The media is still covering for the Bidens

Jill Biden recently admitted to CBS News that while she publicly told her husband he did “such a great job” after his disastrous 2024 debate performance, she privately feared he was having a stroke. Across most of the media, that confession was a major story.

But some left-leaning media outlets are still running cover: the major left-leaning publication The Atlantic framed her upcoming memoir as a pushback against “conspiracy theories,” while conspicuously omitting her own deceitful praise of her husband following the debate, even leading calls for “four more years.”

This is the same press corps that spent years telling you your eyes were lying — CNN called concerns about Biden’s mental fitness a “right-wing conspiracy theory” days before the debate, NBC said Republicans were “floating a quiet conspiracy theory” that Biden was too old, and The Independent argued questions about his fitness “weren’t in good faith.”

Mediaite’s founding editor caught fabricating quotes

Colby Hall, who co-founded the left-wing site Mediaite and ran it for 15 years, was suspended last month after his newsletter was found to have fabricated a quote attributed to a reporter at Status News and serially misattributed quotes to journalists at CNN, Fox News, and Politico, among others. He has since departed the site.

His newsletter, One Sheet, was a paid product — meaning subscribers were paying for a curated digest of what media figures actually said, only to receive a newsletter that just made those quotes up. For a site that built its brand on holding the media accountable, it was caught doing exactly what it accused others of doing.

How the NY Times trusts terrorists in its “bombshell” reporting

As we covered last week, New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof published a piece accusing Israeli soldiers of training dogs to rape Palestinian prisoners. We examined the claims and broke down why his sources were not credible. But there is another dimension to Kristof’s journalistic malpractice: he cited data from the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), which claimed that three percent of Palestinian journalists detained by Israel were raped and 29 percent experienced other sexual violence.

However, it is critical to note that CPJ had quietly removed six names from its journalist casualty list in the weeks before publication — names later identified as terror combatants, including a Hamas battalion member and an Islamic Jihad commander.

The on-record source who claimed rape, Sami al-Sai, is a confirmed Hamas operative. CPJ has a long-documented history of listing Hamas and Islamic Jihad-affiliated media workers as journalists. And this is information that the Times allowed to be published, without disclosing any of this.

How the media continually downplayed Medicaid fraud

When conservatives raised alarms about rampant fraud in Minnesota’s social services programs, the media pushed back hard. The New York Times said Somalis were being “targeted.” CNN described a viral video exposing alleged fraud at Somali-run child care centers as making claims “with little evidence.” An MS Now host called fraud cases “isolated” when they were, in fact, extremely widespread.

As covered above, the Justice Department yesterday charged 15 people in connection with over $90 million in fraud across seven Minnesota Medicaid programs — including the two largest Medicaid fraud cases ever charged in the state. The left-leaning media was wrong the whole time. The fraud exists, is ubiquitous, and the federal government is making strong gains in cracking down on it.

BBC frames daughter-selling Afghans as victims

The BBC ran a report on desperate Afghan men selling their young daughters into marriage or domestic servitude — and spent most of it sympathizing with the fathers. The piece described their “weary faces,” “parched lips,” and “distress” in detail, while the fate of the girls — sold to be raped by older men — was treated as an afterthought.

One father, considering selling his seven-year-old twins, described underage marriage as having “its problems.” The BBC quoted it without comment. The girls’ potentially horrific futures were framed as a cultural tradition involving a “marital gift.”

Eric Holder condemns Republican gerrymandering but forgot Dems do it too

Eric Holder, Obama’s former attorney general, wrote an op-ed in The New York Times calling Republican redistricting an attack on democracy. He did acknowledge California Democrats redrew their maps for partisan advantage — but framed it as a reluctant defensive move forced by Republicans. What he didn’t mention: Illinois Democrats drew one of the most aggressively gerrymandered maps in the country, and Republicans hold zero House seats across all of New England despite millions of Republican voters living there.

It should be noted: Holder has spent his post-AG career running a redistricting organization (the National Democratic Redistricting Committee) that has redrawn maps specifically to benefit Democrats.

No, Zohran Mamdani did not “balance the budget”

Mainstream outlets are celebrating that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is “solving” the city’s $12 billion budget deficit, supposedly without cutting services or raising taxes on working people. In reality, most of it is just a bailout from the New York State government. His largest “savings” item is $1.64 billion in reduced pension debt payments — money the city still owes, just pushed to a later date.

The plan extends New York City’s pension repayment timeline by five years, meaning future taxpayers will pay more to cover both the delayed contributions and the investment returns that money would have earned. Chicago tried the same trick for decades, and its police and firefighters’ pension target date has now been pushed to 2060. Mamdani said his budget exemplifies the power of Democratic Socialism. It’s really just kicking the can down the road.

NY Times doubles down on Israeli dog-rape allegations

When The New York Times’ Nicholas Kristof published allegations that Israeli forces used trained dogs to rape Palestinian detainees, the claim had a clear paper trail: it originated with an NGO whose chairman was photographed with Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, was amplified by Qatar-owned Al Jazeera and a UN rapporteur with a documented history of spreading misinformation, and went viral social media through accounts flagged for posting fake content.

There is no forensic evidence, authenticated footage, or independently verifiable victim. The Times then issued a statement — not explaining the credibility of its sources — but simply claiming that it trusts and stands by Kristof’s reporting.

5/12/26

NY Times under fire for extremely dubious allegations against Israel

The New York Times has come under heavy criticism after it published a major report on alleged systematic sexual violence by Israel, including claims that IDF soldiers were training dogs to rape Palestinian prisoners. The story was sourced largely from a man that author Nick Kristof described as a “freelance journalist.”

What the Times didn’t mention: the source, Sami al-Sai, has a documented record of celebrating terrorist attacks on social media. He called the founder of a terrorist group responsible for multiple deadly attacks “our martyred prince,” and posted triumphantly about Hamas’ October 7 massacre the day after it happened, while Israelis were still counting their dead. He also gave two contradictory versions of his own abuse story to different outlets. The Times published his account anyway without disclosing any of this.

5/11/26

NY Times omits left-wing political violence

The New York Times cited — just days after the White House Correspondent’s Dinner attempted assassination — a 2022 study to claim that “most political violence comes from the far right.” The study’s data cuts off before 2018, meaning the BLM riots, which caused over $1 billion in damage and 30 deaths, aren’t in it. It also only counts violence prosecutors explicitly label as ideological, so hundreds arrested during the George Floyd riots don’t count.

Further, the suspect in 2025’s Palisades wildfire was just revealed to have been set by a far-left arsonist who would rave about the evils of billionaires. The Times didn’t mention that either, meaning they are not giving their readers the truth about left-wing political violence.

Apple News still blacklisting conservative news

Apple News went 100 days without featuring a single article from a conservative outlet before finally promoting a Fox News story about an actor’s death — only after the FTC warned Apple it may be violating federal consumer protection laws. The following month, conservative outlets made up just 1.4 percent of top stories while left-leaning outlets accounted for 75 percent. Apple’s editorial team is led by a former New York Times Magazine and New York Magazine editor. The FTC is still investigating.

NY Times finds new respect for Tucker Carlson

In 2022, The New York Times devoted a ten-person team to a three-part series calling Tucker Carlson’s show “the most racist show in the history of cable news.” This week, the same paper sent a reporter to Maine for a mostly friendly two-hour sit-down with him.

What changed? Carlson turned on Trump over the Iran war. This matters because the Times isn’t covering Tucker Carlson because they suddenly respect him — he has simply become useful for the Left as a hammer to use against President Trump, elevating him as a reasonable “anti-war” voice on the Right.

NY Times says enforcing immigration law is racial discrimination

The New York Times claimed this week that if racial discrimination in college admissions is unconstitutional, then ICE stopping suspected illegal migrants should be too. This argument essentially means that immigration law can’t be enforced at all.

One of their examples was a Guatemalan woman who was stopped while retrieving a car for someone ICE had just arrested, who “bit and attacked” an agent during the stop. She was released once agents confirmed her legal status. The Times called it racial profiling, while the Department of Homeland Security would call this normal law enforcement.

