Legacy Media Has Huge Meltdown at Trump's
Victory Over CBS

Original Article

As we reported on Wednesday, Donald Trump just scored a massive victory over the legacy media, and the fallout is nothing short of spectacular. For years, the left-wing press has operated on the assumption they could smear, distort, and outright fabricate without ever being held accountable — especially when it came to Trump. But CBS News and its parent company, Paramount Global, have agreed to pay an eight-figure settlement to Trump for their deceptive editing of an interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris. And now the left-wing media establishment is in full meltdown mode. CNN’s Brian Stelter, for example, was visibly frustrated over the settlement,

Well,obviously, the response from the aggrevied CBS and 60 Minutes "journalists" would be to immediately sumit their resignations (no contract buyouts) in protest of this captiualtion. In business, that's called a win-win situation.

Pretty soon Stelter will have no place to work, as he helps the whole left media go down the drain.

CBS folded because they didn't want further discovery and realized the odds of a win weren't good.

Legacy media still thinks of Dan Rather as a 'Great Journalist'. Nobody likes a lying media. They just don't get it.

Trump did not sue because the editing was “in a manner he did not like”. That statement is deliberately misleading, distorted and mischievous. The NYT must think we are fools.

The desperation of the propaganda media is highly entertaining. It also shows that, even when caught at their blatantly dishonest actions, they continue to lie. They are incorrigible, and that shows that even when completely exposed, they cannot be trusted to be reliable sources of information. They are, per Star Trek, a dunsel, a part that serves no purpose. Best of all, they are Guilty!, Guilty!, Guilty!

The legacy media had the leverage in the arena of public awareness for so long. They hate Trump for fighting back and taking that advantage from them. This win over CBS shows that he's still winning that fight, so they're beside themselves over it.

FTA: (NYT) At stake, they believed, was the long-term credibility of the country’s most decorated and most-watched television news program... That credibility ship sailed and sank long ago. That the 60 Minutes staff seems unaware of this is the best joke of the day.

Unlike most Republicans, Trump never takes a knife to a gun fight. He fights back for as long as it takes and does not cave to public pressure. The good news is that more and more Republicans are learning to fight back instead of curling up into the fetal position when attacked. That will be the Trump Legacy.

Two hundred forty-nine years ago. Fifty-two men gathered in Independence Hall to sign the Declaration of Independence — a defiant ultimatum to King George III, risking death and treason to demand God-given rights: life, liberty, and self-governance. It offered the crown a choice: Honor the natural rights of free men, or face their unshakeable resolve to break away. In signing it, they signed their own death warrants — for surely if they failed, the gallows awaited them. The Declaration was a message writ upon the hearts of men by God Himself — a sermon steeped in biblical truth and republican virtue. “Give me liberty or give me death!”

What the hell is wrong with people? If you felt compelled to cheer the “not guilty” verdicts against Diddy, there’s something wrong with you. There’s something wrong with a lot of people, as morons reportedly poured baby oil over themselves outside the courtroom as the verdict was read, demonstrating that our culture is in an endless, accelerating cycle of rot. There is no reason for you to have ever heard the name Karen Read, unless you know her. But you probably don’t know her, yet you have heard her name. She ran over her fiancé and killed him, maybe she was drunk, maybe she wasn’t, I didn’t follow it that closely.

After Justice Barrett completely humiliated Justice Jackson—joined by every justice other than Jackson’s partners in anarchy, Sotomayor and Kagan—for describing constitutional jurisprudence as “boring ‘legalese’” and proclaiming an “imperial judiciary,” it seems timely, especially with a radical, socialist, Muslim mayoral candidate now the overwhelming favorite to govern the nation’s largest city, that we better understand the limits of the judicial branch, and conversely, the power of the executive. Even though we still argue at the fringes of constitutional meaning, the Constitution itself uses language that couldn’t be clearer

Amid rising tensions in the Middle East, CNN’s Frederik Pleitgen witnessed the Hosseini Infants Ceremony, where hundreds of women hold their babies into the air to show they are willing to offer their children to God and Imam Hossein. The annual ceremony in Tehran honors Ali Asghar, the six-month-old son of Imam Hussein, who was killed during the Battle of Karbala in 680 AD. Held on the first Friday of Muharram, it began in 2003 at Tehran’s Grand Mosalla Mosque and has since expanded to over 8,500 gatherings across Iran and 45 other countries. Mothers dress their babies in symbolic green and white garments,

I used to think that one day, the Left would snap out of it and begin acting in a civilized manner again. Opinions are fine, disagreement is fine, and outrage is fine. But somehow, those on the Left keep finding sub-basements under rock-bottom. Many of you know I was raised a Democrat, and there is a mythology that comes with that upbringing. I’m not talking about the trinity of JFK, MLK, and RFK, although that certainly loomed large in my youth. A whole Arthurian romance sprang up around progressivism, which has become unbelievably vicious in the 21st century. Every thinking person could get behind the Civil Rights Movement

The Senate, during a vote-a-rama on the One Big Beautiful Bill on Monday afternoon, failed to include a provision that would end illegal aliens from fraudulently receiving Medicaid benefits. One Republican, RINO Susan Collins of Maine, actually voted for illegal aliens to continue receiving Medicaid benefits! Four Democrats voted in favor of the Motion. Per Townhall, the vote to remove illegals from Medicaid failed by a margin of 56-44. Removing illegals from Medicaid benefits was one of the key provisions in the bill that the unelected Senate Parliamentarian rejected by applying the “Byrd Rule.”

