Change of Pace: US, Israel Attack Iran's Energy Infrastructure In Bushehr

Radar signatures suggest that space rocks likely reached the ground. Here's what to look for.

Yahoo News is the most fanatical of the Big Four News Apps, more extreme than its counterparts Apple News, Google News and Microsoft’s MSN.  Not only did Yahoo News more heavily favor left-leaning outlets than the others, it also more aggressively promoted articles from some of the most radical media outlets in America. As the fourth most-widely viewed news site in America, its bias and reach have an enormous impact on American politics and culture.  The Media Research Center tracked Yahoo News’s top 20 daily stories each morning during the month of February (totaling 560 stories) and found that the digital news gatekeeper propped up even more articles from left-leaning outlets (346) than the news sites operated by Apple, Google and Microsoft, while consistently suppressing right-leaning outlets. It also heavily leaned on radical leftist media outlets such as Salon (51) and The New Republic (16).   MRC’s Findings: Yahoo News is the most radical of the Big Four News Apps, promoting left-leaning outlets 87% of the time in its February morning editions. Yahoo News’s promotion of leftist outlets eclipsed the other Big Four News Apps during the month, which includes Apple News (75%), Google News (65%) and Microsoft’s MSN (54%). Yahoo News relied on radical leftist media outlets like Salon (51 articles), The New Republic (16 articles), Al Jazeera (1) and HuffPost (1). Yahoo News has consistently promoted the most radical leftist media outlets since MRC began tracking the morning editions of the Big Four News Apps on November 1, 2025: Salon (149), The New Republic (97), The Daily Beast (5), Rolling Stone (4) and Al Jazeera (2). Yahoo has massive reach. When combining its news (73.9M) and finance (135.6M) sites, the digital news gatekeeper amassed 209.5 million site visits in January 2026, according to Press Gazette. “Don’t overlook Yahoo’s ability to impact the narrative—and always from the left,” warned MRC President David Bozell. “Far from forgotten, Yahoo is the leftist boogeyman hiding in plain sight, and its massive reach and reliance on some of the worst of the worst leftist media outlets underscores its bias problem. Yahoo, like its Big Four News App counterparts, is harming Americans with its blatant agenda by providing an imbalance of coverage that overwhelmingly favors the left.”   Yahoo News Is the Most Radical of the Big Four News Apps Yahoo News ran a total of 397 AllSides-rated top stories in the month of February. Of these, 346 (87%) were from left-leaning outlets, a significantly higher percentage of left-leaning stories than Apple News (75%), Google News (64.5%) and Microsoft’s MSN (55%).  While Apple News and Google News are notorious for sidelining right-leaning outlets, Yahoo News produced even more leftist stories as a percentage of total articles from AllSides-rated outlets than these competitors by more aggressively squeezing out “center” outlets.  Not only did Yahoo News highlight more left-leaning stories in its top morning headlines for the month of February, it also relied heavily on some of the most radical leftist outlets. This included outlets such as Salon, The New Republic, Al Jazeera and HuffPost. Among the left-leaning article headlines, Yahoo News pushed the following: “Abolish ICE? Absolutely — and DHS too,” by Salon, promoted Feb. 28. “A wake-up call for white Americans,” by Salon, promoted Feb. 1. “How to Dismantle a Concentration Camp: Trump’s drive to build a network of detention centers is being met with some robust public resistance[,]” by The New Republic, promoted Feb. 28. “Minneapolis showed how to fight ICE and win,” by Salon, promoted Feb. 13. “Donald Trump is still weird,” by Salon, promoted Feb. 7. “Trump’s Fury at Canada Backfires in Surprise Blow to GOP’s 2026 Hopes,” by The New Republic, promoted Feb. 28. In February 2026, Yahoo News’s top stories only included articles from AllSides-rated “center” outlets six