On CBS News Sunday Morning, the weekend magazine show went in-depth on Iranian A.I. LEGO propaganda, as senior contributor Ted Koppel seemed mesmerized by its musical prowess. The report also went into special focus on Iranian propaganda videos that connected the war to the Epstein Files to an alleged Israeli blackmail scheme, which Koppel gave little pushback to. Koppel interviewed a person who created some Lego propaganda videos, who a translator said should be called “Mr. Explosive.” He described Mr. Explosive as a person who had “put Iran’s message into LEGO format.” The propagandist said, “LEGO is a universal language” as Koppel wondered, “I get it. I speak no Farsi. The translator speaks limited English. Which raises this interesting question. Who is doing that silky rap on all those videos.”   Earlier in the report, Koppel interviewed James Rubin, a former Biden Special Envoy and Clinton Assistant Sec. of State, to blame the Trump Admin for the rise of Iran propaganda. He complained, "The entire description of our policy is now controlled by the White House." pic.twitter.com/iPAoDAxP5H — Nick (@nspin310) May 26, 2026   Koppel then interviewed James Rubin, former Clinton Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs and CNN/PBS anchor Christiane Amanpour’s ex-husband and current podcast co-host, to blame the Iran propaganda’s apparent success on cuts to the State Department, cuts that occurred in 2024, a year before the Second Trump Administration entered office. Rubin exclaimed the usual talking points: This is a painful subject because we haven't followed the rules, the basic requirements to build support for a military action. It has to start with a good cause, an urgent cause, a cause that people agree with. It has to include allies, and then it has to have a trusted messenger. It pains me to say this, but right now we don't have any of those qualities in this war with Iran. Koppel connected this comment to changes to the closing of the State Department’s Global Engagement Center, as Rubin then complained “the entire description of our policy is now controlled by the White House. If you have to go back to the White House to get approval for every sentence, every rebuttal, every response, you have lost the game. You have lost the war, the information war.” The CBS story moved back to discuss the meme war, as Koppel played White House videos with war footage paired with video from NFL games, SpongeBob, and other aspects of pop culture along with Trump Truth Social posts. Koppel and CBS asked the White House for a person to interview on the topic, which the White House responded to with a statement which started with, “Why is CBS News doing propaganda for a terrorist regime?”   On CBS News Sunday Morning, Ted Koppel was mesmerized by Iranian AI propaganda and made a connection to the Epstein Files. In a report, he interviewed a creator of AI propaganda, who wanted to be called "Mr. Explosive," and stated: "You're saying that Israel used information… pic.twitter.com/oB3St9zKIQ — Nick (@nspin310) May 26, 2026   After the statement was read, Koppel connected the propaganda to the Epstein Files, which Iran has used in their A.I. videos: These days, Iran has zeroed in on the Epstein Files and the charge that Israel somehow used those files to draw America into the war. He returned to interview Mr. Explosive, “You're saying that Israel used information from the Epstein files to blackmail the president of the United States into declaring a war against Iran. Is that correct?” Koppel gave very little pushback: KOPPEL: There are many rumors, and there are many charges, and I rather doubt that you and Iran have seen any evidence of that. IRAN PROPAGANDIST [Via translator]: I think we should have some realistic perspective. You should not expect that the immoral documents of President Trump to be on internet. Koppel responded, “In other words, don't be so naive. The effective propaganda doesn't require that a charge be true. Sometimes the mere suggestion that it might be is enough. “ He then gave final praise to the “creative” A.I. videos: Iran can and literally does reach around much of the world into every pocket with a phone. It's powerful, it's creative, and it's reaching an engaged audience. Koppel’s mesmerization with Iranian A.I. propaganda music videos raised questions about his own media literacy, but he also seemed to give some credence to the claim of an Epstein connection to the Iran War, something that can only be described as a wild conspiracy. CBS had clearly not changed amid liberal claims of a newfound right-wing bias. The transcript is below. Click "expand": CBS News Sunday Morning May 24, 2026  9:45:50 AM Eastern (...) TED KOPPEL: Some of the most popular videos come from an outfit that calls itself “Explosive Media.” They have put Iran's message into Lego format.  