If there’s one person who understands the struggle that came with the job of Adrian Wojnarowski, it’s fellow ESPN insider Adam Schefter. Wojnarowski shockingly announced he was retiring from ESPN as the outlet’s lead NBA insider on Wednesday morning to become the general manager of the St. Bonaventure men’s basketball program. As part of his announcement, Wojnarowski said that he was “no longer driven” to make the investment in his role that he needed to and that he wanted to spend his time “in ways that are more personally meaningful.” Adrian Wojnarowski shocked the NBA world on Wednesday when he...

“President Trump, as you know, the FBI says overall violent crime is coming down in this country.” That was ABC News’ David Muir “fact checking” Donald Trump during his debate with Kamala Harris. Two days later, the Bureau of Justice Statistics released the results of its national crime victimization survey, which showed that the number of victims of violent crime was 41% higher in 2023 than in 2020.There were almost 170,000 more rapes, 300,000 more robberies, 1.4 million more assaults, 300,000 more claims of domestic violence, and almost 400,000 more crimes with a violent weapon. *** And in January, the...

Ratings for ABC’s “World News Tonight” fell by over 10% since the Sept. 10 debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris hosted by ABC News hosts David Muir and Linsey Davis. The Disney-owned network’s broadcast news program hosted by Muir that airs at 6:30 p.m. EDT drew an average of 7.6 million viewers before the September 10 debate, but only drew an average of 6.7 million viewers in the three days after the debate, according to Fox News. Muir and Davis, who hosts the program on weekends, were criticized for making so-called “fact checks” on Trump...

A purported ABC staffer claims the network agreed to requests the Harris campaign made, including not mentioning Biden’s health. The network says no ethical lines were crossed. ABC News has again insisted that no topics or questions were shared with either Vice President Kamala Harris or Donald Trump, and their respective campaigns, in advance of last week’s presidential debate. The network’s statement came after it declined to directly address allegations—made in an allegedly sworn statement, purportedly by one of its staff—that it helped Harris in the debate.

NewsNation anchor Chris Cuomo on Monday called out media outlets and “political players” who have downplayed the assassination attempts against former President Donald Trump. Cuomo’s reality check came during his impassioned opening monologue on his eponymously-named show, Cuomo. He said he is bothered by the “reaction and lack of reaction to the second attempt on Trump in the last couple of months” and called out those who say the suspected would-be assassin, Ryan Wesley Routh, “didn’t even shoot.” “What if it was your father?” Cuomo asked. “Or what if it was Kamala Harris or President Biden, God forbid? [Do] you...

VIDEOImagine knowing that you are about to be exposed for being involved in the biggest network news scandal of all time? Could that be why ABC News anchor David Muir suddenly appears to be very very nervous? Every time anyone now watches Muir they can't help but think about his pledge at the beginning of the September 10 debate that "No topics or questions have been shared with the campaigns." The good news for David Muir is that his extreme on air anxiety may soon be relieved by being relieved of his job thanks to the ABC Whistleblower. More significantly,...

MSNBC reporter Maggie Vespa was confronted by independent journalist Nick Sortor over the network’s divisive rhetoric blaming former President Donald Trump for the recent assassination attempt on his life. The confrontation intensified when Vespa tried to evade Sortor, as another individual stepped in to intervene. Later, she called the police, seeking Sortor’s arrest for calling her out.

As the U.S. ramped up its efforts to ban and block Russian state media network RT globally, sources tell The Hindu that U.S. officials have spoken to the Ministry of External Affairs about joining their actions against what they call “Russian disinformation”, by revoking accreditations and designating their journalists under the “Foreign Missions Act”. However, while the Ministry has been silent on the issue, government officials said that the debate on sanctions is not relevant to India, while a former diplomat said that banning media organisations showed “double standards” by Western countries. On Friday (September 13, 2024), U.S. Secretary of...

In a bold move that sent shockwaves through both the sports and political worlds, the Miami Heat found themselves at the center of a national controversy when they released a passionate statement aimed directly at Donald Trump and his allies

Last year I was working on an article about foreign fighters and volunteers in Ukraine... Among the people I interviewed: Ryan Wesley Routh, the 58-year-old man whom the F.B.I. is investigating in what it is calling an assassination attempt... Mr. Routh, who had spent some time in Ukraine trying to raise support for the war, was seeking recruits from among Afghan soldiers who fled the Taliban... There were a few complications. Mr. Routh, a former construction worker from Greensboro, N. C., said he never fought in Ukraine himself — he was too old and had no military experience. *** When...

