OH PLEASE: Gavin Newsom Suggests Liberals Don’t Have a Compliant Media Ecosystem Like Conservatives Do 

During a recent podcast appearance with a host from MSNOW, California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized conservative media outlets. Newsom suggests that the right has an entire system of media that creates narratives and carries talking points for Republicans. He then claims that liberals have nothing like that.

This is laugh-out-loud ridiculous.

Liberals have the entire media, with the possible exception of FOX News, which Newsom uses repeatedly to make his asinine point.

Outlets like CNN, MSNOW, the traditional networks, and all of the major newspapers frame the news in ways that try to give the Democrats an advantage every single day.

From Townhall:

Newsom is saying, with a straight face, that Democrats don’t hav the same friendly media ecosystem that Republicans do.

No, seriously.

“I mean Trump is triumphed 24/7 on these grievance networks and they come in … look, you’ve got The Daily Wire, goes to the California Post, the California Post goes to the New York Post, New York Post goes to The Five. The Five goes to the lineup of the primetime news hosts … goes right to the f***ing Oval Office,” Newsom said. “Then we’ve got Fox & Friends … then you’ve got Chris Rufo, one of the greats … it’s this circular ecosystem, this sewer that has a presidential seal and gold leaf now.”

“With respect, I don’t see that on MSNBC,” Newsom added. “I sure as hell don’t see it on CNN. I don’t see it anywhere.”

‘The View’s Whoopi Goldberg Claims ‘No One Wants Voter ID Laws’ While 80 Percent of America Supports ID to Vote

The far-left hosts of ABC’s The View fretted over the “SAVE America Act,” claimed that “no one wants voter ID laws,” and even insisted that “half” of America would be prevented from voting if the bill was signed into law.

The conversation started with Whoopi Goldberg, who brought up President Trump’s decision to cancel his bill signing ceremony for the housing bill because he is pressuring congress to pass his favored “Save America Act.”

In part, the “SAVE America Act” would include several election reforms, including provisions for voter ID. The act has already been passed by the House and is currently under consideration in the U.S. Senate, but has faced road blocks by several left-leaning GOP senators.

In bringing up the “SAVE America Act,” Goldberg insisted, “He torpedoed the [housing] bill because he wants another bill signed. And it seems to me no one wants to sign this bill.”

The comedian and TV host does not seem to understand what “signing” a bill means. She said Trump wants another bill signed, but the president is the one who signs the bills in our system, not someone else. Then she says it seems to her “no one wants to sign this bill.” Again, it is Trump who does the signing not others. So, who this “no one” she is talking about is, is hard to figure.

In any case, her cohosts were happy to pile on to attack the “SAVE America Act” and to bash it as “oppression” of the vote.

Russian Media Reports Hackers Have Receipts Ukraine Has Lost 2.4 Million Dead In War

Ukraine has lost approximately 2.4 million soldiers since the start of Russia’s operation in Ukraine in 2022

Russian hackers PalachPro and the NoName057(16) group have breached databases belonging to the Ukrainian General Staff and Ukraines territorial recruitment centers (TCCs)

They also hacked Ukrainian medical institutions and morgues.

Citing leaked data, losses stood at 1.7 million by August 2025 and crossed 2 million by December. The first six months of 2026 alone reportedly cost Kiev around 400,000 men matching total losses for all of 2023. The heaviest casualties are concentrated on the Krasnoarmeysk (Pokrovsk) Konstantinovka Lyman Zaporozhye and Kupyansk axes averaging roughly 500 AFU losses per day on each.

Mash also reports that foreign mercenary deaths have stopped being logged as combat losses instead recorded as accidents. Per the leaked data around 5,000 foreign fighters serving with the AFU have been killed a number said to be rising as TCCs continue recruiting foreign nationals many of them Argentine and Brazilian nationals aged 20 to 23.

PalachPro and NoName057(16) are the same groups Mash credits with earlier deploying AI assisted facial recognition across roughly 50000 surveillance cameras in Ukraine and the EU.