I spoke with their representative in Tehran through a translator.  [To Guest] May I have a name that I can call you? TRANSLATOR: He is Mr. Explosive. KOPPEL: Why Lego, I wondered. MR. EXPLOSIVE (Via Translator): First of all, Lego is a universal language. Every people around the world can understand it without saying anything. (Iran Lego Propaganda Video Audio) KOPPEL: I get it. I speak no farsi. The translator speaks limited English. Which raises this interesting question. Who is doing that silky rap on all those videos. 9:46:47 AM Eastern (...) JAMES RUBIN (FORMER ASSISTANT SEC. OF STATE FOR PUBLIC AFFAIRS): I was involved in an information warfare unit that was designed to combat Russian, Chinese, and, to some extent, Iranian disinformation. That unit was wiped out. KOPPEL: Jamie Rubin ran the State Department's global engagement center. Congress eliminated its funding in 2024. Before then, he was Chief Spokesman and Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs during the Clinton Administration. RUBIN: This is a painful subject because we haven't followed the rules, the basic requirements to build support for a military action. It has to start with a good cause, an urgent cause, a cause that people agree with. It has to include allies, and then it has to have a trusted messenger. It pains me to say this, but right now we don't have any of those qualities in this war with Iran. KOPPEL: Rubin says the Trump Administration has discurrented many of the assets that used to support the U.S. Government at war. RUBIN: The entire description of our policy is now controlled by the White House. If you have to go back to the White House to get approval for every sentence, every rebuttal, every response, you have lost the game. You have lost the war, the information war. KOPPEL: Reporter: Early on in the war, back in March - (Audio playing from White House Meme Posts) The White House did release a couple of videos mixing actual footage of the war with scenes from Spongebob - The NFL, College Football - And Hollywood. Lots of Explosions. The videos captured hundreds of millions of views, but stopped after the White House was accused of gamifying the war. (White House Video Post Audio Ends) What's come since has been any number of presidential contributions on Truth Social. PRESIDENT TRUMP (Video From Truth Social Post): Bada, ba bop ba. Okay, we have it in your sight. Fire, boom. KOPPEL: We asked the White House to provide someone to lay out the administration's case. Was there a direct response to Iran's propaganda?  They offered the following statement, which we're reading in full: Why is CBS News doing propaganda for a terrorist regime? Under President Trump's leadership, the United States decimated the Iranian regime's military capabilities in 38 short days and is now strangling what's left of their dismal economy with one of the most successful naval blockades in history. Iran should be less concerned with winning the meme war and more concerned with making a deal to save their country.  KOPPEL: Propaganda is a weapon of war. (Iran A.I. Meme/Propaganda Videos Play) These days, Iran has zeroed in on the Epstein Files and the charge that Israel somehow used those files to draw America into the war.  [To Propagandist via video] You're saying that Israel used information from the Epstein files to blackmail the president of the United States into declaring a war against Iran. Is that correct? IRAN PROPAGANDIST [Via translator]: Yes, this is correct. KOPPEL: There are many rumors, and there are many charges, and I rather doubt that you and Iran have seen any evidence of that. IRAN PROPAGANDIST[Via translator]: I think we should have some realistic perspective. You should not expect that the immoral documents of President Trump to be on internet. KOPPEL: In other words, don't be so naive. The effective propaganda doesn't require that a charge be true. Sometimes the mere suggestion that it might be is enough.  Iran can and literally does reach around much of the world into every pocket with a phone. It's powerful, it's creative, and it's reaching an engaged audience. American propaganda does not enjoy the same advantage in Iran where the internet has been largely blocked. That's a problem. It's a handicap. But it may be more useful to address it than ignore it. (...)

