President Trump fired back hard at political commentator Megyn Kelly after she claimed on her SiriusXM show that the U.S. service members killed in the ongoing Iran conflict “did not die for the United States.”
The Washington Post and New York Times are facing a furious backlash after publishing glowing eulogies for the Iranian regime’s slain dictator, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The Post, opening its obituary of Khamenei with language that softened the image of a brutal regime figure responsible for decades of repression and bloodshed.
Khamenei, who was killed Saturday during “Operation Epic Fury,” a coordinated U.S.–Israeli strike on Tehran, was described by the Post as having a “bushy white beard and an easy smile.”
If you thought The Washington Post’s infamous decision to describe ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as an “austere religious scholar” was a once in a lifetime lapse in editorial judgement, you were mistaken. With the death of Iran’s brutal dictatorial supreme leader, both The New York Times and The Post are back to remind you that legacy media still has no shame.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s longtime supreme leader responsible for executions, censorship, repression, and sponsoring terrorist groups worldwide, was killed in an airstrike on Saturday. His death comes weeks after his regime oversaw the execution of tens of thousands of Iranians who took to the streets to protest his very rule.
In a moment few would have predicted in one of America’s most reliably Democratic strongholds, ABC7 Los Angeles reported that support for President Donald Trump is growing among some Iranian Americans following the U.S. and Israeli strikes that killed Iran’s Supreme Leader.
During a weekend broadcast, ABC7 Eyewitness News showed hundreds gathered outside the federal building in Westwood, waving American, Israeli, and pre-1979 Iranian flags. The rally came after coordinated U.S.–Israeli strikes targeted senior Iranian leadership and military infrastructure in Tehran and other key cities.
EXCLUSIVE: Did you know that a historic and symbolic landmark of the nation’s capital was recently vandalized by an individual currently sought after by the FBI? If the story escaped your attention, thank the Big Four News Apps — Apple News, Google News, Microsoft’s MSN and Yahoo News — which largely ignored the attack, only featuring one article on the story over four days.
On Feb. 20, Fox News exclusively reported that the Trump-Kennedy Center had been subjected to an alleged act of vandalism after a suspect poured a “toxic,” dark substance onto an outdoor ice rink earlier that morning. The attack marked a major escalation of violence on a federal property, particularly one that holds national significance.
On Monday’s Morning Joe in the aftermath of the Strikes on Iran and Pentagon Press Conference, co-host Jonathan Lemire was fixated and seemingly rooting for a scenario where President Trump’s approval would go down if there was a prolonged war or deaths of more American Troops. Then, guest Elise Jordan, co-host of The Weekend: Primetime, naively wondered why the military and Secretary Pete Hegseth have not shared all their classified war plans with the public.
The Morning Joe hosts and panelists also had a special focus on how the actions in Iran were supposedly not “America First,” even though the President has talked about Iran not being allowed to have a nuclear weapon since the 2016 election.
President Trump ordered a new offensive in Iran over the weekend, taking out top Iranian tyrants like Ayatollah Khamenei. Bizarrely, our media composed puffy obituaries for the Ayatollah and gave Iran’s foreign minister a softball platform when they all pressure each other to be ever more hostile in questioning our elected president.
MRC President David Bozell and NewsBusters Associate Editor Nick Fondacaro joined the show. Nick pointed out that over the weekend, The Washington Post ran an obituary titled: “Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, is dead at 86.” The paper warmly remembered the brutal Islamic dictator as a “avuncular figure” with an “easy smile” and a love for “Persian poetry.” Why must American press outlets swoon over our enemies like that?
ABC News was once again treading dangerously close to serious legal lability. During Thursday’s episode of The View, co-host Sunny Hostin spew allegations – without evidence – about President Trump “sexually assaulting that 13-year-old.” A short time later, Hostin was made to reel in her definitive claims with a touch of skepticism by noting what she was referring to were “unverified allegations,” which were being pushed by Democrats and the liberal media.
The liberal ladies were discussing the Epstein files yet again after Democratic House member Robert Garcia (CA) claimed 50 pages were missing related to a salacious claim made against the President involving a 13-year-old girl.
In their discussion, Hostin spoke about the allegation as if it was fact:
HOSTIN: I want to know where those pages are.
JOY BEHAR: What was taken out?
HOSTIN: Well, we don’t know what was taken out, but what we know is that Representative Garcia read about 50 — 50 pages are left out. He did read an account of the President sexually assaulting that 13-year-old.
BEHAR: Trump. This president.
HOSTIN: Yes.
Treading dangerously close to serious legal lability, The View’s Sunny Hostin claims – without evidence – that Trump “sexually assault[ed] that 13-year-old.”
She was forced to walk it back and announce a disclaimer before pushing the unsupported allegations again:
“Well… pic.twitter.com/gZ4h2KY5UC— Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) February 26, 2026
A short time later, co-host Joy Behar handed Hostin a card and teed her up to hedge her accusation by admitting the allegations were “unverified,” but she needed to get a dig in by reading them:
I want to be very careful here because these are allegations and President Trump has consistently – they’re unverified allegations and President Trump has consistently denied all the allegations and any wrongdoing. BUT there was a presentation made by the FBI and the witness stated that Jeffrey Epstein introduced her to Trump, who subsequently forced her head down and punched her in the head in response to something that she did.
Operation Epic Fury is further exposing many of the structural biases inherent to the Elitist Media. On ABC’s This Week, Senator James Lankford (R-OK) called host George Stephanopoulos out for platforming the Iranian foreign minister and allowing him to spin.
Watch as Lankford subtly calls Stephanopoulos out:

CNN is known for feeding red meat — perhaps blue meat? — to their left-of-center followers by showing them “scary” content about the other side of the aisle.
From wall-to-wall Jan. 6 coverage to constant whining about President Donald Trump, CNN is one of the most notorious purveyors of leftist narrative framing.
Now the propaganda machine is churning out new content about “Christian Nationalism” — the apparently radical idea that America is a historically Christian people, and would be blessed by honoring God and His Word.
At least 35 people were killed on Monday morning in southern Iran’s Fars province, according to the Mehr news agency. The outlet also reported more than 20 people killed in an attack on Niloofar Square in Tehran.
Larry Summers used racist language in messages to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein about a woman he was pursuing romantically. “I’d be happy to have a rational affair w yellow peril,” he wrote, minutes after telling the pedophile he was “way smitten with her so woukd sacrifuce lots for being w her.” — Read the rest

The media hall monitors are fond of berating the Bari Weiss-run CBS Evening News as Trump-friendly or “MAGA-coded.” So far, the network has quite easily managed to beat those allegations. Case in point: the former Tiffany network has decided to wade into the fake controversy surrounding the U.S. men’s and women’s Olympic hockey teams.

Wednesday on MS NOW’s “The Briefing,” Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) said Republicans have been allowing “racism in their party for decades.”
Host Jen Psaki said, “You’ve talked about your battle with dyslexia a lot publicly over the years. You wrote a children’s book. And you talk about it a lot in the book in terms of dealing with undiagnosed dyslexia as a child. And MAGA is currently having an absolute meltdown on social media over comments you made on your book tour in Atlanta. And you said, just to remind people, while talking about your experience, you said, I’m like you, I’m a 960 SAT guy. Right wingers and on Twitter and Fox News hosts and some even Republican elected officials have said that’s racist. I mean, what goes through your head when you saw that commentary sort of building and bubbling?”
CBS News confirmed President Donald Trump’s assertion during Tuesday night’s State of the Union address that the United States experienced its lowest murder rate on record in 2025.
“Last year, the murder rate saw its single largest decline in recorded history. This is the biggest decline, think of it, in recorded history — the lowest number in over 125 years,” he said.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) is leading the tightly contested Texas Democratic Party Senate primary by 12 points, according to a new poll.
The shock lead was revealed in a survey from the University of Texas/Texas Politics.
The survey of likely Democrat primary voters shows Crockett with 56 percent support.
Meanwhile, state Rep. James Talarico trails at 44 percent.
The poll carries a margin of error of plus or minus 5.1 percentage points for the Democrat subset.
During his State of the Union address last night, President Trump touted many of the things going well in America, thanks to his administration. One of those things was the historically low murder rates we’re seeing.
Predictably, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel was not a fan of President Trump’s Tuesday State of the Union address, but even by his standards, Kimmel went off the rails.
Kimmel began by declaring, “It was an angry speech. The theme of tonight’s speech was all foreigners are murderers. And Trump just—he said zero illegal aliens have been allowed into the United States on his watch, but the door is always open to those who come in legally to be his next wife. So, that’s something. He bragged about ending DEI, he bragged about kicking two million people off food stamps. It was like a Christmas message from the Grinch.”
Jimmy Kimmel rants “It was an angry speech… It was like a Christmas message from the Grinch. Trump applauded the efforts of a World War II vet who liberated an internment camp, at the same time he is building new ones here in the United States.” (1/4) pic.twitter.com/RcxwpfDzx7

