The "Big Four News Apps" -- Apple, Google, MSN, and Yahoo! -- have a nasty habit of promoting not just "news" sites, but trashy opinion bins like the Daily Beast, Salon, and Rolling Stone. MRC Free Speech America studied 100 days of GOP primaries, and these "curators" are heavily leaning on negative midterm messages. Free Speech America Director Michael Morris, and FSA Associate Editor Luis Cornelio share their latest research. Out of at least 155 stories published about the GOP primaries and Trump-backed candidates, 124 stories (80%) were sourced from left-leaning media outlets with reliably hostile coverage, while only eight stories (5%) came from AllSides-rated right-leaning counterparts. Additionally, just 21 stories (13%) were from AllSides-rated centrist outlets. --Google published a May 20 article from The Guardian headlined, “Trump’s allies in danger of scraping false hope from Maga victory in Kentucky primary.” This piece compared Trump to a “cult leader” and claimed that he runs the GOP like a “mob boss.” Also: “Dems Stunningly Flip Seat in Major Humiliation for Trump,” by The Daily Beast, promoted March 13. And: "Accused Sexual Harasser GOP Candidate Steps Down, An Apparent Neo-Nazi Takes His Place,” by Rolling Stone, promoted on March 7. Yahoo: “Texas primary shows that MAGA loves a villain,” by Salon’s kooky Amanda Marcotte, was promoted on March 4. In another new study, MRC researchers asked seven AI chatbots—Anthropic’s Claude, Google Gemini, Grok by xAI, Meta AI, Microsoft Copilot, OpenAI’s ChatGPT, and Perplexity AI—whether children should participate in Pride Month celebrations. Grok alone challenged whether child participation in “Pride” is good for child welfare, noting that their broad inclusion “lacks justification from developmental science, biology, and child protection principles.” Meanwhile, the other AI chatbots implicitly promoted the celebration of Pride Month with the assurance that there are plenty of family-friendly “Pride” activities and that children can learn inclusivity and how to be an “ally” from such events.  Elon Musk’s Grok presented a strong case for why parents should feel these events are not family-friendly: “No, not in the form of ideological affirmation, medicalized framing, or exposure to adult sexual themes.” The chatbot added, “Parents may choose limited, age-appropriate involvement for their own children, but broad participation—especially school-led, parades with mixed adult content, or early gender identity lessons—lacks justification from developmental science, biology, and child protection principles.” Grok also cautioned that “Adult Pride has historical roots in sexual liberation,” adding that “blending with children invites premature sexualization.” We also discussed how Yahoo News elevated Scott Pelley's firing from CBS News as its number one placement in its top 20 stories on June 3, but it chose to rely on a piece from left-leaning outlet Deadline. Yahoo’s headline for the Deadline piece was loaded “Fired Scott Pelley Decries ‘Heartbreaking’ Submission To Trump By CBS, Paramount: ‘Incompetence & Unprofessionalism In The New Management Have Wreaked Havoc.’” This badly disguised press release included Pelley’s full post-firing statement was included about how he was pressured to inject bias (like it was never there before).

