Ben Rhodes, the president’s Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications, recently told the New York Times Magazine that newspapers no longer have foreign bureaus, so “they call us to explain to them what’s happening in Moscow and Cairo.” The average reporter Rhodes encounters is 27 years old and “their only reporting experience consists of being around political campaigns. That’s a sea change. They literally know nothing.” One of the things they know nothing about is the major movement of modern times, Marxism-Leninism, also known as Communism, which first appeared nearly 100 years ago in the Union of Soviet Socialist...

X owner Elon Musk has put the propaganda powerhouse that America’s most notorious billionaire George Soros runs on full blast, and he is right to do so. Swedish journalist Peter Imanuelsen criticized in a Jan. 9 X post, “Why does the mainstream media never talk about how George Soros is a threat to democracy?” Musk didn’t pull any punches in his response, “Because they are his lapdogs.” This is not hyperbole. MRC Business research has repeatedly exposed the ungodly fortune that Soros has poured into influencing the global information sphere. This insulates Soros’s grossly anti-American agenda from media scrutiny,

I would have written about this one yesterday, but I was enjoying the experience of getting a colonoscopy. But the story is still timely and, more importantly, a perfect example of how the Democrats and the Pravda Media create a nasty hoax out of an innocent event. I am speaking of the Great Handshake Controversy of January 6th. It was, according to the left, a very dark day in American history. Scott Jennings snarkily called it the High Holy Day of January 6th. This time the horror that must be expressed was not the storming of the Capitol building but...

What does the media decide to do when the world’s richest man draws attention to a government coverup of one of the biggest child rape scandals in years? Simp for the politicos accused of being tied to the coverup. The New York Times, CNN, CBS News, Politico, TIME magazine, Deadline, The Independent, BBC and The Guardian all came out in full force like angry bees on behalf of UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer after X owner Elon Musk dared to call him and his woke mind virus-addled Labour Party out. “Starmer was complicit in the RAPE OF BRITAIN when he...

Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that President-elect Donald Trump was suing the media because that will make it easier to “steal” from the American public with the “kleptocracy that he is building.” Host Nicolle Wallace said, “When Trump targets someone, it is a red-hot assault on their reputation. Sometimes, it comes with public safety concerns. What is here in year nine of the Trump story, the strategy for protecting people who end up on the other side of Donald Trump?” Murphy said, “I think it’s really important to explain to people the why. Why is Donald...

President-elect Donald Trump, in his first post-election TV interview, promised a confrontational return to the White House, saying he would like to see many of those who investigated him jailed, including lawmakers who led an inquiry into his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. **SNIP** In a 45-minute interview with NBC News’s “Meet the Press” that aired Sunday and was recorded on Friday, Trump said members of the now-defunct House select committee tasked with investigating the deadly Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the Capitol should be in jail. “Everybody on that committee … for what they...

President Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden in criminal cases during his final days in office. Hunter was convicted for federal firearms and tax offences early this year. He was scheduled to appear in Delon, California, where he might have been sentenced to long jail terms. Thi​s is a power in the hands of the President that allows the court to decide to exempt a convicted human being from serving his/ her sentence. President Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden in criminal cases during his final days in office. Hunter was convicted for federal firearms and tax offences...

Catherine Herridge on how CBS killed her Musk interview after she'd set it up, because CBS wanted control. Plus her story on Hunter Biden laptop.

The three largest American automakers, Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis, are, according to a recent New York Times report, planning a coordinated lobbying push to convince President-elect Donald Trump to maintain a suite of climate rules forcing electric vehicle purchases. The Thursday report—titled "Automakers to Trump: Please Require Us to Sell Electric Vehicles"—cites unnamed "lobbyists and officials from several car companies" who say manufacturers want Trump to keep the Biden administration's tailpipe emissions regulations, fuel economy standards, and generous tax credits for electric vehicle purchases. But at least one of the referenced automakers, the multinational automaker Stellantis, is pushing back...

nlike the other media watchdogs, NewsGuard is a for-profit company, making money in a variety of ways that include licensing its rating.. Part of President-elect Donald’s Trump plan to rein in censorship, which he disclosed on Nov. 9, involves tweaking section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996. Section 230 gives social media companies liability immunity for user posts, though Trump wants it to apply only to those with “high standards of neutrality,” not just those who appear to routinely take down posts that lean conservative. Without calling out by name Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or a legacy media,...

On the night he won a second term, President-elect Donald J. Trump rejoiced in the moment. “America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate,” he boasted. In the two weeks since, his campaign has repeatedly heralded his “landslide,” even to market Trump merchandise like the “Official Trump Victory Glass.”But by traditional numeric measures, Mr. Trump’s victory was neither unprecedented nor a landslide. In fact, he prevailed with one of the smallest margins of victory in the popular vote since the 19th century and generated little of the coattails of a true landslide.The disconnect goes beyond predictable Trumpian braggadocio. The...

It has already started. A local news station ran a story about an illegal alien victim of a crime. He is from Jamaica and is here illegally to make money to send to his wife and children back in Jamaica. But he was hesitant to come forward for fear of being deported. We will be bombarded about the hardships deportation will be on employers, who will claim that they can't get people to work but neglect to tell them they were paying the illegals less than they would have to pay Americans. They will warn of shortages and inflation because...

Panic engulfed MSNBC headquarters on Wednesday after parent company Comcast confirmed a massive spinoff of its cable properties — with a top executive even suggesting the left-leaning network may be forced to change its name. ... Staffers fearing looming layoffs peppered him with questions about if the network will need to change its name, logos and headquarters after reports surfaced that the new entity could be cut off from the reporting muscle of NBC News, ... “Everyone is in a panic because everything is up in the air, ...

The owner of the Los Angeles Times has fired his entire editorial board as he seeks to return the paper to its journalistic roots. Posting on the X platform, the paper’s owner, Patrick Soon-Shiong, said he was proud to have posted a letter opposing attacks on white women for voting for Donald Trump and that the paper would be undergoing some major changes moving forward: Proud that we posted this letter from one of our readers on X. When the President has won the vote of the majority of Americans then ALL voices must be heard. Opinions are just that

We wanted to let readers know that we will no longer post on any official Guardian editorial accounts on the social media site X (formerly Twitter). We think that the benefits of being on X are now outweighed by the negatives and that resources could be better used promoting our journalism elsewhere. This is something we have been considering for a while given the often disturbing content promoted or found on the platform, including far-right conspiracy theories and racism. The US presidential election campaign served only to underline what we have considered for a long time: that X is a...

As blue Western states and cities finish counting votes, it looks like the popular vote “landslide” projected for Donald Trump last week turned out to be a trickle. When all the votes are counted, he will end up with a margin of roughly two points over Vice President Kamala Harris. Presidents Lyndon Johnson in 1964 and Richard Nixon in 1972 won more than 60 percent of the popular vote; Ronald Reagan in 1984 won 58 percent. Those were landslides.Don’t get me wrong, it was a bad outcome for Democrats. Trump won all seven swing states, netting himself 312 Electoral College...

This campaign season saw the left still shrieking about the threat of disinformation from the right — even as Democrats openly and proudly embraced their commitment to telling lies and insisting they’re true. Exhibit 1 Billion: Courier Newsroom, a literal fake news outfit backed by the leading leftoid sugar daddy George Soros. It also counts prog megadonor Reid Hoffman among the benefactors of its parent, the astonishingly misnamed Good Information Inc.

If the 2024 presidential contest proved anything, it’s that the mass media no longer drive the national conversation. They can no longer stoke fear and outrage in average voters. They can no longer prop up terrible candidates. And, like him or not, President-elect Donald Trump’s success with black, Hispanic and Jewish voters, if exit polls are even close to correct, proves that the entire “fascist” scare was a flop. Indeed, the establishment press are less trusted than virtually any major institution in American life. It’s a well-earned ignominy. It’s also a tragedy for a free nation that we have a...

Kamala Harris was carried to Election Day with the biggest and most favorable media bias in history .... The big three networks that dominated TV coverage ended up giving her coverage that was 78% positive to just 15% positive for President Donald Trump. That 63-point advantage is the biggest in history and about three times what 2004 Democratic nominee John Kerry had over President George W. Bush. ... This year’s coverage imbalance was slightly worse than in 2020, when TV news broke all records in providing Joe Biden a 58-point advantage. The bias was hard to miss this year. Near...
