Here is a question you can ask the Google AI: "Can the Associated Press editorialize?"And here is the answer you will get:"No, the Associated Press (AP) strives for factual, nonpartisan reporting and prohibits its journalists from editorializing or expressing personal opinions in their news coverage; their core mission is to provide objective news, but they face scrutiny and debate over potential biases, requiring consumers and member editors to remain vigilant for bias and clearly identify third-party contributions."That's some remarkably unintelligent artificial intelligence.Well, it sure seems like the AP violated its own alleged prohibition of editorializing with their Saturday story about...

The new Pentagon press corps entered the imposing building on the Potomac for the first time this week as those disgruntled members of the former press corps took to their pages to complain about it. The New York Times went a step further and is suing the Pentagon over what they say is a violation of the First Amendment. The Times claimed that the outlets that are currently covering the Pentagon were selected "based on viewpoint." They state that in "In describing the '[n]ew media outlets' willing to accede to the Department's 'media access policy,' [Sean] Parnell wrote that they...

NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Times filed a lawsuit Thursday against the Pentagon, attempting to overturn new rules imposed by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that have led to most mainstream media outlets being banished from the building. The newspaper said the rules violate the Constitution’s freedom of speech and due process provisions, since they give Hegseth the power to determine on his own whether a reporter should be banned. Outlets such as the Times walked out of the Pentagon rather than agree to the rules as a condition for getting a press credential. During her briefing Tuesday, Pentagon...

With Tuesday’s White House Cabinet meeting chugging past the two-hour mark, President Donald Trump ‘s eyes fluttered and closed. His budget director busied himself doodling a fluffy cloud. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was lucky enough to speak early, but the title on his nameplate was misspelled. The sleepy, and occasionally slipshod, gathering nonetheless ended with a flurry of news. Trump declared that he didn’t want Somalis in the U.S. and Hegseth cited the “ fog of war ” in defending a follow-up strike on an alleged drug-carrying boat in the Caribbean Sea in September. The president started things off by...

Looks like CNN Democrat political commentator Bakari Sellers’ push of a leftist campaign to boycott businesses that supported President Trump in any way fell harder than Kamala’s poll numbers on Election Day. CNN NewsNight anchor Abby Phillip concluded her November 28 roundtable by questioning panelists on what they would “be willing to wait in line and risk the absolute chaos and madness” for? Sellers, acting like he was the wokest of the group, pivoted to promote a daffy campaign spearheaded by George Soros-backed activist and Black Voters Matter co-founder LaTosha Brown dubbed “We Ain’t Buying It” to punish any stores...

President Trump just dropped one of the most savage and hilarious tools the White House has ever created — a brand-new Media Bias Monitor that publicly names, shames, and exposes the most misleading outlets in America. And the media is absolutely LOSING IT. This official White House website features weekly “Media Offenders,” a full “Hall of Shame,” detailed breakdowns of misreported stories, and even a leaderboard showcasing the worst offenders in real time. The Boston Globe, CBS News, The Independent, CNN, MSNBC — nobody is safe. And what’s even better? The media’s meltdown over this website is doing more damage...

When it comes to Muslim terrorism, the official trope is that “it’s always mental illness until you find a video of him pledging allegiance to ISIS” and even then there’s some wriggle room. Little surprise then that the media is trying to sell the “he was just sad” angle to explain why Rahmanullah Lakanwal traveled from Washington State to D.C. and then ambushed and shot and killed two members of the National Guard.

LMFAO! There is now an attempt to get corporate media outlets to BOYCOTT President Trump's press conferences and availabilities - "until you clean up your act!" Take Jim Acosta's advice and DO IT! 🤣 Press credentials can be swapped for New Media!

The Department of Education has excluded nursing as a “professional degree” program as it sets about implementing various measures regarding student loans laid out in President Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill.” The move has sparked significant uproar among nurses and nursing groups, with the American Nurses Association saying, as reported by Nursing World, that “limiting nurses’ access to funding for graduate education threatens the very foundation of patient care.

He is said to have used the term 'a bit fashy' to describe them.The...

GÜIRIA, Venezuela (AP) — One was a fisherman struggling to eke out a living on $100 a month. Another was a career criminal. A third was a former military cadet. And a fourth was a down-on-his-luck bus driver. The men had little in common beyond their Venezuelan seaside hometowns and the fact all four were among the more than 60 people killed since early September when the U.S. military began attacking boats that the Trump administration alleges were smuggling drugs. President Donald Trump and top U.S. officials have alleged the craft were being operated by narco-terrorists and cartel members bound...

After the 2013 government shutdown ended, Republican leaders made clear they had only been humoring Sen. Ted Cruz and his plot to defund Obamacare. “It was not a smart play. It had no chance of success,” then-Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said. Then-House Speaker John Boehner initially said the GOP had “fought the good fight.” But he would later say the plan “never had a chance” and even called the Texas senator “Lucifer in the flesh.” This is how shutdowns generally go. The side seeking a concession fights what they view as “the good fight,” and then they...