Abortion bans will expose women giving birth to “44 to 70 times higher than the mortality risk from abortion,” according to a new study from the University of Maryland and Brown University.
The lead author, Maria Steenland, an assistant professor at the University of Maryland’s School of Public Health, claims, “Our new analysis shows that it is far more dangerous to be pregnant than to have an abortion, and this gap in mortality risk is even larger than previously recognized.”
But what is the new evidence their analysis is based on?
We’re not sure what the actual flex is for Courier Newsroom — a literal fake news organization heavily financed by the George Soros empire — to be co-hosting a supposed rebuttal to President Trump’s upcoming State of the Union address aimed at “bring[ing] together elected officials, cultural figures, journalists, veterans, and organizers for a live counter-address focused on defying Donald Trump’s abuses of power[.]”
Last week, the radical leftist anti-Trump group DEFIANCE.ORG put out a press release boasting of its supposedly star-studded speaker lineup for its boycott titled, “STATE OF THE SWAMP: The Rebuttal to the State of the Union.”
On Thursday’s CNN This Morning, the panel reacted with alarm to reports that the Department of Homeland Security is compiling data on anti-ICE activists. Host Audie Cornish played a clip in which an ICE agent, in what she described as a “tossed off” remark, told a protester she was now considered a “domestic terrorist.” Cornish claimed that such language, once written into a report, “becomes a real problem for someone.”
Republican panelist Kristen Soltis Anderson urged viewers to “think about what would have happened during the Tea Party era, when the shoe’s on the other foot, about how upset conservatives would have been at the idea of the government tracking their speech in any kind of way. And so I always just think it’s useful to imagine, like, what if the parties were flipped here? And I think a lot of conservatives would be in, would be unbelievably outraged, and rightly so, if a Democratic administration was trying to track them.”
FCC Chair Reacts To Censorship Claims Over Colbert-Talarico Interview Newsweek
from news.google.com
Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas is taking aim at late-night talk show host Stephen Colbert for pulling an interview with her opponent.
Colbert lashed out at President Donald Trump after CBS pulled an interview with James Talarico, another Democratic candidate running for Senate against Crockett, citing new FCC guidelines. While Colbert pointed the finger at the government, Crockett was quick to push back on the narrative, insisting that the federal government had nothing to do with the decision to pull Talarico’s interview.
‘This was because of a fear that the FCC may say something to them.’
Stephen Colbert’s time as host of The Late Show is almost ending, but that’s not stopping him from lying. Colbert claims CBS refused to air an interview with Senate candidate James Talarico. Today’s show shines a light on the truth.
“The good news is that for people like Colbert…the stunt does not have to be rooted in truth to be successful, you just have to be lucky enough that people have moved on before the truth reveals itself. That’s what they were banking on,” Crowder said.
According to CNBC:
“Late Show” host Stephen Colbert on Tuesday night called CBS’ denial of his claim that it blocked the broadcast of his interview with Texas state Rep. James Talarico “crap” — and urged the network and its parent, Paramount Skydance , to stand up to the “bullies” in the Trump administration.
Welcome to today’s episode of Democrats Sure Got It Good, where, after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) humiliates herself in Germany in ways unseen since Neville Chamberlain, the far-left New York Times happily acts as her stenographer to try and clean up the mess.
First, looking like a dumb little girl pretending to be a mature adult, AOC went the full-Kamala at the Munich Security Conference, attempting to answer a no-brainer question about defending Taiwan against a Chinese invasion:
A couple of days later at a public town hall at the Technical University of Berlin, AOC proved she’s geography-challenged:
And finally, here’s AOC in Berlin stepping on a rake while attempting to troll Secretary of State Marco Rubio after his triumph in Munich:
According to CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, the media covers the Trump administration “fairly and accurately.” If that were true, at least when it comes to her reporting, she would not tell such a blatant lie. This is proven by the fact that the media had zero relevance in the 2024 presidential election.
There are two things easily debunked in the video. First, it’s the claim that, at the very least, she believes she’s fair.
This is what she means when she claims she treats the president “fairly.”
Yeah, that was totally unbiased reporting….
ICE Director Todd Lyons has been using the House hearing that he is taking part in to argue that ICE is the real victim of ICE’s campaign of lawless violence across America.
According to CBS News, in his opening statement, Lyons said:
Lyons also condemned rhetoric from public officials against ICE, saying it has “fomented violence against dedicated American patriots defending our homeland, and this must stop.”
“We are facing the deadliest operating environment in our agency’s history,” he told lawmakers.
The real victims here aren’t the two dead Americans in Minneapolis, but the scores of people who are being beaten and abused while in detention. The real victims in this story are people in masks who are terrorizing American communities.
Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) had a reality check for Lyons.
Rep. McIver asked, “Do you consider yourself a religious man?”
Lyons answered, “Yes, ma’am.”
McIver continued, “How do you think Judgement Day will work for you with so much blood on your hands?”
Lyons said that he wasn’t, “going to entertain that question.”
McIver continued, “Do you think you’re going to hell, Mr. Lyons?”
After a warning from the chair about decorum, McIver said, “I was asking a question. You guys are always talking about religion here and the Bible, I mean, it’s okay for me to ask a question, right?”

Havana — Cuban aviation officials have warned airlines that there isn’t enough fuel for airplanes to refuel on the island, the latest step in its moves to ration energy as the Trump administration cuts the Caribbean nation off from its fuel resources.
The government of Cuba published the notices to airlines and pilots on Sunday night, warning that jet fuel wouldn’t be available at nine airports across the island, including José Martí International Airport in Havana, starting Tuesday and continuing until March 11.
Political pressure from President Trump on Latin America has effectively severed Cuba’s access to its primary petroleum sources in Venezuela and Mexico. In late January, Mr. Trump signed an executive order that would impose a tariff on any goods from countries that sell or provide oil to Cuba, a move that could further cripple an island plagued by a deepening energy crisis.