“What the judge did was double harm," former Suffolk County District Attorney Rachael Rollins said, commenting on the arrest of a man who wouldn’t have been free to go on a second shooting spree if a judge hadn’t ignored her sentencing request in 2020. The second shooting spree took place on May 11 of this year, as CBS News Boston details, noting that a private citizen helped a state trooper end the threat: “The shooting on Memorial Drive in Cambridge, Massachusetts Monday left two men in critical condition Tuesday as police tried to piece together what happened. “Investigators said 46-year-old Tyler Brown of Boston walked down the street with a rifle and randomly shot 50-to-60 rounds at people and cars. He was later shot by a state trooper and a Marine veteran.” In 2021, since-retired Suffolk Superior Court Judge Janet Sanders ignored requests by Rollins and police for Brown to be given a 10-12 year sentence after he was convicted for attempting to kill Boston police officers by firing 17 rounds at them during a shootout – while he was out on parole from his 2014 sentence for a knife attack and just days after he had been released from a psychiatric hospital. Brown, who also had a cocaine conviction in 2008, pleaded guilty to eight charges, including armed assault with intent to murder and attempted assault and battery by means of discharging a firearm. Instead of heeding the request of police and prosecutors, Judge Sanders sentenced Brown to only five years in prison, saying she was doing so based on her “intuitions”: “Mr. Brown, I do understand that I am taking a risk here – and just pray that my intuitions are right.” The judge’s intuitions were not right, however, since Brown was arrested for his second shooting earlier this month when he otherwise would have been only about halfway through serving his prison sentence. “The police officers he tried to kill in 2020 and their families deserved an apology for the lenient sentence. The judiciary was not going to give it to them, so I did,” Rollins told The Boston Herald in a statement commenting on Brown’s latest arrest: “Our recommended sentence of 10 to 12 years with 5 years probation was completely appropriate. Had it been followed, Brown would have been in a DOC (Department of Corrections) facility, not attempting to kill innocent civilians and members of law enforcement in Cambridge.” “Brown was on probation for a violent offense he committed in 2014 when he attempted to kill and harm Boston police officers in 2020,” Rollins said. “He clearly had not learned his lesson. And, he had escalated from a violent crime using a knife in 2014, to a violent crime using a .40 Glock semi-automatic firearm in 2020, where he fired 13 rounds at the police. “This outrageous act of violence was entirely preventable and the result of a Parole Board and governor who treat criminals like victims and victims like afterthoughts,” Republican gubernatorial candidate and Marine Corps veteran Brian Shortsleeve said in a statement. “When I’m Governor, every member of the Parole Board will be fired,” he added. Democrat Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey “has no right playing politics with our lives on the line,” Shortsleeve said.

While ABC’s The View was over the moon for the New York Knickerbockers sweeping the Cleveland Cavaliers, a member of a different New York team was the focus of their hatred. During Tuesday’s episode, The View suggested Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart should wear “extra padding” when he plays or practices because other players were doing to try to injure him. His offense that warranted their wants for harm? He supported President Trump and introduced him at an event; for which they claimed Dart was a “racist” and attacked the black community. Well, surely Dart said something truly offensive to get that kind of reaction from the Cackling Coven. Well, according to the soundbite The View shared, all he said was this: “What an honor, want a privilege it is to be here. And without further ado, I’m grateful, I'm honored, I’m pleasured to introduce the 45th and 47th president of the United States of America, President Donald J. Trump.” Moderator Whoopi Goldberg seemed confused about why they were even talking about it. “But some people were not happy with Dart's open political endorsement?” she questioned what reading the teleprompter. “I mean, isn't he entitled to his thing [opinion]?” Behar immediately jumped in to suggest that Dart’s support for Trump showed that he met “the definition of stupidity and racist”: BEHAR: For somebody to back a guy like Trump whose discrimination and racism goes back to housing discrimination - SUNNY HOSTIN: In the 70s. BEHAR: In the '70s, DEI attacks, and posting pictures of the Obamas as apes. When he's on a team that is 55 percent - 60 percent the NFL is that many people -- that much percentage of black people - blacka, that that is just the definition of stupidity and racist, in my opinion.   