At long last, the names contained in court documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein are being released. It’s a slow trickle, to be sure, but four long years after the arraignment and eventual death of Epstein in prison, it’s a release that’s long overdue. One reporter who no doubt vehemently agrees with this sentiment is reporter Amy Robach, who said she had the story a full three years before Epstein’s death, only for her employer at the time, ABC News, to, in her words, “quash” the whole thing. This information comes from a leaked video of Robach’s comments...

The Associated Press’s latest foreign donor wants to transform journalists into "community activists on climate change." The AP doesn’t seem interested in publicizing that. It’s the latest left-wing charity to fund the Associated Press, which says it is read by four billion people each day. Philanthropies that support packing the Supreme Court, defunding the police, and other left-wing initiatives have contributed millions of dollars to the AP in recent years, the Free Beacon reported. While the AP says it maintains editorial independence from its deep-pocketed donors, its climate reporting reflects many of the KR Foundation’s core beliefs. A recent AP...

This NBC News article is not an opinion piece so far as I can tell. Titled “5 twists that could upend Democrats’ best-laid plans for the 2024 election,” it’s intended to be a combination of prognostication and analysis, but the framing of the piece is clearly one-sided. It might as well be headlined ‘How Democrats Could Lose’ which sort of implies that Democrats aren’t supposed to lose. The natural order is for them to win. As a matter of setting up this concept, the article opens with what Democrats expect to happen:Recognizing the stakes, and appreciative of strong economic growth...

CNN’s first shot after the ball drop appears to be an interracial gay kiss And not just a quick one

CNN national security analyst Juliette Kayyem said Tuesday on “News Central” that former President Donald Trump is using the “threat of violence” to rally the support of his people. Kayyem said, “It’s about to be 2024. We are running into an election period in which violence and the threat of violence are sort of viewed as an extension of our normal democratic differences. This is one of the successes of what Donald Trump has been able to do, is to sort of be kind of casual about violence.” She continued, “There’s two things. I don’t know how to say it...

On Christmas Eve, The New York Times published an opinion essay from mayor of Gaza Yahya R. Sarraj. Writing from Gaza City, Sarraj condemns Israel's battle against the Palestinian terror group that appointed him mayor in 2019. He details the former glory of Gaza City, and laments its destruction under the same terror group that he has been faithfully serving for four years.

The Washington Post in an outrageous article: "The displacement of the largest population in the region since 1948." One of the most important newspapers in the world published a comprehensive article about the human tragedy in the Gaza Strip, but received a lot of criticism • Many criticized the text chosen, with great historical inaccuracy • For comparison, in the wars in Syria, Yemen and Afghanistan a much larger population was displaced • The article completely ignores the use Hamas's cynicism towards the civilian population, and the events of the October 7 massacre.

Time magazine barely matters any more, but on Monday they did notice something other liberal outlets are aggressively ignoring: "What to Know About Washington’s Scandal Over Sex in a Senate Hearing Room."Singapore-based reporter Chad DeGuzman sent a not-so-subtle signal to readers (and the rest of the liberal media) that any curiosity about this film clip of a former aide to Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.) naked in the Hart Senate Office Building should be dismissed as a sordid tale being promoted by "right-wing media."If you raise questions about Senate staffer Aidan Maese-Czeropski or who else was involved, you can be written...

Donald Trump’s rhetoric dropped to a spine-tingling new low this weekend with less than a month before the Iowa caucuses.The GOP primary front-runner said migrants are “poisoning the blood” of the US and quoted Russian President Vladimir Putin about the “rottenness” of American democracy.Whipping up thousands of supporters at a New Hampshire hockey rink on Saturday, the former president again drew comparisons to the language of Nazi Germany with the comments about migrants from mostly Africa, Asia and South America “poisoning the blood of our country.”The language “parrots Adolf Hitler,” President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign alleged. Experts pointed to passages...

Internet traffic cop NewsGuard has gotten worse. A new MRC Free Speech America analysis shows the notorious leftist media ratings organization is more biased against the right than ever before. MRC Free Speech America investigated NewsGuard for a third year in a row, finding that its 0/100 ratings scale has once again overwhelmingly favored left-leaning outlets over right-leaning ones. “NewsGuard is just another leftist group trying to censor conservatives,” said MRC President Brent Bozell. “We have the proof.” Using the media list provided by AllSides that classifies publications based on their “right” to “left” bias, MRC researchers determined that NewsGuard...