Media and top Dems lied about WHCD shooter’s motive

When Cole Allen was arrested at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, MS NOW’s reporter said his writings were “not aligned to one specific ideology” and that he wasn’t “entirely sure what that means in terms of a motive.” Barack Obama issued a similar statement saying “we don’t yet have the details about the motives” — despite the manifesto being public knowledge by that point.

Allen’s manifesto made it abundantly clear that his motivations were to kill President Trump and top officials because he was a leftist who detested Republicans. The media and Barack Obama simply lied about this.

4/29/26

The media is already back to calling Trump a Nazi

Two nights after a third attempt on Trump’s life, Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O’Donnell went live on MS NOW, calling immigration detention centers “concentration camps” — language deliberately chosen to invoke Nazi imagery.

This isn’t new, either. In a defamation suit MSNBC settled last year, internal messages from host Chris Hayes showed they deliberately chose language to conjure “Third Reich” imagery in viewers’ heads.

4/28/26

Media implies that Trump had it coming

When Cole Allen opened fire at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner — explicitly targeting administration officials according to his own manifesto — CBS’ Norah O’Donnell sat down with Trump the next day and asked why the gunman had called him a “pedophile, rapist, and traitor.” CNN’s Chuck Todd then went on air and said repeatedly that “only a president can dial down the rhetoric” and that “it is on the president.”

The media is asserting that Trump is responsible for creating the political environment that makes people want to kill him — completely ignoring the openly homicidal motivations of many of the president’s opponents.

4/27/26

The View host makes outrageous claim on the cost of the Iran war

On The View, co-host Sunny Hostin claimed the Iran war has already cost $50 billion — and that this exceeds everything the US has spent since World War II. In reality, the total US government spending since WWII runs into the tens of trillions. Some Iran war trackers confirm Hostin’s $50 billion figure, and the most zealous estimates suggest the cost could eventually approach $1 trillion — but even that is nowhere near all US spending since 1945.

Even if Hostin meant all military spending since WWII, this would not even be accurate, as the Vietnam War alone cost $168 billion (or about $1 trillion in today’s dollars).

4/23/26

Media buries and downplays the SPLC indictment

After the DOJ charged the Southern Poverty Law Center with funneling over $3 million to white supremacist groups, the media went to work covering for them. USA Today compared the SPLC’s conduct to standard FBI practice. The New York Times framed conservative criticism as just another “Republicans pounce.” CBS described the indicted group as one that “tracks white supremacist and other hate groups” — without mentioning that it was just charged with funding them.

4/21/26

Media lied about Pete Hegseth quoting a Pulp Fiction bible verse

Media outlets, including Variety and People, implied Sec. of War Pete Hegseth embarrassingly quoted the movie Pulp Fiction at a Pentagon prayer service, thinking it was scripture. But in the full remarks — which the circulating video clip conveniently cut off — Hegseth explained the prayer came from the Air Force rescue unit that saved the downed pilot in Iran, and said with a laugh that it’s “meant to reflect Ezekiel 25:17.” He knew that it was not a real bible quote, but the media ran with it anyway.

Left-leaning media ignore $267M Medicare fraud scandal

California’s hospice system has been bleeding Medicare dry — over 700 hospices in Los Angeles County alone have been flagged for fraud, 21 people have been arrested, and $267 million has been stolen from taxpayers. CBS has covered it. Fox News has covered it. ABC, NBC, and MSNBC have not aired a single segment about it on their morning or evening newscasts.

4/15/26

Mainstream outlets ran the same Pro-China spin on the same day

The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Associated Press all published nearly identical stories on April 13 claiming the Iran war was a win for China’s renewable energy sector. The problem is that China gets 71 percent of its energy from coal, with wind and solar combined at just 5.4 percent. The AP’s key expert quote came from an institute funded by the same left-wing foundations that fund the AP’s climate desk — a detail the story left out.

Politico manipulated disaster relief data to hit Trump

Politico claimed that President Trump approves disaster aid for red states at nearly four times the rate of blue states — but that required some serious data gymnastics. Out of 2,500 disaster declarations, they narrowed their dataset to 45 by filtering for only “Major Disaster” designations and defining “blue state” so strictly that it excluded hurricane-hit North Carolina entirely. When you apply straightforward definitions to the full dataset, the partisan gap largely disappears.

4/10/26

Iran propaganda shared by leftist influencers and media outlets

In late March, Iran circulated a shaky video claiming it had destroyed a US F/A-18 fighter jet. The clip quickly racked up tens of millions of views — amplified by Iranian embassies, Russian state media, bot accounts, and leftist American influencers who shared it without verification. US Central Command denied any aircraft had been shot down, and no evidence of a shootdown has emerged since.

Debunking WaPo’s LGBT book ban narrative

The Washington Post profiled a Tennessee librarian fired for refusing to move 130+ LGBT books to the adult section — but never told readers what the books actually say. It took The Daily Wire to name them: titles like “Who Are You? The Kids Guide to Gender Identity” and a picture book about a girl who starts identifying as a boy. The Post also skipped the fact that children can still access the moved books with parental approval — meaning it was never actually a ban.

4/6/26

Leftist outlet pushed Iranian propaganda on missing US pilot

While American special forces were conducting rescue operations for a missing US pilot in Iran, Drop Site News amplified a claim from Iranian state-linked Tasnim News alleging US forces were bombing the area “attempting to kill him” — not recover him. The sourcing was a single anonymous “military source” from a regime with every incentive to lie. The US then successfully recovered the pilot.

NY Times Forced To Redact EMBARRASSING Hit Piece – NewsRanger, 4/6/26. The New York Times attempted to dismantle President Trump’s tax reform with hard numbers but ended up proving the opposite.

NY Times rejects Christian genocide in Nigeria

The New York Times took a jab at US Rep. Riley Moore (R-WV) when he called out the paper’s refusal to acknowledge the savage and ongoing slaughter of Nigerian Christians at the hands of radical Islamists. The Times falsely suggested the violence in Nigeria is mainly driven by criminal actors rather than Islamist groups specifically targeting Christians.

Daily Mail twists “inconclusive” Charlie Kirk evidence

A sensational Daily Mail headline claimed the bullet used to kill Charlie Kirk “did NOT match” the suspect’s rifle, suggesting a major break in the case. In reality, the ATF found the bullet fragment was too damaged to compare, meaning there wasn’t enough evidence to determine a match either way. The defense isn’t claiming it proves Tyler Robinson’s innocence, but is instead focusing on challenging the forensic methods used.

Politico published then deleted an antisemitic cartoon

A cartoon published by Politico attempted to criticize the war in Iran by depicting President Donald Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Republican lawmakers wearing blood-soaked Jewish prayer shawls and yarmulkes. After backlash and reporting highlighting the imagery, Politico removed the cartoon.

Pete Hegseth’s pastor accused of calling for a Democrats’ death

Dozens of left-leaning accounts online circulated a clip claiming Pete Hegseth’s pastor and adviser, Brooks Potteiger, said he hoped God would “crucify” Texas Democrat James Talarico, framing it as a literal call for violence. In reality, the comments were made on a podcast discussing Christian theology, where “death” and “crucifixion” were clearly used as metaphors for spiritual rebirth, referencing Galatians 2:20.

3/25/26

ABC tries to turn TSA against ICE

ABC News ran a segment highlighting that ICE agents are getting paid while TSA officers are not, deliberately pitting two agencies within the same department against each other amid the partial government shutdown. Notably, they interviewed Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine (VA) while no Republican was asked to respond, which would have invited the obvious point that ICE and TSA are funded through entirely separate budget bills.

CNN glosses over Rama Duwaji’s terrorist sympathies

CNN wrote an article on Rama Duwaji, the wife of NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, covering how she is facing “new scrutiny” over her “art and social media.” However, the article completely omitted all of the radical, terror-supporting posts she has liked on social media, only briefly stating that “there have been subsequent revelations” about her posts.

CNN is still pushing the five-year-old detained by ICE story

CNN on Friday repeated a debunked story, framing 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos as a child snatched from his family by ICE agents — but as we debunked in February, federal agents were attempting to detain his father, who fled and left the child alone outside, while his mother refused to open the door to reunite with her son. An immigration judge has since denied the family’s asylum claim through the normal legal process, a detail CNN omits.

