  Media Lies @MediasLies · 1h Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt exploded in a Senate hearing with Pam Bondi, exposing a decade of abuses from Democrats. "I am struck by the degree of the cognitive dissidence that I hear on the other side." He outlined a pattern of politically motivated actions by federal agencies targeting conservatives, particularly former President Trump, while Democrats deflect with hypocritical "both-sides" rhetoric on political violence. Schmitt detailed the following alleged abuses: - Hillary Clinton’s Soros-linked Russiagate scheme under Obama, sparking illegal spying on Trump’s campaign. - FBI’s false labeling of the verified Hunter Biden laptop as Russian disinformation to influence the 2020 election. - Arctic Frost probe targeting GOP senators, attorneys general, and conservative figures like Charlie Kirk. - Coordinated DOJ prosecutions against Trump via Jack Smith, Fani Willis, and Alvin Bragg. He slammed Democrats for smearing millio...

  Mark Steffen: The revamped leadership of CBS News, following the merger between Paramount and Skydance, has elevated a conservative journalist who has upset the legacy media with her own successful center-right career. Bari Weiss, founder of The Free Press, will take the reins at CBS News in the coming days, say sources familiar with her selection. Her upstart news site, which has defied the trend of declining subscriptions across the industry, will also be acquired. Weiss, a 41-year-old former opinion writer for the New York Times , built The Free Press out of her own volition back in early 2021, riding a growing wave of conservative and nontraditional media by offering highbrow think pieces on the state of the Biden economy and sharp insights into contemporary society. The remarkable shuffle will see Weiss report directly to David Ellison, Skydance’s CEO, as she works to increase the visibility of CBS News, which currently ranks third behind both ABC and NBC. ... Others expect...

  Michigan churchgoers saved fellow congregants; motive still unclear, FBI says

 Federalist Wire: ... Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) appeared on CNN with anchor Kaitlan Collins to discuss the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, and sharply challenged her claim that the motive of the suspected killer, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, remained unknown. Cruz rebuffed Collins’ assertion, saying, “Of course we know. Come on. ‘We don’t have a motive yet.’ Really, that’s CNN’s position? He happened to fire the gun in celebration?!” The exchange grew heated as Collins insisted law enforcement had not officially specified a motive, while Cruz pointed to the Utah County District Attorney’s statement that Robinson was radicalized by far-left ideology. Text messages between Robinson and his live-in partner, Lance Twiggs, revealed Robinson’s confession and rationale, stating he shot Kirk because he “had enough of his hatred. Some hatred can’t be negotiated out.” Cruz accused Collins of evading the evident ideological motive, declaring,...

 Molley Hemingway: Within hours of her 2016 presidential campaign loss, a devastated Hillary Clinton attributed her defeat not to the American voters who rejected her, but to Russia, echoing a campaign theme she had been developing for months. “Hillary declined to take responsibility for her own loss” and “kept pointing her finger” at Russia, according to Shattered, a 2017 book about her campaign—“Her team coalesced around the idea that Russian hacking was the major unreported story of the campaign.” The corporate media were also devastated, as they had spent the entire campaign mocking the idea that Trump and his anti-establishment positions on foreign policy, trade, and wokeness could appeal to voters. To the extent possible, they would help promote Clinton’s blame game. In early January 2017, the Clinton campaign’s “Steele dossier”—a secretly funded collection of made-up stories and gossip alleging that Russia had dirt on Trump and that Trump was colluding with Russia against th...

 Trending Politics: Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr sat down with conservative pundit Benny Johnson on his podcast, where he threatened action against late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, ABC, and Disney for misleading audiences by falsely claiming that Charlie Kirk’s assassin was a MAGA conservative. Kirk, a conservative activist and founder of Turning Point USA, was shot and killed during an on-campus event last Wednesday at Utah Valley University by 22-year-old Tyler Robinson. Carr blasted Kimmel’s comments about the shooter’s supposed political leanings as “truly sick,” arguing the host should be immediately suspended from ABC. He further suggested the remarks could even put the network’s broadcast license at risk. During the interview, Carr said the FCC has a “strong case” to hold Disney, ABC, and Kimmel accountable for spreading politically motivated disinformation. “This is a very, very serious issue right now for Disney. We can do this the easy wa...

