    The revamped leadership of CBS News, following the merger between Paramount and Skydance, has elevated a conservative journalist who has upset the legacy media with her own successful center-right career. Bari Weiss, founder of The Free Press, will take the reins at CBS News in the coming days, say sources familiar with her selection. Her upstart news site, which has defied the trend of declining subscriptions across the industry, will also be acquired. Weiss, a 41-year-old former opinion writer for the New York Times, built The Free Press out of her own volition back in early 2021, riding a growing...
  • Nolte: Victory! Trust in Mass Media Plummets to Another All-time Low

    10/03/2025 12:20:57 AM PDT · by Tench_Coxe · 17 replies
    The American people have woken up to the dangerous and hateful fraud that is the legacy media. According to Gallup, which has measured trust in mass media for 50 years, that trust just hit another record low.Only 28 percent trust the corporate media. (snip) Then there was 2004’s Rathergate—that glorious scandal that exposed CBS News, 60 Minutes, and Dan Rather as hoaxsters and fraudsters, as Democrat Party pimps willing to do anything to destroy a Republican president in the middle of a tight reelection campaign. Everyday people online quickly proved that the documents CBS produced to prove George W. Bush...

    Legacy media have spent years perpetuating some of the biggest hoaxes in modern history — and it appears the American public is continuing to notice.On Thursday, Gallup released the results of its annual survey of Americans’ confidence in media. The poll’s baseline finding is that trust in the country’s “Democracy dies in darkness!” crowd is at the lowest point ever recorded.According to the survey, just 28 percent of Americans expressed having a “‘great deal’ or ‘fair amount’ of trust in newspapers, television and radio to report the news fully, accurately and fairly.” That figure, Gallup noted, “is down from 31%...

    A notice calls the people the U.S. military recently killed on suspicion of drug smuggling in the Caribbean Sea “unlawful combatants.”President Trump has decided that the United States is engaged in a formal “armed conflict” with drug cartels his team has labeled terrorist organizations and that suspected smugglers for such groups are “unlawful combatants,” the administration said in a confidential notice to Congress this week. The notice was sent to several congressional committees and obtained by The New York Times. It adds new detail to the administration’s thinly articulated legal rationale for why three U.S. military strikes the president ordered...

    Every so often the media rolls its sleeves up and tries to once again get us all to eat gross, filthy bugs instead of delicious, healthy, clean meat. CBS ran this segment over the weekend arguing we should eat bugs because soybean farming is bad for the planet or something 🥴 Sadly, 2025 is no exception, with NPR once again making a bid to have us eat literal larva: In markets in the capital Kinshasa, tubs full of writhing white maggots line the alleyways, and women traders fry caterpillars, spiced with chili, over charcoal fires. "The more you eat caterpillars,...

    The Palm Beach Post published an opinion piece on September 18, 2025. While the Post says the article is only the authors’ opinion, this correspondent could not find any mention of who the authors were.The authors show they lack significant information about open carry. A couple of years ago, as of 2022, only four states prohibited the general open carry of modern handguns. They were California, Florida, Illinois, and New York. As the divide between the states following Supreme Court decisions on the Second Amendment widened after the Bruen decision in 2022, New Jersey made it illegal to open carry...

    The Associated Press ^ | September 27, 2025 | BY NICHOLAS RICCARDI
    In 2007, eight years after becoming Venezuela’s president, Hugo Chávez revoked the license of the country’s oldest private television station. Eight months into his second term, President Donald Trump suggested revoking the licenses of U.S. television stations he believes are overly critical of him. Since he returned to office in January, Trump’s remaking of the federal government into an instrument of his personal will has drawn comparisons to elected strongmen in other countries who used the levers of government to consolidate power, punish their enemies and stifle dissent. But those familiar with other countries where that has happened, including Hungary...

    Well, that was fast.Just three days after Democrats and the media made a huge deal about Jimmy Kimmel’s big comeback, his ratings have utterly evaporated. Since the beginning of this week when he returned to the air, his ratings have dropped by 70 percent. It looks like his much-hyped return was little more than hype. A sugar-high lasts longer than this.

    Oracle founder Larry Ellison keeps piling up wins. After briefly overtaking Tesla's Elon Musk as the world's richest person this month, the 81-year-old tech billionaire secured a spot among the U.S.-backed buyer group poised to take over TikTok. This announcement comes on the heels of the Ellison's son, David, overseeing a successful August merger between his Skydance Media production company and Paramount Global, which also owns CBS, and which the elder Ellison has a financial stake. The younger Ellison is also said to be working on a bid for Warner Bros. Discovery, the parent company of CNN and HBO. Antitrust...

