers landed Tuesday, the same day CNN Business conceded the president’s previous claims about egg prices are “true now.”

Talk about having egg on your face. In an article published Tuesday on their website, CNN decided to make a badly-cooked omelette out of itself by admitting President Donald Trump was actually on to something about falling egg prices, but still attempted to say he was still peddling “fiction.” CNN Business Executive Editor David Goldman just couldn't bring himself to fully admit that Trump was right and wrote an oxymoronic headline that reeked of contradiction, “Trump’s egg price fiction has suddenly become reality.” Yeah, we couldn’t make sense of that logic either.

Several of the key voter groups that provided President Donald Trump’s most important electoral gains in November are recoiling from him as his term moves past the 100-day mark. But it remains unclear how much Democrats can benefit from these growing doubts. In 2024, Trump improved his performance among some big voting blocs that have historically favored Democrats, including Latinos, younger men, non-White voters without a college degree, and, to some extent, Black men. Trump’s advances generated exuberant predictions from an array of right-leaning analysts that he had achieved a lasting realignment and cemented the GOP’s hold on voters of...

Long before she was a Fox News host who pushed pro-Trump election conspiracy theories, Jeanine Pirro was an ambitious New York politician whose career stalled after she was recorded plotting to bug her then-husband’s boat to catch him in an affair. The revelation rocked Pirro’s campaign for New York attorney general nearly 20 years ago, resulting in days of front-page headlines in the city’s tabloids (“BUG THIS LOVE BOAT!” blared the Daily News cover). The conversation took place in 2005 between Pirro and the former commissioner of the New York Police Department, Bernard Kerik, a close ally of Rudy Giuliani’s....

After an unprecedented on-air hissy fit last week over the forced exit of a longtime editor, 60 Minutes's Scott Pelley decided to go all in on the Trump-hate, using his on-air time to praise and promote Marc Elias, the architect of the Russia hoax scandal and probably the world's sleaziest lawyer. According to Breitbart News's Joel Pollak: CBS News’ 60 Minutes portrayed Democrat election lawyer Marc Elias as a victim of President Donald Trump’s supposed retaliation against law firms — without once mentioning Elias’s sordid background. CBS’ Scott Pelley portrayed Elias as a hero, the only lawyer brave enough to...

Scott Pelley’s 60 Minutes segment on Sunday started with a disclaimer, as if he knew the segment critical of President Donald Trump’s executive order aimed at curtailing frivolous political lawsuits was a more than a tad biased. “It was nearly impossible to get anyone on camera for this story, because of the fear now running through our system of justice,” Pelley explained. What he actually meant is likely that CBS leadership didn’t insist that he offer a balanced segment by finding credible sources on both sides of the topic. When Pelley introduced Democrat operative Marc Elias, the disclaimer made sense....

Byron York @ByronYork I know the winner is enormously deserving, but I still find it hard to believe that this photo did *not* win the Pulitzer Prize in breaking news photography. 2:58 PM · May 5, 2025

Judge James Boasberg, the chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, has repeatedly been assigned cases to do with President Donald Trump's second term, as Townhall has been covering. Congress has taken notice, and the House last month passed a bill to rein in rogue judges like Boasberg and others. Questions still remain, though, and on Monday, Townhall obtained a letter from Reps. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Darrell Issa (R-CA), and Chip Roy (R-TX) regarding such concerns. The letter was sent to Angela D. Caesar, the Clerk of the Court for the U.S. District Court for...

This CNN segment was actually going quite well until CNN's Isobel Yeung sat down with a member of the Sinaloa Cartel and treated him as some sort of a victim of Donald Trump's anti-cartel policies. You gotta see this: VIDEO AT LINK.................. According to the Trump administration, you are a terrorists, I mean the cartels have been labeled a foreign terrorist organization. What do you make of that? What's your message to Donald Trump if he's watching this? Yes, these are the questions CNN asked to a flippin' Sinaloa Cartel member who makes fentanyl for consumers in the U.S. Bro's...

Friday, during Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” Trafalgar Group pollster Robert Cahaly called out so-called “fake polls” intended to pressure congressional Republicans to back away from the support of President Donald Trump’s agenda. “You know, it was interesting to watch the focus group, Robert, with Van Jones, that I had in the opening monologue,” host Sean Hannity said. “And you know, people are not regretting voting for Donald Trump and then to watch their polls to say, yeah, if the election were held again today, Trump would still wipe the floor with Kamala Harris or probably any other Democrat for that...

In a stunning new development, President Trump has signed a sweeping executive order defunding National Public Radio (NPR) and Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), the Democrats’ taxpayer-funded leftist propaganda machines. As The Gateway Pundit reported, the president previously called on Congress to defund the absurdly dishonest “news” organizations following a House Oversight DOGE subcommittee hearing, which exposed the stations’ already well-known bias and radical content. This includes documentaries about transvestites and transitioning, a documentary about “Racist Trees,” and so-called educational programming for young children, including toddlers, that featured a cross-dressing freak. They have continued pushing false narratives, especially about the Trump...

VIDEO"Thank you sir! May I have another?"That scene from "Animal House" will reverberate through your mind when watching President Trump doling it out to ABC's Terry Moran during their interview. Poor Terry learned the hard way that when you try to play Fake News games with President Trump, he will go full Animal House on you.

In an appalling defense of illegal alien criminals, arrested with previous convictions for heinous crimes such as murder, rape, and various sex crimes against children, CNN’s Jake Tapper criticized the Trump White House’s decision to put 100 signs with alien mugshots on the front lawn. In celebration of securing the border in the President’s first 100 days in office, the White House on Monday lined the lawn behind where the media does live shots with yard signs featuring arrested alien criminals’ mugshots and their prior convictions and pending charges. Press members were also provided with a packet listing the names,...

In an exclusive to Breitbart News, the latest public opinion survey from Rasmussen Reports (a rare reputable pollster) shows Regime Media polls no longer fool anyone. Now that President Donald Trump has reached 100 days in office and we are more than 18 months away from an election that will expose how good or bad media polling is, the fake media feel comfortable releasing a slew of fake polls looking to undermine Trump. We’re told he’s sliding, hitting record lows, putting his party in danger for the upcoming midterms. Everyone hates his agenda, everyone hates him, and blah-ditty-blah, blah, blah.

Chuck Todd scoffed at the premise that the media failed to adequately cover the decline of former President Joe Biden ahead of the 2024 election. Speaking with Chris Cillizza on his Substack channel Monday, Todd — the former moderator of NBC’s Meet the Press — rejected the idea that media outlets dropped the ball and did not question whether Biden’s cognitive function was sufficient to run the country for another four years. “This is not a media failure,” Todd said. “This was a failure of the Democratic party. And the virtue signaling that some people have done to try to...

Pollster Mark Mitchell Says The Left Is Coordinating a FAKE Poll Dump To Cover Up The Success of President Trump's First 100 Days: "A psyop is happening... A coordinated dump of polling... Trying to undermine the anti-establishment president."

Scott Jennings GOES OFF on CNN panel after they blame the RIGHT-WING for a lack of trust in media and call new media "freaks." JENNINGS: "What the right wing is taking advantage of is finally the American people saying enough is enough. They're tired of feeling like the mass media screens out one viewpoint versus another in political coverage. They're tired of media institutions favoring one party over another. They're tired of narratives over factual stories. If I had any advice for 60 Minutes or anybody else, it would be: just cover the news and try to be fair about...
