Immigration

Comedy Central’s The Daily Show held a satirical debate on its Friday show between host Desi Lydic and pretend White House correspondent Troy Iwata. While Lydic took the position that President Trump’s recent executive order on showerhead pressure was dumb and a waste of time, Iwata took the position that it was a welcome distraction from all the “bigger, real things.” Ultimately, the…

In the past few days, two MSNBC regulars have aimed the kind of race-obsessed vitriol at Republican voters that the liberal news network has long been known for, claiming that the 77 million Americans who voted for Donald Trump are racists.

Wednesday’s CBS Mornings Plus showed its thoughts on whether borders and citizenship actually mean anything as they dedicated a segment to a Columbia University Law professor informing illegal immigrants to cheer up and not as fearful because everyone enjoys the same rights under the Constitution, no matter whether you immigrated legally, we’re born in this country, or came illegally…

Another heinous crime perpetrated by an illegal alien has entered the public discourse: a soccer coach is alleged to have sexually assaulted and murdered a California teenaged boy. And the media are once again having a hard time reporting on the immigration status of the accused murderer.

“America’s Police State Has Arrived,” a column in Sunday’s New York Times by M. Gessen, who was a prominent gay rights activist in Vladimir Putin’s Russia before escaping to the United States and writing books on Putin’s Russia. Here’s how “they” are identified by the Times: “They won a George Polk award for opinion writing in 2024.” Unfortunately, after less than three months into…

Tonight, the Supreme Court of the United States granted the Trump administration’s venue-based challenge of a U.S. District Court ruling barring deportations of illegal aliens suspected to be Tren de Aragua, pursuant to the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. Except for Univision, the story received a total blackout among “legacy media” evening newscasts.

CNN anchorman Jake Tapper, in 2025, proclaimed on his show that he is NOT on the Left. But in the first Trump term, CNN boss Jeff Zucker made them ALL take a side at CNN. They had to uncork grand speeches. "We call them homilies," said Tapper in 2020. CNN is not a church.

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.

The story of the “Maryland father” deported to El Salvador’s infamous CECOT supermax prison continues to garner “victim porn” coverage on Spanish-language media. But in order for the story to stick, there need to be significant omissions and distortions when discussing the “victim” in this case. 

From March 26 through March 27 ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and MSNBC devoted a total of 119 minutes, 18 seconds to the arrest of Turkish student Rumeysa Ozturk, but just 11 minutes, 42 seconds to the capture of a top MS-13 leader. 

As encounters with illegal aliens along the southwest portion of the border hit all-time lows it is important to remember that, until very recently, it wasn’t always this way. And before our southern border was overrun, Spanish-language media mostly kept quiet about the onslaught that was to come.

The cast of MSNBC’s Thursday installment of Deadline: White House was not a fan of the Trump Administration’s moves to deport Hamas supporters and anti-Semitic students. As they tell it, to do so is to bring the U.S. down to the moral level of “fascist regimes” and “countries behind the Iron Curtain.”

Comedy Central’s Ronny Chieng welcomed Boston Mayor Michelle Wu to the Tuesday taping of The Daily Show for a short two-question interview. Chieng’s first question was simply to ask how Wu became mayor, while the second put the ball on the tee for her to deliver her ode to sanctuary cities. Afterwards, Chieng would heap praise on his guest, telling her she is “the best.”

Before journalist Jeffrey Goldberg’s revelation that he’d been privy to a national security text thread discussing war plans by the Trump White House, the Atlantic’s editor in chief hosted another busy episode of public television’s Washington Week with The Atlantic, where Washington Post columnist David Ignatius and Atlantic writer Michael Scherer helped…
