From the White House Correspondents Dinner to '60 Minutes,' reporters spent the weekend claiming they're not an opposition party, they're just "independent" people who search for the "truth," doing "honest journalism." Fact check: False.

Eight years after she left the White House, the liberals on TV are still fawning all over Michelle Obama. Gayle King and Whoopi Goldberg led the parade defending Queen Michelle's self-absorbed decision to skip Jimmy Carter's funeral and Donald Trump's inauguration because it wasn't "the right thing for me." She's free to do that, but she's not free to demand we all shut up about it.

As the Left celebrates Earth Day or Climate Week, George and Alex Soros are the most prominent financiers of this secular crusade. Joseph Vazquez of MRC Business and Matt Palumbo of Bongino Report discuss their latest deep dive into the Soros empire, titled "Eco-Kingpins: How the Soros Empire Funds and Steers the Global Climate Change Agenda."

When Pope Benedict died at the end of 2022, reporters called him "cartoonish" and "God's Rottweiler." The breaking news on the late Pope Francis was much more positive, he was "inclusive" and "reformist" and was "throwing doors open." This is how liberal reporters describe someone they feel is an ally.

The networks demonstrated biases by their choice of anecdotes. They completely skip murders by illegal aliens. like the newly convicted killer of Rachel Morin. Instead, they've gone all in to advocate for illegal alien Kilmar Abrego-Garcia, despite his gang connections and domestic-violence accusations.

On Friday's badly named "All Things Considered" on NPR, painter Amy Sherald -- who is pals with Michelle Obama after she painted her portrait -- smeared the Trump administration and anti-DEI conservatives by describing her woke art as a "counterterrorist attack."

In all the tariff turbulence, the networks have obsessed over economics with a very negative tone, even on the typically soft-news morning shows. Good news on inflation and employment is buried in the "meltdown" hype.

NewsBusters just published a study demonstrating that ABC's 'The View' is a double-reinforced leftist bubble. Over the last three months, they welcomed on 63 guests pushing a liberal agenda, and zero conservatives or Republicans. Why would we do that? Nick Fondadaro explains.

CNN anchorman Jake Tapper, in 2025, proclaimed on his show that he is NOT on the Left. We know what Tapper is trying to do here with this "I am not taking a side." But in the first Trump term, CNN boss Jeff Zucker made them ALL take a side -- and it certainly wasn't neutral or conservative.

Sometimes you can sense that Happy News for Democrats is the most important kind of news. Sen. Cory Booker speaking on the Senate floor for 25 hours, unloading wheelbarrows of Democrat talking points, isn't exactly epic. But Democrats in the media will pretend it is.

The White House Correspondents Association is already having a bad week. They fired comedian Amber Ruffin from their White House Correspondents Dinner. Add to that President Trump is taking over the seating chart in the White House Briefing Room. What will they do as the left sees them as weak? Curtis Houck takes it on.

A CNN poll found Jasmine Crockett tied with Barack Obama when they asked Democrats which leader "best reflects the core values" of the Democrat Party. If she's that beloved, why doesn't she get more press attention?

In a House hearing, Republicans pressed the bosses of PBS and NPR on the blatant leftist bias of their news shows, and both leaders claimed these networks are unbiased and nonpartisan. No one believes this.

Rooting for bad things to happen to your adversaries isn't unusual. But when Rush Limbaugh said "I hope he fails" about incoming President Obama in 2009, leftists suggested he should be executed for treason. Now, people are talking about vandalism against Elon Musk's Tesla vehicles and dealerships, and crowds cheer and laugh as the Tesla stock price sinks. The double standard is obvious, with the Left switching from Obama is like God to Trump is like Satan.

In a recent email, DC PBS station WETA sent an email to donors still squeezing good will out of "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood." We're told "public media belongs to you," and PBS believes in sharing "the good that we know is in one another." Anyone who watches PBS or listens to NPR knows this isn't true.

Karoline Leavitt announced she's not attending the White House Correspondents Dinner, which looks like an even better decision after the journalists ripped Trump and Musk and Hegseth at the "Gridiron Club" dinner. Journalists complain about Trump "curtailing media access," which is ludicrous compared to how much access reporters were given to President Biden.