Look at How the Liberal Media Has Tried to Spin for the Antifa Terrorists Recently Sentenced in Texas

As the Gateway Pundit recently reported, multiple members of Antifa were just sentenced to a collective 450 years in federal prison for the 2025 attack on an ICE facility in Texas.

Eight members of the group were sentenced to 50 years each. The ringleader got a sentence of 100 years.

People on the radical left are outraged about these sentences because they are not accustomed to seeing their side held accountable by law enforcement, but the media spin has been something to behold.

The same media that called the Tea Party dangerous and racist back in 2010 are now actively trying to spin this major news about Antifa.

See some examples below.

The Washington Post described the Antifa members as ‘alleged’ members of Antifa and called the incident a protest. This was not a protest. A law enforcement officer was shot.

Dozens of Dem Lawmakers Push to Make Sure Parents Can’t Tell If Kids’ TV Shows Push Transgender Ideology

Just how much say should a parent have when it comes to their child’s exposure to transgenderism and gender ideology?

President Donald Trump’s Federal Communications Commission is taking a maximalist approach to answer the question about parental rights.

But if you were to ask dozens of Democratic lawmakers, the answer to the question is apparently, “As little as possible.”

Back in April, FCC Chair Brendan Carr began pushing for stricter — or at least more comprehensive — television ratings for children’s shows, to better inform parents about the shows’ contents as well as combat what is being called “ratings creep.”

“Years ago, Congress passed a law that empowers parents to decide the types of TV programs that are appropriate for their kids by standing up a TV show ratings system,” Carr posted in April. “But recently, parents have raised concerns with the industry’s approach — including with ratings creep.”

He added, “Specifically, they argue that New York & Hollywood programmers are promoting controversial issues in kids programming without providing any transparency or disclosures to parents.”

Fast forward to Tuesday, where Carr and his FCC received a scathing letter from House Democrats about this move to strengthen television ratings.

“We are deeply concerned that the questions you pose, such as whether programs should be rated differently because they discuss gender identity, indicate that you believe there is a role for the FCC to play in determining these ratings,” the letter read.

The Democrats attempted to frame Carr’s concern for parental rights as government overreach — and bigotry.

“The rating system is intended to address ‘sexual, violent, or other indecent material,’ and we reject the idea that the inclusion of transgender characters or topics is ‘sexual, violent, or
indecent,’” the letter stated.

“Programs should not have higher ratings or content warning simply because of the identity of the programs’ characters. Applying higher ratings or content warnings because of a character’s gender identity would be harmful to transgender people and transgender acceptance and would harken back to a time when politicians sought to censor television programming because they included minorities.”

Some 68 Democrats would go on to sign the letter that curiously claims, “We strongly believe that parents should decide what their children watch on television.”

(Wouldn’t more transparency help parents make better decisions?)

Department of Interior Releases Never-Before-Seen Footage of Vandals at Reflecting Pool as Fake News Media in Denial

The Interior Department on Tuesday released surveillance footage showing two individuals “destroying and removing a piece of the lining and attempting destruction” of the Reflecting Pool at the Lincoln Memorial, the Department says.

Deranged liberals have been tearing out the new American flag blue sealant that lines the bottom of the pool with the intention of giving the water a blue reflection. Several arrests were made over the weekend.

The vandals also inscribed “86 47,” calling for Trump’s death, on the grass of the National Mall and on the bottom of the Reflecting Pool in recent days.

Employees were seen erecting a fence around the Reflecting Pool on Tuesday as Trump says repairs are set to begin imminently.

Video provided to Fox News shows a male and a female reaching deep into the Reflecting Pool last Friday in what is allegedly an act of vandalism.

“In the video, you are seeing two suspects observed destroying and removing a piece of the lining and attempting destruction of the lining,” the Department of the Interior said in a statement.

“This incident took place on June 19, 2026, and we are investigating. Destroying, injuring, defacing or removing cultural or archeological resources is a federal crime.”

Even BBC, The British Intelligence Mouthpiece, Now Admits Russia Is Winning In Donbass And The End Is Near

Tsarizm wrote last week that the end was near in Donbass as Russian forces now controlled key gateways to the region and stood on the brink of achieving their goal of forcing Ukrainian forces out of the area.

