The Left's Schizophrenia About 'Culture'

On Sunday, NBC Meet The Press host Kristen Welker gave a classic example of what makes the mainstream media so hopelessly biased. During her interview with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Welker grilled the Trump official and following up with questions which were often based on answers to the questions she asked. But Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, an extreme lefty, saw no such scrutiny. He went uninterrupted, with zero follow ups, while trashing President Trump in nearly every answer.  During her 14 minutes with Noem, Welker addressed multiple issues related to the shooting of the two National Guardsmen in Washington D.C. and the Afghan National who shot them, including the vetting process and the future of those now in this country, following up almost every Noem answer with another question. WELKER: I want to follow up with you, you say something very notable, you say he was radicalized here...why did the Trump Administration grant the suspect asylum in April? Did you know then that he was moving toward radicalization? NOEM: ..Kristen, you need to remember that when this abandonment of Afghanistan happened, the Biden administration put people on airplanes, brought them to the United States without vetting them. They brought them into our country and then said they would vet them afterwards... WELKER: ..But in terms of what happened on the Trump Administration's watch, just to be very clear, what vetting did the Trump Administration do before giving this suspect asylum? You get the picture. A thorough grilling, with a focus on attempting to blame Trump, trying to overturn Noem's focus on Biden. She began her Walz by teeing him up to attack Trump: "President Trump has responded by vowing to crack down on refugees, including from countries beyond Afghanistan, specifically targeting the Somali community in your home state. He also described you using a slur widely regarded as derogatory towards people with intellectual disabilities." Trump called Walz "seriously retarded." Walz gave an uninterrupted answer for two minutes, which included: "He's (Trump) normalized this type of hateful behavior and this type of language.. First I think he's not a good human being but secondly to distract from his incompetency.. But again, this is cruelty, this is meanness." At least Welker asked Walz if he took any responsibility for a billion dollars in fraud from the Somalis in Minnesota. Walz dodged: "Well, certainly, I take responsibility for putting people in jail." He also accused Trump of demonizing the Somali community. No follow up. Later, she went back to Trump's Thanksgiving Eve post, and Walz's post in response to it. WELKER: Part of your initial response to President Trump's post was, to call for him to release the results of his MRI, and I want to give you a chance to give our viewers a sense, what were you suggesting by that? A softball toss if ever there was one, and Walz was ready. WALZ: Well, here we got a guy on Thanksgiving, where we spent time with our families, we ate, we played Yahtzee, we cheered for football, or whatever. This guy is apparently in a room, ranting about everything else. This is not normal behavior. It is not healthy....So, look, it's clear the president's fading physically. I think the mental capacity, again, ranting, you know, crazily at midnight on Thanksgiving about everything else, there are reasons for us to be concerned....So, I am deeply concerned that he is incapable of doing the job. Even on a question on Kamala Harris condemning their universal "recklessness" in never questioning Biden's capacity for another four years in office, Walz was allowed to bash Trump. WALZ: Ageism is a real thing. Ableism is a real thing that we need to be careful of with people. And I think Donald Trump made a cottage industry out of attacking Joe Biden's competency. And it seemed like that got reported a lot. Now, whether that decision should have been made sooner, history will determine that....if that's the case, it should certainly be applied right now to this President, who is putting Americans at risk, (he) is reckless and is not doing what he's asked to do, make life better for the American people. Welker then turned to a vague question about who's running for president in 2028. That's five questions from Welker to Walz, almost six and a half uninterrupted and unchallenged minutes of answers, loaded with gratuitous shots at President Trump. It was quite different from the consistent hardballs Welker was throwing Noem. PS: Who is Walz to condemn hateful speech? Tim Walz: Trump has normalized hateful behavior and language. Also Tim Walz: We need to be meaner and bully the sh*t out of Trump. We should 'demonize' people like Elon Musk. Fantasizes about 'news' of Trump being dead. pic.twitter.com/7oD5l4wNfE — Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) December 1, 2025

