Trump’s lawsuit alleged CBS edited Harris’s response to the Israel question "to make her look better" and that the action amounted to "election interference." The lawsuit said CBS deceptively aired the edited, more polished version on "60 Minutes" and a different, rambling one on "Face the Nation." Trump's lawsuit framed this as not just political bias, but as a form of commercial deception under Texas’s Deceptive Trade Practices‑Consumer Protection Act, arguing that CBS's editing gave Harris an unfair advantage. "With this record settlement, President Donald J. Trump delivers another win for the American people as he, once again, holds the...

VIDEOHave you ever heard of concentration camps that provide air conditioning and serve up three square meals per day while NOT forcing the inmates to work? No? Then you will laugh at the Drama Queen hysteria of these liberals having meltdowns over Alligator Alcatraz while screaming DISINFORMATION such as that the back doors of cargo planes full of illegals are being opened over the ocean where they are unloaded. Or that that the Alligator Alcatraz incinerators are for disposing inmates, not trash. The source for this? Strictly feelings NOT facts. Will the media correct all the DISINFORMATION being spewed about...

On Morning Joe, NBC reporter Julia Ainsley fretted that there could be "injuries" to detainees at Alligator Alcatraz. She did so in the context of noting that the facility is "soft-sided" rather than "bricks and mortar." Her implication seemed to be that, as a result, it will be easier for detainees to escape. Pro tip for detainees not wanting to become lunch for a hungry alligator or python: don't add to your crimes by escaping. Ainsley also claimed that with Alligator Alcatraz, the Trump administration is "deviating" from the notion that ICE detention is not meant to be punitive. Katty...

Paramount Global and CBS agreed on Tuesday to pay President Donald Trump a sum that could reach north of $30 million to settle the president’s election interference lawsuit against the network. Trump will receive $16 million upfront. This will cover legal fees, costs of the case, and contributions to his library or charitable causes, to be determined at Trump’s discretion. There is an expectation that there will be another allocation in the mid-eight figures set aside for advertisements, public service announcements, or other similar transmissions, in support of conservative causes by the network, Fox News Digital has learned. Sources close...

The White House is looking into possible criminal charges against CNN after it published a report about an app allowing users to track Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity in their area. President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem discussed the matter with reporters at the grand opening of a Florida detention facility known as “Alligator Alcatraz.” A reporter brought up border czar Tom Homan’s assertion that CNN should be prosecuted for essentially promoting the app to its readers. “We're working with the Department of Justice to see if we can prosecute them for that, because what they're...

Unreal. CNN is now promoting an app which tracks the movement of ICE agents to warn illegals. ICE agents face a 500% increase in assault and threats. CNN knows exactly what they’re doing.

JUST IN - U.S. Homeland Security and Justice Department seek to prosecute CNN for promoting ICEBlock app, says DHS Secretary Noem.

Across the country videos of ICE agents being assailed and ambushed by both protesters and illegal fugitives are getting widespread attention, but unfortunately these incidents are wrongly being held out by 'activists' as proof ICE is out of control, and has plans to deport americans... Journalistic coverage of recent ICE arrests including news footage, analysis and commentary.

Well, CNN is at the center of yet another fake news hoax. What number is this now? Honestly, too many to count. But this latest stunt is especially egregious because it involves our national security. So what happened? CNN ran a bogus story claiming that President Trump’s highly successful military strikes barely dented Iran’s nuclear program and only set them back “a few months.” The goal was obvious: downplay the operation and spin it as a failure.

During Operation Rising Lion, the Islamic Republic of Iran was left diplomatically and militarily isolated. Despite having agreements or understandings with entities such as Russia, China, and North Korea, no nation, not one, offered —even the smallest— military assistance to Iran in response to the offensive. Iran's Islamic fascist, regime, was left standing alone internationally. Promised alliances, including alleged pacts with Vladimir Putin (Russia), Xi Jinping (China), and North Korea’s leadership, failed to produce any tangible support. Iran received zero military assistance, a fact widely interpreted as a sign of isolation both regionally and globally. This lack of support starkly...