Now, as the end approaches, the British mouthpiece of MI-6, the BBC, confirms the situation in a remarkable admission.

Russian troops have infiltrated the strategic city of Kostyantynivka in eastern Ukraine and are now trying to surround it.

The entire city is now effectively in a “grey zone”, no longer controlled by anyone, Ukrainian soldiers have told the BBC.

“They get into areas behind our backs and in urban conditions it’s extremely difficult to push them out,” says a Ukrainian drone pilot who operates in that area and prefers to remain anonymous.

Kostyantynivka is a gateway to the rest of the Donbas region.

If it falls, Russian forces would be able push towards Ukraine’s last remaining strongholds in the east, the cities of Kramatorsk and Sloviansk, and move closer to seizing Donbas completely, one of the Kremlin’s key objectives in this war.

We wrote recently — What Zelenskiy is not telling the world is that the city of Kostiantynivka in Donbass has recently fallen under the Russian advance. Russian forces are now focusing on Sloviansk, which once taken, will open the door to Kramatorsk in one or two months.

A situation is developing where a massive cauldron is forming, encircling thousands of Ukrainian troops and the Zelenskiy government will not order the withdrawal to save the soldiers.

“It is a deliberate slaughter of Ukrainian soldiers,” said a source in Kyiv. “It is intentionally losing a division.”

The realization of the situation on the ground explains the increase in long-range attacks on Russian energy infrastructure, the threats against Belarus and Poland, and the saber rattling by the EU.

It’s time to end the war, as Russian President Putin today offered negotiations with Kyiv. The Kremlin understands the situation on the ground as well.

Putin commented, “A coup d’état was carried out in Ukraine. The regime was brought to power that was crazy, anti-Russian.

“They were the ones who started the hostilities in Donbas. They used aviation, they used tanks, artillery, and so on, practically against the civilian population.

“For eight years, we endured, we tried to reach an agreement with them in every way. Then they announced that they would not reach an agreement by peaceful means.

“Well, we were forced to stand up for the protection of the people who live there.”

In our view, it’s time to end the war and prevent a much larger conflagration on The Continent, that the globalist EU leadership is pushing for.

FCC Probe into ‘The View’ Heats Up: Media Research Center Submits 2,473 Separate Pieces of Evidence Documenting ‘Pervasive Bias’

In January, The Gateway Pundit reported that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced a crackdown on partisan talk shows in both daytime and late-night in an effort to provide equal treatment for political candidates.

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr said at the time, “For years, legacy TV networks assumed that their late night & daytime talk shows qualify as “bona fide news” programs – even when motivated by purely partisan political purposes.”

In February, the FCC is launched an investigation into ABC’s “The View” following an appearance by Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico, the first political candidate to appear on the program following the announcement in January.

At the time, Talarico was facing other candidates, including Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), in the Democrat primary. Republicans Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), state Attorney General Ken Paxton, and Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-TX) faced off in the GOP primary.

Yet, as Fox News reported at the time, ABC’s parent company, Disney, never made an equal-time filing to the FCC regarding Talarico’s recent appearance, which would implicitly indicate to the FCC that Disney believes “The View” is bona fide news and would be exempt from the policy.

The equal opportunity requirement applies to all legally filed candidates on a ballot regardless of political party, meaning all eligible Democratic primary candidates would require equal time. Notably, Talarico received roughly nine minutes of airtime in one segment while his top primary rival, Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett, had roughly 17 minutes of airtime across three segments during her appearance on “The View” last month.

The source noted that not only would ABC require equal airtime for Republican candidates on the ballot like incumbent Republican Texas Sen. John Cornyn and his primary rivals. It would also apply to Ahmad Hassan, the little-known candidate running against Talarico and Crockett in the Democratic primary.

In a letter to FCC division chief Maria Mullarkey, Media Research Center (MRC) President David Bozell wrote, “For nearly four decades, the Media Research Center (MRC) has been an unrelenting media watchdog and a counterforce to activism in America’s newsrooms, broadcast networks, and Big Tech platforms. As such, the MRC is uniquely qualified to respond to the Commission’s request for comment on Disney/ABC’s petition to declare that the daytime television program The View qualifies as a bona fide news interview program.”

