EXCERPT After Robach acquiesced to having her bombshell report killed, her career advanced within the network. In 2018 she became co-anchor of the prestigious 20/20 news magazine on ABC. In 2019, after admitting on the hot mic she believed the Clintons and the British royal family were both involved in Epstein’s pedo-ring, Robach did an excellent job of not appearing reluctant when she gave both families glowing media coverage on ABC News. In May, she spent several days in Windsor, England, filing daily fluff pieces for Good Morning America about the anticipation of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s first child....

ABC bosses are battling to deal with the fallout from comments made by “Good Morning America” reporter Amy Robach, who was caught on a hot mic claiming network brass scrapped her interview with a Jeffrey Epstein accuser to appease the royal family. The “GMA” reporter could be heard complaining that she spent three years trying to get the interview with Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who alleges she was forced to sleep with Prince Andrew while she was kept as Epstein’s sex slave, on air. ABC news chiefs swiftly moved on Tuesday to have Robach issue a statement, in which she backtracked...

The Salt Lake Tribune announced Monday it received approval from the Internal Revenue Service to convert to a nonprofit publication. In a tweet, Thomas Burr, the paper's Washington bureau chief, said it was the "first legacy newspaper to make the jump." The Tribune will now be a 501(c)(3). According to the paper, the move was backed by the paper's owner Paul Huntsman. “The current business model for local newspapers is broken and beyond repair,” Huntsman said, according to the paper. “We needed to find a way to sustain this vital community institution well beyond my ownership, and nonprofit status will...

CNN host Victor Blackwell abruptly ended a Saturday panel about Republicans' impeachment strategy plans after a guest insisted on "debunked conspiracies" about Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton. The discussion aimed at identifying the Republican Party's strategies for countering the House impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump derailed when former GOP South Carolina Lieutenant Governor André Bauer continued to berate the panel with accusations against Joe and Hunter Biden. Blackwell asked Bauer and CNN political commentator Tara Setmayer to respond to Trump acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney and several senators' admitting a Ukraine quid pro quo took place. But the...

This should surprise no one who has been paying attention. – Fake news outlets across the national Democrat media spectrum maintained their conspiratorial wall of silence following the report by Paul Sperry at RealClearInvestigations identifying deep state skunk Eric Ciaramella as Adam Schiff’s fake whistleblower. True to their role as the propaganda wing of the Democrat Party, fake media outlets from the New York Times to CNN and all newspapers and TV outlets in between pretended that a “whistleblower” is somehow entitled to anonymity. That is simply a falsehood. Whistleblowers under federal law are entitled to protection from retaliation from...

As we’ve told you, many in the media went into immediate Trump-era “journalism” mode with their takes on an obvious Photoshop of Trump giving the dog who helped kill al-Baghdadi a medal after it was shared by the president on Twitter. If you missed it, here’s Trump’s tweet: AMERICAN HERO! Fortunately CNN’s Jim Acosta was there to help piece everything together by letting America in on some inside info: A WH official said "the dog is not at the WH." The nation awaits Snopes’ final determination but for now we’ll take Jim Acosta’s word for it:

Even the Gray Lady admits the president is up against a powerful bureaucracy that wants him sunk.. The New York Times on Thursday published a remarkable piece that essentially acknowledged the existence of an American “deep state” and its implacable hostility to Donald Trump. ... American foreign policy has become the almost exclusive domain of unelected bureaucrats impervious to the views of elected officials—even presidents—who may harbor outlooks different from their own. This is a big deal because, even in today’s highly charged political environment, with a sitting president under constant guerrilla attack, few have been willing to acknowledge any...

While reading the absurd New York Times impeachment porn fantasy by Carl Hulse which was published on Saturday, you have to pinch yourself every few sentences to remind yourself that you are actually reading a bizarre what-if written by the chief Washington correspondent for a major newspaper. What if the Senate votes to convict President Trump after he was impeached by the House, meaning about 20 Republican senators vote with the Democrats. And then, and then just a majority of them could vote to keep him from running for President again? Of course, before you get to the simple majority to...

The mockery and the spin from President Trump’s political opponents poured in as soon as he made his announcement on Sunday about US forces killing ISIS chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. The president didn’t restrain his urge to take credit for the triumph or hold back on describing the events in pure Trumpspeak. He spoke of al-Baghdadi “whimpering” and “dying like a dog.” While giving the proper credit to the heroism of the operators who put an end to the career of a murderer and rapist who was one of the planet’s true villains, Trump did the presidential equivalent of an...