According to recent studies, mandatory voter identification, as outlined in the SAVE Act, is extremely popular, with up to 84 percent of the American public in favor. A very small minority, mostly on the far-left, oppose voter I.D., but with that far-left side taking over the mainstream Democratic Party, including congressional Democrats and their mouthpieces in the liberal media, you’ll hear more unhinged rants against the SAVE Act, like the one from Wednesday’s episode of MS NOW’s The 11th Hour, which has only gotten more radical since the hairless prophet of doom, Ali Velshi, took over the show. Velshi welcomed Brittany Cooper, an “associate professor of women’s and gender studies and African studies at Rutgers University,” and author of a book called Eloquent Rage: A Black Feminist Discovers Her Superpower. With that byline already evoking deadly levels of cringe in the hearts of unfortunate listeners, we know exactly what’s about to come out of this so-called academic’s mouth. Nominally, she was there to discuss Trump nominating Jay Clayton for Director of National Intelligence, but the segment immediately devolved into a TDS-fueled tirade. From calling the President a “ringmaster. . . doing a bunch of attention-seeking things” to describing his actions as “instituting maximum chaos,” there was not a shred of objective analysis to be found.      Co-panelist Aaron Parnas, who had a much more legitimate background in the subject, tried to get in on the fun and actually address Velshi’s questions, but was outdone by Cooper and her raging about the SAVE Act: I think we have to remember, too, there's not just a racial dimension to this. This administration is stridently anti-women, stridently anti-queer. And so the SAVE Act also has particular effects for married women.  Cooper also tried to claim Republicans’ goal “was for everybody to become a tradwife.” Despite her credentials as a sexuality studies professor, Cooper automatically assumed that each married woman had married a man and taken her husband’s last name, which Velshi didn’t dispute. Further, she made this claim about what the SAVE Act would result in: What they want is a world where men make all of decisions, where particularly moneyed men, white men, straight men make the decisions. And so they are systematically moving in ways that make that a reality. The far left can’t oppose the SAVE Act’s real agenda to prevent non-citizens from voting, because the vast majority of Americans favor it, so instead they make up baseless claims about how the legislation will ban all married women from voting or imply they are too stupid to figure out how to get a government I.D. and use it to vote. From there, they can smear the Trump administration as sexist, despite Trump picking Susie Wiles as the first female White House chief of staff, and the considerable effort the administration is pouring into preventing more brutal murders of young women like Laken Riley, Jocelyn Nungaray, and Sheridan Gorman.  The transcript is below.

This is the place that this - ALI VELSHI: Yes. COOPER: - case has sort of, you know, been staged. But it's also historically where the Supreme Court used Louisiana to institute segregationist policies.  I think we have to remember, too, there's not just a racial dimension to this. This administration is stridently anti-women, stridently anti-queer. And so the SAVE Act also has particular effects for married women.  VELSHI: Yes. COOPER: But I thought that the goal on this side was for everybody to become a tradwife-- ALI VELSHI: Yes, yes-- COOPER: --so I don't understand why now, you know, we're seeing young women say online-- VELSHI: Which, by the way, if you get married and you take your husband's name or you get divorced and you don't, and you try and vote, you could get in trouble under the SAVE Act. COOPER: That's right, that's right.  And so if your documents don't - don't-- VELSHI AND COOPER: --match-- COOPER: --your name-- VELSHI: Yeah. COOPER: --then you can't vote.  And this is also evidence, or a reason for us to think about the fact that the things that we do, for instance, to undocumented people and the things that we do around weaponizing access to your documents can affect citizens too-- VELSHI: Yes. COOPER: --because they have tested this out on the most vulnerable.  But really, what they want is a world where men make all of decisions, where particularly moneyed men, white men, straight men make the decisions. And so, they are systematically moving in ways that make that a reality. (...)

The alleged ringleader of the foiled terror attack targeting Sunday’s UFC Freedom 250 White House event is an illegal alien allowed to remain in the U.S. by the Obama Administration under its Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. “The alleged RINGLEADER of the failed terror attack targeting UFC Freedom 250 is an ILLEGAL ALIEN,” the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reported in a social media post on Thursday, noting that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is seeking custody of him, via a detainer request: “Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez, from Mexico, planned, organized, and directed the planned attack. He was arrested by the @FBI on June 14, and @ICEgov has lodged a detainer against him. “Alvarez FAILED to leave the country when his B2 tourist visa expired in 2001. He was granted DACA by the Obama administration.” “This illegal alien should NEVER have been allowed in our country — and we will ensure he faces justice and is swiftly removed from our nation,” the DHS post adds. The 31 year-old illegal alien from Mexico was arrested in Omaha, Nebraska on Sunday by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for his alleged involvement in the plot to carry out a mass-casualty attack against government officials and other attendees at Sunday’s event at the White House.  