NewsBusters Podcast: Unhinged Wallace Dominates Trump Speech Hot Takes

March 6th, 2025 5:59 AM

What a difference a year makes. Associate Editor Nick Fondacaro and I 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…

Network Morning Shows Slog Through Recaps of ‘Partisan’ Trump Speech

March 5th, 2025 6:44 PM

On Wednesday morning, it remained evident ABC, CBS, and NBC were still largely uninterested in and almost seemed burdened by having to cover Tuesday night’s address by President Trump to a joint session of Congress. It predictably lacked the ebullience from their takes on Joe Biden’s 2024 State of the Union, but also the outright hostility from the four speeches in Trump’s first term. …

Not Like Last Year: Sedate Networks Scoff at Trump’s ‘Campaign Rally’

March 5th, 2025 10:34 AM

Needless to say, ABC, CBS, and NBC offered far different reactions Tuesday night to President Trump’s address to Congress (think State of the Union, but not granted that title in a president’s first year) than they did in immediately celebrating last year’s partisan State of the Union from Joe Biden. For 2025, they were more lackadaisical in their disdain for Trump’s “intensely partisan” “…

VIDEO: All of the Media’s Stupidest Objections to DOGE Cuts (So Far)

February 26th, 2025 9:59 AM

We all expected the Democrat/corporate media alliance to come up with some bogus reason to oppose the Trump administration’s cuts to government waste, but some of the programs these journalists are mourning are beyond parody. It’s starting to feel like there’s an ongoing bet in the “mainstream press” to see who can find the dumbest possible government project to defend in earnest.

‘Legacy Media’ Avoids Sinaloa Cartel Boss Demanding Return to Mexico

Latino
February 23rd, 2025 10:15 PM

The “legacy media”, weary from conjuring up constitutional crises out of the legitimate wielding of presidential power and downplaying the horrific murder of the Bibas Family, have so far ignored an explosive story with enormous policy implications. The head of the Sinaloa Cartel, currently in U.S. custody, is pressuring the Mexican government into demanding his repatriation, which the…

MSNBC Should Have Read The Email Before Fretting About Info Leaks

February 23rd, 2025 5:25 PM

The panel of MSNBC's The Weekend frets that classified information will be leaked as a result of federal employees responding to an email from the Trump administration requiring them to list five things they did in the last week.  The panelists apparently had not read the email in question which specifically instructs them, in bold letters, "Do Not Send any classified information."…
