As its immigration crackdown in Minneapolis intensifies, the Trump administration is leaning into messaging that borrows from phrases, images and music about national identity that have become popular among right-wing groups. ...The administration says it’s tired of criticism that its messaging is framed around white supremacy or Nazi slogans. “It seems that the mainstream media has become a meme of their own: The deranged leftist who claims everything they dislike must be Nazi propaganda,” White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said. “This line of attack is boring and tired. Get a grip." César Cuauhtémoc García Hernández, a law professor at Ohio...

Federal immigration officers have shot 11 people since September as the Department of Homeland Security has ramped up deportation operations around the country. In the majority of the shootings, officers have fired into cars — a tactic that law enforcement authorities and policing experts have been trying for decades to curtail. The vehicle shootings raise serious concerns among policing experts about the rapidly expanding deployment of DHS personnel into American communities, where officers are regularly captured on video clashing with immigrants who are in the country illegally as well as citizens who protest the arrests. The shootings “are not one-offs,”...

The internet is forever! At least that’s a concept most people on the internet besides CNN seem to grasp. On Tuesday, CNN made its double standard on inflation so nakedly apparent it needs an NC-17 rating. Inflation under Biden was "falling," but under Trump it's "persistent....as high prices continue to weigh on many Americans." The Bureau of Labor Statistics released a report January 13 finding that core consumer prices — which excludes volatile food and energy prices — increased less than expected at 2.6 percent year-over-year in December. The all-items index increased 2.7 percent on an annual basis, in line...

A lot of what we cover here at the Media Research Center consists of bias by omission. Specifically, when media outlets omit narrative-unfriendly stories in their entirety, or omit selected details from within those stories that are inconvenient to liberal narrative. Tonight on NBC Nightly News, we saw the exact opposite.

Working out, we can see the all the local media "news" reports at the gym. Some network affiliated stations, some 'independent' ones. Amazing that Minnesota has been the epicenter of fraud and took center stage on that and Florida media is silent. Then the governor of the state, the handpicked running mate of the 'black' woman sidekick to Sleepy Joe, is forced to quit his attempt for re-election. Florida media again is silent. But a moron driver tries to run over an ICE agent and the Miami media...goes all in on "eeeevil Trump!"

Anyone else notice this in their local news coverage? Maybe I see it more because there is a large Hispanic and especially Venezuelan population in Miami. But the Venezuelan diaspora is VERY HAPPY with President Trump for booting Maduro. *THE MEDIA REFUSES TO REPORT THIS FACT* Instead, the "journalists" say stuff like "The Venezuelans have hope for the future of their homeland..." But nothing about how they praise Trump.

Investigative reporter Catherine Herridge revealed how CBS executives blocked the Hunter Biden laptop from hell story. Catherine Herridge previously worked as the chief intelligence correspondent for Fox News. In 2019, she joined CBS News as a senior investigative correspondent. She was fired in 2024 after she probed the Hunter Biden laptop from hell story. Hunter Biden dropped off his damaged laptops at a Delaware computer repair shop run by John Paul Mac Isaac back in 2019. John Paul Mac Isaac’s life changed in April 2019 when a visibly drunk Hunter Biden stopped by his computer repair shop with three damaged...

A recent video by conservative YouTuber Nick Shirley alleged nearly a dozen day care centers in Minnesota that are receiving public funds are not actually providing any service. After the video went viral, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announced a "massive investigation on childcare and other rampant fraud" in the state. CBS News conducted its own analysis of nearly a dozen day care centers mentioned by Shirley: all but two have active licenses, according to state records, and all active locations were visited by state regulators within the last six months. CBS News' review also found dozens of citations related to...

Alfonsi's immigration piece needed additional reporting, Editor in Chief Bari Weiss told CBS staff

As Washington state residents take stock of widespread damage, officials say the recent succession of storms highlights why proactive work to protect communities from flooding is so essential. But the Trump administration has delayed or attempted to cut federal funding for some of those projects, leaving a slate of the state’s major initiatives in limbo. Washington had secured tens of millions of dollars in federal grants for projects to elevate houses, move people away from flood-prone areas and protect homes with new levees, among other measures. But earlier this year, the Trump administration attempted to cancel roughly $182 million in...

We’ve reported extensively on the shenanigans at CBS News, the network that was forced to fork over $16 million in July to settle Trump’s lawsuit concerning their deceptive editing of a Kamala Harris interview a month before the 2024 presidential election. Much drama ensued at the outlet as veteran diehards continued to insist that resisting Trump and spewing anti-American rhetoric was part of their job description. Give credit, however, to David Ellison, Chairman and CEO of Paramount (Skydance Corporation), who brought on independent journalist, former NY Times opinion editor, and nowadays free thinker Bari Weiss to oversee the hopelessly biased...

Apparently blatant editorializing in place of straight news now seems to be becoming increasingly the rule not the exception at the Associated Press.The latest example of AP breaking its own rules against opinionating in news stories is so blatantly absurd as to be laughable. The AP on Thursday actually took the November inflation rate of 2.7% which was below the expected 3.1% and somehow turned that good news into a negative. Check the headline on AP reporters Paul Wiseman's and Anne D'Innocenzio's editorial poorly disguised as an article, "US says price increases eased last month but data may be distorted...

President Donald Trump made a series of false claims during his prime-time address from the White House on Wednesday night, most of which have been debunked before. Here is a fact check of some of his assertions. Inflation and the economy Inflation under Trump: Near the end of the speech, Trump falsely claimed, “Inflation is stopped.” Inflation hasn’t stopped; the most recent available year-over-year inflation rate at the time he spoke on Wednesday, 3.0% in September, was the same as the rate when Trump returned to office in January – in fact, if you go to multiple decimal places,...

Following her historic win in Tuesday night's Miami mayoral runoff election, Eileen Higgins outlined her agenda. “It feels heavy," Higgins said. "I know that people are expecting a lot from the City of Miami... On the issue of immigration, the city has previously signed the controversial 287g agreement with immigration officials Higgins gave her thoughts on that agreement. “The city should never entered into that agreement,” she said. “There is no reason in the city of Miami that...

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 Saturday story about...

.... She was subsequently placed into a patrol vehicle but was released a short time later, according to the Miami Herald. "During a traffic stop, a U.S. citizen, who was driving her illegal alien boyfriend's car, refused to comply with repeated lawfully given orders by law enforcement to identify herself. She was removed from the vehicle and briefly held while her identity was confirmed. She was promptly released...

Bari Weiss, the new editor-in-chief at CBS News, is already making waves.The founder and editor of The Free Press and former New York Times columnist has adopted a rallying cry in meetings with colleagues, according to the Wall Street Journal.: "I wanna blow this up." Weiss's plan "is working to overhaul the organization’s evening news program, counter what she sees as a left-leaning bias in legacy media and make the newsroom operate more efficiently," reports the Journal. Paramount Global and its new boss, Dave Ellison, recently acquired CBS in a deal that was harshly criticized by other legacy media outlets....

UK Lawyers for Israel Charitable Trust Legal Director, Natasha Hausdorff, joins media consultant David Ross to discuss her own dealings with BBC News and the BBC’s response to allegations raised in an internal whistleblower report, published by The Telegraph. The memo — written by Michael Prescott — alleged failures in BBC management, concerns about accuracy and impartiality and issues of anti-Israel bias relating to coverage of Israel and the conflict in Gaza. An extract of Prescott's letter includes the following: "Claims against Israel seem to be raced to air or online without adequate checks, evidencing either carelessness or a desire...