3/20/26

No, Netanyahu did not mock Jesus

A clip of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu went viral with a caption showing that he said “Jesus Christ has no advantage over Genghis Khan” — sending social media into a frenzy over what many took as a direct attack on Christianity. In reality, Netanyahu was summarizing an argument made by historian Will Durant in his book “The Lessons of History,” which argues that in the brutal reality of geopolitics, good does not automatically triumph over evil — and that strength is required to defeat it.

3/19/26

NBC aired pro-Cuba segment without mentioning communism

NBC News ran a report from inside a Cuban hospital blaming the country’s humanitarian crisis on the US energy embargo — without using the words Castro, dictatorship, communism, or regime even once. Further, the hospital featured in the segment bore little resemblance to the decrepit facilities ordinary Cubans actually use, a classic sign of regime-curated access designed to control the narrative.

CNN claimed independent reporting from Iran. Its own correspondent said otherwise

CNN has insisted it “maintains full editorial control over what it reports” while reporting inside Iran, but foreign correspondent Frederik Pleitgen’s own words described a regime-appointed handler who controlled where he could go, locations he was barred from visiting, and a requirement to notify IRGC officials before approaching any strike sites. In other words, the Iranian government was deciding what CNN could and couldn’t show its audience.

3/17/26

CNN walked back story claiming White House had no war plan

CNN reported that Trump’s national security team had “failed to fully account for the potential consequences” of Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz, citing anonymous sources. The White House pushed back hard, with press secretary Karoline Leavitt calling it “100% fake news” and pointing out that the Pentagon had planned for exactly this scenario for decades. CNN quietly updated the story with a clarification noting that top officials had, in fact, briefed lawmakers on long-standing military plans.

3/16/26

CNN staff attended an Iranian regime party

CNN’s London bureau chief and chief global affairs correspondent attended a February 12 Iranian Embassy celebration, supposedly as journalists, but there was reportedly no camera crew, recording equipment, or press credentials present, and neither official filed a report or posted about the event afterward. This suggests the CNN officials attended as private guests, not journalists, at a party celebrating the regime on the same day a human rights group reported it had killed at least 7,000 of its own citizens.

ABC omitted Hezbollah ties in synagogue attack coverage

ABC News reported that the suspect in the Michigan synagogue attack had relatives killed in an Israeli airstrike, but reports from other outlets noted that some of those relatives were members of the terrorist group Hezbollah, a key detail the network did not mention in its coverage. The suspect was also reportedly found to have suspected Hezbollah contacts in his phone, information that likewise went unreported by ABC.

White House debunks ABC News report about Iranian drone threat

ABC News reported that the FBI warned California law enforcement about a potential Iranian drone attack on the West Coast. We at Upward News also reported this in our newsletter yesterday. However, the White House said the alert cited in the story was based on a single unverified tip, a key detail officials say ABC initially left out. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said there was no credible threat to the US homeland.

CNN’s Abby Phillip falsely claims NYC terror attack targeted Mamdani

CNN’s Abby Phillip stated on air that the recent ISIS-inspired terror attack in New York was aimed at Mayor Zohran Mamdani, and contributor Ana Navarro repeated the same claim during the segment. But the suspects were accused of throwing homemade bombs into a crowd of anti-Muslim protesters outside Mamdani’s residence — not at Mamdani himself.

3/11/26

CNN backtracks after sympathetic framing of NYC terror suspects

CNN faced backlash after a social media post about two suspects accused of throwing homemade bombs at a protest outside New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s residence described them as teenagers whose “normal day” in the city suddenly went wrong. CNN later deleted the post because it clearly downplayed an intentional, ISIS-inspired attack.

Debunking the claim that Karoline Leavitt called for a draft

Some have suggested that White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the US might institute a military draft while discussing the conflict with Iran. But during her interview with Maria Bartiromo on Fox News, Leavitt said the campaign has been “largely an air campaign” and “will continue to be,” adding that sending ground troops is “not part of the current plan right now.” The draft was only mentioned as a concern raised in Bartiromo’s question about what some mothers fear could happen — Leavitt did not mention it at all.

Mainstream media omit Texas shooter’s Muslim identity

After the mass shooting in Austin, Texas that left three people dead and 14 others injured, both CNN and MS NOW reported details about the suspect — a naturalized US citizen who was originally from Senegal — but did not identify him as Muslim in on-air coverage. Law enforcement found he was wearing a sweatshirt with “Property of Allah” and a shirt with an Iranian flag design during the attack. Multiple segments mentioned his background and clothing but avoided using the word “Muslim.”

Debunking Tucker Carlson’s Mossad claim

Conservative commentator Tucker Carlson claimed Saudi Arabia and Qatar had arrested Israeli Mossad agents for plotting bombings in Gulf countries. But Qatar’s foreign ministry quickly pushed back against the allegation, saying it had no information about Mossad cells operating inside its borders. Qatar is also on Israel’s side in this conflict, helping to take out Iranian drones and IRGC sleeper cells.

Rubio didn’t say Israel dragged the US into war

A short clip of Secretary of State Marco Rubio making the rounds online supposedly shows him claiming that Israel forced the US into conflict with Iran. In the full press conference, Rubio was responding to a narrow question about why the strike was launched “now,” explaining that the US believed Iran would retaliate against American forces and Israel once Israeli action began — and that the administration chose to act preemptively rather than wait for those attacks to occur.

Mainstream media’s outrageous obituaries of Khamenei

The New York Times and The Washington Post described Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as a merely “hard-line cleric” with an “easy smile,” glossing over the fact that under his leadership, Iran has been the world’s foremost state sponsor of terrorism — backing groups like Hezbollah and other proxies responsible for killing Americans and US troops and targeting Western interests for decades.

Debunking Iran’s false claims about US–Israel strikes

After Iran told the UN it had targeted only US military assets — and even claimed it hit the USS Abraham Lincoln — US Central Command refuted the statements, listing multiple civilian sites Tehran allegedly struck and confirming the carrier was untouched. This undercuts Iran’s narrative that its response was limited and confined to military targets.

Washington Post’s whitewashes Candace Owens’ Erika Kirk doc

The Washington Post framed Candace Owens’ new video series targeting Erika Kirk as an effort to “unearth secrets” about her past and leadership of TPUSA. Missing from the post is a key detail: Owens has presented no concrete evidence of wrongdoing — relying instead on speculation and personal attacks. WaPo instead presented it as investigative intrigue rather than what it truly is: an unsubstantiated smear campaign.

Exposing NY Times’ double standard on Olympic athletes and Trump

The New York Times praised American-born skier Eileen Gu — who was paid millions to compete for China — as a global superstar, while criticizing the US men’s Olympic hockey team for visiting President Trump after winning gold, claiming they “lost the room.” Celebrating an American athlete representing a geopolitical rival while scolding Americans for meeting their own president highlights the Times’ obvious double standard.

Debunking a poll showing James Fishback has massive youth support

A University of North Florida poll was circulated as evidence that Florida gubernatorial candidate James Fishback is surging among 18–34-year-old Republican voters, but that subgroup included just 39 respondents, meaning roughly 12 people supported him. Using such a tiny sample — with a high margin of error — to claim a major youth wave is statistical sleight of hand and not evidence of real support.

Media quickly buried third Trump assassination attempt

After an armed intruder breached Mar-a-Lago with a shotgun and was subsequently killed — in what was described as a third assassination attempt against President Trump — the story quickly faded from mainstream media headlines. The subdued coverage contrasted with the sustained attention typically given to threats against Democratic officials.

2/23/26

CBS reporter gaslights on the media calling Trump racist

During a White House briefing, CBS News’ Ed O’Keefe asked for examples of President Trump being “falsely called racist,” despite CBS and other outlets repeatedly using that label — from the long-debunked “very fine people” Charlottesville story to Trump telling progressive House members to “go back where they came from” if they dislike American policies. In full context, Trump condemned white nationalists and criticized lawmakers’ policy preferences, not their race.