Why are the media so hostile to Israel and so sympathetic to pro-Hamas activists? Why should America stick with Israel as an ally in global geopolitics? We ask Josh Hammer, author of the new book "Israel and Civilization."

We've reached the five-year anniversary of when the U.S. government locked down the country to curb the Covid pandemic. It lasted much longer than "Two weeks to stop the spread." CBS and PBS explored the anniversary, but there were no apologies for getting so much of the "science" wrong and using the pandemic so mercilessly against Trump and Republican governors in an election year.

As much as liberals want to embarrass conservatives for questioning the "Clean Air Act" or the "Civil Rights Act," it might be time to ask liberals and the media why they are so opposed to Donald Trump and Elon Musk working on the goal of "Government Efficiency."

It's not often that we associate leakers within the government with criminals -- often, they're just frustrated liberals. But leaking the location of potential ICE raids or leaking American troop locations endangers the safety of Americans. Are reporters going to defend these kinds of leaks?

Reporters like Oliver Darcy and David Folkenflik serve as sounding boards for the radical-left staffers inside liberal media outlets who are furious whenever owners or executives threaten to move any outlet toward the center, or make any move that seems to please President Trump. Vicious bias is equated with freedom of speech.

What a difference a year makes. Managing Editor Curtis Houck and Associate Editor Nick Fondacaro compared the liberal media’s reactions to Joe Biden’s final State of the Union last year to Tuesday night’s address to Congress by President Trump and found a surprising change from fawnings (in the case of Ol’ Joe) to exhaustion. Sure, they hated Trump’s speech, ranging from his policies to his showmanship with ordinary Americans. But other than MSNBC’s gross meltdowns (see Nicolle Wallace and Rache...

Who let this happen on "Saturday Night Live"? Comedian Shane Gillis uncorked a monologue that mocked Joe Biden's cognitive fitness, liberal moral arrogance, and PBS documentary star Ken Burns as making dreadfully boring films. Plus some of the latest hatred of DOGE.

NPR CEO Katherine Maher came for a 15-minute interview at a Semafor summit on "trust in media," but it was a softball session. Instead of being pressed on NPR's liberal tilt, Semafor reporter Maxwell Tani was incredibly vague: "What have you done in your first year to build or restore trust in NPR?" I was in the room, and suppressed the desire to yell about the answer (and the question).

They called it a "bombshell" on Tuesday, when Trump press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced they were going to take the credentialing and pooling powers away from the liberal press. Liberals screamed, conservatives cheered. New York Times reporter Peter Baker tweeted "this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access." That's not what Trump did.

The new boss of MSNBC not only canceled "The Reidout" and "Alex Wagner Tonight," she also ended the weekend shows of Ayman Mohyeldin, Katie Phang, and Jonathan Capehart. Is anything really going to change -- other than Joy Reid's visibility? Is Symone Sanders much "safer" for MSNBC? Or is it just rearranging the host furniture?

The CPAC crowd loved Elon Musk playing with a chainsaw, but the media played it as scary. Nobody is going to milk the Musk hatred like so-called "public" broadcasting, the taxpayer-funded leftists calling themselves the Mainstream Media.

Reporters are in a dither than Team Trump's committing a "naked violation of the First Amendment" by denying access to the Associated Press. The liberal blob didn't react this way when Team Biden obstructed access to The New York Post in their time. The AP in no way should be presented as nonpartisan or "the gold standard of neutrality."

It was a deeply weird Sunday at CBS. "Face the Nation" host Margaret Brennan argued that free speech led to the Holocaust, as if the Nazis allowed free speech. Then "60 Minutes" promoted German prosecutors fining and jailing people for "hate speech" on social media. CBS likes a little "German order" on the internet.

Donald Trump never gets any credit for granting broad access to the press. Team Biden was never blamed for avoiding them. That's because journalists don't care about their own access. They care about the Democrats winning. They're partisan team players, not nonpartisan watchdogs.