“I Think Kamala Won” – Election Deniers Rosie O’Donnell and Jim Acosta Push Conspiracy Theory That Trump Stole the 2024 Election and is Rigging Midterms

Rosie O’Donnell and former CNN White House reporter Jim Acosta put their Trump Derangement Syndrome on full display this week, teaming up to push what has been referred to as “election denialism” and a “threat to democracy.”

During an interview on Acosta’s show, Rosie declared that Trump stole the election from Kamala Harris. Though Acosta was skeptical about the theory, he endorsed the idea that the midterms will be stolen or outright canceled by Trump.

“So most people are very, very, very shocked, scared, and absolutely astonished that he is the President of the United States, and I think I am too. I mean, part of the reason that I left is I never in a million years thought we would put a convicted felon who tried to start an insurrection back in office,” O’Donnell said. Very ironic considering Trump saying the election was stolen is what these people considered insurrection.

“How did that happen? I don’t think it happened. I think Kamala won. I do,” she continued, as Acosta called her idea “interesting.”

O’Donnell went on with her crazed theory, suggesting that Elon Musk was the golden ticket and that, perhaps, the tech billionaire had something to do with rigging the votes.

“And I think that we’re going to find all this out. It’s going to come out, and it’s, I’m not the first person to say this, there are all these researchers who are saying it. I read it online again today. And you know, the Elon Musk, of it all,” she said, asking Acosta, “What did he do for Donald that was able to give him back all that he gave him back? What did he do, you think, for the Donald in that election?”

But Acosta wasn’t willing to admit that it’s possible to cheat in elections. After all, that would make him a hypocrite after denying that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump.

“It’s hard to believe, I mean, especially now, that he, that he, that he won. I mean, it’s, it is hard to believe that. I mean, I, I tend to, you know, maybe it’s because I’m old-fashioned, you know, and patriotic, and grew up in this country, you know, watching, you know, Tom Hanks and Saving Private Ryan, I would never think that something like that can happen. So I tend to trust it,” he stammered. “But I do worry he’s going to try to steal the next one.”

Rosie took the conspiracy theory even further, claiming that Trump isn’t going to steal the election, but cancel it, calling him a “Fascist.”

“Well, I don’t think he’s going to try to steal it. I think he’s going to come up with some big tragedy. We’re going to have an event here in the United States in some capacity, maybe another assassination attempt, and he’s going to declare that the elections are off,” she said. “That’s what I think is going to happen because that’s in the Fascist playbook.”

Acosta was audibly agreeing with her, saying “yes” as she spewed her insane theories.

Local News Anchor Exits Industry After Calling Out ‘Sanitized’ Journalism

An Iowa television anchor who announced Friday that he is leaving the news industry used his final broadcast to criticize what he described as sanitized journalism.

Dustin Nolan, who has spent years waking up early with viewers as the morning anchor for Davenport’s KWQC-TV, announced he is leaving the news industry for good, and he used his parting moments to take a serious swing at the state of modern journalism. In a passionate goodbye, where he became emotional at times, Nolan thanked the community for letting him into their living rooms every morning.

“I have chosen to step away from the news industry,” Nolan said. “Before I say goodbye, I just want to say, I hope every one of you that’s allowed me to be a part of your mornings knows just how important that I have taken this job [and] how much it means to me that you’ve trusted me these past few years to bring you the news in the morning. I promise you, I’ve given you everything I have. I’ve never tried to be perfect, or what many think a newsman should be, supposed to be, but I have always done my best to be transparent, bringing you the facts, and I’ve always been myself.”

Nolan said local news organizations should do more than follow trends or deliver “sanitized news.”

“I’ve always believed that we, as a local news station, owe you, the viewers, the best that we can do, because without you, none of us would be able to do this job,” the departing anchor continued. “I also believe that we, as a local news station, have to be more than trends or sanitized news, because it makes people feel uncomfortable. That’s why the facts matter, and that’s why we do what we do here. We have to take people out of their bubbles and comfort zones and make them think about the world we all live in.”
