The Justice Department has indicted the Southern Poverty Law Center for financial fraud, taking money from leftist donors and paying informants inside racist and extremist groups and trying to hide the money trail as they "fight extremism and hate." Naturally, the leftist networks and newspapers don't want to get into the ugly specifics of the indictment underlining that scam.  

Violent crime has declined dramatically in the District of Columbia since 2024, but can we trust the statistics? Washington Examiner reporter and author Anna Giaritelli discusses her book "Under Assault" and how her sexual assault in 2020 was left out of the DC police statistics, as well as how crime and illegal immigration are filtered through the elitist media.   

A bill moving through California's state legislature would give taxpayer-funded "immigrant service providers" the power to demand the removal of videos recorded in public spaces that they don't like — and impose steep financial penalties on them. It's a narrowly tailored punishment on "anti-immigrant" journalists. Republicans call it the "Stop Nick Shirley Act."  

When Americans interview foreign tyrants, you have to question how they paint themselves as champions of democracy. They’re often so pleased to be granted access that this leads to compliant questioning. That happened on "Meet the Press" with Cuban “President” Miguel Diaz-Canel. "It's an honor," Kristen Welker said.

The elitist media are wildly inconsistent on President Trump, except for one thing: the coverage has to be negative. So this week, it swung from "Trump's about to destroy Iranian civilization" to "Trump chickened out again" when they announced a ceasefire. Whichever direction Trump takes -- left or right, backward or forward -- it's always wrong. 

Executive Editor Tim Graham and Associate Editor Nick Fondacaro welcome Daily Wire’s Isabel Brown to discuss how she managed to unintentionally trigger the Cackling Coven of ABC’s The View into an absolute meltdown by encouraging women to get married and have kids during a CPAC panel. Brown dismantles The View co-hosts and calls out their hypocrisy since most were happily married, and all had kids of their own.

On "International Fact Checking Day," we discuss how PolitiFact can't find any Democrats saying false things with Matthew Hoy, author of the new book "Fact-Checking Frauds: How Fact-Checkers Distract, Deceive, and Distort Our Politics." What tactics do they use? There's obvious selection bias -- in targets, in fact claims, and in expert testimony.

The elitist media celebrated another "massive" and "historic" set of "No Kings" protests on the Left, but they can't seem to remember the Democrats cracking down on conservative "disinformation," from COVID to climate to the Biden scandals. The new free-speech victory in the Missouri v. Biden case was ignored by the press.   

Sheridan Gorman, an 18-year-old college student at Loyola University in Chicago, was shot dead by an illegal alien. The networks hate reporting on crime committed by illegal immigrants. They would insist it’s atypical, and it seems too racist and pro-Trump to cover. News loses to narrative, and that narrative is Trump is ruining everything.

The "climate emergency" pushers have pompously predicted planetary doom within ten years for more than 30 years. Why are they never checked? Author Kevin Mooney has a new book titled "Climate Porn," and we discuss the remarkable imbalance of climate coverage and the nasty tendency to punish people who even gently question the panic on the Left. 

Sunday's Oscars telecast on ABC declined in the ratings again as the comedians -- both host Conan O'Brien and presenter Jimmy Kimmel -- drowned the event in a series of ridiculous anti-Trump jokes and comments.

CNN host Jake Tapper claimed "Every reporter that I know wants the United States to succeed in every way." But two London CNN bigwigs were photographed schmoozing with the Iranians at their embassy in London, and it didn't look like they were there to ask tough questions at the anniversary party for their Islamo-fascist revolution.

If journalists pose as guardians of the public interest, why do they get on the wrong side of 80-20 issues? Our study of the network newscasts and the Big Four News Apps found great disinterest in the "Save ACT," which would require proof of citizenship of voter registration and voter ID at the polls. It's overwhelmingly popular -- and being ignored.

Kristen Welker's softball Sunday interview on NBC with the Iranian foreign minister reminded everyone again of an anti-American double standard. The liberals inside newsrooms put enormous pressure on interviewers to question Trump fiercely, while representatives of mass-murdering Islamist regimes get open-ended softballs.   

CNN's Brian Stelter wasn't "Facts First" when he tweeted: "Pete Hegseth reverting to his fake-news routine in today's Pentagon presser." What's fake? "The press only wants to make the president look bad." Does Stelter watch CNN? Jim Acosta also trashed Hegseth as spewing "Fox MAGA talking points to bash the press."
