The first week of the second Trump presidency is over, and the liberal media decided to use it as one last effort, though I’m sure they’ll try again in the future, to make us care about January 6. When Donald J. Trump was being sworn in as the 47th president of the United States last Monday, CNN noted the surreal aspect that this was the site where Trump supporters walked around peacefully in what has laughably been construed as an act of armed rebellion.  

In CNN's buildup to the Trump inauguration on Monday, anchor Jake Tapper uncorked a lecture about how five Big Tech executives in attendance “control so much of the information that we receive.”

Was that a warning? Or an expression of jealousy? The leftist media hate that the American people have gone around them for information, and they can’t help but bitterly complain that when Republicans win, people have chosen “misinformation” over the golden chalice of information that is CNN.

President Donald Trump has issued pardons or commuted the sentences of all January 6 offenders, violent and nonviolent, flouting the advice of Fox hosts who previously urged him to grant a narrower pardon. With this day one action, Trump has freed over 1,500 offenders, including “violent offenders who went after the police” and “some of the most notorious participants in the attack,” individuals convicted of conspiracy, a rioter who carried a firearm, and a rioter who faced a long list of assault charges.  

There were meltdowns, but it was noticeably more muted. It’s that, or we’ve become immune to the insanity that’s often spewed about President Donald Trump by the lying press. They’ve changed the headline, but anytime we win an election and set an agenda that isn’t obsessed with abortion, gays, and transgender surgeries, it’s framed as a dark time for America.

President Biden's farewell address lasted 17 minutes and included some sour grapes about “an avalanche of misinformation and disinformation enabling the abuse of power,” after Kamala Harris lost to Donald Trump. Here’s part of what Biden said:

Former President Jimmy Carter passed away on December 29, 2024, at 100. The 39th president of the United States arrived in Washington D.C. yesterday, where his casket will lie in state in the Capitol until Thursday. Much has been said about Jimmy Carter being a great former president but a shabby real one. He was elected after the nation wanted something new after the Watergate Scandal. Voters weren’t keen on sending Republican Gerald Ford back to Washington following Richard Nixon’s resignation in 1973.

We didn’t really need polling on this, but I do appreciate numbers cruncher Harry Enten for breaking this all down. The CNN data guru and elections analyst decided to delve into one of liberal America’s top issues: the January 6 riot. And to the shock of no one, the Democrats overreached. Most don’t even blame President-elect Donald Trump for sparking that day’s chaotic events, which have been beyond overblown by the liberal media.  

On Wednesday during NBC’s special rolling coverage of the Islamic terror attack in New Orleans, correspondent intelligence community tool Ken Dilanian chose not once or twice, but three times to tie Islamic extremism to “extremist ideologies” like “far-right extremism.” The most notable came during NBC Nightly News and anchor Lester Holt — who was the only network evening newscast anchor working a rare holiday — asking a simple question: “What does this tell us about the state of ISIS as we launch into 2025?” Sure, Dilanian started by saying “the...

After a truck-ramming attack killed at least 14 people at a New Year's celebration in New Orleans, Fox News misreported that the vehicle used came across the southern border two days earlier, implying that the suspected perpetrator — later identified as an Army veteran born in the U.S. — had also crossed the border. Although the network has seemingly attempted to quietly walk back the false information, Fox personalities and guests — including some former and incoming Trump administration picks — have continued to baselessly connect an act of terror...

This week's epic fight over funding the government captures the power — and flaws — of the new information ecosystem.

Why it matters: Elon Musk and his followers on X proved they dominate the Republican media industrial complex — using a digital revolt to kill a spending bill, and open the door to a government shutdown. That revolt was powered by some false information, tweeted with total self-certainty.

"We aren't just the media here now. We are also the government," Donald Trump Jr. tweeted yesterday to his 13 million followers.
