Two obituaries, two standards: How media framing shapes the legacy of controversial figures

By Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker How corporate media soften tyrants abroad while sharpening labels at home. Death is supposed to clarify a life, not distort it. Obituaries are meant to record history, not rewrite it. But in today’s corporate media, even death cannot escape ideological spin. Consider the recent coverage of Ayatollah Ali Khameini, Iran’s Supreme Leader for more than three decades.  In the Washington Post, readers were introduced to a man with a “bushy white beard and easy smile,” an “avuncular figure” fond of Persian poetry and Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables. Some acquaintances described him as a “closet moderate.” A closet moderate? That description might surprise the regime’s political prisoners — ...

The Top Lies of 2025

By: M.D. Kittle | The Federalist From the ‘Maryland man’ to that ‘misleading edit,’ liberals flooded the zone with falsities aimed again at stopping Trump. They failed. If it felt like 2025 was just one big psyop orchestrated by the Democrat Party and its accomplice media stooges, that’s because in many ways, it was.  Learning nothing from the political and ratings beatings they took in 2024, the left and its corporate media allies doubled down on twisting the truth during the first year of Trump 2.0. Here are the top 25 lies of 2025:  1. The ‘Maryland Man’ Illegal immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia has allegedly made a career out of smuggling fellow illegal aliens.

Media Panics as Trump Era Policies Fuel Stronger Than Expected Growth

By Brianna Lyman | The Federalist For all the media’s breathless warnings and dire forecasts, the numbers show the economy isn’t collapsing under Trump’s tariffs. Better than expected,” CNBC’s Rick Santelli announced Wednesday morning as fresh data revealed the economy grew at a three percent rate in the second quarter. Data from the Commerce Department shows the U.S. economy expanded at an annual rate of three percent from April through June, surpassing economists’ forecast of approximately two percent growth. Inflation also continues to cool, with the annual rate of inflation at 2.1 percent in the second quarter, compared to 3.7 percent in the first. As CNBC’s Jeff Cox reported, the growth is “powered by a turnaround in the trade balance and renewed consumer strength.” And as...

Legacy media scrambles amid shifting political dynamics

By MIG Reports Key Takeaways: Joy Reid being fired from MSNBC and Jeff Bezos giving the Washington Post a new directive stirs discussion of a dying legacy media apparatus. Viewership and subscriptions are down for traditional media outlets as the Trump White House embraces new media and independent journalists. American trust in legacy media is extremely low and many believe the industry is quickly sinking and may be unrecoverable. Legacy media continues to collapse as Americans reaffirm their distrust. Institutions like CNN, MSNBC, and The Washington Post have been deteriorating for years, and recent events are deepening fault lines in the industry. Recent events like Lester Holt leaving NBC, Joy Reid being fired from MSNBC, new directives for the Washington Post fuel di...

Dems, corporate media rushed to cite FBI data showing crime decrease — experts say the numbers are flawed

By Wallace White | Daily Caller The FBI quietly revised its 2022 data to reflect an increase in crime after initially reporting it had decreased, and experts say that the flawed figures are just the tip of the iceberg. It was initially reported that violent crime decreased by 2.1% in 2022, but the Bureau suddenly revised that figure, revealing that violent crime increased by 4.5% instead. Experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation that the FBI’s metrics are plagued with problems, such as incomplete data collection, confusion about reporting standards, the omission of unreported crime as well as the inherent problems of measuring crime nationally. Democrats, corporate media outlets and political pundits have routinely cited the FBI’s data to claim that crime has gone down under ...