Half a century ago, George Orwell, writing on literary censorship, wrote that “unpopular ideas can be silenced, and inconvenient facts kept dark, without the need for any official ban.” That dynamic now broadly extends to an opaque network of government agencies and self-proclaimed anti-misinformation groups that have repressed online speech. There’s no official ban on discussing the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines or criticizing American involvement in the Ukraine-Russia war, but editors and journalists have realized that writing on such topics can come at a cost. News publishers have been demonetized and shadow-banned for reporting dissenting views and the bureaucratic means...

The Biden administration could not get around the First Amendment in silencing dissent, but it has effectively found a way through the State Department paying NewsGuard to defund conservative media, according to a trio of researchers from the American Institute for Economic Research (AIER). The First Amendment is "is so clear that only a politician could manage to miss the point," AIER senior researchers Phillip Magness, James Harrigan, and Ryan Yonk wrote in the New York Post this week. "And when politicians miss the point of a straightforward, necessary protection, they manage to find all kinds of people willing to...

Over the last week, several outlets published articles warning that a second Trump term would turn America into a dictatorship.The Washington Post most notably ran a piece written by Robert Kagan, husband of Former State Department official Victoria Nuland (who was deeply involved in peddling the Steele dossier) titled “A Trump dictatorship is increasingly inevitable. We should stop pretending.”

Shrugging off higher interest rates, America's consumers spent enough to help drive the economy to a brisk 5.2% annual pace from July through September...The government had previously estimated that the economy grew at a 4.9% annual rate last quarter...the unemployment rate has come in below 4% for 21 straight months, the longest such streak since the 1960s..."We continue to forecast ongoing expansion in economic activity, but the pace should slow quite significantly in Q4..."

A Sky News reporter claimed that Israel released "children" - the Prime Minister's spokesman attacked: "Do you even know what he was accused of?" Once again there was a storm on the broadcast of the important British network: Mark Regev did not remain indifferent to the problematic definition of the foreign reporter. Was he accused?", and she admitted: "I don't know" .. Once again an approach from the "Sky News" network is embarrassingly exposed in front of an Israeli official. Mark Regev, Prime Minister Netanyahu's spokesman for foreign media, was interviewed by the British Broadcasting Network last night (Friday) and...

Longtime anti-Israel activist Christiane Amanoour, as part of demonizing Israel has also an obsession with semantics. At the time of protests against Judicial reform, Amanpour pressed at least one Israeli interviewee to use the T word - 'totalitarian,' in case reform goes through. But to her disappointment, it did not. Now, after Oct 7 atrocities by the Gaza fascist genocidal regime, who foresaw Israeli response and have always been using non -combatants to make sure they die, Ananpour knows all that, but her israelophobia virus has a particular obsession with name calling on the victim and only democratic entity in...

Elon Musk is currently suing the left wing organization Media Matters for America. It’s about time someone did.During his FOX News show this week, Greg Gutfeld broke down what’s happening, but even more importantly, he clearly explained what MMFA really is.MMFA bills itself as a media watchdog. The truth is that they are nothing more than a group that seeks to silence anyone who is not on the left.

Kleenex sales may have shattered records in the DC metropolitan area this weekend thanks to The Washington Post’s nearly 5,000-word pity party for Hunter Biden. The Post revealed that “Hunter’s relationship with his own last name has . . . invited burdens and scrutiny.”

The New York paper of record has drawn a “false moral equivalence” between those who put up posters calling for the release of hostages and those who tear the posters down, per CAMERA. Posters depicting Israeli hostages that Hamas terrorists are holding in the Gaza Strip near a large billboard that the watchdog group CAMERA took out near the Midtown Manhattan offices of “The New York Times,” November 2023

This conflagration has exposed as rotten a lot of stupid notions and will lead to the demise of things like “open borders, identity politics, corruption power hungry bureaucrats, Gramscian culture.” Murder and MayhemThis week the Ventura County Sheriff arrested Professor Loay Abdelfattah Alnaji in the death of Paul Kessler, a 69 year-old man who had been standing on the sidewalk peacefully supporting Israel. Alnaji, who bashed Kessler with a megaphone, was charged with involuntary manslaughter and battery causing serious bodily injury and both these charges contain special allegations that Alnaji “personally inflicted great bodily injury.” This comes as no surprise...