2/20/26

NY Times admits that left-wing judges are Trump’s main resistance

In a New York Times column, CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin wrote that Democrat-appointed federal judges have been the “most effective resistance” to President Trump’s agenda and highlighted efforts to appoint more as a “bulwark” against him. The piece openly frames the judiciary as the primary vehicle for blocking Trump’s policies, rather than simply interpreting the law.

Debunking Colbert’s claims of government censorship

After late-night host Stephen Colbert implied the Federal Communications Commission blocked his interview with Texas Democrat James Talarico from airing on television, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr asserted that there was “no censorship at all,” noting that CBS could have aired the interview nationally while excluding Texas stations, since equal-time rules apply only where the candidate is on the ballot.

Media spins trans identity in Rhode Island shooting

Major outlets like The New York Times and the Associated Press largely avoided detailing that Robert Dorgan, who killed his son and the boy’s mother at a Rhode Island hockey game, identified as transgender — instead referring to him generically as the “shooter” or noting he “went by” another name.

2/17/26

Debunking the NY Times “cult of personality” trope for Trump

The New York Times ran a 3,000-word front-page “analysis” likening President Trump’s self-promotion to a dictator-style “cult of personality,” invoking Stalin and Mao. But the gold statue and crypto-funded artwork the Times cites weren’t commissioned by Trump, and the paper willfully ignored the years of media-fueled adulation surrounding Barack Obama and his “cult of personality.”

2/16/26

Media spins the Canadian transgender shooting

Major outlets such as The New York Times, The Associated Press, CNN, and others referred to an 18-year-old male suspect in a Canadian school shooting as “she” and “her,” reinforcing the idea that one’s gender identity overrides biological sex even in basic crime reporting. The suspect, however, is a male, and began “transitioning” to female at the age of 12.

Irishman claims he’s being held in an ICE “concentration camp”

The Independent reported that Irish national Seamus Culleton has been held in an ICE “concentration camp” for five months despite having a valid work permit and being married to a US citizen. But DHS says Culleton entered under the 90-day visa waiver program in 2009, overstayed for 16 years, and received a final order of removal from an immigration judge after full due process. Officials say he was offered immediate removal to Ireland but chose to remain in detention while contesting his case.

NBC report alleges toddler denied care in ICE custody

NBC News reported that an 18-month-old hospitalized with respiratory failure was returned to ICE detention and denied prescribed medication, citing a federal lawsuit. But the Department of Homeland Security claims the “entire story is a lie,” saying the child received immediate treatment, was hospitalized for eight days at a children’s hospital, and was returned only after being cleared by a pediatric doctor.

2/11/26

MS NOW spins ICE program into election conspiracy

MS NOW (formerly MSNBC) suggested ICE is “buying off” local police through the long-standing 287(g) program to act as a Trump-aligned “paramilitary” force aimed at influencing elections. But the program, created in the 1990s and used under multiple administrations, is a voluntary cooperation agreement that reimburses local departments for immigration-related costs — not a mechanism for bribery or election interference.

2/10/26

Media falsely claims vast majority of arrested migrants are nonviolent

CBS News reported that fewer than 14 percent of migrants arrested by ICE under President Trump faced violent crime charges. But Homeland Security says the figure hinges on narrow definitions that classify crimes like drug trafficking, child pornography distribution, human smuggling, burglary, fraud, and DUI as “nonviolent,” masking the fact that roughly 70 percent of those arrested had pending criminal charges or prior convictions.

2/5/26

Apple News excluding right-leaning outlets

Apple News — which is used by over 100M people — did not feature a single right-leaning outlet among its top stories in January, despite publishing hundreds of articles from left-leaning and center-left sources. Because the platform is curated by editors rather than algorithms, the exclusion reflects an active editorial choice.

The View invokes the Holocaust to excuse Don Lemon

Joy Behar defended “journalist” Don Lemon and the agitators who disrupted a St. Paul church service by falsely claiming the First Amendment protected their actions, even comparing Lemon’s presence to journalists documenting Nazi concentration camps. This ignores the actual law prohibiting the disruption of religious services and mistakes freedom of the press with what actually happened: trespassing and obstruction.

Media ignores Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Grammys appearance

Coverage of Supreme Court ethics has gone quiet after Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson attended a Grammys ceremony where performers openly trashed ICE and the Trump administration. The same outlets that inflated minor controversies involving conservative justices have shown little interest in Jackson appearing at an overtly partisan event.

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, in a recent tearful monologue about the Minneapolis shootings, suggested federal agents “executed” innocent citizens. Kimmel offered no evidence for the claim and ignored the Americans killed or harmed by illegal migrants, including victims of well-documented and uncontested crimes like sex trafficking and child abuse.

Viral coverage falsely implies Border Patrol shooting was unprovoked

Several legacy outlets rushed out headlines tying an Arizona Border Patrol shooting to events in Minnesota, suggesting reckless or politically motivated force. In reality, the man shot was an alleged human trafficker who fired on agents first — a key fact many headlines initially omitted or left unchanged.

Viral claim falsely alleges ICE targeted an elementary school

A viral post claimed ICE agents were circling an elementary school to intimidate children, but although ICE has the authority to do so, agents do not enter schools to arrest children or adults. Instead of entering the school, agents typically wait for a targeted individual as they walk out to their car.

Was the US Border Patrol chief fired?

The Atlantic reported that Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino was removed from his “commander at large” role and is returning to California, where he’s expected to retire soon. DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin then claimed that Bovino “has NOT been relieved of his duties.” While Bovino was not technically fired, he was stripped of his commander role and sent back to his prior regional post.

NY Times omits key detail in Minneapolis shooting coverage

The New York Times led its coverage of the Minnesota shooting without mentioning that the man threatening federal agents was armed. By leaving out that central fact, the story framed the incident as unjustified federal violence while stripping readers of the critical context needed to understand the situation.

Democrats claim ICE used a 5-year-old as “human bait”

Democrats claimed that ICE targeted a preschooler and tried to use him as “human bait,” but the Department of Homeland Security says agents were arresting the child’s father, who fled and abandoned the boy. An ICE officer stayed with the child for his safety while the father was apprehended, following standard procedures used across administrations.

1/22/26

Mainstream TV networks pins Minneapolis violence on ICE

Broadcast networks devoted more than 93 percent negative coverage to ICE while largely ignoring why agents were there in the first place. Key facts — such as Renee Good striking an ICE agent with her car — were minimized or framed as mere “claims,” creating a narrative that blamed federal agents while stripping away the context that explains the confrontation.

1/21/26

Debunking the claim that Americans pay 96 percent of tariffs

A widely cited German study claims that Americans pay nearly all the costs of tariffs because average import prices went up, but that can happen simply because cheaper foreign products disappeared, not because prices actually rose. And the study never checks what consumers paid at the store, so it assumes Americans paid the full cost rather than actually proving it.

1/20/26

Viral post claims ICE terrorized an elderly citizen

Leftist journalist Ed Krassenstein asserted that ICE brutally dragged an elderly US citizen into sub-zero cold without cause, portraying the raid as needlessly cruel. However, DHS says the operation was targeting two convicted sex offenders, that the citizen lived at the site, matched the suspects’ description, refused identification, and was briefly detained under standard protocol.

NY Times shifts focus from anti-ICE violence to hurt feelings

The New York Times focused an entire article on conservatives’ use of the acronym “AWFUL” to criticize liberal white women involved in anti-ICE protests, while not mentioning a single time the violence perpetrated against immigration officers. They instead cited liberal academics who call the Trump administration “heavily misogynist.”

1/16/25

Media obscures a violent attack on ICE

This week, ICE officers in Minneapolis shot in the leg an illegal alien from Venezuela who, with others, allegedly beat federal immigration agents with shovels and broom handles. However, outlets like The New York Times and The BBC stripped that context from their social media headlines, leaving readers with the impression that a “Minneapolis man” was shot without justification.

1/15/26

Media downplays anti-ICE violence in Minneapolis coverage

Mainstream media’s morning shows repeatedly framed clashes between ICE and protesters as unprovoked aggression, taking activists’ claims at face value while omitting key context about obstruction, fireworks, and vehicles being struck. DHS and ICE have repeatedly said that force is only used in response to escalating threats.

DHS debunks viral claim that ICE sexually abused a detainee

A viral video from Minnesota appeared to show an ICE agent entering a porta-potty with a woman in custody and prompted social media posts alleging sexual abuse by immigration agents.

