“You became the monster parents fear the most,” Sacramento Superior Court Judge Jack Sapunor told convicted serial child David Allen Funston when he sentenced him to consecutive life sentences in 1999 – but now, a California board has now paroled him, sparking outrage from victims, police and citizens alike.
Comedy Central’s The Daily Show host-of-the-week Desi Lydic tried to rebuke President Trump on Wednesday for condemning Democrats for not standing and applauding certain moments during his Tuesday State of the Union Address. According to Lydic, the reason they refused to stand was because of Trump’s “tyranny and lawless behavior,” but the specific situations that Lydic highlighted did not make Democrats look good, so naturally she declined to elaborate.
After Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s rebuttal speech to President Trump’s State of the Union address, PBS News Hour’s foreign affairs correspondent Nick Schifrin nitpicked President Trump’s claim about the carnage in Iran.
Nick Schifrin: ….the president accused Iran of working to build missiles that will soon reach the United States. That's from a defense intelligence assessment. And also the death toll, 32,000 killed in those protests, much higher than most activists believe, or at least have said publicly. Combined, clearly, Amna, trying to paint the regime in Iran as something that he could target if he decides, and, of course, that big military buildup will give him that opportunity in the days and weeks to come.
On Tuesday afternoon, MS NOW made the latest comparison of President Donald Trump to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler as afternoon host Katy Tur made an analogy between Jews who support Trump and wealthy Jews in Vienna who did not take Hitler seriously in the 1930s.
It’s been proven that CNN will never give President Donald Trump an inch on a “strong” economy without taking logic and twisting it into such an amorphous pretzel to take nonsensical jabs at his record anyway.
CNN Business Executive Editor David Goldman, who’s become the poster child for harebrained contradictory hot takes on CNN.com, published another gem February 25 following Trump’s State of the Union speech that would make readers scratch their heads: “Trump is right: The economy is strong. But he’s missing the big problem.”
James Carville, longtime Democrat strategist, wrote a New York Times opinion piece on Jan. 2, 2025, days before Donald Trump’s triumphant return to the White House. Carville said: “We lost for one very simple reason: It was, it is, and it always will be the economy, stupid. We have to begin 2025 with that truth as our political north star and not get distracted by anything else.”
NBC’s Seth Meyers reacted on Late Night to President Trump’s State of the Union address on Wednesday by attacking him for condemning Democrats for not standing up and applauding and for allegedly trying to “co-opt” Team USA's men's hockey gold medal for himself. In both cases, Meyers left out some crucial context.
The media hall monitors are fond of berating the Bari Weiss-run CBS Evening News as Trump-friendly or “MAGA-coded.” So far, the network has quite easily managed to beat those allegations. Case in point: the former Tiffany network has decided to wade into the fake controversy surrounding the U.S. men’s and women’s Olympic hockey teams.
It’s hard to recall because it seems like it happened long ago, but there was a time at the outset of the Second Trump Administration where Elon Musk was at the top of the Elitist Media Evening News each and every day. Elon’s long gone from the administration, but this odd brief onABC World News Tonight makes crystal clear that the Elon hate remains.
Despite having been painted a picture by the liberal media that the new CBS News would become something akin to MAGA TV, it has been anything but. Wednesday’s CBS Mornings reacted with negative narratives about President Trump’s “contentious” 2026 State of the Union speech, “clash[ing] with Democrats” and painting a supposedly dour economy as strong.
On the final block of Tuesday’s Morning Joe, actress Carrie Coon, best known for her role in The White Lotus, promoted her performance in the Broadway play Bug by use of political parallels and complaints about conspiracies as she proclaimed audiences were yearning for “darkness, for irreverence, for nudity, for blood” in the face of America’s purported “autocracy.”
The State of the Union is typically an eye-opening exhibit of how dramatically slanted our "independent fact-checkers" are. An overview of the most prominent traditional national media sites reveals a total of 110 "fact checks" on the president to four for Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D-Va.). One might say that Trump spoke much longer, but all four of Spanberger's claims were ruled as solid. Here's the rundown:
