  • NBA And Adam Silver Silent On WNBA Banning OutKick From Covering Brittney Griner Games

    Outkick ^ | June 6, 2025 | Bobby Burack
    The WNBA continues to deny OutKick a credential to cover Atlanta Dream games. The team and league claim they can't accommodate our requests due to "very limited space." We appreciate the emphasis on "very." Still, no one actually believes the WNBA can't find the "space" for us to cover a regular-season game involving the Dream and Connecticut Sun. WNBA games in June are hardly the Super Bowl, where reporters from all across the country clamor for access. In fact, the Sun granted several media credentials to OutKick last year, including a playoff game featuring the Indiana Fever and Caitlin Clark....
  • Trump can bar AP from some White House events for now, US appeals court says

    President Donald Trump is free to bar the Associated Press from some White House media events for now, after a U.S. appeals court on Friday paused a lower court ruling mandating that AP journalists be given access. The divided ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit temporarily blocks an order by U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden, who ruled on April 8 that the Trump administration must allow AP journalists access to the Oval Office, Air Force One and White House events while the news agency's lawsuit moves forward.

    A Massachusetts high school student who was arrested by immigration agents on his way to volleyball practice has been released from custody after a judge granted him bond Thursday. ...“While ICE officers never intended to apprehend Gomes da Silva, he was found to be in the United States illegally and subject to removal proceedings, so officers made the arrest,” [ U.S. Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin] said in a statement.
  • Nolte: Media Fail — Trump Tops Obama’s Job Approval Rating

    Breitbart ^ | 06/04/2025 | John Nolte
    More voters approve of the job President Trump is doing than approved of the job former President Barry Obama was doing on this same day during Barry’s second term. How do you like those apples-to-apples? On this same day during his own second term (June 4, 2013), Obama’s average job approval rating was 47.1 percent. Today, exactly 12 years later, during Trump’s second term, The Donald enjoys an average approval rating of 47.5 percent. Trump is also scoring better than former President George W. Bush did on this same day during Bush’s second term (June 4, 2005), 45.9 percent for...
  • The Media’s Catch-22: Exposing Joe Biden Would Have Assured Trump’s Re-election

    American Thinker ^ | June 3, 2025 | Steve McCann
    The legacy media finds itself in a dilemma of its own making. The depth and seriousness of Joe Biden’s mental and physical problems during his presidency are being exposed daily—ironically, much of it by the denizens of the legacy media as they feverishly attempt to absolve their culpability in keeping the American people in the dark about Biden’s unfolding mental and physical infirmities as well as what was really happening in the Oval Office. The net result of this disingenuous mea culpa will accelerate the already record downward spiral in the citizenry’s trust in the media.During the 2020 campaign, it...

    The massacre hoax and attacks on aid to Gaza expose the media’s true agenda. When Israel kills Hamas terrorists, that’s “controversial”. When Israel insists on existing, that’s not only controversial, it’s very nearly provocative, and even when Israel hands out food to its worst enemies who raped and murdered its citizens, and held its children hostage, that’s also… “controversial”. “Controversial” is the word that the United Nations, the political establishments of multiple countries and the media would like the public to associate with Israel bringing aid into Gaza. After UN lies about a famine in Gaza no matter how much...

    CNN ^ | June 6, 2025 | Kristen Holmes and Samantha Waldenberg
    Elon Musk on Tuesday lashed out at President Donald Trump’s agenda bill — which the president is pressuring GOP senators to support — calling it a “disgusting abomination.” “I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination,” the tech billionaire posted on X. “Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.” He added in a subsequent post: “Congress is making America bankrupt.” This is not the first time Musk has attacked the bill. In an interview after the package was passed by...

    Veteran broadcaster Chuck Todd, who left NBC News and launched a solo podcast earlier this year, said in an interview this weekend that someone slashed his car’s tires after President Trump criticized him during Trump’s previous White House stint. “There was direct correlation, right? He’d call your name out, [and] you’d get weird phone calls, you’d get weird death threats,” Todd said in the interview Saturday with Times Radio, a British station owned by conservative media mogul Rupert Murdoch. “I got my tires slashed in front of my house.” Todd told Times Radio host Maddie Hale that he addressed the...

    A Romanian national pleaded guilty on Monday to charges related to his role in a “swatting” ring that targeted dozens of public officials, including a former US president. Going by the aliases “Plank,” “Jonah” and “Cypher,” 26-year-old Thomasz Szabo took part in a years-long conspiracy to place bogus 911 calls, claiming emergencies were taking place at the homes of top government officials, and make bomb threats against government buildings and houses of worship, according to Justice Department. Szabo and a co-conspirator, 21-year-old Serbian national Nemanja Radovanovic, allegedly targeted about 100 people, including members of Congress, governors, cabinet-level executive branch officials...

