Here’s how Unvision reported the Court’s ruling: NOTICIERO UNIVISION 4/7/25 6:59 PM TIFANI ROBERTS: And in breaking news, the United States Supreme Court lifted federal Judge Boasberg's injunction blocking deportee flights, alleged members of Tren de ..read more

CNN anchorman Jake Tapper, in 2025, proclaimed on his show that he is NOT on the Left. Asked to defend Trump's "tariff chaos," Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins told Tapper "Everyone, especially on your side, on the left, is freaking out." Tapper quickly replied "I'm not on the left." Where is he, then? We know what Tapper is trying to do here – his colleague Brian Stelter has tried to do this, too – "I am not taking a side." But in the first Trump term, CNN boss Jeff Zucker made them ALL take a side. They had to uncork grand speeches. "We call them homilies," said Tapper in 202 ..read more

ABC’s The View hosted Senator Cory Booker (D- NJ) Monday morning, following his record-breaking 25-hour yap-fest on the Senate floor the previous week. The panel had very little specific to ask Booker, though, and spent most of their time praising him to the sky, and applauding as he trotted out a few stock Democratic talking points. Whoopi Goldberg welcomed Booker with this hard hitting question, “It’s so nice to see you sitting. Did you get any rest?” Rather than going into anything Booker had actually said in those 25 hours, Goldberg then turned to the mass protest of the previous weekend ..read more

Firing Line host Margaret Hoover conducted a panel at the USC Center for the Political Future, taped January 30 and aired Friday. The episode was advertised as “The challenges for journalism in the age of Trump.” Host Margaret Hoover: At a time when Americans' trust in traditional news sources is at an all-time low, we explore the changing landscape of politics and journalism with three longtime professionals…. It sounds like a CNN show, not the original Firing Line show founded by conservative icon William F. Buckley. New York Times national political reporter Adam Nagourney made some eye-ope ..read more

In a huge, five-page, 3,200-word spread in Sunday’s Washington Post, Style section writer Jada Yuan heaped more liberal bile on the grossly anti-Christian, anti-family, pro-baby death, and far-left crowd behind the show The Handmaid’s Tale ahead of its final season. As is usually the case with puff pieces on the show, Yuan left out that star Elizabeth Moss is a devout Scientology which, if there ever was a dangerous cult, that’s it. “‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ is ready for its revolution; The dystopian TV drama is winding up for its big finish. Its cast members have lots to say about its relevance ..read more

Olivers abound on Sunday when former CNN media beat writer Oliver Darcy took to his media-industry newsletter to puff up late night comedian John Oliver. Darcy praised the effort and research Oliver and his team of producers at Last Week Tonight put into each episode. But one massive recent development for Oliver was the unaddressed gorilla in the room: the defamation suit against him and the production company. A defamation suit that allegedly stemmed from poor research and the manipulation of audio. Darcy kicked off his puff piece by specifically highlighting Oliver and Co.’s “deep dives int ..read more

If you got all of your news from CNN and MSNBC, you’d have a higher than 50/50 chance of believing the Trump administration had accidentally arrested and deported a naturalized American citizen living in Maryland, and for no particular reason. Cable networks CNN and MSNBC have hopelessly twisted the story of an El Salvadoran illegal alien who recently was deported by the Trump administration. Over the past week, these two networks have referred to Kilmar Abrego-Garcia as a “Maryland man” or “Maryland father” a whopping 120 times, while identifying him as an illegal alien only seven times. Mean ..read more

If there's one guy in the liberal media who should be modest about boasting, "I told you so," it's Joe Scarborough. Scarborough is the guy who—in the face of Biden's undeniable decline—assured voters that "this was the best Biden ever," angrily bellowing, "and f-you if you don't believe it." Yeah, well, we told you so, Scarborough. Biden was obviously unfit to serve. Before you go bragging about your keen powers of foresight, how about offering a sincere apology to your viewers for having so blatantly misled them about Biden's ability to lead? Ironically, the very morning after Biden's disastr ..read more