DHS debunks Ilhan Omar’s “ICE is disappearing citizens” claim

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) claimed ICE is “disappearing” US citizens at anti-ICE protests. The Department of Homeland Security called this a “ridiculous lie,” stating ICE does not arrest or deport US citizens except in cases involving obstruction or assault. Officials say the claim fuels misinformation as assaults on ICE agents have surged more than 1,300 percent.

Debunking Bernie Sanders’ accusations against Israel

Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) claimed that Israel is forcing NGOs like Doctors Without Borders to shut down aid in Gaza. But in reality, these groups represent less than one percent of aid and stopped operations after refusing basic registration and security rules meant to keep assistance from reaching Hamas.

Debunking PolitiFact’s “check both sides” policy

PolitiFact’s editor claimed the outlet treats Democrats and Republicans equally. But in 2025, Republicans were rated “Mostly False” or worse 124 times, compared to just 17 Democrats — a tilt of about 7 to 1. For all the talk of neutrality, the numbers show PolitiFact overwhelmingly targets the GOP.

Washington Post dodges the real reason vaccine trust collapsed

The Washington Post reported falling childhood vaccination rates and blamed distrust, polarization, and “misinformation.” In reality, trust eroded after COVID-era officials overstated certainties, suppressed dissent, quietly revised failed claims, and refused any honest audit of potential vaccine harms.

1/5/26

Homeland Security debunks fake CNN narrative

CNN claimed the Trump administration was abruptly cutting FEMA disaster response staff. However, the Department of Homeland Security says the move was a routine adjustment of 50 term-limited positions out of roughly 8,000 — not mass layoffs, but standard staffing changes based on need and funding.

NPR targets Nick Shirley’s fraud investigation while sidestepping the issue

NPR focused its reporting on scrutinizing conservative YouTuber Nick Shirley’s background and credibility rather than investigating his claims of large-scale Somali fraud in Minnesota. In a viral video, Shirley went to Minnesota investigate Somali daycares to uncover the full extent of the fraud — something NPR has not done.

CBS chief legal correspondent calls out media’s fake narrative

Much of the left-leaning media has pushed claims that the Supreme Court is corrupt and acting on President Trump’s behalf.

MS NOW claims Somalis are being “scapegoated”

MS NOW (formerly MSNBC) analyst Mara Gay claimed Somalis in Minnesota are being unfairly targeted by the far right amid the massive fraud scandal. However, out of 92 individuals charged so far with stealing billions from social programs, 82 are Somali-American.

Media claims ICE abducted an innocent bicycle rider

A Columbus Dispatch reporter portrayed an ICE arrest as masked agents tackling a man on a bicycle and abducting him in an unmarked car.

The arrest targeted Fernandez Flores, a criminal illegal alien with a prior conviction.

12/24/25

Democrats revive a long-debunked smear against Trump

Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) and others pointed to a tip in the Epstein files of a woman accusing Donald Trump of rape. However, this old claim has been debunked: the lawsuit was filed anonymously, dismissed, refiled, and then dropped again, never proceeding to trial or producing corroborating evidence.

Axios slams Bari Weiss while ignoring crucial details

Axios framed CBS editor-in-chief Bari Weiss pulling a 60 Minutes segment on deportations to El Salvador’s CECOT prison as politically motivated after Trump publicly complained. However, the segment was pulled because producers failed to include on-the-record responses from the Trump administration to give them a fair shake.

12/21/25

Tulsi Gabbard blasts Reuters’ “propaganda”

Reuters claimed that US intelligence assesses Vladimir Putin’s territorial ambitions remain unchanged, potentially threatening peace efforts.

Media falsely claim Belgium is “Russia’s most valuable asset”

Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever was attacked by Europe’s mainstream media for refusing to seize Russian assets to give to Ukraine. But De Weaver was always open to doing so: he just wanted assurances that the rest of the EU would back him up if Russia sued in international courts.

Brian Stelter claims Trump defamation suits threaten free speech

CNN’s Brian Stelter framed Trump’s lawsuits against outlets like the BBC as an attack on free speech, but the cases center on proven misrepresentation and deceptive editing — actions which are likely defamatory and thus illegal.

12/15/25

Media claims SCOTUS is handing Trump unchecked power

Legacy outlets are warning that the Supreme Court could make Trump “king” by backing him in Trump v. Slaughter, but the case simply asks whether presidents can remove officials in “independent agencies.” Overturning 1935’s Humphrey’s Executor would limit the bureaucracy’s ability to sabotage elected presidents.

12/12/25

House Democrats falsely claimed a veteran was deported

In a hearing, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was asked why she deported veteran Sae Joon Park. But Park was not deported: he self-deported after having failed to adhere to a removal order for drug charges 15 years ago.

12/11/25

“The View” reduces Somalia–Norway differences to race

The hosts of “The View” claimed Trump’s criticism of Somali welfare fraud and praise for Scandinavian immigrants was racism, ignoring the obvious political, economic, and security differences between Somalia — a failed state with active terror factions — and stable, orderly nations in Northern Europe.

12/10/25

NY Times tries to spin Dems’ immigration record

12/8/25

Viral story of a “wrongly detained” woman falls apart

Online posts painted a US citizen as an innocent victim of federal overreach, but Homeland Security says she refused lawful orders during a stop tied to her illegal migrant boyfriend’s arrest. After confirming her identity, agents released her.

12/6/25

Interventionists misrepresent Trump’s new foreign policy

European leaders and pro-interventionists were outraged by the new National Security Strategy, with one analyst writing that America was “burning its assets.” But these critics miss — perhaps willfully — that the administration simply doesn’t see those assets as vital to America’s national interest.

Democrats’ hypocrisy on double-strike military operations

WaPo’s “war crime” claim against Hegseth falls apart

The Washington Post claimed Pete Hegseth ordered troops to “kill everybody” after a Venezuelan drug-boat strike, but New York Times reporting contradicted the story, noting Hegseth gave no such follow-up order — revealing the Post omitted key context that undercut its narrative.

12/2/25

NY Times admits the problem with Somali immigration

The New York Times admitted that Somali migrants were “raised in a culture” where stealing from corrupt governments was common, even as it framed Minnesota’s sweeping welfare-fraud crisis as a narrow scandal, downplaying hundreds of millions in stolen taxpayer funds.

12/1/25

ABC amplifies a Hegseth hit piece, ignoring his rebuttal

ABC News pushed The Washington Post’s claim that War Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered a second strike on a narco-terrorist boat to “kill everybody.” However, Hegseth provided a detailed defense that the targets were indeed narco-terrorists, overlooking experts who said survivors could still coordinate attacks.

11/28/25

Democrats distort who ICE is arresting

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) shared a pie chart claiming that over 80 percent of arrested migrants had no convictions or minor offenses, such as traffic tickets. But ICE officials countered that 70 percent have criminal charges or convictions; the pie chart included only those who have been convicted.

CNN denies Mamdani’s calls for property seizure

Democrats spin the unreleased October jobs report

Networks hide Democrat video urging military to defy Trump

Politico buries its botched transgender “fact-check”

Media buries key facts about Trump shooter

New reporting shows would-be assassin Thomas Crooks left years of violent threats, extremist posts, and clear warning signs — contradicting the official claim he had no motive or digital footprint.

Media pushes false claim about Dan Bongino’s FBI appointment

Democrats falsely said Trump spent Thanksgiving with Jeffrey Epstein

Media distorts the scope of a Supreme Court gay marriage case

Major media outlets framed the Court’s refusal to hear Kim Davis’s appeal as a reaffirmation of same-sex marriage rights.

11/12/25

CBS calls Antifa riot “mostly peaceful”

CBS News Bay Area downplayed violent Antifa attacks outside TPUSA’s UC Berkeley event, describing the chaos as “mostly peaceful.” In reality, masked militants lit flares, assaulted attendees, hurled objects at police, and issued death threats, forcing riot officers to intervene as arrests piled up.

