The Death Spiral of the Mainstream News
We are far from the day when the most trusted man in media, Walter Cronkite told us, “That’s the way it is,” and we believed him.

Tucker has no ball to take home; Trump was elected president without these turncoat ‘media influencers’
The latest Democrat talking point is that Trump is losing support from the media influencers who got him elected president. The trouble is, they didn’t get him elected because he won the presidency without most of them in 2016.
Trump trolls the world; AM complaint: He’s gonna destroy a civilization. PM complaint: Trump chickened out.
It was Taco Tuesday at our house last night. OK, we had Mexican pizzas from Taco Bell, but that is close enough for two kids in Appalachia.
It also was Trump Trolls the World Tuesday.
A rescue worth $390 trillion: The world just saw American might and determination. Tyranny should tremble.
There are two types of people in the world this morning—those who are elated that the American military rescued the pilot and the weapons system officer of a downed F-15E deep in Iran, and then there are those who are unhappy. Whatever you may call the second group critics or communists, liars or losers, or dead-enders or Democrats, their rooting for Iran to prevail in this conflict is tedious and TDS.
Highlights of the News with Don Surber
The media continues reporting on the obvious, the bizarre and the ironic, often erroneously. American Free News Network contributor Don Surber adds his laugh-out-loud, make-you-think perspective to each instance of noteworthy reporting.
Today’s No Kings, Pro-Iran Quislings: A Reminder of America’s Vietnam War Turncoats
I thought I had seen the last of traitorous Americans cursing our soldiers or calling for them to be killed when the last American combat troops were pulled out of Vietnam following the 1973 Paris Peace Treaty. After the disgusting display by anti-American, pro-Iran thugs in Philadelphia and the perfidious “No Kings” protestors last weekend, it appears I was wrong.
What Newspapers Tell Us . . . and What They Don’t
Newspapers do not usually out-and-out lie to us, but sometimes you have to look beyond what they tell you, to see what they don’t. We have pointed out, several times, that it is illegal to work in the United States unless you are a citizen or have the appropriate legal documents. In the last linked …

Worst war coverage ever
America and Israel began Operation Epic Fury (Rising Lion in Hebrew) by assassinating the Supreme Leader and seven or eight of Iran’s top generals. Then quickly and methodically the two destroyed its air defenses, its air force and its navy.
PBS, NPR, NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX: It’s Time to Examine Anew, Gov-Subsidized Media
Does anyone think we, in 2026, suffer from a dearth of choice when it comes to news and entertainment? if not, then why do we spend taxpayer money to subsidize such?
Two Terrorist Attacks, Two Constitutional Amendments
News coverage like the reporting on Thursday’s terrorist attacks in Virginia and Michigan lead one to question the abilities of far too many of today’s reporters. What should be done about it?
The Propaganda Ministry Has Entered the Absurdity Loop
The propaganda has to get worse (i.e. more brazen) for the propagandists to finish spiraling into oblivion. The industry must lie harder, before it dies – and according to polling, it is dying.
Military is winning in Iran, so the media spins a lobster tale
I worked in newspapers as a civilian for 33 years. I do not recall any other veteran in the newsroom over that time. Journalism schools should require two years in the military—or at least boot camp.
Wait, There’s More, The News You Didn’t Hear This Week
This week the headlines were pretty dim. Fighting in Iran, surging oil prices, and just when you think current events couldn’t get any worse, it’s time for the Oscars.
Juvenile Impatience – Are We There Yet?
We are just over a week into the Iran operation, and the media, political analysts, social media pundits, and Democrats are all desperate to amass an audience by selling national tragedy. In the meantime, the world is celebrating the end of a cruel regime and praying for better days.
Ayatollah Press says Iran’s winning; Who needs Baghdad Bob when you have Matt Drudge spinning yarns?
The time has come to drop the façade. There is no such thing as TDS. Hating Trump doesn’t drive this. Hating America does. As a very sane genius once said, the American press is the enemy of the people.
America the Beautiful, America the Invaded
As many as 15-20 million illiterate and unskilled migrants invaded our nation during the horrendous four years of the Biden administration. Hundreds of thousands—possibly millions—of them were violent criminals, slackers looking for a welfare check, or extremists here to set up terrorist cells.
Is the new “Restore Britain” movement in the U.K. a blueprint for America?
We are squandering our country’s wealth to accommodate 10-15 million unskilled, unvetted, third-world intruders who were invited to surge America’s open borders by Joe Biden and his duplicitous Democrat underlings.
From legacy to liability
Local journalism still survives on trust and community, which is exactly what the Washington Post squandered.
Keeping Up With The Drudge-dashian
Matt Drudge may do what he wishes with his site. I just want assurances that my money is not paying him.
