Lest anyone still have doubts, two ex-Politico reporters just confirmed how far the media went to protect Joe Biden prior to the 2020 presidential election. It’s solid proof that these outlets can’t be trusted. On a podcast this week, Axios’ Mark Caputo and Puck’s Tara Palmeri revealed that Politico intentionally killed or resisted negative stories about Biden and his son — citing, for instance, its limited coverage of The Post’s election-eve scoop on Hunter Biden’s laptop. “Politico did that terrible, ill-fated headline: 51 intelligence agents, or former intelligence agents, say that the Hunter Biden laptop was disinformation,” recalled Caputo. “Turns...

CBS is considering settling a $10 billion lawsuit brought by Trump over its deceptively edited ’60 Minutes’ interview with Kamala Harris. CBS executives are reportedly worried ongoing litigation with President Trump will interfere with a merger with Skydance. “Paramount, owner of CBS, its namesake studio and several cable channels, has a major piece of business in front of the new administration: its planned merger with Skydance Media,” The Wall Street Journal reported. “It’s become clear to executives at both companies that Trump’s dissatisfaction with CBS News will make the review tougher than they anticipated, and that they’ll likely need to...

The Biden administration is formally considering commuting the sentence of the convicted felon who stole and leaked incoming President Trump's tax records along with those of thousands of other taxpayers, in the biggest tax data heist in U.S. history.

Three senior Justice Department officials violated internal policies and engaged in “misconduct” when they leaked details about a non-public investigation to the media “days before an election,” the agency’s inspector general revealed Monday. The DOJ’s Office of the Inspector General (OIG), which has been run by Michael Horowitz since 2012, launched a probe after it received a complaint alleging that a “politically motivated” disclosure related to “information about ongoing matters” was made in the runup to an unspecified election. “The OIG investigation found that three then Senior DOJ Officials violated DOJ’s Confidentiality and Media Contacts Policy by leaking to select...

President-elect Donald Trump shared a ruthless highlight reel of Democrats repeatedly praising President Biden’s mental sharpness, sharing it soon after a veteran reporter blasted those who helped hide his “obvious cognitive decline.” Trump shared the brutal supercut hours after CBS News reporter Jan Crawford ripped the media for helping to cover up the eldest-ever president’s decline until it was too obvious to ignore at the debate. The nearly three-minute-long video — set to the goofy Wii theme music — started with White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre appearing baffled that someone would even dare question Biden’s mental acuity. “Oh my...

Veteran CBS News reporter Jan Crawford dinged news organizations for not thoroughly covering President Biden’s “obvious cognitive decline” this year until it became unavoidable during his disastrous debate against Donald Trump over the summer. Crawford, the network’s chief legal correspondent, insisted stronger reporting on the topic could have changed the entire election as she responded to a question from “Face the Nation” moderator Major Garrett about the most underreported story in 2024. “Undercovered and underreported, that would be, to me, Joe Biden’s obvious cognitive decline that became undeniable in the televised debate,” she said on the Sunday morning show. She...

Once more, faithful P&E readers and students of the Constitution’s “natural born Citizen” (“nbC”) Eligibility Clause – not a concocted, fictitious “’natural born’ Citizenship Clause” – grab your preferred caffeinated beverage and find a comfortable chair, because what follows gets a bit convoluted. Ready? The “natural born Citizen” (“nbC”) issue remains unresolved, but at least the threat of yet another ineligible president at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue has been avoided through the Nov. 5, 2024 election of Donald Trump and the rejection of Kamala Harris. That fact will remain true, of course, only if before January 20, 2025 (a) the slug...

BREAKING: Georgia Special Counsel Nathan Wade admits to collaborating with the Biden White House during prosecution against Donald Trump.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Tuesday that Kamala Harris's loss in the U.S. presidential election was a setback for women's progress — and cited several recent incidents that he said suggest women's rights are under attack by "regressive" and "reactionary" political forces. In an address to an Ottawa gala for Equal Voice, an organization that works to get more women elected to public office, Trudeau said politicians who are hostile to women's rights — particularly a woman's right to choose abortion — are "winning too often, unfortunately." He said feminists like himself have to be "lucid" about the challenges ahead....

WASHINGTON — Special counsel Jack Smith has filed a motion to drop all four felony charges against President-elect Donald Trump in connection with his effort to overturn his 2020 presidential election in the lead-up to the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the U.S Capitol. Trump was first indicted on four felonies in August 2023: conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding and conspiracy against rights. The case was then put on hold for months as Trump’s team argued that Trump could not be prosecuted.

WASHINGTON — House Republicans are demanding more information from the FBI about its use of “software tools” to seek out election-related speech on social media after a bureau analyst mentioned their use during a recent deposition — before being barred from saying any more by FBI lawyers. House Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) told FBI Director Christopher Wray Tuesday to hand over the information as President-elect Donald Trump’s looming return to office creates uncertainty for Wray’s future employment. “In a transcribed interview… on October 23, 2024, an FBI Criminal Investigative Division Analyst previously assigned to the [Foreign Influence Task...

Article III Project founder Mike Davis talked to Real America's Voice host Steve Bannon about government weaponization and the need to ensure it never happens again at the Department of Justice. STEVE BANNON, HOST: And Mike, here's where I want to start. I don't think we even have any clips because the mainstream media does not want to report this at all. And that is not about your controversy between you and the Attorney General of New York. We'll get to that maybe towards the end. Jim Jordan today sent Jack Smith a preserve your documents letter in fact of...

Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan will rule on whether to toss President-elect Donald Trump’s felony conviction relating to hush-money payments to adult star Stormy Daniels. Trump’s impending decision will affect legal standing as he prepares to return to the White House. The judge, who had postponed Trump’s sentencing until after the 2024 election, has until Tuesday to determine if the conviction should stand. The decision comes after Trump’s legal team argued he should be shielded from specific legal proceedings under constitutional protections. CNN’s chief legal affairs correspondent, Paula Reid, said Trump’s attorneys want the sentencing tossed together. “They’re going...

JUST IN: MSNBC host Joy Reid says the media has "said all they can" to help Kamala Harris before doing a whole segment on how Trump is like Hitler & Mussolini. The propagandist compared Trump to every historical dictator she could think of in the bizarre meltdown. "We begin our final sprint having arrived at that point in the election season where basically we, on this side of the TV screen have said, all we can, we've laid out the stakes in this crucial election where one side stands for freedom while the other meets the textbook definition of fascism."...

CV NEWS FEED // In the days leading up to Election Day, YouTube limited CatholicVote’s new ad campaign showing Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris posing with a well-known member of the drag troupe the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence (SPI), an anti-Catholic hate group. Google, YouTube’s parent company, claimed the ad buy violated its “Improper Content” policy, which restricts the scope of content deemed “suggestive or inappropriate.” The ad debuted a week ago. As CatholicVote previously noted, its 30-second ad shows “a montage of multiple clips of SPI members dressed in lewd costumes mocking nuns and performing sexually suggestive dances on...