percent of the time, a paltry figure when compared to the other three digital news gatekeepers. Microsoft’s MSN featured stories from center outlets about 34% of the time, with Google News right behind at approximately 33%. Meanwhile, Apple News — which ran only 2% articles from right-leaning outlets in February — could have easily taken the top spot for left-leaning articles, but instead chose articles from center outlets about 23% of the time, nearly four times more frequently than Yahoo News. Yahoo News Has Consistently Promoted the Most Radical Leftist Outlets While the quantity of left-leaning stories published by Yahoo News is without equal, its emphasis on the most radical outlets is also unparalleled. Yahoo News ran a disproportionate number of stories from radical leftist outlets such as Salon, The New Republic and others, which do not even pretend to be balanced or neutral, instead leaning into highly partisan, politically divisive stories. Salon and The New Republic alone accounted for more stories on Yahoo News than all right-leaning stories combined in February. Particularly biased leftist headlines used since November 1, 2025 when MRC Free Speech America began tracking the Big Four News Apps included some blatantly biased stories:  “MAGA loves bad dads,” by Salon, promoted Feb. 16, 2026. “Trump using immigration to subvert the election, official says,” by Salon, promoted Feb. 18, 2026. “Billionaire Jamie Dimon Smacks Down Trump Goon: ‘Grow Up,’ by The Daily Beast, promoted Dec. 8 and Dec. 9, 2025. “Under Trump, workplace harassment can now go unpunished,” by Salon, promoted Jan. 23, 2026. “Trump is something worse than a fascist,” by Salon, promoted Jan. 15, 2026. “JD Vance doesn’t believe in free speech,” by Salon, promoted Feb. 17, 2026. “Why Trump’s creepy emails work for MAGA faithful,” by Salon, promoted Feb. 24, 2026. “Ted Cruz Freaks Out on Fox News About Election Disaster,” by The New Republic, promoted Nov. 6, 2025. “Stories like these sound like the campaign rhetoric coming straight from the Democratic Party,” said MRC Free Speech America Director Michael Morris. “It is getting more and more difficult to tell the difference between partisan propaganda and so-called ‘news’ from the elitist media. It is no wonder why the American public no longer trusts the media.” Yahoo News Still Has Massive Reach Yahoo News (ranked 17th) and Yahoo Finance (ranked 6th) combined for 209,500,000 website visits in the month of January 2026, according to the Press Gazette. Together, this makes Yahoo the fourth most visited news outlet in the U.S. Such a prominent news aggregator should be providing a less partisan, more balanced array of news to its audience. But it does not. Yahoo News published a total of only 29 stories from right-leaning outlets, a mere 7% of the AllSides-rated top stories it promoted in the mornings throughout February. Since all of these 29 stories were from Fox News, Yahoo News essentially banned every other right-leaning outlet in the world. It published no stories from the New York Post, Breitbart, The Washington Times, The Federalist, the Washington Examiner or The Daily Wire, to name a few. Yahoo News highlighted approximately twelve times more left-leaning than right-leaning stories, a far cry from balanced news. According to a report from the Reuters Institute, “engagement with traditional media sources such as TV, print, and news websites continues to fall, while dependence on social media, video platforms, and online aggregators grows,” particularly in the United States. Indeed, according to Pew Research Center, 86% of Americans turn to their digital devices for news “at least sometimes.” Methodology: During the time period Feb. 1 - 28, 2026, MRC researchers examined the top 20 stories featured on Yahoo News each day at approximately 8:30 AM ET. MRC researchers used the AllSides media bias ratings, which categorize an outlet as “left,” “lean left,” “center,” “lean right” or “right” to determine the overall bias presented by Apple News and analyzed the results.  Free speech is under attack!

