During the 2011 debt ceiling fight, the media relentlessly harassed Republican attempts to rein in spending, as journalists demanded tax increases and blasted conservatives as hostage takers and bomb-toting terrorists.

Everywhere one looks these days it appears services and products cost more but deliver less than they once did. That seems especially true when it comes to the federal government. President Biden wants to raise taxes again. Unlikely, given the Republican House majority, but this Tax Day offers us our annual opportunity to explore what we are getting in exchange for what we’re paying Washington…

Instead of making government over-spending an issue, the news media have relentlessly pushed for even more of the nation’s wealth to be handed over to the federal government to spend.

On Thursday, President Biden unveiled his budget proposal for the 2024 fiscal year and the three liberal news networks reacted exactly the way you would have guessed: they ate it up.

The New York Times tried turning the screws on Republican members of Congress who are adamant about President Joe Biden agreeing to spending cuts before the debt ceiling is raised...yet again.

Broadcasting directly from Telemundo´s studios in Miami, Florida, the liberal hostesses of the network´s afternoon talk show La Mesa Caliente (The Hot Table), aired their collective DeSantis derangement by falsely claiming that Floridians will see tax hikes as a result of the end of Walt Disney World´s self-governing status via revocation of the Reedy Creek Improvement District.

The New York Times fawned over a wealthy “tax me please” European heiress in “This Heir to a Fortune Wants It Taken Away for Fairness’ Sake.” Emma Bubola’s loving “Saturday profile” piece bubbled over with a strong undercurrent of sympathy for guilt-ridden leftist economics: "By the time her extraordinarily wealthy grandmother died last month, Marlene Engelhorn already knew who she…
