The main Democratic and media—but we repeat ourselves—conceit of the 2024 election that voters saw straight through was that former Vice President Kamala Harris is some sort of a moderate. Harris recently proved voters right again in a recent statement where she endorsed statehood for Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico, expanding the Supreme Court to 13 justices, and the need to “revisit” the Electoral College. However, on Friday’s PBS News Hour, The Atlantic staff writer David Brooks and MS NOW host Jonathan Capehart agreed, "That's not controversial.”

On Thursday, the WNBA suspended Seattle Storm co-owner Celeste Keaton, banning her from attending five home games and fining her an undisclosed sum, for her actions during Tuesday's home game against Indiana, where she allegedly verbally assaulted young girls who sat courtside, holding signs and wearing shirts, in support of Indiana's Sophie Cunningham, who has spoken out against biological men playing in women's sports. One might think that this story would be widely covered, but it doesn't fit the liberal media narrative, leading many outlets to limit or skip coverage altogether.

For the political left, the new trend is running straight off the radical cliff. The Democratic Socialists of America have been gaining ground within the Democratic Party, with elected officials like NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani leading the pack. The DSA has been working to spread their influence across America, including in Wisconsin, where member Francesca Hong is running for governor. And the liberal media, eager to promote extremism, is behind the DSA, even if the established Democratic Party is not. On Thursday, MS NOW’s Ali Velshi welcomed Hong onto The 11th Hour to frame her radical platform as common-sense policies, and never pushed back on her word salad answers.

CBS’s popular summer reality/game show Big Brother is famous for the phrase, “expect the unexpected.” But season 28’s surprise didn’t come in the form of a shocking rule change or last-minute twist. Instead, it happened off-air during the show's 24/7-hour live feeds when contestant Kamuela "Kamu" Kirk, an MMA fighter, dared to proclaim he doesn’t want to dress in women’s clothing, leading some to call him “homophobic” and demand he be removed from the show. An “insider” claims CBS is “monitoring” him “closely.”

On Thursday’s The Moment with fill-in host Jonathan Lemire, MS NOW justice and intelligence reporter Ken Dilanian downplayed the threat of left-wing extremism in a segment that fearmongered over changes to counterterrorism agencies. He called the shifted focus an “obsession with left-wing terrorism,” even with assassination attempts against conservative figures in recent years, including the three against President Trump.

After previously promising to “cooperate fully” at any Congressional hearing on his work as Biden Administration COVID czar, Dr. Anthony Fauci refused to answer all 111 questions by invoking the Fifth Amendment – and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) says he knows why.

On Wednesday, Dr. Anthony Fauci sat before the Senate Homeland Security Committee, where the pre-pardoned former COVID czar pleaded the Fifth 111 times. The Republican senators grilled Fauci on the pandemic, its origins, and the contents of his recently-released diary but as Fauci was humiliated and drew even more justified suspicion upon himself, the leftist media fell over themselves in his defense.

After ignoring it on Thursday night, ABC and NBC finally covered on Friday morning the near-apocalyptic scenes out of the Spanish territory of Ceuta as tens of thousands of almost all young men from Africa (and who knows where else) sprint across and emerge from the sea, causing mass destruction in the downtown area.

A Smithsonian Institution exhibit featuring 250 objects claiming to tell the story of American history is overwhelmingly dedicated to promoting liberal causes, including controversial sexual themes, a review of the exhibit’s catalog reveals.

Dr. Anthony Fauci’s newly released journals have cast light onto the glory-seeking nature of his response to the COVID pandemic, and in response the Senate brought him to testify for his lies and possible perjury. 

With a major chunk of their credibility tied to their defense of pandemic practices, the media has been quick to portray the hearing as a show trial and political prosecution. This Thursday’s CNN News Central featured co-host Sara Sidner covering the scandal with such a narrative.

Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky dropped some fascinating messages from Dr. Anthony Fauci and his very political approach to "the science" of Covid, not to mention the chummy collusion between Fauci and the press. After Paul's hearing, the networks and the News Apps painted Fauci as a victim of unhinged Republicans waging a war on science.

CNN senior correspondent Donie O’Sullivan joined The Source host Kaitlan Collins on Thursday to promote his new documentary, The Left Insurgency, that will air on Sunday. As part of that documentary, O’Sullivan interviewed far-left influencer Hasan Piker, who is known for being a member of the Mao Zedong fan club, but despite this, O’Sullivan claimed that the “democratic socialists” just want to make America more like Norway.