Defamation suit incoming? Joy Behar says Giants QB Jaxson Dart meets "the definition of stupidity and racist" for endorsing President Trump. She adds that "maybe he needs extra padding" because his teammates are going to try to injure him. pic.twitter.com/DvE3Bwv3nh — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) May 26, 2026   Pretend independent Sara Haines argued that Dart should have kept his opinion to himself as if it was majorly problematic, citing “that foxhole mentality of we're out there, we’re paying together.” She wanted “consequences” because he’s “the quarterback, which is a central player on that field.” Haines would go on to suggest that Dart’s support for Trump meant that he was for calling black people “apes” and “complete[ly] disenfranchise” black voters. “To have thought about how that might feel to your team, the ones that are on the field with you,” she scolded him. Behar chimed in again to ominously warn Dart that “Maybe he needs a little extra padding.”   The View wants "consequences" for Dart being a fan of Trump. Behar wants someone to physically injure him, says "maybe he needs a little extra padding." pic.twitter.com/5IfKbPB5xd — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) May 26, 2026   An obvious threat that either his teammates were going to intentionally injure him in practice or players from another team were going to target him, all as punishment for the crime of wrongthink. Two weeks ago, The View demanded celebrities push their political opinions down their fans’ throats. Of course, they were demanding that celebrities bash Trump. “He just alienated a lot of Democrats with this choice. I think the easiest thing is like weigh the consequences if you’re going to do it and don't complain on the other side if people aren’t happy,” faux conservative Alyssa Farah Griffin chided, falsely claiming Dart complained about the reaction. Building off of what Farah Griffin said, Haines assumed that Dart’s offensive linemen were all Democrats and hinted that they were going to let opponents through to hurt him. “Well, and you need your linemen to protect you,” she warned Dart.   Chronically aggrieved Sunny Hostin claims Dart's endorsement of Trump was somehow a "personal" attack against her as a black person and an attack on the black community. Sara Haines suggests Dart's O-line will let him get hit as punishment. Whoopi suggests Dart is too young and… pic.twitter.com/9BD530yPSE — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) May 26, 2026   Taking one of the most asinine positions, chronically aggrieved co-host Sunny Hostin claimed Dart’s support for Trump was a direct attack on “the black community” and “personal” attack against her: I think, when you know the history of this President and know the biases of this President, for a certain community, the black community, for me, this feels personal. I think if you are someone who attacks the community to which I belong, and you support that, that tells me two things, either, one, you a agree with his politics and you agree with his biases or you can be adjacent to it, stomach in it - stomach it and that means you are complicit, in my view. Goldberg jumped in near the end of the segment to suggest Dart was too young and dumb to know any better and suggests schools teach kids which political side to endorse. “All kinds of folks but we have to remember that his right to learn about consequences, because I think he's very young and maybe doesn't realize that are consequences to these things,” she chided.   Whoopi says Dart is too young and dumb to know any better and suggests schools teach kids which political side to endorse. pic.twitter.com/lEsCkVzqOi — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) May 26, 2026   She also floated the idea that young adults should be taught which political side was okay to endorse. "And maybe that's what, you know, maybe it's not just how to take care of your money they should be teaching folks coming out of school but what consequences are and what these kinds of things mean," she said. This proved, once again, The View wasn’t just a name. It was how the show operated; no opposing political views were tolerated. You will have the same opinion or they’ll support you getting hurt for it. The transcript is below.

(…) 11:17:38 a.m. Eastern WHOOPI GOLDBERG: I don't know what all that was. [Reading teleprompter] But some people were not happy with Dart's open political endorsement? Isn't he entitled to his -- ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: It's America. GOLDBERG: I mean, isn't he entitled to his thing? JOY BEHAR: For somebody to back a guy like Trump whose discrimination and racism goes back to housing discrimination - SUNNY HOSTIN: In the 70s.