We’ve previously covered Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's dissent in Trump v. CASA Inc., yet it somehow manages to be worse than we initially thought. I think we can easily say that her dissent proves that she’s not a serious member of the Supreme Court. In the recent case concerning birthright citizenship and nationwide injunctions, while Justice Amy Coney Barrett delivered a majority opinion grounded in the Constitution and centuries of precedent, Jackson’s dissent veered into the realm of the absurd. Instead of offering a rigorous legal argument

New York City’s wealthy elite and business leaders are sounding the alarm after Democrat mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani secured a spot on the 2026 ballot. The reason? Mamdani is a self-proclaimed socialist who openly argues that billionaires shouldn’t exist. He champions radical policies, such as government-run grocery stores, free housing, and universal healthcare—ideas that would expand state control and increase public dependency. Now, with Mamdani on the rise, the city is bracing for a potential “exodus of billionaires” and a chilling effect on investment and economic growth.

On Christmas Day in 1989, the people of Romania held a long-awaited ceremony that was more joyous than any Nativity had been in decades. They held a spontaneous trial of President Nicolae Ceaușescu and his wife Elena, found them guilty of capital crimes against the Romanian people, and sentenced them to death. There was no shortage of volunteers for the firing squad, and those lucky enough to be chosen didn’t wait for the order to fire: they riddled the Ceaușescu’s bodies with more than one hundred bullets. The story of how the dictatorial couple met their end has important lessons for those wondering about the fate of today’s Iranian

Whereas the general modus operandi in legacy media is to smear RFK Jr. as an “anti-vaxxer” within the first sentence, the Washington Post courteously waited until the second paragraph to label RFK Jr. a “vaccine misinformation” spreader on its way to condemning him for cutting federal funding to Bill Gates’ global “vaccine alliance,” GAVI. The United States will halt its contributions to Gavi, the global alliance that works to expand access to vaccines for children in some of the world’s poorest countries, said Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Wednesday — a move that public health experts said would have deadly consequences.

Operation Midnight Hammer was a resounding success. It crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities. It’s now a fact. With Israel securing total air supremacy, the odds of this being a successful military operation were significantly high. Our B-2 Bomber fleet carried out its run, delivered its target packages, and left. The Democrats’ reaction has been revolting or bordering on treasonous. Some sound as if they’re upset Iran, the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism, lost its capacity to build nukes. Isn’t that what we all wanted? They chirped about illegal wars, which fell flat because we all remember Obama’s wars. Then, they clung to this low-confidence, preliminary, and unreliable intelligence estimate

If you thought the spectacle of Biden behind a podium was a thing of the past, think again. This week, the former president emerged from his Delaware cocoon to deliver the keynote at the Society for Human Resource Management’s convention in San Diego. A couple of months ago, it was revealed that he was having trouble booking speaking gigs — probably because no one was going to fork over the $300,000 speaking fee reportedly attached to his name. The Society for Human Resource Management must have had a Groupon code. So what kind of wisdom did Ol’ Joe share? Biden was asked about what he’s doing these days. His answer?

Twenty-four House Democrats have called on the Trump administration to close down “Alligator Alcatraz,” a brand-new illegal alien detention facility built in the Florida Everglades. Led by Democratic Reps. Janelle Bynum (OR) and Maxwell Frost (FL), the House Democrats demanded that Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Todd Lyons shut the facility down. In the letter, the lawmakers called the facility an “inhumane stunt.” “This remote swamp is notorious for oppressive heat, relentless humidity, severe storms, and perilous terrain infested with venomous snakes, disease-carrying insects, and large predatory wildlife, including alligators and crocodiles,” they wrote.

Joe Biden has always been a fabulist. Since he first stepped onto the national stage, he has woven myths about his life. Joe needed the gravitas of good grades and a solid academic background to move up the ladder of national politics, so he invented a student who never existed. Joe threatened to fight a man who asked about his academic chops and claimed he went to law school on “a full academic scholarship.” Except, he didn’t. He claimed he had three degrees from college. Except, he doesn't. He claimed he was in the “top half” of his law school class. Nope. He was in the “steerage” section

President Donald Trump’s push to help Americans over the age of 65 may be possible with a provision in the “big, beautiful bill,” which passed the Senate on Tuesday. Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers noted that the bill “delivers on President Trump’s promise of No Tax on Social Security,” providing the “largest tax break in American history for our nation’s seniors.” “The One Big Beautiful Bill provides a new bonus deduction of $6,000 for seniors age 65 and older ($12,000 for married seniors) beginning in 2025,” the overview explained, noting the provision, which does not wipe out taxes on Social Security, would be in addition to current standard deductions.

One year from now, you will not be able to turn around without receiving notice of America’s semiquincentennial jubilee. The jollity of the occasion will not change the fact that it will be seven years premature. The historical significance assigned to July 4, 1776, the date the Declaration of Independence was adopted by the Second Continental Congress, is befuddling. Without victory in the Revolutionary War, which began over a year earlier, any declarations regarding American independence made during the summer of 1776 would have the same significance today as the “declarations of independence” made by the 11 Confederate States in 1860-61.

Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) is the party goober right now. He was part of a five-vote bloc that was against advancing the reconciliation package that cuts taxes, kicks illegals off Medicaid, and secures our border. He was willing to set fire to all of that, all of President Trump and the GOP’s top domestic action items over Ukraine war funding. I’m not kidding...He voted and then disappeared for the remainder of Wednesday night. In the end, the four other ‘no’ votes—Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY), Victoria Spartz (R-IN), Keith Self (R-TX), and Andrew Clyde (R-GA)–all fell in line with the eight or so other holdouts.

Unilever is reportedly cutting off millions of dollars in funding to the Ben & Jerry’s charitable foundation after it refused to provide audit documents about donations to pro-Palestinian groups, escalating an internal dispute between a corporate parent and its left-leaning subsidiary.