    Townhall ^ | June 02, 2025 | Matt Vespa |
    While CNN might be trash when it comes to covering incidents of antisemitic terrorism, they still can hide everything Democrats are doing wrong. Remember that dismal 21 percent approval numbers the party had with voters? Well, it got worse. Two new figures from CNN’s polling showed that 16 percent of Americans felt the Democrats had strong leaders. Only 19 percent said Democrats get anything done. All this party does is whine about Trump, cater to their ‘woke,’ unhinged voter sects, and go on MSNBC to repeat pre-packaged and poorly communicated talking points. ... Some of these figures are driven down...

    In Boulder, Colorado, eight elderly Jews were torched alive in a park. They wore red T-shirts bearing the names of hostages seized by Palestinian terrorists over 600 days earlier. Some carried Israeli flags. Walking peacefully in memory and solidarity, they were attacked with fire as a flamethrower and Molotov cocktails created flames as high as a tree. An 88-year-old Holocaust survivor was among the injured. The attacker, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, is reported to be an Egyptian national in the country illegally. He now faces murder charges. This third such targeted attack on American Jews in three months confirms a disturbing...

    The American Spectator ^ | June 1, 2025, 10:20 PM | David Catron
    Their book is nothing more than a ‘partial hangout’ written to disguise media lies about Biden’s decline. Now that Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson have published Original Sin, which confirms what most Americans already knew — that former President Joe Biden was cognitively unfit to carry out the duties of his office — the corporate media are attempting to deflect attention from their complicity in a dangerous cover up. The “original sin,” according to Tapper and Thompson, was Biden’s decision to run for reelection in 2024 and the dishonesty of his aides. A far more egregious sin, however, was the...

    The Post Millennial ^ | 6/2/25 | staff
    The Washington Post has said that a massive drop in fentanyl seizures at the southern border is "mysterious" and that it is a "more complex" story than one would think after President Donald Trump has made it a point to crack down on border security as well as fentanyl trafficking into the US. The outlet suggested that the Trump administration's policies, such as threatening tariffs on China as well as Mexico to curb fentanyl, could have little to do with the drop in fentanyl, and claimed, "New data suggest a more complex story." This year, there has been a marked...

    Reckless and irresponsible reporting by major U.S. news outlets are contributing to the antisemitic climate that has resulted in the murder of two young people at an Israeli Embassy event in Washington last month and the attempted murder and terror attack on a group of pro-Israel demonstrators in Colorado on Sunday. Without verification of any source other than Hamas and its collaborators, the New York Times, CNN, and Associated Press reported that a number of people seeking to receive humanitarian food boxes from the Gaza Humanitarian Fund were shot or killed by the Israeli Defense Forces. These reports were FALSE....

    DAVID BROOKS, NEW YORK TIMES: Yes, I'm not sure it was wreckage. There was wreckage if you're at NIH. There are wreckage at certain agencies, but the guy only saved $65 billion out of a multitrillion-dollar budget. So, as a budget matter, you would not say he had a big effect, but he did manage to destroy NIH and USAID. And the USAID one is the one I haven't gotten over. And so there's folks at Boston University who count, how many people have died because of what DOGE did at USAID? And USAID was a very ill-managed organization. That's...

    In a bid to tout his book Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again, CNN's Jake Tapper agreed to be interviewed on "Piers Morgan: Uncensored." In his book, Tapper attempted to contrast the Biden cover-up to former President Richard Nixon's Watergate scandal to imply that Watergate was worse. Morgan asserted "I am not entirely sure I agree with that conclusion. Nixon was not non compos mentis. He had some notable accomplishments like achieving detente with Russia, establishing diplomatic relations with China, and abolishing the military draft. His effort to spy on the Democrats...

    President Trump offered some hilarious “marital advice” for French President Emmanuel Macron after the latter’s humiliating incident earlier this week. As The Gateway Pundit reported, Macron was publicly humiliated as he arrived for a state visit to Vietnam. As the airplane door was opened, the whole world could see his controversial wife, Brigitte, smacking him in the face. Macron took a look and saw that he was being filmed, so he smiled and pretended nothing had happened. But as the power couple descended the plane’s stairs, Brigitte refused to hold his hand, leaving the French President with a tense face...
