Gavin Newsom's fly-fishing buddy and gracious dinner host to Anthony Fauci, last fall told Seth Meyers that Jimmy Kimmel's whopping four-day suspension by ABC was "pretty much the most direct infringement by the government on free speech that I've seen in my lifetime." Here we are a year later, and CNN is going to have to fly commercial if it wants to cover the president's travels, as CNN was kicked off of Air Force One this weekend.]]>Sat, 26 Sep 2026 17:00:19 -0400<![CDATA[Brett T.]]><![CDATA[2026 Elections]]><![CDATA[CNN]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[Jake Tapper]]><![CDATA[Media Bias]]>https://twitchy.com/brettt/2026/09/26/cnns-jake-tapper-reports-that-trumps-advisors-are-telling-him-to-declare-martial-law-n2432745<![CDATA[The original reason that CNN, along with MS NOW, Politico and other media outlets were flipping out was because Trump had them banned from the White House.

The removal follows a federal judge temporarily revoking Trump’s White House ban on CNN, MSNOW, and Politico. The children at CNN have been grounded for bad behavior.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is just one Democrat who has signed onto fellow Squad member Rep. Ayanna Pressley's letter to "address these widespread modern-day lynchings and put a stop to this racial terror," noting that there have been 10 black people found dead by hanging in 2026 (the total is now 11, a case in Maryland, which has been ruled a suicide, as have nine of the other "lynchings"). The only outlier is a case in which not one, but two men have been arrested. Two black men. Headlines are guaranteed to point out that the victim was a black woman, but they keep the race of the suspects a mystery in their headlines. Even knowing that a suspect had been arrested, the Associated Press is trying to keep the lynching narrative alive with posts like this one:]]>Wed, 23 Sep 2026 19:00:10 -0400<![CDATA[Brett T.]]><![CDATA[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez]]><![CDATA[Associated Press]]><![CDATA[Ayanna Pressley]]><![CDATA[Democrat Party]]>https://twitchy.com/brettt/2026/09/23/ap-guess-the-race-of-second-suspect-arrested-in-hanging-of-black-woman-n2432629<![CDATA[As we've told you previously, we've discovered why the head of the Left's fundraising operation ActBlue took the Fifth many times during a congressional hearing.&nbsp;]]>Wed, 23 Sep 2026 18:40:52 -0400<![CDATA[Doug P.]]><![CDATA[2026 Elections]]><![CDATA[DNC]]><![CDATA[Foreign Policy]]><![CDATA[Media Bias]]>https://twitchy.com/dougp/2026/09/23/shockingly-the-networks-newscasts-were-all-over-the-actblue-foreign-funding-scandal-just-kidding-n2432643<![CDATA[CNN anchor Jake Tapper has certainly heard of the Streisand Effect, so as soon as we heard that he wasn't going to dignify President Donald Trump's "juvenile" social media post about the brilliant Kaitlan Collins, we had to check Truth Social and find out what exactly had Tapper so indignant.
