    American Thinker ^ | 16 Feb, 2025 | Charlton Allen
    Nearly half a billion in taxpayer-funded media manipulation. If an obscure nonprofit received hundreds of millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars, trained thousands of journalists, influenced media outlets worldwide, and quietly scrubbed its leadership and key records from the internet—wouldn’t you want to know why? That’s precisely what’s happening with Internews Network, a so-called “independent” media organization almost entirely bankrolled by USAID since 2008. Through extensive U.S. government funding, Internews has trained journalists, produced media content, and shaped global narratives, all while supporting censorship initiatives under the guise of combating “misinformation.” Internews has been systematically erasing its public-facing disclosures. Critical information...
  • Donald Trump schools Kaitlan Collins and reminds viewers why Americans don’t trust the media anymore

    NY Post ^ | 2/14/25 | Post Editorial Board
    Lefty journos are still trying to score cheap shots against President Trump and showing why they’ve lost all public trust in the process. Take CNN’s Kaitlan Collins. A deranged Resistance freak from way back, she proved true to form when she shrilled out “Do you trust President Putin?” while Trump was talking about the prospects for peace in Ukraine. Nothing of substance. Nothing actually advancing journalism around a potentially huge world event, i.e. an end to Putin’s war. Just a cheap play for seal-claps and social-media dopamine. Collins clearly still believes it’s January 2017, when the hottest ticket in TV...

    Life for Mike Elvis Tusubira, a motorcycle taxi rider with HIV in Uganda, has been turned upside down since US President Donald Trump halted foreign aid last month. Not only does the 35-year-old fear for his own survival as he takes life-saving anti-retroviral (ARV) drugs - but he says he will have to split up from his wife as they can no longer have safe sex. His partner is HIV-negative and relies on PrEP, a medicine that reduces the risk of contracting HIV. "It means that even my marriage will end, because actually without the preventive measures, she's not going...
  • CNN: Media Elites Weigh Boycott of White House to Support AP’s Feud over ‘Gulf of America’

    Establishment media are weighing whether or not to boycott White House events to support the Associate Press’s feud with the White House press office, allowing “Breitbart … to take their places,” CNN reported Friday. Because the AP refuses to recognize the “Gulf of America” as its official name, the White House barred its reporters from covering three events in the Oval Office, causing the AP to threaten legal action.

    The Trump administration has indefinitely banned the Associated Press from the White House over the wire service's refusal to change AP style from the Gulf of Mexico to the 'Gulf of America.' Deputy chief of staff Taylor Budowich said on Friday the AP's decision 'is not just divisive, but it also exposes the Associated Press’ commitment to misinformation.' Budowich wrote: 'While their right to irresponsible and dishonest reporting is protected by the First Amendment, it does not ensure their privilege of unfettered access to limited spaces, like the Oval Office and Air Force One.'

    MSNBC ^ | February 14, 2025 | By Symone D. Sanders-Townsend
    President Donald Trump loves to take a phrase and drain it of all meaning. In his first term, he transformed the term "fake news" from describing a specific problem with a type of misinformation into an attack on any journalist he didn't like or a piece of journalism that made him look bad. Now he's doing the same to the word "lawfare," and the stakes are even higher — including, potentially, the guardrails of our democracy. Coined in 2001, "lawfare" refers to the use of courts and other legal systems to damage or delegitimize a political opponent. After Trump left...

    The veteran Obama and Biden official will serve as senior political and global affairs commentator.Rahm Emanuel, who last served as ambassador to Japan in Joe Biden’s administration, has found a media gig at CNN. The veteran politician will join the cable news outlet as senior political and global affairs commentator, the network said on Thursday. Emanuel, who grew his national stature as White House chief of staff to President Obama, served as mayor of Chicago from 2011 to 2019. The hire adds another staunch Democrat voice on global affairs to a pundit and anchor roster that is retooling in...

    Gateway Pundit ^ | Cullen Linebargar
    President Trump humiliated one of his favorite media targets during an important press conference on Thursday. As The Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson reported, Trump held his first of two press conferences at 1 pm ET today, where he discussed reciprocal tariffs during an executive order signing. He also read to reporters “some of the names that hundreds of millions and even billions of dollars have been given to.” CNN’s Kaitlan Collins decided to take the opportunity to grease a false narrative to pin Trump responsible for inflation supposedly caused by the tariffs. This comes after she and other corporate media...

    Department of Defense (DoD) contracts with the Thomson Reuters news agency to develop automated defenses against social engineering attacks were railed against Thursday by President Donald Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk. “Reuters was paid millions of dollars by the US government for ‘large scale social deception,’” Musk wrote on X. “They’re a total scam.” Many, including Musk, were in outrage at the contracts awarded to Reuters that were labeled as Active Social Engineering and Large Scale Social Deception (LSD) in DoD contracts. Trump expressed frustration on Truth Social where he demanded Reuters "GIVE BACK THE MONEY, NOW!" ​​​​​​​"Radical Left...

    Blocking reporters from covering news events at the Oval Office. Ousting journalists from their working spaces in the Pentagon. Investigating public media companies that are often the targets of conservative attacks. In the three weeks since he returned to the White House, President Donald Trump and his administration have moved beyond his usual anti-news media rhetoric to take a variety of actions that have limited some outlets’ access while hitting others with lawsuits and directives that critics say are naked attempts to bend news coverage to his will. “I don’t know if Trump himself has a ‘game plan’ per se,...

    Our media has gone from telling whoppers to fully exposing itself as a weaponized arm of the left’s globalist agenda. And no one has taken on that job with more vim and vigor than the New York Times. The truth is, the New York Times was never the so-called “newspaper of record.” That title gave them way too much credit and let them hide behind the illusion that they were some deeply respected voice of American news. It was all a lie. The truth is that was just a cover for decades of propaganda. And for a while, it worked....

    Well, well, well—looks like Revolver was right again. While other conservative outlets turned a blind eye to NewsGuard or, some even played along with their “media literacy” scam, we were out in front, boldly calling them out for exactly what they were—a tool of the regime, designed to blacklist and silence conservative media under the phony guise of fact-checking. .. So, how were we right? Well, as we speak, Microsoft, one of their biggest backers, is now scrambling to distance itself, from the fake fact-checking group. Also, this probably won’t come as a shock, but the infamous USAID was also...

    A Florida Court of Appeals on Wednesday allowed President Donald Trump's lawsuit against the Pulitzer board to continue, ruling that the president had met his burden of proof that there was actual malice and bias against him. The defamation lawsuit stems from a Pulitzer board decision to award a prize to The New York Times and The Washington Post for reporting about alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. The president also claimed he was defamed in a statement from the board, which came after Trump asked them to rescind the 2018 award. Trump filed the initial lawsuit in...
