Scott Jennings GOES OFF on CNN panel after they blame the RIGHT-WING for a lack of trust in media and call new media "freaks." JENNINGS: "What the right wing is taking advantage of is finally the American people saying enough is enough. They're tired of feeling like the mass media screens out one viewpoint versus another in political coverage. They're tired of media institutions favoring one party over another. They're tired of narratives over factual stories. If I had any advice for 60 Minutes or anybody else, it would be: just cover the news and try to be fair about...

According to the Migration Policy Institute and ACLU, approximately 75% of deportations under the Obama administration (2009–2017) were nonjudicial removals, meaning they bypassed immigration court hearings and judicial oversight. In FY 2012 alone, 313,000 nonjudicial removals occurred, compared to 1,400 in 1995. These removals often involved "expedited removal" or "administrative removal," where Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents, such as Border Patrol or ICE officers, made decisions without involving an immigration judge. Did you hear one word about this from the media?

The Times’ Adam Goldman is a paid shill for the world’s worst people, not a reporter.The New York Times continues to cover up government corruption, on April 11 hitting FBI Director Kash Patel for suspending analyst Brian Auten nearly a decade after Auten helped Democrats frame Donald Trump as a Russian asset. The NYT headline reads, “F.B.I. Suspends Employee on Patel’s So-Called Enemies List,” not something accurate such as “FBI Suspends Employee Who Illegally Abused Government Power To Protect Democrat Presidential Candidates.”Predictably, other corporate media outlets took the same corrupt angle, notably an April 12 NBC article by “Fusion Ken”...

CNN anchor Dana Bash cut away from President Donald Trump’s Oval Office remarks on Monday to protest his claim that CNN “hates our country.” Trump made the comment during an Oval Office meeting with Salvadorian President Nayib Bukele, jabbing at the network over coverage of illegal immigration, particularly at the southern border, and saying that CNN “didn’t like putting out good numbers” that reflected well on his presidency. “We’re a great country, but we had stupid people running this country. And I can say what they’ve done to us at the border should never and can never be forgotten. It’s...

President Donald Trump bitterly attacked "60 Minutes" shortly after the CBS newsmagazine broadcast stories on Ukraine and Greenland Sunday, saying the network is out of control and should "pay a big price" — specificying that 'they should lose their license" — for going after him. "Almost every week, 60 Minutes ... mentions the name 'TRUMP' in a derogatory and defamatory way, but this Weekend's 'BROADCAST' tops them all," the president said on his Truth Social platform. He called on Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr to impose maximum fines and punishment "for their unlawful and illegal behavior." The network had...

Former National Security Agency Director Mike Rogers told FBI agents that the crux of a Pulitzer Prize award-winning Washington Post story on the Russian collusion hoax was “wrong," according to newly declassified documents obtained by Just the News. Admiral Rogers, who retired in 2018 after four years as National Security Agency chief and commander of U.S. Cyber Command, spoke with FBI agents and a key member of special counsel Robert Mueller’s team in June 2017, where he threw cold water on a May 2017 story by the Post titled, “Trump asked intelligence chiefs to push back against FBI collusion probe...

It’s apparently Opposite Day. A leftist economic think tank funded by George Soros is crying that the media lied about President Joe Biden’s economy … by trying to convince everyone that it was bad. What is this, the Twilight Zone? Center for Economic and Policy research co-founder Dean Baker put out a nutty blog March 25 headlined, “Yes, the Media Lied About the Pre-Election Economy.” At first glance we would agree with that, but digging into the finer details reveals that Baker wasn’t referencing how much leftist media outlets simped for Bidenomics to the point of beclowning themselves into a...

Despite years of flip flopping on their own reports, National Public Radio (NPR) CEO Katherine Maher told Congressional lawmakers Wednesday — without hesitation — that the outlet is a “nonpartisan organization” free from political bias. Maher testified before the House Oversight Subcommittee regarding NPR’s government funding, working alongside the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to address wasteful spending. When pressed by Republican Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan on whether she believed the outlet was biased, Maher denied ever seeing political bias influence editorial decisions, insisting NPR has remained “nonpartisan.”...... 1.