Alvarez is one of five suspected co-conspirators were arrested over the weekend – and is their alleged ringleader. The FBI has determined that Alvarez detailed the plot in an encrypted group chat, including the planned use of “counter sniper(s) and drones,” with the explicit intention of being “as deadly as we can get.” Alvarez entered the United States on a B2 visitor visa and failed to depart before it expired in December 2001. In 2014, the Obama Administration granted him Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), enabling him to avoid deportation. “From his home here in Nebraska, Alvarez allegedly directed and recruited others across the country to conduct a horrific attack against government officials in a mass casualty event. Our team worked around the clock to locate and apprehend Alvarez, take him into custody, and collect crucial evidence,” Special Agent in Charge Eugene Kowel of the FBI Omaha field office said in Tuesday in a statement released by the U.S. Justice Department. The contentious DACA anti-deportation program for illegal aliens was announced by the Obama Administration’s U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in 2012. It was designed to allow illegal aliens who entered the U.S. as children to remain in the country for renewable two-year periods. It provides recipients with protection from removal and potential eligibility for employment authorization. DACA applications are adjudicated by DHS's U.S. Citizenship and During the period of deferred action, a DACA recipient is considered to be in a period of stay authorized by DHS. A DACA recipient may be granted permission to travel abroad for educational, employment, or humanitarian purposes. According to USCIS, it has discretion to terminate a DACA grant at any time. It will typically provide the DACA recipient with a notice and an opportunity to respond before termination but may not do so in the case of an individual who is convicted of certain types of criminal offenses. DACA recipients are not granted, or put on a pathway to, a lawful immigration status. If otherwise eligible, however, a DACA recipient may be able to obtain lawful immigration status under an existing immigration pathway. According to DHS, more than 100,000 DACA recipients have become lawful permanent residents (LPRs). The DACA initiative was announced by then-DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano in a June 15, 2012, DHS memorandum entitled, "Exercising Prosecutorial Discretion with Respect to Individuals Who Came to the United States as Children."DHS has defined "prosecutorial discretion" as "the legal authority to choose whether or not to take action against an individual for committing an offense."

The American news media are covering up one of the most horrific cases of mass-sexual abuse and violence perpetrated against young girls in recent history. On Tuesday, an independent initiative in the UK, chaired by Reform MP Rupert Lowe, released a 219-page report documenting decades of rampant sexual abuse, torture, and trafficking perpetrated against as many as 250,000 underage British girls, primarily by Pakistani Muslims. The report details numerous cases of horrific gang rape and sexual torture — some of it too graphic to describe here — which, perhaps most alarmingly, were covered up or even partly facilitated by the British government. Despite the notoriously leftist British media’s desire to avoid the story, news of the report circulated widely throughout the UK populace. The story was just too big for the media to suppress. In America, however, where the average person is unlikely to have heard much (if anything) about MP Rupert Lowe and his Rape Gang Inquiry, media censorship is far more likely to succeed at keeping the public in the dark about this modern atrocity.  And censor they have. MRC analysts who examined all coverage on left-leaning cable (CNN and MS NOW) and broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS) could not find a single on-air mention of the report as of 4:00 p.m. on June 18, more than two full days after it was published. It’s not as though these networks are unconcerned with British politics; both CBS and NBC have mentioned UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer on-air as recently as Wednesday, June 17. That same day, PBS aired a nearly 12-minute interview with British Bloomberg reporter Stephanie Flanders, which focused entirely on the dynamics currently at play in UK politics.  Flanders even mentioned Lowe specifically, but only in the context of the “far right” rising to prominence in her country. British journalist Stephanie Flanders just spent 12 minutes discussing UK politics on Amanpour & Co. NOT ONE MENTION of the just-released report detailing the mass-rape of 250,000 young girls in her own country. Here she is talking about the "normalization" of the "far right." pic.twitter.com/EGpJoLXWmJ — Bill D'Agostino (@Banned_Bill) June 17, 2026 The reason for the corporate media’s silence is as familiar as it is predictable: they fear that covering the Rape Inquiry would further fuel anti-immigration sentiment in the U.S., which in turn might cause problems for their favorite pro-open borders political party. Given almost every left-wing journalist in the country voted for a President who spent four years literally flying illegal immigrants into the country on the taxpayer’s dime, it’s no surprise they see this story as too politically dangerous to cover. The American news media are going beyond abdicating their journalistic duty in refusing to cover so monumental an atrocity, especially one involving one of America’s closest and oldest allies. In refusing even to acknowledge the indescribable suffering inflicted on untold thousands of innocent British girls — some as young as four years old — the corporate media are prioritizing the political prospects of the Democratic party above the well-being of a quarter of a million children.