Of all the media's spinning on the second assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump, the most atrocious examples to emerge so far may be from NBC News.Last night, the outlet described the latest attempt to assassinate the 2024 Republican presidential nominee as the "Trump golf club incident." As of Monday morning, the NBC News article on alleged would-be assassin Ryan Routh's arrest remains the site's top trending story.Why is NBC News describing a second assassination attempt against President Trump as a “golf club incident” ???? pic.twitter.com/RnGWWp5nqM— Abigail Jackson 🇺🇸 (@abigailmarone) September 16, 2024Matt covered how NBC News host Lester...

Former President Donald Trump said Monday that the man who allegedly tried to assassinate him as he golfed Sunday was motivated by the “rhetoric” of President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. “He believed the rhetoric of Biden and Harris, and he acted on it,” the Republican presidential nominee, 78, told Fox News. “Their rhetoric is causing me to be shot at, when I am the one who is going to save the country, and they are the ones that are destroying the country — both from the inside and out.” Trump cited suspect Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, using near-identical...

In recent days, calls for an investigation into ABC’s moderation of last week’s presidential debate have reached a fever pitch, with many questioning the glaring bias displayed during the event. The moderators repeatedly fact-checked Donald Trump while allowing Kamala Harris to peddle unchecked lies and propaganda. Senator Roger Marshall (R-KS) revealed on Friday that a Senate investigation into ABC News and Kamala Harris’s campaign is underway. Marshall suspects collusion between ABC and the Harris team, citing Kamala’s unusually prepared responses as evidence that she knew the questions ahead of time. Former Clinton advisor Mark Penn also joined the fray, calling...

Every now and then the question gets asked, "if you had a time machine, where would you go?"Aside from the money-making responses of looking up lottery numbers or the biggest winners in the stock market, one of the top responses always involves Hitler. Most would kill him as a blight on history.Given that Trump has been labeled as someone worse than Hitler, a terrorist, and a threat to democracy itself, is it any wonder that the average Democrat considers killing Trump their civic duty?The Democrats and their propaganda arm, the MSM, know what they are doing. Even after this latest...

The near-nonstop comparing of Donald Trump, a former president of the United States, to Adolf Hitler has almost become a mainstream media cliche. So should anyone really be shocked someone else has again decided that Trump should take a bullet, just nine weeks after he was shot in the ear? The answer, of course, is no. When the news came that another “assassination attempt” possibly had taken place against Trump, this time as he unwound from his hectic campaign schedule with a round of golf in Florida, it was disappointing to say the least. Not a lot was known about...

Late last week, there was word that an ABC News whistleblower was set to expose both the network and the Kamala Harris presidential campaign for allegedly rigging the network's Sept. 10th debate in the Democrat nominee's favor and against former President Donald Trump. The information that they said would be revealed was that Harris was given advance notice on what questions would be asked, and that Trump would be fact-checked live. Now, the whistleblower has released a sworn, notarized statement, which is dated Sept. 9, 2024--the day before the debate. They say the Kamala Harris campaign allegedly "restricted the scope"...

NBC News anchor Lester Holt was quick to blame former President Donald Trump — along with his running mate, Senator JD Vance (R-OH) — for the heated campaign rhetoric that he ultimately linked to what appears to be a second assassination attempt on Trump’s life. Holt suggested — just hours after United States Secret Service agents stopped the second would-be Trump assassin in eight weeks — that comments from both Trump and Vance about the impact of a massive influx of Haitian migrants on a small Ohio town had led not only to that but to threats against hospitals and...

Senator Roger Marshall (R-KS) suggested on Friday that a Senate Investigation into ABC News and Kamala Harris’ campaign for suspected collusion in last Tuesday’s rigged presidential debate has begun. It is suspected that Kamala knew the questions in advance due to her out-of-the-ordinary, well-prepared responses. As The Gateway Pundit reported, ABC denied that Kamala Harris was given the debate questions in advance amid calls for an internal investigation into the network for debate rigging. This denial from ABC came after Former Clinton advisor Mark Penn called for a third party to perform an internal investigation into ABC News. "I think...