When he's on a team that is 55 percent - 60 percent the NFL is that many people -- that much percentage of black people - blacka that that is just the definition of stupidity and racist, in my opinion. SARA HAINES: The people on the field having been on teams you know the whole point is ‘we're in this together,’ and it's kind of got that foxhole mentality of we're out there, we’re paying together. To not - even if that is what you believe - I let anyone - that's the beauty of America, it's the most liberal belief, that we can have our own belief. I get that, but there would be consequences, you're the quarterback, which is a central player on that field. HOSTIN: The leader. HAINES: A leader and the majority -- it's actually 75 percent of the New York Giants and NFL as a whole are black or nonwhite. GOLDBERG: Yeah. HAINES: To not think about the most recent offenses from the ape video to these voting right things which even people who aren't that dialed in are recognizing, ‘wait are you now just going to marginalize and complete disenfranchise.’ To have thought about how that might feel to your team, the ones that are on the field with you. I would have handled it differently. BEHAR: Maybe he needs a little extra padding. (…) 11:20:01 a.m. Eastern FARAH GRIFFIN: He just alienated a lot of Democrats with this choice. I think the easiest thing is like weigh the consequences if you’re going to do it and don't complain on the other side if people aren’t happy. HAINES: Well, and you need your linemen to protect you. HOSTIN: Yeah, you sure do need your offensive line to protect you. But the thing is this was a choice and it was a political one, and, you know, these -- We're just not in normal times anymore, and so we know that when there have been abnormal times like during the Civil Rights Movement, you had athletes speak up. You had someone like Muhammad Ali who took a stand against the Vietnam War. And then you had Juan Carlos who took a stand against what has happening here in the U.S. I think, when you know the history of this President and know the biases of this President, for a certain community, the black community, for me, this feels personal. I think if you are someone who attacks the community to which I belong, and you support that, that tells me two things, either, one, you a agree with his politics and you agree with his biases or you can be adjacent to it, stomach in it - stomach it and that means you are complicit, in my view. GOLDBERG: Yeah! There's a whole Congress! There's a whole Congress! All kinds of folks but we have to remember that his right to learn about consequences, because I think he's very young and maybe doesn't realize that are consequences to these things. You know, he's entitled but this book [holds up a pocket Constitution] says if it's good enough for me, it's good enough for you. Okay? If I got free speech, you got free speech. I don't have to like your speech. I don't have to like anything you say. HOSTIN: And fans, like Alyssa says, fans, supporters, they can respond in kind. GOLDBERG: That’s right. And maybe that's what, you know, maybe it's not just how to take care of your money they should be teaching folks coming out of school but what consequences are and what these kinds of things mean. So, you know, we all live and learn. Don't we, though? We live and learn. We'll be right back.

In what took only a few seconds and thus proving how easy it should be to do their supposed jobs as journalists, Tuesday’s CBS Mornings became the first flagship morning or evening broadcast network newscast — meaning ABC, CBS, and NBC — to mention Texas Democrat senatorial candidate James Talarico’s radical views on gender and religion in a larger piece about Tuesday’s Texas Republican primary runoff between Senator John Cornyn and Attorney General Ken Paxton. White House and election correspondent Ed O’Keefe’s story focused on the influence of President Trump’s decision to endorse Paxton “has Republicans concerned” and “may need to spend tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars defending a reliably red Senate seat.” In reality, a more accurate description would be base voters and influencers are energized by the endorsement. But the back end provided an unspoken reality check to his fellow liberals about their chances in the Lone Star State. After a soundbite of Talarico saying in March that Democrats are “about to take back Texas,” O’Keefe said “Democrats are rallying around James Talarico, a state representative in seminarian who they believe is their best shot in decades.” This clip from Tuesday’s ‘CBS Mornings’ with @EdOKeefe covering the #TXSen runoff is the first time anyone has aired on a lead broadcast network morning or evening show (ABC, CBS, NBC) clips of Texas Democrat James Talarico saying there are “six” genders and “God is non-binary” pic.twitter.com/l0DAuIAjRQ — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) May 26, 2026 O’Keefe said “Talarico has gained grassroots support and has focused on fighting billionaires, [and] power,” but a win isn’t a done deal because “Republicans point to past statements like this.” Sure enough, O’Keefe aired back-to-back two of Talarico’s greatest hits. The first was this from April 20, 2021 about there being six genders: “Modern science obviously recognizes that there are many more than two biological sexes. In fact, there are six.” O’Keefe and none of the co-hosts — Gayle King, Nate Burleson, and Vladimir Duthiers — weighed in on that. Over on CNN, no one seemed willing to do that Monday for our friend Scott Jennings. Talarico uttered the other on October 15, 2021: “God is non-binary.” See, liberal journalists? That wasn’t too hard, was it? In fact, CBS Mornings had a gushy Talarico interview back on March 9 and O’Keefe boasted of his electoral prospects back on March 4. In both cases, they ignored these radical views. Surely, voters in the state that Pew has placed in the top 15 for “belief in God,” “frequency of prayer,” “importance of religion,” and “religious attendance” will take kindly once ads between May and November play those clips on repeate. O’Keefe had one more statement implying Democrats should pump the brakes: “Polls showed that, in a general election, Democrat Talarico was running ahead of or even with either Republican opponent, a good spot to be in right now, but it’s only May. And Democrats have seen their hopes dashed in this state several times before.” To see the relevant CBS transcript from May 26, click here.