Networks quietly admit Democrats caused the shutdown

NY Times panics over the socialist mayor it helped create

After boosting Zohran Mamdani’s rise, The New York Times is now begging the socialist mayor-elect to embrace “pragmatism and compromise.” The paper that once championed the far-left policies that helped drive New York’s decline now fears Mamdani may actually put them into practice.

Zohran Mamdani pushes fake 9/11 sob story

Gavin Newsom pushes fake narrative that he grew up poor

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) claimed recently he grew up poor, eating Wonder Bread and hustling to survive — yet in his younger years, he was featured as a “society kid” from one of California’s richest counties.

NY Times dismisses American heritage as a “myth”

PBS uses interview to smear Trump and discredit SCOTUS

CBS turns disgraced DOJ lawyer into anti-Trump martyr

60 Minutes painted fired Justice Department attorney Erez Reuveni as a heroic truth-teller exposing a “lawless” Trump administration. However, Reuveni was dismissed for refusing to represent the US in court, and his claims of the Trump DOJ skirting the law have been contradicted by internal memos.

NY Times twists ceasefire story to paint Israel as the aggressor

The New York Times said Israel “accused” Hamas of breaking the peace deal, leading the Israelis to launch “its heaviest wave of attacks on Gaza” since the ceasefire.

Viral “Harvard study” on Gaza deaths exposed as fake

A bogus claim that 400,000 Palestinians “disappeared” in Gaza was based on a misrepresented report posted to Harvard Dataverse — not a real Harvard study. The false number, spread by UN officials and CAIR, is contradicted by Hamas’ own figures, which show about 9,500 missing.

Candace Owens pushes another fake Charlie Kirk conspiracy

CNN blames Israel for the war in Gaza

CNN runs cover for left-wing violence

Mainstream media ignore Democrat’s assassination texts

When Virginia AG candidate Jay Jones was caught fantasizing in texts about murdering a GOP rival and his family, the Sunday shows stayed silent. ABC, CBS, CNN, and MSNBC all skipped the story. Only NBC’s Meet the Press briefly mentioned it, brushing off the scandal as a “private conversation.”

Yes, Democrats want to fund healthcare for illegal migrants

NYT flips on Comey indictment after cheering Trump’s

Axios, NYT spin anti-ICE shooter’s motives as unclear

After a 29-year-old man opened fire on an ICE vehicle in Dallas — leaving behind bullets marked “ANTI-ICE” — The New York Times and Axios downplayed his desire to instill “terror” in ICE agents.

CNN spins Comey indictment as Trump’s doing

9/26/25

Kamala Harris twisted history to excuse her defeat

Selling her new campaign memoir, the former vice president claimed that her loss was the “closest presidential race in the twenty-first century.” This is false: 2000, 2004, 2016, and 2020 were all closer in the electoral college, while 2000 and 2016 both had closer popular vote margins.

Media, Dems compared ICE to Nazis before deadly sniper attack

For years, Democrats and media figures smeared ICE agents as the “Gestapo,” a slur echoed by Hakeem Jeffries, Gavin Newsom, Tim Walz, and others. Now, after a sniper attacked an ICE field office with “ANTI ICE” written on his ammo, no one has apologized for fueling the narrative that ICE is Nazis.

There’s a clear double standard at play: progressives applauded when Roseanne Barr was fired in 2018, when Trump was banned from social media, and when Tucker Carlson was pushed out of Fox News. Kimmel himself mocked those outcomes.

Now, when the same accountability reaches him, the narrative suddenly shifts to cries of a “free speech crackdown.” The reality is that Kimmel still has his platform and his audience, despite his plummeting ratings. What he lost was the ability to spread false claims on broadcast television without consequence.

9/24/25

NBC smeared ICE with false child “bait” claim

NBC News, before deleting the post, alleged that ICE held a five-year-old girl outside her house as “bait” to lure out her father.

Agents rescued the girl and reported the abandonment to local police.

Substack star misleads 2.7M readers on Kirk assassin

Substack star and historian Heather Cox Richardson told her 2.7 million subscribers that Charlie Kirk’s killer “embraced the far right.” But this is false, as Tyler Robinson’s family has stated he was a leftist who was passionate about transgender ideology. Richardson has yet to correct her false claim.

9/19/25

CNN spins Kimmel’s smear as “just a joke”

CNN guests claimed Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension was an attack on comedy itself — that Kimmel was punished for making jokes. But Kimmel wasn’t sidelined for his non-humor. He spread a false claim tying Charlie Kirk’s killer to the Right, completely contradicted by the facts.

CNN denies clear motive in Kirk assassination

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins claimed that “we don’t have a motive yet” for Charlie Kirk’s murder. Sen.

9/17/25

Legacy media dodge motive in Charlie Kirk assassination

A week after Charlie Kirk’s murder, CBS downplayed the killer’s admission that he targeted Kirk for “spreading hate,” while ABC skipped any direct mention of motive. Only NBC noted the FBI is probing an online group chat the suspect used, as networks sidestep clear evidence of a political attack.

GLAAD smears Charlie Kirk with false “anti-trans vitriol” claim

A spokesman for the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) said that Charlie Kirk’s rhetoric was filled with “lies and vitriol about transgender people.” In reality, Kirk always engaged LGBT critics respectfully, but did not back down from telling them — and everybody — the truth forcefully and respectfully.

Here are five quotes being used against Charlie Kirk and why they are all shameful smears.

9/15/25

NY Times twists Charlie Kirk’s comments into “white pride” smear

The New York Times claimed Charlie Kirk urged a citizen force to defend “white demographics.”  In reality, Kirk called for securing the southern border and noted Democrats themselves admit mass migration shifts demographics. The “white pride” framing is a false reconstruction of separate quotes he never said.

Conspiracy theorists imply that Israel had Charlie Kirk killed

High-profile individuals like Ryan Grim and Ian Carroll have implied that Kirk was killed because he was beginning to turn away from Israel. But Kirk, while unabashedly America First, was always a major friend of Israel, as stated by Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu.

WSJ pushes Trump letter to Epstein, but forensic analyses cast doubt

The Wall Street Journal published a supposed Trump birthday card to Jeffrey Epstein, complete with a naked woman sketch. But three separate AI forensic analyses found an “extremely low probability” that Trump wrote it, citing profound stylistic mismatches with his documented writing across four decades.

NY Times misleads on the Supreme Court’s ICE ruling

The New York Times falsely claimed the Supreme Court allowed ICE to make “indiscriminate stops” based on ethnicity in Los Angeles.  In reality, the Court reaffirmed long-standing precedent: ICE may stop individuals when there is reasonable suspicion of unlawful presence, consistent with the Fourth Amendment.

Media ignore brutal murder of Ukrainian refugee caught on video

Surveillance footage showed 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryana Zarutska being brutally stabbed to death on a Charlotte train by a repeat offender. While conservative media covered the story extensively, outlets like CNN, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and the AP have stayed silent.

9/6/25

Gazan child supposedly killed by the IDF found alive and well

Israel critics around the world slammed the country for having killed Amir, a young boy, in an airstrike. But a video of the child — actually named Abboud — was recently released, revealing he is no longer living in Gaza and is safe and healthy with his mother.

9/5/25

Conservative influencers are being paid to promote India

Multiple users have noticed that many popular conservative influencer accounts have suddenly posted similar messages against tariffs on India. This isn’t a spontaneous consensus, but likely a coordinated campaign aimed at turning right-wing Americans against Trump’s tariffs on India.

9/4/25

MSNBC’s Joy Reid pushes conspiracy that Trump wasn’t shot

On a YouTube show, former MSNBC host Joy Reid claimed President Trump was only “supposedly shot” during the assassination attempt, riffing about his ear “growing back,” mysterious bruises, and “magical doctors.” In reality, the FBI confirmed Trump was hit in the ear by a bullet, and forensic evidence debunked claims about teleprompter glass hitting him.

9/3/25

NY Times downplays Mamdani’s radical socialism

The New York Times tried to rebrand NYC mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani as a harmless “democratic socialist,” downplaying his calls to abolish private property and seize luxury condos. Reporter Jeffery C. Mays even suggested it was “derogatory” to call him a socialist — despite Mamdani openly identifying as one.

