DNI John Ratcliffe joined Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures on Sunday. This was his first interview since being sworn in as Director of National Intelligence (DNI). DNI Ratcliffe told Maria why he was forced to send written briefings to Congress — too many lawmakers (Democrats) were leaking! DNI John Ratcliffe: Within minutes of one of those briefings ending a number of members of Congress went to a number of publications and leaked classified information again, for political purposes, to create a narrative that simply isn’t true. That somehow Russia is a greater national security threat than China. So I’m going […]

A graphic used by CNN to break down speakers at the Republican National Convention described Nick Sandmann as someone who “sued major media outlets over viral video,” leaving out important details, including their own settlement. The graphic, spotted by reporter Cameron Gray, also provided no image for Sandmann, despite doing so for others. While CNN’s description is technically correct, it is quite misleading. It is true Sandmann sued major media outlets, including CNN, but these were defamation suits stemming from a 2019 video showing the former Covington Catholic High School student seemingly mocking Nathan Phillips, a Native American protester taking part […]
If you want a hot take about the Middle East, Raphael Badani is your man. As a Newsmax “Insider” columnist, he has thoughts about how Iraq needs to rid itself of Iranian influence to attract investment and why Dubai is an oasis of stability in a turbulent region. His career as a “geopolitical risk consultant and interactive simulation designer” and an “international relations senior analyst” for the Department of Labor have given him plenty of insights about the Middle East. He’s printed those insights at a range of conservative outlets like the Washington Examiner, RealClear Markets, American Thinker, and The National […]

Social media giant Twitter took the step of suspending the […]
When federal prosecutors charged Jack Abramoff on Thursday with an illicit conspiracy to promote a cryptocurrency, they alleged that the disgraced lobbyist hired writers to help him with his scheme. The indictment did not name names. But new court documents point squarely to an employee of The Daily Caller and other conservative media outlets. Abramoff, who served almost four years in prison for his wide-ranging Washington influence peddling schemes, found himself in legal hot water again this week for his attempts to promote AML Bitcoin, a supposedly “anti-money laundering” cryptocurrency created by Texan businessman Marcus Andrade. As part of his duties, Abramoff […]

The US State Department has reclassified four Chinese news outlets as “foreign missions,” declaring them “propaganda outlets” and imposing strict controls on their ability to employ journalists and conduct business in the US. Chinese outlets Global Times, China Central Television, China News Service, and People’s Daily have joined a growing list of state-run outlets subjected to intensified scrutiny as the media war between Beijing and Washington heats up. State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus announced the additions on Monday, proclaiming the named organizations are “effectively controlled by the government of the People’s Republic of China.” “These four outlets are not media outlets; […]
US State Propaganda Outlets Censor Black Lives Matter Protests By Yasha Levine, Immigrants as a Weapon June 14, 2020 US State Propaganda Outlets Censor Black Lives Matter Protests2020-06-142020-06-14https://popularresistance-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2017/12/popres-shorter.pngPopularResistance.Orghttps://popularresistance-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2020/06/george-floyd-black-lives-matter-protest-e1592101990894.jpg200px200px It’s hard for Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty to sell the USA as a shining example of civil liberties and democracy when the internet is drowning in pics of American killer cops beating down on anyone in sight. It looks like the main US regime propaganda outlet, Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty (RFE/RL), is censoring and downplaying the orgy of police violence that’s being unleashed against people protesting killer cops and […]

Under FBI orders, Facebook and Google removed American Herald Tribune, an alternative site that publishes US and European writers critical of US foreign policy. The bureau’s justification for the removal was dubious, and it sets a troubling precedent for other critical outlets. The FBI has publicly justified its suppression of dissenting online views about US foreign policy if a […]
Kayleigh McEnany President Trump’s new White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany on Wednesday ripped media outlets for pretending they never downplayed the threat of the Coronavirus. A pompous liberal reporter tried to play gotcha games with Kayleigh McEnany during a press briefing and ended up getting humiliated instead. The fake news media back in January criticized President Trump for implementing a travel restriction on incoming flights from China. Washington Post, New York Times, NPR and other left-wing advocacy groups posing as media outlets downplayed the Coronavirus in January, February and even March while President Trump was making bold moves to minimize […]
