Media
August begins. Lies and TDS continue
No, the Rose Garden was not paved over. Democrats are off to another bad start in August. Elizabeth Warren praised the communist wing of the Democrat Party and told Morning Joe on MSNBC: They’re fighting for an America that’s not just controlled by a handful of billionaires who dump hundreds of millions of dollars into …
Eulogy For the American Newspaper
I miss the newspaper. Before the internet. I’m talking physical newspapers. The kind you unfold. I miss the morning routine of it all. Walk to the end of the driveway, barefoot, pre-sunrise. Messy hair. Morning breath. Unsheath the newsprint from its plastic. Soy-based ink on your fingers. That low-grade, wood-pulpy newsprint smell. Also, I miss …
Sell ads, PBS; Or better yet, hire Stephen Colbert
The media was busy, busy, busy last week sobbing to itself. First, the Orange Hitler defunded PBS and NPR. Then CBS bowed to the demands of the Trump reich by firing Stephen Colbert and shuttering The Late Show—sometime next year.
Grok-aganda; A flash flood wiped out Grok’s credibility. Good.
Flash floods in Texas killed more than 80 people including dozens of young girls at a Christian camp. The proprietor died saving some of the girls. Hundreds of people escaped the devastation.
Don Surber’s Highlights of the week; Anthony Weiner lost his New York City Council race to Harvey Epstein
You know your client is evil when you cheer the jury for finding him guilty of “only” two felonies which have him facing “only” 20 years in prison…and what was Jaguar thinking?
Don Surber’s Weekly Highlights
Don Surber is back again, hoisting the poor excuse for American Media on their own petards, and doing so with his own special, rapier wit.
Cowardly British press; England’s newspapers tear into Trump but bow to UK’s new police state JUN 19
Instead of speaking out against their own government and holding their public officials accountable, the rags rag on Trump because he won’t throw them in jail. The worst he will do is not let you ride on Air Force One—and the pampered people at the Associated Press sued to try to get aboard. Oh the cruelty.
NYT complains Florida taxes are too low; New York may never win another Stanley Cup unless Florida imposes a state income tax
The New York Times blames Florida for cheating. Yes, those wily Floridians dumped their state income tax in 1858 knowing that 59 years later the NHL would come into existence and eventually their state would get a couple of teams.
June’s media lies so far; The boy who cried wolf had more credibility than CNN, MSNBC and yes, Fox.
From the people who gave you Cryptogate, Qatari jet and Maryland Man comes a new month of misinformation. June’s lies already fill a newsletter—and it is only June 3rd.
It’s not Trump they fear, it’s you; He just has the nukes.
Trump’s quite right when he says it is not me they are after, it’s you—I’m just in the way. The updated version of this is it is not Trump they fear, it’s you—he just has the nukes.
Trump had a great weekend. Media did not
The man figured out how to get around the Wall of Media and get his message straight to the people without filter or fake fact check.
Globalists copy Trump and win; Don’t fret. Trump is squeezing Red China like it is the last toothpaste in the tube.
The battle between globalism and nationalism took a turn this year. After suffering defeats by Trump, Orban, Milei and Bukele, the One Worlders got smart and suddenly embraced patriotism.
Retail Bias in the Headlines
More people read the headline than read the story itself; it’s sometimes quite effective for a biased news source to write a relatively fair story if they can put their spin into the title.
Did Katy Perry just kill feminism?
On Monday, 6 celebrities formed an all-female crew aboard a Blue Origin space capsule for a suborbital space flight that lasted 11 minutes. The women included the wife of Jeff Bezos, singer Katy Perry and CBS presenter Gayle King. Public reaction was not what Bezos expected for him or his company
AP’s Silly Gulf War; I hate to say it but the press hates free speech
AP is upset because Trump won’t let its reporters into the Oval Office because AP keeps dead-naming the Gulf of America. Erik Wemple, media critic for the Jeff Bezos Post, wrote a column, “This is a perfectly fine hill for the AP to die on.”
Trumping the media; Deep state can no longer use tax money to pay off media
Thanks to DOGE, I learned the media’s coverage of Trump’s two presidencies was not based on talking points but on marching orders from the deep state.
The Democrats And The Media Are Cats; Trump Has The Laser Pointer
Trump has the Democrats on the run…literally. And it’s even more brutal than during his first administration. This time around, Trump and his team have upped their game. It’s not a weekly cycle anymore. Some days it seems like hourly. And the media, they don’t like it….Not. One. Bit.
Are Accountability and Reciprocity Coming? An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure
The Hive has become increasingly apoplectic and unhinged since President Trump and the Republicans swept to power as a result of the November elections – and increasingly so since Inauguration Day 2025!
NYT goes Wile E. Coyote again; In 24 days, President Trump returns to office.