Selling one’s soul to the devil for fame, money, or power is an age-old trope. Elites have long dismissed it as nothing more than a conspiracy theory perpetuated by “satanic panic” Bible beaters, but is there any truth to this legendary exchange?In her March 10 podcast episode, actress Candace Cameron Bure, best known for her role as D.J. Tanner in the iconic sitcom “Full House,” suggested that it’s more than just a theory. The outspoken Christian revealed that she’s personally stared Hollywood’s dark underbelly in the face.On a recent episode of “Strange Encounters,” BlazeTV host Rick Burgess reacted to Bure’s anecdote and exposed the truth about Hollywood’s depravity. On the “Candace Cameron Bure Podcast,” Bure told her co-host Madison Prewett Troutt about a time when she and her husband, former NHL hockey player Valeri Bure, accidentally attended an S&M themed party.“I went to a party once with Val because we were married, and it ended up being this underground party that was an S&M like sex thing that was so dark and demonic,” she recounted, adding that her “eyeballs were popping out of [her] head.”The scene was so shocking that the couple immediately left. “We made a hard U-turn and walked right out of there,” she recalled.“It was just so slimy and weird. ... We just had no idea what we were walking into. And it was so disgusting and gross.”The “Full House” star has long been open about rejecting Hollywood’s moral compromises. On the “Stay True Podcast” last year, she explained: “I was just honestly never the kid that wanted to do the risky thing, that wanted to use my body or my sexuality to get ahead or my morality meant more to me, and my character has always meant more to me than the success of things.”Rick reads between the lines of Bure’s comments.“What she's saying is there were moments she got scripts and there were things in the script she didn't want to do,” he says, implying that Bure’s dedication to her Christian values might have cost her opportunities because she refused to participate in the “underground demonic world of Hollywood.”He rejects the notion that Hollywood infuses depravity into film and music “because that's what the people want.”“That's not true because we know that really family-oriented movies and shows have far bigger numbers than any of this garbage. No, it's an agenda. It's coming from a dark place,” he warns.To hear more of Rick’s commentary, watch the full episode above.Want more from Rick Burgess?To enjoy more bold talk and big laughs, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

A male was caught on video punching a Philadelphia-area crossing guard in the face and knocking her out in front of elementary students Monday afternoon.The incident took place outside Walnut Street Elementary School in Darby Borough shortly after 3:30 p.m., WPVI-TV reported. 'Her children go to this school, so can you imagine? They shouldn't have to witness anything like that.'Authorities told the station the guard was helping students cross the street when a male exited his car, chased her down the sidewalk, and punched her in the face."It's disgusting," Darby Borough Police Chief Joe Gabe told WPVI. "She stated an unknown male exited a Nissan Altima and came at her in an aggressive manner, chased her down the street, about a quarter of the way down the block, grabbed her, and struck her in the face with his left fist."RELATED: 3 females dragged Philly crossing guard off bus when she tried to escape brutal beating, detective says; suspects arrested Surveillance video captured the attack; it shows the male chasing the guard down a sidewalk until she stops next to a school bus. The male gets in her face, brutally punches her, she falls backward to the ground, and he runs off.She told police she was knocked unconscious as the male ran back to his car and drove away, the station said.The chief told WPVI it's believed the suspect may have been angry about waiting in traffic: "He may have been upset with having to wait for her to cross children off of the school bus there."Gabe added to the station that the suspect was yelling profanities as he drove through the intersection prior to the attack: "When he was approaching her, he was yelling more obscenities at her before he grabbed her and struck her in the face."The crossing guard suffered swelling to her face, WPVI said, adding that police said she regained consciousness, walked home, and then called authorities.The station said the crossing guard didn't report to work Tuesday, and a male crossing guard took her place."We just spoke to her, she's feeling OK, but she's very shaken up over what happened yesterday and is worried to go back to her position as a crossing guard," Gabe added to WPVI.Dionne Galloway, a school district employee, added to the station that "I see her every day. She's a part of this family, this school district. She crosses these children every day. She's always on time. She's always helpful. I just hope she recovers and is safe. Her children go to this school, so can you imagine? They shouldn't have to witness anything like that."Police told WPVI they're asking for the public's help in identifying the suspect, who was seen driving a gold Nissan Altima. However, police added to the station that the car didn't have a license plate and had a paper tag in the window."It's terrible that a person would come up, just out of nowhere, just maybe frustrated with traffic or having to wait, and goes over and assaults this woman," the chief told WPVI. "A male goes over and assaults this woman in front of children and has no problem doing it."Gabe also has a message for the suspect, the station noted: "We are tracking you down, and we're hoping that we will be able to find you and have you prosecuted. So the best thing to do is to turn yourself in."Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

