Appearing as a guest on Thursday's The Last Word on MS NOW, veteran actor Morgan Freeman compared America under Donald Trump to Nazi Germany.
As Freeman appeared to promote the series The Gray House about a group of Southern women who spied for the Union during the American Civil War, host Lawrence O'Donnell brought up the time Freeman read the final message of civil rights icon John Lewis for O'Donnell's show, leading the actor to remark, "The world today is not the world he left."
The combined political and liberal media counteroffensive against President Trump was underway within hours of the Iran strike.
As socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) launched a frontal assault on Trump’s decision — declaring the military action “absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment” — the New York Times provided covering fire, unleashing a barrage of skepticism about the justification for the strikes.
ABC chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl joined Saturday’s Good Morning America to discuss any possible political fallout from President Trump’s decision to attack Iran. Despite polling showing Republicans broadly supportive of the idea before Saturday, Karl suggested there is “potential for significant blowback” from the MAGA base.
The headline was big.

MS NOW host Jonathan Capehart works for a network that openly presents itself as an outlet for progressives, but when he joined Friday’s PBS News Hour to discuss Paramount’s acquisition of Warner Bros.—which would include CNN—Capehart hilariously claimed “that the media isn't necessarily liberal.”
After the United States and Israel began combat operations against Iran, NBC’s Peter Alexander and Laura Jarrett welcomed Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to Saturday’s edition of Today to get his perspective. The worst part of the interview was when Jarrett opened up the floor for Araghchi to give his “message to the president," which consisted of an airing of grievances that were not fact-checked.
On Wednesday, the PBS News Hour brought on union chief Paul Perez of the National Border Patrol Council (who represents 18,000 Border Patrol agents), and anchor Amna Nawaz pressed him on why 6 in 10 Americans think immigration enforcement has "gone too far." Perez argued "the media's misleading the public," and Nawaz wasn't going to accept that argument!
One of the most exhausted methods employed by the media to tear into the Trump second-term economy has been to whip out the narrative that it is “K-shaped” -- wealthy Americans propping up consumer spending while poorer consumers increasingly pull back. But a new report from Axios just blew up that whole talking point.