Cackles rang out on Capitol Hill Wednesday as NPR's CEO argued her newsroom isn't biased. The response was seen during Katherine Maher's congressional testimony Wednesday, where NPR is facing losing its federal funding. Presiding over the matter is Georgia firebrand Marjorie Taylor Greene, but it was a back-and-forth between Maher and Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan that elicited the laugh.

When I was starting out as a Chicago City Hall reporter for that big metropolitan paper—when we could smoke in newsrooms on deadline, curse, tell jokes, laugh and wore jackets and ties to work—I had one rule. I’d often discuss this rule with my political sources, elected officials, cops, city workers and others: Lie to me just once, just once, and I’ll burn you to the ground. It wasn’t an empty threat. Chicago politics wasn’t a cloistered convent. It was and remains a place of thieves protected by the laws and regulations that they themselves controlled. It is a Democrat...

When the media omit the facts that matter most, it’s clear that they are more interested in undermining the Trump administration than informing the public about threats America faces.. The propaganda press continues to play fast and loose with the truth, and nowhere is that more apparent than in their coverage of the Trump administration’s efforts to detain yet another terrorist sympathizer living in the United States. This time, it’s Badar Khan Suri, a man with ties to a senior Hamas official — but you wouldn’t necessarily glean that from the deliberately misleading headlines and articles. “Trump is seeking to...

The White House went on to document $8 million in federal spending on transgender mice. One of President Donald Trump's more astounding claims during his address to a joint session of Congress Tuesday night ended with egg on the face of "Fake News losers" at CNN when they tried to fact-check him. "$8 million to promote LGBTQI+ in the African nation of Lesotho, which nobody has ever heard of," he said during the address. "$60 million for indigenous peoples and Afro-Colombian empowerment in central America, $60 million. $8 million for making mice transgender. This is real!" CNN reporters initially said...

The Trump administration on Tuesday stripped the White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) of the power to determine which outlets can participate in the White House press pool. The association's leader, Eugene Daniels, Politico correspondent and soon-to-be MSNBC host, is known as a "Kamala Harris expert" who once asked the former vice president whether Donald Trump and J.D. Vance's campaign rhetoric stemmed from "irredeemable racism."

It's a wonder all of them parrot the same news.

UK lawmaker calls for inquiry into national broadcaster over contentious documentary featuring senior Hamas official's son

CNN - President Donald Trump keeps lying not only about the 2020 election he lost but the 2024 election he won. In a Saturday speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference, Trump correctly noted that he earned 77 million votes in 2024 — then falsely said his vote total was “actually much more than that,” since unspecified people “cheated like hell.” There’s no basis for this claim. Trump’s official vote total is his actual vote total, and there is no evidence of unsuccessful cheating by vote counters or by his Democratic foes. Trump made various other false claims at CPAC,...

A new YouGov survey finds that Americans’ trust in the media to state the facts fully, accurately, and fairly is low: Only 29% say they have a fair amount or a great deal of trust. More (44%) have at least a fair amount of trust in Donald Trump’s administration to state facts fully, accurately and fairly. The survey also found that Americans are more likely to see the media’s coverage of Trump as too negative than to see it as too positive. Around four in 10 believe the media wants Trump to fail.

The fiery hosts at ABC News’ “The View” have faced pressure to dial back their anti-President Trump rhetoric – leading to tension in front of the cameras, The Post has learned. While behind the scenes, “morale is low” among staffers after layoffs and unpopular cost-cutting moves, multiple sources told The Post. One source close to the show’s co-hosts — Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin and Ana Navarro — said the fear and loathing is partly because Brian Teta, executive producer of the daytime gab-fest, spoke to staffers about “going easy” on Trump-related commentary in...

The establishment media’s grip on public opinion is under threat after the Trump administration launched a large-scale investigation of the industry. The administration’s initiative comes as Americans’ trust in the establishment media to report current events “fully, accurately and fairly” plummeted to a record low in 2024