9/2/15

CBS enables JB Pritzker’s election-rigging conspiracy

On Face the Nation, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) floated wild claims that Trump wants to cancel or rig the 2026 midterms, even invoking Holocaust comparisons. CBS’ Ed O’Keefe offered no pushback, a sharp contrast to how networks branded Republican skepticism of the 2020 election as dangerous “denialism.”

8/30/25

JD Vance refuted a story accusing Witkoff of hurting Russia talks

The piece from Politico portrays Special Envoy Steve Witkoff as inexperienced and unfocused, highlighting multiple anonymous quotes from US officials. But the vice president called the article “journalistic malpractice,” revealing that the author refused to quote himself, Jared Kushner, or Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

8/29/25

New York Times plays dumb over the Minneapolis shooting

Like other media organizations, the Times claimed that the shooter’s “motive is a mystery.” But the motive is obvious; the shooter wrote it on his guns and made a comprehensive diary: he hated the world, being “brainwashed” by transgenderism, and God.

8/28/25

CNN spins the trans shooter’s anti-Christian motive

CNN’s John Miller downplayed the transgender shooter’s hatred of Christians, Jews, and Trump, claiming there “won’t” be a clear motive and casting it as someone “in pain.” Other CNN voices echoed this, stressing sympathy for the trans community while brushing off anti-Christian hatred.

8/27/25

The media’s hypocrisy on burning the American flag

After Trump’s order on flag desecration, outlets like The New York Times and CNN stressed Supreme Court protections for such actions. Yet when gay pride flags are burned, the same outlets drop First Amendment talk, framing it as hate crimes — like the 2019 Iowa case that led to 15 years of prison time.

8/26/25

False “active shooter” scares at multiple universities

Unconfirmed reports of shootings at the University of South Carolina, Villanova University, and the University of Arkansas triggered lockdowns and panic, but school officials and police later confirmed there was no evidence of any shooters. At least two of these were swatting hoaxes — fake reports designed to provoke a heavy law enforcement response.

8/25/25

A bogus “83 percent civilian deaths” in Gaza stat is circulating

A viral article claimed 83 percent of Gaza deaths were civilians, but the piece debunks itself, as the counts notably do not include “operatives who were killed but could not be identified by name, Gazans who took part in fighting but were not officially members of Hamas or [other active terror groups], nor political figures in Hamas.”

8/23/25

The BBC changed its story about a Gaza woman multiple times

A young woman from Gaza died in Italy after she received emergency medical care. The BBC originally said she passed of malnutrition — but later changed the story to acknowledge the situation was more “complex.” Israel, which transferred the woman from Gaza to Italy, claims she died of leukemia.

8/22/25

Media ignored leftist arrested for her plot to kill Trump

Nathalie “Nath” Rose Jones was arrested in Washington, DC, after posting threats to kill and dismember President Trump, even admitting her intentions in Secret Service interviews. Major outlets like CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, and The New York Times either skipped the story or buried it.

8/21/25

Media falsely portrayed an illegal alien arrest to vilify DC police

An NBC reporter claimed federal agents tackled an innocent worker on the National Mall, who pleaded in Spanish that he was “not a criminal.” Missing from the report was the fact, confirmed by the Department of Homeland Security, that the man was an illegal alien from Mexico previously arrested for aggravated sexual assault of a child under 13.

8/20/25

Politico pushes a fake victim story to attack Trump’s DC crackdown

The outlet portrayed a violent illegal alien as a harmless “moped driver” whisked away by masked officers in Washington, DC, painting federal police as a secretive force targeting innocents. Left out, however, was the crucial fact that the man had gang ties, a deportation order, resisted arrest, and even left an officer concussed.

8/19/25

Media pushed fake Gaza famine images

Major media outlets flooded headlines and social media with harrowing images of starving children in Gaza, but a deep-dive investigation by The Free Press uncovered a massive omission: every one of the most viral photos showed children who were already suffering from preexisting illnesses. None of this context made it into the original reports.

8/18/25

Media runs a smear campaign against Alligator Alcatraz

Mainstream media outlets have pushed hoaxes about the Trump administration’s Florida deportation site — from deaths and hunger strikes to nefarious uses of incinerators. The Department of Homeland Security has debunked every claim, confirmed clean conditions, and warned that the lies have fueled a 1,000 percent spike in assaults on ICE agents.

8/15/25

Seth Meyers’ twisted crime stats to blame red states

On NBC’s Late Night, host Seth Meyers tried to dismiss GOP concerns about big-city crime by pointing fingers at red-state governance — while ignoring that Democrat-run cities like St. Louis, Memphis, and New Orleans, which control their own policing, are driving those state-level crime stats.

8/14/25

CNN & MSNBC flooded the airwaves with fake DC crime stats

Liberal TV networks cited falsified DC crime data dozens of times in the past two days to downplay Trump’s law enforcement crackdown — while ignoring that a top police official was suspended for tampering with those exact stats. Only one guest, conservative CNN contributor Scott Jennings, mentioned the scandal.

8/13/25

Chuck Schumer lied about imaginary voters for decades

John Oliver, the liberal host of Last Week Tonight, exposed that Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has spent decades citing a fictional couple he knows — “the Baileys” — who started out as 1980s Reagan Republicans who then developed Schumer’s worldview over the years. This couple, however, does not exist.

8/11/25

Washington Post hid Russiagate findings in a Tulsi Gabbard hit

The Washington Post painted Tulsi Gabbard as reckless for declassifying an intel report on Russia — while omitting that it showed former CIA Director John Brennan used unverified claims, including those in the debunked Steele dossier. WaPo instead framed Gabbard as the villain and leaned on anonymous sources to shield those behind the collusion hoax.

8/10/25

Media falsely claimed that Jewish settlers torched a Palestinian church

Mainstream media asserted that Jewish settlers in Judea and Samaria burned the ancient Church of St. George; however, the fire was in nearby grass and caused no damage to the site, and police found no evidence of arson. Plus, video footage showed Jewish farmhands using equipment to put out the fires, not start them, as the media claimed.

8/8/25

Media falsely insists DC crime is down

After President Trump floated a federal takeover of Washington, DC, to fight crime, the press pushed back, claiming the city is safer than ever. But a DC police commander was just suspended for allegedly fudging the numbers — and the police union says it’s widespread. Officers around the city are reportedly being told to downgrade violent felonies so they don’t show up in official stats.

8/7/25

CNN falsely claimed JD Vance planned a secret Epstein strategy meeting

CNN reported that top Trump officials were planning a private dinner at the vice president’s residence to discuss Epstein documents, citing anonymous sources. But JD Vance’s office flatly denied the story as “pure fiction,” and no evidence of the meeting ever surfaced.

8/6/25

Media plays up Trump’s relationship with Epstein

The New York Times published an article on “Jeffrey Epstein’s Manhattan Lair,” showing one photograph he had with Donald and Melania Trump, though Epstein’s madame, Ghislaine Maxwell, just told the Justice Department she never saw Trump do anything concerning. Even after nine hours of questioning, she gave officials no damaging info, yet the mainstream media continues to present Trump as having a close involvement with Epstein and his crimes.

8/5/25

NY Times falsely paints Mamdani as having widespread Jewish support

In covering NYC gubernatorial candidate Zohran Mamdani, The New York Times quoted eight Jewish supporters of his — five of whom spoke positively about him. But two were part of his campaign, and another two came from anti-Israel groups Jewish Voice for Peace and JFREJ. In reality, Orthodox Jewish areas of NYC largely did not back Mamdani.

8/4/25

Media organizations hide Democrat gerrymandering. A bevy of media orgs, including Politico, highlighted how Texas Democrat lawmakers are fleeing to Illinois in order to deny a quorum in the Texas legislature to pass a new House map; Politico wrote that Illinois Governor JB Pritzker “expressed sympathy for their plight.” But Pritzker’s own Illinois is one of the most gerrymandered states in the country.

8/1/25

“The Smithsonian scrubs President Trump’s impeachment reference”

A news story about the Smithsonian lacks context. X users and some news outlets claimed that, due to White House pressure, the Smithsonian’s American History Museum removed a label added onto an impeachment exhibit mentioning President Trump’s impeachments. But that label was always temporary, and the museum has already announced they plan to make a permanent addition to the exhibit mentioning the impeachments.

