From a screenshot a friend just messaged me, minutes ago, on Sep 19, 2025. (05:45 AP Pacific time) "The media is biased and should be punished. That is the mainstream media."

Western Lensman @WesternLensman The despicable ghouls at MSNBC immediately attack Charlie Kirk in wake of shooting — Matthew Dowd blames Kirk's pushing “hate speech” as reason he was shot: "I always go back to hateful thoughts, lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions." “You can't stop with these sort of awful thoughts you have and then saying these awful words and not expect awful actions to take place." Un freaking real.

She made the decision to deceptively edit Secretary Kristi Noem’s answers today in order to run cover for illegal MS-13 gang member and human trafficker Kilmar Abrego Garcia. She needs to be fired. WASHINGTON –Today, CBS’ “Face the Nation” selectively edited answers by U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on August 31. In total, CBS cut nearly four minutes of her 16 minute and 40 second interview during its broadcast. In doing so CBS removed more than 23% of Secretary Noem’s answers exposing the truth about criminal illegal alien Kilmar Abrego Garcia, President Donald Trump’s lawful actions to protect the...

“We’ve also been going through it, and I can tell you there are crude diagrams of the church. There are also photos of the weapons, and they include all sorts of writings, the names of past mass shooters, criticism of Israel, the name of President Trump written on the guns,” Katersky added.

As we await US-Russia Alaska summit tomorrow (15), the MSM continues their painful process of recognizing the realities on the ground in the battlefields of Ukraine.One of the most difficult realities to face is the realization that literally millions of Ukrainian citizens will not fight for their country and hide from the conscription officers.More than half a million Ukrainian men of military age have fled the country, while many others are still in hiding.Add to that the desertion epidemic plaguing the Ukrainian forces, with hundreds of deserters abandoning their positions at the front every single day.Russian forces have breached Ukrainian...

This is what I am fighting for: Here are the Ten Commandements of Real Journalism: Journalists are not lawyers in a court of law trying to prove a case or activists campaigning for a cause. Our job is to seek the truth no matter what and follow the facts wherever they lead us regardless of political outcomes or consequences. It is not the role of a journalist to decide what people should think. Our duty is to search for the whole truth and communicate accurately and honestly so the audience or reader can make up their own mind.Thou shalt not...

Some experts say the incidents cited by a critic are modest and may not reflect an intentional effort to take credit. Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign Tuesday rejected claims that she and a co-author had plagiarized a handful of passages in a 2009 book on fighting crime, arguing that the allegations amounted to a partisan attempt to weaponize a 15-year-old work. The claims arose this week when Christopher Rufo, a conservative activist, listed five instances in the book, “Smart on Crime: A Career Prosecutor’s Plan to Make Us Safer,” saying Harris and co-author Joan O’C. Hamilton used language that was...

Innocent rallygoers were shot, and one was brutally murdered. The callous media is oblivious. We don’t have the people’s names yet, but it’s very heartbreaking. They went to enjoy themselves and show support. Now, one is deceased, murdered and two are critically injured. We are so sorry for the victims and their families. The witness had been speaking to the deceased man, who was with his family. He died in front of his family. The man was shot in the head. It reminded the witness of the Zapruder film of the shooting of JFK. If CNN really wants to rebuild...

After the report was released on the Russia collusion investigation, it has become clear that FISA requests were approved by judges based on the Steele dossier -- a report funded for and written by anti-Trump hacks. Over the last few years, however, many journalists denied this to be the case. Oh no, they said time and again, the Steele dossier wasn't (much of) the basis of the FISA request(s) to spy on former Trump adviser Carter Page at all. No sir. Twitter-user @Techno_Fog was so kind as to collect tweets from those journalists about the matter. To start with: the...

Both CNN and MSNBC rushed to put disgraced CBS News anchorman Dan Rather on the air Wednesday night, which underlines just how much their coverage of the impeachment inquiry is based on partisanship. What matters about journalism is your "heart was in the right place." Rather's liberal heart was on display as he sought to underline that "history" was going to be tough on Trump and his Republican defenders. Rather actually told CNN's Don Lemon -- no laugh track provided -- that there are people out there who take the attitude "don't bother me with facts, I have my mind...

The Committee to Protect Journalists credited President Donald Trump with the “Overall Achievement in Undermining Global Press Freedom” in its “Press Oppressors” awards Monday. The event was reportedly organized in response to Trump’s plan to bestow “Fake News” awards, which he claims has generated “far greater [interest] than anyone could have anticipated.” The Fake News Awards, those going to the most corrupt & biased of the Mainstream Media, will be presented to the losers on Wednesday, January 17th, rather than this coming Monday. The interest in, and importance of, these awards is far greater than anyone could have anticipated! —...

... let's look at Morford assessment of Pruitt (bolds are mine throughout this post): Why the EPA director’s security now costs $2 million ... Behold, this banally evil, milquetoast, science-denying government administrator who now, due to an unprecedented, surprising-but-then-again-not-really number of death threats – the agency has already investigated 70 so far – demands a round-the-clock security detail, one totaling dozens of henchmen making six figures apiece and costing taxpayers more than $2 million a year, a ridiculous situation unheard of in the modern era. It is yours to ponder why. Here's a wild guess, Mark: The far-left has become...

According to a study released Thursday by neuroscientist Dr. Tara Swart in association with the London Press Club, the highest functions of the human brain operate at a lower level in journalists than the average population. Her research titled “Study Into The Mental Resilience of Journalists,” blames journalists’ cognitive shortcomings on dehydration caused by excessive alcohol consumption along with poor diet, including higher levels of sugar and caffeine. Less than 5% of journalists drink enough — or any — water while 41% drank more than 18 alcoholic drinks per week.

<p>As a newly elected president, Donald Trump was quick to take one of Washington's institutional pillars down a peg. By snubbing the 2017 annual White House Correspondents' Dinner (WHCD), the president deflated what should have been more appropriately called the Sycophants’ Supper. Would that it was the last such supper. For now, the POTUS's bitchslap to this gathering of sycophants this past weekend will have to do.</p>

In a contentious interview with Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer on Friday, MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell fretted over Israeli police killing knife-wielding Palestinian terrorists: “What about the possibility of excessive force?” Dermer responded: “Andrea, if someone was coming at you with a knife, would you want the police officer to take out a knife and to try to stop him or would you want that police officer to shoot that person before he would attack you?” Mitchell proclaimed: “Not shoot to kill.” She then declared that Israel was “...losing the war on social media because these videos [of the police shootings]...

BEIRUT (AP) — A French photojournalist and an American working for a British newspaper were killed Wednesday by Syrian government shelling of the opposition stronghold of Homs, France’s government said. Activists said at least two other Western journalists were injured in barrages that claimed at least 19 lives. In Paris, French government spokeswoman Valerie Pecresse said those killed were French photojournalist Remi Ochlik and American veteran war reporter Marie Colvin, who was working for Britain’s Sunday Times. France’s Foreign Minister, Alain Juppe, said the attacks show the “increasingly intolerable repression” by Syrian forces. The Syrian military has redoubled its attacks...
