Joy Reid Is Out at MSNBC

In December, I wrote about how Trump’s victory had humiliated his media enemies. It was predictable that there would be consequences, and now the consequences come home for one of Trump’s angriest critics: MSNBC liberal mainstay Joy Reid’s show has been canceled as part of a major overhaul by the network’s new president Rebecca Kutler, […]

Obama Judge Orders DOGE to Stop Telling Us Where Our Money Went

Wow, what a week it’s been, huh? Elon Musk’s young wizards at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have applied their superpowers — weaponized autism — to the simple question: Exactly who has the federal government been giving our tax dollars to? The resulting revelations, especially at the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), […]

The Worst Democrat in Congress?

The question mark in the headline is necessary because, of course, the competition for Worst Democrat in Congress is fierce. Ilhan Omar, Jamie Raskin, Eric Swalwell — it’s a tough league. But keep your eye on the representative from the 30th District of Texas, about which Wikipedia says: “With a Cook Partisan Voting Index rating […]

GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY!

If you’re going to make the liberal media pay for their wrongdoing, try to find yourself a jury in Panama City, Florida: A Florida jury on Friday found CNN liable for defaming a Navy veteran who helped evacuate people from Afghanistan after the US military withdrew from the country in 2021. The six-person jury said […]

Ashkenazi Jews Have the Highest IQs on Average, But Then There’s Jen Rubin

Before we discuss Jen Rubin and her “exciting new online platform,” let’s first take time to examine the problem of stereotypes. Being a member of the Appalachian-American community (we consider “hillbilly” to be an offensive slur), I know a few things about belonging to an ethnic group with reputational issues. This is why, despite my […]

2024: The Year the Media Lost

The Gloat Zone is a great place to be. Whether it’s in football or politics, the aftermath of a big victory is an occasion for soaking in the feel-good endorphin bath, and laughing at the follies of your defeated opponent. Victory is always sweetest when it’s an upset, staging a fourth-quarter comeback after your opponent […]

For the Benefit of Nate Silver (and Anyone Else Who Has Just Now Discovered How Selfish and Dishonest Joe Biden Really Is)

Much of the outrage directed at Joe Biden since the announcement that he would pardon Hunter Biden — a blanket pardon, covering any crimes committed during an entire decade, back to 2014 — is obviously disingenuous. The earlier public pronouncements by Biden that he would not pardon his son, which were echoed by his White […]

NBC News Misinterprets Evidence Democrats Stole the 2020 Election

On Wednesday, November 6, the day after Election Day, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter was full of Democrats wondering about the “missing” votes — Kamala Harris’s vote totals were remarkably lower than the 81 million that Joe Biden supposedly got in 2020. This provoked all kinds of paranoid conspiracy theory comments among […]