7/30/25

New York’s governor lied about how gun laws work. In the aftermath of the Manhattan shooting, Gov. Kathy Hochul said on CNN that a concealed carry permit allowed the shooter access to an AR-15, and added that AR-15s are banned in her state. Neither is true: a concealed carry permit does not allow firearm purchases, and variants of AR-15s are legal in her state.

7/29/25

A photo of a Gazan child spread around the world lacks context. Newspapers around the world, from the Daily Express in the UK to dozens of other outlets, have run a photo of Muhammad Zakariya Ayyoub al-Matouq, a skeletal-looking baby, as evidence of starving Gazans. But the photograph was unaccompanied by key context: Muhammad suffers from a muscle disorder.

7/28/25

Media reports falsely said ICE gave a defense attorney a fake number. The Cincinnati Inquirer claimed that ICE agents gave Trisha Chatterjee, an immigration attorney, a number for a Taco Bell instead of for her detained clients. But ICE revealed that the entire story was false, and that they have tried repeatedly to provide Chatterjee with legitimate information — but that the lawyer has refused to contact them.

“Trump deports a helpless man back to Bhutan.” NPR’s sympathetic profile of a man stranded after being deported to Bhutan paints him as desperate and stateless. But the piece doesn’t mention until paragraph 17 that the man had previously been convicted of felony burglary — the actual reason for his deportation.

7/19/25

“Trump destroys contraceptives meant for African women.” Outlets highlighted America’s destruction of nearly $10 million in contraceptives, likely intended for African women, as an example of the Trump administration’s cruelty. But they were destroyed because they couldn’t be sold to any outside organizations since none met the requirement of not providing abortion services.

7/18/25

Irish media hid the real reason a man was deported. The Irish Times and other European outlets reported that an Irish tech worker who overstayed his visa by only three days was detained by US federal agents for three months before being deported. But the man was only identified by police after suffering a mental breakdown during which he “falsely imprisoned” his girlfriend.

7/17/25

NBC downplayed Biden’s autopen scandal with bogus comparison. NBC News tried to equate President Biden’s autopen scandal with Rep. James Comer’s (R-KY) use of a digital signature on subpoenas — but even NBC admits digital signatures are routine in Congress. The real issue, which NBC downplayed, is that Biden’s staff used an autopen to sign off on thousands of individual pardons without the president’s direct approval.

7/16/25

Axios pushed a misleading narrative on Trump’s deportations. Axios ran a headline suggesting President Trump wants to “oust legal US residents” — but the policy in question involves Temporary Protected Status (TPS), a non-permanent immigration program. Trump’s policy shift simply ends Biden’s broad use of TPS.

7/15/25

Media claims a professor was “kidnapped” — but he was arrested for assault. After California State University Channel Islands called for the release of a professor allegedly “kidnapped” by federal agents during an anti-ICE protest, US Attorney Bill Essayli set the record straight. Professor Jonathan Caravello was arrested for throwing a tear gas canister at federal agents and is being charged under 18 USC 111.

7/14/25

Noem rebuts media narrative about FEMA disaster response. After The New York Times reported that FEMA had ignored thousands of emergency calls during the Texas floods due to Kristi Noem’s delay in renewing contracts, Noem fired back, calling the story false. She stated that no employees missed work and that call centers were fully staffed — slamming the media for running with anonymous claims.

7/11/25

Media organization buries key information about an immigration arrest. “Former Cincinnati Children’s chaplain detained by ICE” blared a headline from the Cincinnati Enquirer. But the Trump administration revealed that he was on the FBI’s terror watch list. Plus, buried 26 paragraphs into the story, the Enquirer notes that his asylum status was rejected by the Biden administration — not Trump’s.

7/10/25

The media covered up an armed Antifa attack on ICE. Ten armed Antifa members tried to storm a Texas ICE facility and shot a cop in the neck — but major outlets buried the story, not even mentioning in their headlines that an officer was nearly killed. Investigators say the group came armed with radios, body armor, and pamphlets urging “insurrectionary anarchy.”

7/8/25

Democrats falsely claim that DOGE cuts caused Texas floods. Democrat politicians, like Sens. Chuck Schumer (NY) and Chris Murphy (CT), blamed Trump’s government efficiency cuts for the deadly Texas floods, but meteorologists have confirmed there’s no evidence staffing or budget changes played any role. Experts say the tragedy was simply a rare, worst-case flash flood event — not the result of missing weather personnel.

7/7/25

The New York Times admits gangs took over Colorado apartments. The Times published a long piece confirming that Venezuelan gangs did, in fact, seize control of apartment buildings in Aurora, Colorado. This story was dismissed as “false” just months ago, saying that Republicans had “spun” the facts.

7/2/25

7/1/25

Frank Luntz dishonestly claimed immigrants founded half of today’s Fortune 500 companies. Top pollster Frank Luntz claims immigrants or their kids founded nearly half of today’s Fortune 500, but this includes people like Jeff Bezos — whose parents were American-born but had an immigrant stepdad — and Walt Disney, whose father immigrated from Canada in 1878. The claim stretches “immigrant founder” far beyond a fair definition.

6/28/25

Media falsely claimed a Norwegian was deported because of a meme on his phone. A young Norwegian man told his local media that American authorities had deported him due to his possession of a meme making JD Vance look bald. But the Department of Homeland Security said it was actually because he admitted to using drugs in the past.

6/27/25

Media leaves out key pieces of information about a deported Guatemalan woman. Local and national media claimed a pregnant illegal migrant was denied care while imprisoned and lost her baby as a result. But the Department of Homeland Security countered, saying they had proof that she had received care, while also pointing out the deported woman had been arrested for child abuse and was wanted for homicide.

6/26/25

Media falsely claimed an “immigrant father of three Marines” was detained without cause. Several mainstream outlets portrayed the man’s arrest as unjust and violent — omitting that he was caught on video swinging a weed wacker at federal officers, nearly striking one. Assaulting law enforcement with a deadly weapon justifies immediate detention under federal law.

6/23/25

CNN falsely claimed Trump didn’t brief Democrats before Iran strikes. CNN initially reported that President Trump informed only top Republicans about the Iran strikes, leaving Democratic leaders completely in the dark. But the White House clarified that bipartisan calls were made in advance — including to Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) before the attack. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) wasn’t reached in time, but he was briefed afterward.

6/21/25

Tucker Carlson falsely predicted US catastrophe in the Iran-Israel war. On X, Carlson warned that “thousands of Americans” would die if war broke out, the US economy would collapse, inflation would skyrocket, and gas would surge to $30 a gallon within days of war with Iran. But after more than a week, none of that has happened — no US casualties, no economic collapse, and gas prices remain stable.

6/18/25

Media falsely claimed Brad Lander was arrested for “escorting a migrant.” In a similar incident to Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) being arrested for interrupting Secretary Noem during a press conference, CNN and other outlets reported that NYC mayoral candidate Brad Lander was detained by ICE simply for helping a migrant at an immigration court. But video shows Lander physically locking arms with ICE’s target, refusing to release him, and demanding a judicial warrant — which ICE isn’t required to provide.

6/17/25

Media falsely cast Padilla as a victim for “just asking a question.” Multiple mainstream outlets, including NBC News and Reuters, claimed that Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) was handcuffed for simply trying to ask Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem a question during her press conference. But video shows Padilla aggressively interrupting the event, pushing toward the podium, and resisting removal — behavior that would’ve gotten anyone else arrested, too.

6/16/25

Media falsely painted a federal ICE raid as an attack on a pregnant mom. A Los Angeles news outlet ran a story about Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem joining ICE agents in a raid on a “pregnant mother of four,” portraying it as a terrifying assault on an innocent family. But they failed to mention that the operation was targeting her husband — a previously deported illegal migrant convicted of drug trafficking, with an attempted murder charge reduced to assault.

6/13/25

ABC News tried to debunk RFK Jr.’s claim about vaccines but fell short. The network challenged Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s statement that the ACIP vaccine panel never rejected a vaccine, attempting to frame its occasional recommendation of narrower dosages as a rejection. However, this is not a rejection of vaccines, and there is no public record of ACIP ever recommending against one.