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth defended the US strikes on Iran and forcefully criticized the media’s coverage of early intelligence assessments of the impact of Saturday’s bombing run targeting Iranian nuclear facilities in a Pentagon press conference on Thursday. “I hope, with all the ink spilled, all of your outlets find the time to properly recognize this historic change in continental security that other presidents tried to do, other presidents talked about,” Hegseth said. “President Trump accomplished it. It’s a huge deal.” He criticized media reporting of a preliminary US intelligence assessment that suggested the strike did not obliterate core...

The mainstream media tried to destroy Trump—but in the end, they destroyed themselves. This is the story of anchors who lost their minds, reporters who lost their careers, and a media machine that couldn’t handle President Trump.

As much as it’s horrifying to watch a city burn and the lives of cops and federal agents threatened by violent protesters, there is a silver lining to the last several days of rioting in Los Angeles. The desperate attempts to spin what’s happening do a fairly good job of illustrating what’s wrong with the political discourse in this country — and further demonstrate that the dishonest sophistry used to excuse violent riots in 2020 is no longer remotely persuasive.Still it’s worth classifying and breaking down the specific arguments and talking points that have been employed by the Democrat Party-media-industrial...

...In a legal sense, it is not merely a "protest" to obstruct law enforcement. It’s a crime. It is not "protest" to throw bricks at ICE agents or police, or set cars on fire. But the broadcast coverage of this unrest sounded disturbingly like the excuse-making for the George Floyd riots of 2020, when violent mobs were described as a "racial reckoning." Once again, the TV networks used the mantra that the protests are "mostly peaceful," like it was a tiny sideshow, and Trump calling out the National Guard to quell the violence was treated as a provocation that worsened...

“Just … follow the money.” – Deep Throat, All the President’s MenThat used to be the watchword for investigative journalists. If you want to uncover corruption, find out where the money is coming from and where it is going. At least it used to be.Today? Not so much. At least not when doing so could implicate Democrats or upset the left’s agenda.Case in point is the Los Angeles riots. There’s plenty of reason to believe that the riots are being organized and financed by unsavory characters whose mission is to foment division and violence in the United States.Some of the...

CNN - When the Trump Justice Department took the extraordinary step of arresting a local judge seven weeks ago, plenty feared what it could portend. Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan’s case will play out in the weeks and months to come – she’s pleaded not guilty to obstructing the arrest of an undocumented immigrant – but arresting judges and public officials isn’t something to undertake lightly. Critics warned of the chilling effect it could lead to and the precedent it would set. Virtually nothing in the past seven weeks will have tempered those fears. The fervor to arrest public officials who...

Liberals in cable and network news are lying to the public about the Los Angeles riots and related unrest. They are going on TV every day and telling the public not to believe what they see and hear with their own eyes and ears. Does this feel familiar? It should, because it’s the exact same thing they did with Joe Biden for years. Just a few weeks ago, Jake Tapper and other media liberals were telling us that they just somehow ‘missed the story’ of Biden’s mental decline, after insisting there was nothing wrong with him. During an appearance on...

The long-time correspondent won’t return to the network after his suspension. ABC News correspondent Terry Moran has been let go from the network. The decision comes two days after ABC suspended Moran, the network’s senior national correspondent, over an X post about White House adviser Stephen Miller. In that post, which he lated deleted, Moran referred to Miller as a “world-class hater.” “We are at the end of our agreement with Terry Moran and based on his recent post — which was a clear violation of ABC News policies — we have made the decision to not renew,” an ABC...

A Los Angeles news station went viral after its news anchor characterized the anti-ICE riots as "just a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn" on Sunday. During its live coverage of the violent demonstrations rocking downtown LA, ABC7 Los Angeles anchor Jory Rand cautioned law enforcement from escalating tensions by interfering. "It could turn very volatile if you move law enforcement in there in the wrong way, and turn what is just a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn into a massive confrontation and altercation between officers and demonstrators," he said

Legendary sports play-by-play man Bob Costas thinks that the corporate press is simply doing “MAGA media,” leaving the news industry without a dissenting or oppositional voice. On Monday night, Costas blasted corporate media outlets at the Mirror Awards, held in New York City. At the event, held by Syracuse University’s Newhouse School, of which Costas is an alumnus, the longtime American sportscaster received the Fred Dressler Leadership Award for making “distinct, consistent and unique contributions to the public’s understanding of the media.” However, Costas didn’t use his speech to reflect on his years in sports media alone. Instead, he singled...