I’ve been sick the past couple days. In the last 48 hours, I’ve probably spent more time in bed during the day than I have in the past three years combined. It’s been miserable. But more than that, it’s been terrible feeling so useless.I tried to work as much as I could, but with a fever, my brain turns to mush. Even doing my best, my productivity wasn’t much to write home about. I couldn’t really sleep, so I spent most of the days in a groggy state — lying in bed, looking at my phone.Maybe friction is essential to life. We imagine wanting a life with no demands, no stress, no deadlines — but maybe we go soft without them.Really, I was doomscrolling and “bed-rotting,” as our Zoomer friends call it.I only did it for a couple days, but it was brutal on my mind and spirit. I can only imagine what it does to capable young adults who live like this. No wonder so many Zoomers feel listless, nihilistic — just sort of blah.Pajama punditryFeeling useless is bad enough on its own. It’s worse when you’re a spectator, scrolling through short-form videos of other people doing more interesting things. It’s like being kicked when you’re down. Psychological masochism.There’s something especially bleak about the “bed” in bed-rotting. I’m someone who gets up and gets dressed, who puts on shoes in the morning and takes them off at night. Spending the middle of the day in bed feels wrong in a deeper way. It makes me feel lazy. For some reason, scrolling on the couch at 1 p.m. doesn’t feel as bad as doing it in bed at 1 p.m. Same behavior — but the setting seals the degradation.“I can’t even rouse myself from bed. I can’t even pretend to engage with the world. I’m just waiting for it to get dark again so I can sleep.”That’s the feeling. It’s deeply depressing.Reflecting on a few days of this has clarified something — not just about younger generations, but something more universal: The problem isn’t just distraction. It’s uselessness.RELATED: Most men buy their clothes too small Bettman/Getty ImagesNeedless to sayWe need to be needed. That’s the core of it. From love to work to everything in between, being needed gives shape to our lives. When we aren’t needed, we feel it. Even when we say we want a break, want to get away, want to escape the demands — after a while, the absence of need starts to itch. We want it back.This is why people without children get dogs. They need to be needed. Simple.It’s also why the looming threat of AI-induced uselessness is so unsettling. If you follow discussions about AI and the future of work, the forecasts can look bleak. Whether or not the worst predictions come true, it’s worth asking what happens if they do.Give me frictionIf large swaths of the workforce are replaced or managed by AI, millions of people could find themselves both unemployed and unneeded. The optimistic view says we’ll have universal basic income — and everyone will be free, comfortable, and happier than ever.You can only believe that if you misunderstand human nature. We need to work. We need to be rewarded for what we do. We don’t actually want everything handed to us. Five-year-olds might — but not 45-year-olds. And even if we think we do, that feeling dulls quickly. The need to be needed comes back.Maybe friction is essential to life. We imagine wanting a life with no demands, no stress, no deadlines — but maybe we go soft without them. Maybe we lose something vital when nothing is required of us.Being needed might be one of the most precious conditions we have, especially in a world moving toward automation and away from human necessity. Preserving that — ensuring people are needed — may be one of the most important challenges of the next decade.Because it doesn’t matter if we have everything we want — if we’re well-fed and comfortable. If we aren’t needed, we aren’t fulfilled.

Former Democrat Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (Ill.) faced a brutal primary loss after attempting to revive his political career in the aftermath of a corruption scandal. Jackson represented Illinois in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1995 until 2012, when he resigned, citing health issues amid a federal investigation into his campaign's finances. Jackson, son of the late civil rights activist Jesse Jackson Sr., pled guilty in 2013 and was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison for misusing approximately $750,000 worth of campaign funds for personal expenses. 'A terrible night for anti-Israel candidates.'Jackson ultimately served 17 months more than a decade ago. His name recognition and political experience were not enough to secure the Democratic nomination for Illinois' 2nd Congressional District on Tuesday. He earned just 29% of the primary vote, while Cook County Commissioner Donna Miller won with 40.4% of the vote. Jackson's scandal-ridden track record was not the only force working against him. As in other primaries across the country, a very powerful lobbying group put its thumb on the scale, likely costing Jackson the race. RELATED: Jasmine Crockett claims voters were 'disenfranchised' following crushing defeat in key Texas primary Photo by Saul LOEB/AFP/Getty ImagesThe American Israel Public Affairs Committee has successfully ousted anti-Israel Democrats like former Reps. Jamaal Bowman (N.Y.) and Cori Bush (Mo.), and Tuesday night was no exception. AIPAC touted a pro-Israel winning streak, saying the organization helped "defeat six would-be Squad members" in the Illinois primaries."Six up… Six down!" AIPAC said in a post on X. "A great night for the pro-Israel community and a terrible night for anti-Israel candidates.""Tonight’s results tell a critical story: centering campaigns on attacking Israel and demonizing pro-Israel Americans is a losing strategy."RELATED: 'Judgement Day is coming': Ken Paxton advances with establishment incumbent in key Texas primary Antonio Perez/Chicago Tribune/Tribune News Service/Getty ImagesJackson was not an overly anti-Israel candidate, but AIPAC deemed Miller more supportive of its cause compared to the former congressman. Miller was reportedly able to rake in support from an AIPAC-aligned group that spent over $4 million on promoting her campaign. Illinois' 2nd Congressional District is heavily Democrat, and Miller is expected to secure the House seat in November. Like Blaze News?