Under the color of law and in the tradition of its earliest republican institutions, tyranny thrived in Imperial Rome. Likewise, the Deep State covers its criminal tracks in Constitutional practices. Did Navy Admiral McRaven recently confirm that senior officer ranks joined the Deep State? Is the Deep State an emergent Praetorian Guard whose ring Presidents must kiss? Despite media avoidance of the obvious, its an open secret that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton descended to new depths when they sicced American Law and foreign intelligence agencies on the Trump campaign. Our institutions are so rotten that only one man, Admiral...

BREAKING: Speaking this morning on CBS "Face the Nation," Obama's Jt Chiefs Vice Chair James Winnefeld bashed Trump for "piling humiliation" on ISIS after lethal raid on its kingpin:"If you look back at the bin Laden raid, we treated his body with respect that is due under Islam"

RUSH: President Trump today met the press in his now famous, brilliant way. You know, the official White House press briefing is canceled. There aren’t any anymore. You know why? The president said, why should I allow these people a forum to make themselves famous at my expense? Nothing gets accomplished in these things anyway. It’s a tradition that doesn’t serve my purposes. It’s a waste of time. But rather than not talk to the press, he talks to the press more than ever. He’s talking to ’em, not the press secretary. He sees them as he leaves the White...

RUSH: What do you mean, they’ve lost the monopoly of the news cycle? Folks, it’s all over the news that there is now a criminal investigation of the investigation into Trump! That’s all over the news cycle now. It’s everywhere. The New York Times, the Washington Post. And they’re doing CYA stuff on it. What’s the first thing CNN did? They went and got one of the conspirators, they went and got Andy McCabe to come out, and Andy McCabe told the Papadopoulos lie. I’m telling you, this is gonna be warp speed now because they think they have lost...

On Wednesday, journalist Carl Bernstein had a hot scoop. President Trump “is behaving and conducting himself in a way that Republicans themselves, especially talking with reporters privately, are questioning his sanity and his stability,” the Watergate reporter claimed.

AUDIOKellyanne Conway, US President Donald Trump’s top White House aide and self-described “powerful woman,” berated and threatened a reporter over the phone following a story by the journalist that characterized Conway as “caught in the middle” of a feud between her husband and her boss. On Wednesday, Conway’s assistant, Tom Joannou, placed a phone call to Caitlin Yilek, a breaking news reporter at the Washington Examiner. The day prior, Yilek had authored a piece about Conway potentially becoming the White House’s next chief of staff in which she mentioned that Trump and Conway’s husband, George Conway, have engaged in a...

Full title: Judicial Watch: AP Reporters Gave DOJ/FBI Ukraine Info and Code to Private Locker of Paul Manafort in Apparent Effort to Push Criminal Prosecution Andrew Weissmann organized off-the-record DOJ/FBI meeting with AP to exchange ‘clarification’ and ‘assistance’ in their investigation for details on former Trump Campaign Director Paul Manafort (Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch today released two productions of heavily redacted FBI documents – 28 pages and 38 pages – about an April 11, 2017, “off-the-record” meeting set up by then-Chief of the Justice Department’s Criminal Fraud Section Andrew Weissmann, between the DOJ, the FBI and the Associated Press...

The former “CBS This Morning” host — who is getting paid at least $7 million a year by CBS News boss Susan Zirinsky to revive the perennially third-ranked newscast — is getting hammered in the ratings worse than her predecessors did. In the last week alone, O’Donnell’s total viewers plunged 17 percent to 5.1 million, according to Nielsen. Among viewers in the crucial demographic ages 25 to 54 that’s coveted by advertisers, the drop was a heart-stopping 25 percent. The slide has steadily accelerated during the past month, with weekly ratings in the key age group falling between 20 and...

The press hates Donald Trump. That's not a newsflash. The bias the press shows toward most Republicans turns to outright hostility when it comes to Trump. Once you've convinced yourself your opponent is an evil racist, it's not hard to justify doing anything you can to stop him. Many in the press corps have admitted this. Most haven't, but it's definitely the prevalent attitude in the dominant liberal media. How can we have a fair election in this environment? That question is coming to a head now with regard to Joe Biden and his son's alleged corruption. The Biden campaign...