    Last night at at TPUSA event featuring Megyn Kelly, who was supposed to be accompanied by the late Charlie Kirk, a student said Trump contributes to the rhetoric that got Charlie killed. He cited a study that indicates much more of the political violence in America is motivated by right-wing ideology. The truth is that this study cherry-picks a timeframe that gets the author where she wanted to go. Also, thanks to social media and how it has so fundamentally reshaped the media power dynamic in this country, much of this study is simply antiquated. In short, social media has...

    On CNN This Morning, former Obama DHS official and CNN analyst Juliette Kayyem tried to claim that Dallas ICE shooter Joshua Jahn couldn't have had any leftist political connections. Her evidence: that he got the message on a bullet wrong: "In this case, you see someone who didn't seem at all involved with ICE or anti-ICE testament [sentiment?]. In fact, on his casing, he says 'Anti-ICE', which isn't even the language of the politics of our time, which tends to be 'Abolish ICE'." Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

    Would-be Trump assassin Ryan Routh was declared guilty on Tuesday on all charges, but The New York Times accidentally published the wrong article. In journalism, outlets often pre-write obituaries, election outcomes and potential court verdicts of major cases before they occur, using the basic facts of the story and adding whatever key details are essential on the day of. However, a screenshot indicated that the New York Times accidentally published a headline, “Man Found Not Guilty of Trying to Assassinate Trump in Florida.” The lede of the now-scrubbed article added, “In a surprise verdict, a federal jury acquitted Ryan Routh...

    The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is setting the record straight after NBC News attempted to once again smear ICE as the agency continues its work enforcing our immigration laws. Earlier today, NBC News reported that ICE used a five-year-old autistic girl as "bait" to capture her illegal immigrant father. ICE agents held a 5-year-old autistic girl outside her Massachusetts home to pressure her father to surrender to authorities last week, according to the girl's family. https://t.co/bJrhpL1xeI— NBC News (@NBCNews) September 23, 2025Here's more:Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents held a 5-year-old autistic girl outside her Massachusetts home to pressure her...

    Phoenix New Times ^ | September 22, 2025 | Stephen Lemons
    The line between church and state was nowhere to be found at Sunday's service, which drew masses of Charlie Kirk followers. A capacity crowd filled Glendale’s State Farm Stadium on Sunday, with thousands of people shut out of the 63,000-seat venue and directed to overflow seating at the nearby Desert Diamond Arena. Then, in both venues, they sat through a more than five-hour marathon of unapologetic Christian nationalism in honor of Charlie Kirk, the Arizona-based right-wing activist who was murdered on Sept. 10 at a college event in Utah. Christian nationalism is both a political and religious ideology that seeks...

What happened? Were graphic videos of his injuries real? Which facts could we confirm without reporters on the scene yet?At 3:01 p.m., we published confirmation of the shooting, and a new round of judgment calls began: Would we show clips of Kirk’s shooting? What words and shorthand would we use for him in headlines — a “right-wing...

    There's a Mormon character in one of ABC's new fall series. And viewers will learn this when they see him wearing nothing but his temple garments. That's just one of the reasons that members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints may not be particularly pleased with that character in the pilot of "Quantico," which is scheduled to premiere on Sunday, Sept. 27, at 9 p.m. on ABC/Ch. 4. The series is about a bunch of new recruits who arrive at the FBI training base in Quantico, Va., for training.

    A major Jewish group is gathering signatures for a petition against ABC to cancel the series Quantico, amid allegations of anti-Israel and antisemitic content. The Zionist Organization of America has been protesting what it considers the “blatant, vicious defamation of Jews, Israel and the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), promoting ugly lies against the Jewish people and the Jewish state” on the TV thriller about a group of FBI recruits training to become special agents. In a statement released on Friday, ZOA President Morton A. Klein and Director of Special Projects Liz Berney referred to a previous complaint they had lodged...

    Disney’s Bob Iger and Dana Walden wanted to know how Kimmel was going to address the situation. Sources say he planned to defend what he said rather than "kowtowing” to the outrage. Disney thought that would fan the flames. On Wednesday, Disney caved to pressure from various partners and benched Jimmy Kimmel Live! Ultimately, the decision was Bob Iger’s and Dana Walden’s — but there was more leading up to it than previously reported. On Monday’s episode of his long-running ABC late night talk show, Jimmy Kimmel mocked MAGA Republicans for scrambling to distance their own ideologies from those of...