The Washington Post and others were upset when the White House created a new web page to name a worst "Media Offender of the Week." How dare they call us "misleading" and "biased" and challenge the "rigorous" journalism of the elitist media!   Associate editor Nick Fondacaro and senior research analyst/video editor Bill D'Agostino joined the show. The Post gave this the headline “Trump ramps up reporter attacks with White House media bias tracker.” We have a rejoinder: “The Washington Post ramps up attacks on president.” Daily. They act like they never attack anyone. Post media reporter Scott Nover described the page as “devoted to naming and shaming media outlets and reporters that publish stories it disagrees with.” It’s not just about disagreement. Yes, the president disagrees when you “report” he is a Nazi or the Russians installed him in office. To the Post, the best journalism is the most vicious anti-Trump journalism, with Nover trotting out a Post "spokesperson" to express: “The Washington Post is proud of its accurate, rigorous journalism." But an extreme anti-Trump animus can lead to reckless and abusive coverage, and that’s often what appears in the paper that’s still revered for taking down Richard Nixon.  Plus: You won't believe Jim Acosta's new boycott idea. On MS NOW’s Velshi, guest host Charles Coleman asked Acosta about Trump being rude to female reporters. Typically,  liberal journalists think you can exhibit maximum rudeness to Trump – like calling him Hitler – but he is not allowed to be rude in return. But Acosta’s strategy in response – for the anti-Trump press to stop covering Trump until he behaves – would be a huge win for the White House. But we suspect that since he's no longer in the White House press corps, it's easy for him to tell everyone else to walk away. Then we discussed other issues, like the breaking-news coverage of the shooting of two National Guard members, which Curtis Houck was posting in real time. MS NOW was busy lamenting that National Guard uniforms were somehow triggering, and wondering if the National Guard will refuse to obey Trump. George Conway was a guest on Saturday's edition of The Weekend on MS NOW. Conway has announced that he is thinking of running for Congress in New York’s 12th Congressional District—one of the most liberal districts in the country – as a Democrat. So naturally, host Eugene Daniels introduced Conway as a "conservative" lawyer. When will they stop with this absurd charade?  On Friday's CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip, Katie Miller, the wife of White House aide Stephen Miller, confronted Phillip for not defending her husband when Jennifer Welch called him a white supremacist and a 'Nazi Jew' on a podcast where Phillip was a guest in October. Phillip's response was, "Well look, I can't, I can't speak to what Stephen Miller's motivations are." She expects the Republicans to cast out their haters, but she won’t do it. Welch appears on her show without fuss. Enjoy the video podcast below. The audio is here. 

Republican Rep. Nancy Mace's South Carolina gubernatorial campaign set its sights on a former consultant after he took to social media to air his grievances. Austin McCubbin, a longtime Republican operative and former adviser to Mace's campaign, dramatically exited her team on Monday, accusing the candidate of being disloyal to President Donald Trump. In a lengthy post on X, McCubbin claimed Mace "decided to turn her back on MAGA" only to "hug the political cactus that is the Rand Paul + Thomas Massie wing of the Party." 'When he demanded $10,000 a month for "services" and was told no, he ran straight to X.'"My name has been used publicly, while going back on her word to pay me, to trade on my Team Trump status and to work on her behalf with the White House, and I am 100% breaking with her campaign out of loyalty to the President," McCubbin said. Mace's campaign strongly pushed back and painted a much different picture than what McCubbin was claiming. "Mr. McCubbin didn’t raise a dime for the campaign or, better yet, never even bothered showing up," a spokesperson for Mace's campaign told Blaze News. "When he demanded $10,000 a month for 'services' and was told no, he ran straight to X. Good luck with that."RELATED: 'You're a piece of s**t': Nancy Mace and Cory Mills clash in heated exchange after failed censure Photo by Win McNamee/Getty Images"Nancy Mace has stood with President Trump since Day ONE.

Mace said. "Those who rely on the elite. The powerful. The establishment. Are completely out of touch. Tone Deaf. To the needs of the powerless."Like Blaze News?
