Elon Musk

PBS News Hour reporter William Brangham dumped a truckload of slime over space entrepreneur and Trump advisor Elon Musk’s head in a 10-minute news piece/hit piece that aired Thursday evening: "Musk changed the platform's policies on hate speech, and when analysts claimed that vitriol then flourished on the renamed X, advertisers balked and the company's value slid. In characteristic…

POLL: What was the worst media take of the week? (Vote below)

When is a story about farmers NOT about farmers? When the farmers are but a narrative device with which the media can stealthily advocate for a preferred policy in peril. In this case, farmers used as human shields so NBC can advocate for the Green New Deal (under its actual name, the Inflation Reduction Act).

On Tuesday night’s episode of MSNBC’s The 11th Hour, Stephanie Ruhle officiated over yet another session of commiseration about the actions of the new administration, with the usual heavy emphasis on Elon Musk and DOGE. Joining her was Reed Galen, author of The Home Front on Substack, who –without evidence – accused the administration and Musk, with media complicity, of leaning on…

MSNBC Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough was the latest in a list of dishonorable media figures to tie President Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s budget-cutting efforts to the idea of additional plane crashes. Unlike other analyses, Scarborough’s ramblings come from someone who likes to style himself as one of the few remaining principled conservatives.

In an lengthy interview with Elon Musk that aired Tuesday on the Fox News Channel with Sean Hannity (and taped late last week), President Trump unsurprisingly found time to lambaste the “bad,” “dangerous,” “horrible” liberal media as he and Musk have stood up the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to shrink and tame the leviathan that is the federal government.

The Trump, Musk, and DOGE-deranged media, consumed with their efforts to undermine government accountability and reform as voted upon by the American people, have completely omitted from viewer consideration a critically important development across our southern border: the CIA’s no-longer-secret drone flights over Mexican cartel laboratories.

We have arrived at the stage of DOGE derangement wherein the media are now poring over the words President Donald Trump uses in describing the ongoing program cuts across several government agencies. Quite frankly, we haven’t seen this much analysis over the definition of a word since Bill Clinton tried to question the meaning of what is is.

There was a potent and toxic combination of righteous indignation and ignorance oozing from ABC News moderator Whoopi Goldberg, during Tuesday’s edition of The View. In addition to blaming the crash of a Delta Airlines flight on the runway of an airport in Toronto, Canada on Elon Musk, she demanded to know: when did she give permission to NASA to sign contracts with Musk’s SpaceX?

Four weeks into the second term of President Trump, it's painfully clear that the "Public Broadcasting Service" loathes Trump and his "government efficiency" czar, billionaire Elon Musk. They don't say the reason out loud, but Musk has made clear he thinks "public" broadcasting should be defunded. He's Public Broadcasting Enemy #1. 

On Tuesday’s edition of CNN’s Inside Politics, aviation correspondent Pete Muntean told host Dana Bash that it appeared the Delta Airlines flight that crashed in Toronto on Monday did so due to a landing gear malfunction. He also noted how there is no common thread linking it with other recent plane crashes, but that didn’t stop Bash and her assembled panel from noticing “this…

The credit card statement contained an unfamiliar charge. I called the fraud department which canceled the payment and immediately sent me a new card. If only the federal government responded with similar alacrity. Instead, the reaction from the exposure and rooting out of fraud – mostly from Democrats – has been shouting profanities and demonstrating outside federal government buildings. Some…

HBO’s John Oliver kicked off the 2025 season of Last Week Tonight on Sunday by recapping the first four weeks of Donald Trump’s return to the White House that included a bit on Elon Musk and DOGE. Oliver would label Musk as “one of the worst white guys South Africa has ever produced” while ignoring questions about whether South Africa really needs or deserves aid. On Monday, Oliver…

Dear readers, we regret to inform you that the new and by-no-means improved CBS Evening News is at it again. This time, turning an otherwise serviceable report on the disappearance of Washington’s birthday into a vessel with which to take a shot at President Donald Trump.