 Federalist Wire: ... In a brazen act of media spin, Axios has lashed out at MAGA influencers for shining a light on the brutal realities of violent crime in America’s cities. This comes amid the tragic stabbing death of 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte, North Carolina—a young woman who fled the horrors of war only to meet a violent end on U.S. soil. Rather than zeroing in on the crime itself or the failures that allowed it to happen, Axios pivoted to attack conservatives and Trump backers for daring to bring the story to the forefront. The outlet’s approach reeks of desperation to protect the liberal narrative. They portray the sharing of this heartbreaking incident as nothing more than a ploy by the Right to stir up debate on urban decay and safety breakdowns. But let’s be clear: this isn’t about politics for conservatives; it’s about demanding accountability for innocent lives lost in preventable tragedies. “The gruesome video of the fatal knife attack o...

  Daily Signal: ... The numbers tell a devastating story about legacy media’s credibility crisis. Here are just a few from Gallup :Only 31% of Americans now trust the media “a great deal” or “a fair amount.” Thirty-six percent have no trust at all—up from just 6% in 1972. Among Republicans, a staggering 59% have zero trust in mass media. Legacy media have lost sight of their role of informing Americans in favor of lecturing them. As a result, the gatekeepers have lost their gate and lost touch with the country, and at times, reality. For years, a media monopoly of left-wing journalists occupied coveted spots in the White House, Pentagon, and on Capitol Hill—asking questions that advanced their agenda, often at the expense of the truth. Trump tried to disrupt things in his first term—but this time, he’s not backing down. And he’s doing so with committed warriors like press secretary Karoline Leavitt and Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr by his side. Just thi...

  DC Daily Journal: ... On Tuesday, during an Oval Office event, Fox News Senior White House correspondent Peter Doocy posed a bold question to President Donald Trump about viral rumors concerning his health that had swirled over the Labor Day weekend. The inquiry, which caught the attention of Vice President JD Vance, who chuckled at the audacity, highlighted the administration’s transparency in confronting baseless online chatter. “How did you find out over the weekend that you were dead?” Doocy asked, prompting a brief sideways glance from Trump and an amused reaction from Vance. The rumors, fueled by a brief absence from public view, had garnered 1.3 million user engagements by Saturday morning, despite Trump’s active schedule prior to the weekend. Trump, unfazed, clarified that he was unaware of the specific social media frenzy until reports reached him, emphasizing his vigorous engagement with the press in the days prior. “Really? I didn’t see that. You know, I have heard — i...

Blaze: ... ... On Wednesday, One America News announced that Google’s YouTube TV will now carry the channel in its basic package. The deal comes just three years after OAN was dropped by Verizon and DirecTV under pressure from advertisers, activist groups, rising costs, and a political climate openly hostile to conservative media. Meanwhile, the corporate press keeps sinking. President Donald Trump, FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr, collapsing public trust, and brutal market shifts have combined into a perfect storm for the old media guard. Line up the casualties, and the wreckage speaks for itself. Carr set the tone just weeks into the new administration with a Feb. 11 letter to Comcast and NBCUniversal alerting them that they’re under investigation to “ensure your companies are not promoting invidious forms of discrimination in violation of FCC regulations and civil rights laws.” ... This may be a first for the woke media.  I know I haven't watched it much lately.   I g...

  J essica  @RealJessica05 · 16h The last time CBS did this to the Trump team (the Kamala 60 Minutes interview), they had to settle for $16 million. I guess they want to go bankrupt. Quote MAGA Voice @MAGAVoice · 16h BREAKING CBS was just CAUGHT deceptively editing DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's response: They edited out "He was a known human smuggler MS-13 gang member, who was a wife beater and solicited nu*de photos from I doubt that CBS wants to go bankrupt, but it does look like they have an agenda that is opposed to the Trump administration.