Apparently, CNN has one-upped the experts on energy markets. They're claiming, based on current price fluctuations, that we won’t see oil dip below $70 a barrel until — get this — 2032. CNN Business Senior Reporter David Goldman — who’s become notorious for publishing some of the dumbest economic hot takes on the CNN website — joined the May 26 edition of CNN’s The Situation Room to put a face to the wild-eyed, logically derelict anti-Trump screeds he gets paid to write. “There’s a huge amount of time that it’s going to take according to the futures market before we get back down to that sub-$70 oil level — look at this — 2032,” Goldman bloviated with certainty to anchor Pamela Brown, like he just struck black gold on the research front. He sneered further: “So, you want $3 gas again? You’re going to have to wait maybe six years,” which also conveniently means two presidential cycles. How does he know this? Eh, market vibes! Yes, vibes are what's driving Goldman’s doom porn.   Holy BP Oil Spill! This is like promising we won’t see 70-degree weather again for the next six years. Oil markets don’t work that way — and unless CNN has completely lost the economic plot, their TV flunkies know this too. Even Brown responded with a flabbergasted “What?!” in disbelief at Goldman’s argument: “I’m sorry, did I hear you correctly? Did you say 2032?” Goldman chuckled nervously then walked back his claim into a hedge by pointing to a Brent Oil Futures chart and throwing the assertion off of himself, “This tells you what the oil market is predicting prices will be in the future … That’s the prediction. We’ll see if that ends up being the case.”  How convenient. CNN claims gas prices are not going to drop until 2032 (or two presidential election cycles). pic.twitter.com/DIMZAHKQNm — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) May 26, 2026 As anybody with two brain cells and a cursory understanding of energy markets knows, there’s absolutely zero way to reliably project oil prices years out. That’s because the sector is extremely volatile and is subject to change drastically from day-to-day based on a multiplicity of factors. For example, when there was scuttlebutt about a potential peace deal between the U.S. and Iran regarding the ongoing war on May 24, The New York Times reported that Brent crude cratered 6.5 percent with West Texas Intermediate  (U.S. crude) falling the at the same rate, with both benchmarks sinking below $100 a barrel in just a single day of trading. Does that sound like a reliable foundation for long-term crystal ball prophecies, Goldman?  But of course, Goldman used his brittle logic to then cast a dark cloud over multiple markets to make the case that sticky energy prices (if that’s even a thing) will continue to drive inflation. It’s worth pointing out that this is the same schlub that tried to gaslight voters before the 2024 election, “America won the war on inflation. You still think the economy stinks.” What was different then? Oh, the guy sitting in the Oval Office of course! But as Tressis Chief Economist Daniel Lacalle noted in a recent explainer video on X that energy “works as a disinflationary factor in the next months as the Strait of Hormuz challenges become less relevant and a peace deal is achieved.” Oil price volatility, per Lacalle, doesn’t “cause inflation.” In fact, Lacalle asserted that inflation is “not caused by oil, by supply chain disruptions or by tariffs. Why? Because supply chain disruptions and oil — if they were the cause of inflation, we would have had — in 2023, 2024 and 2025 — deflation, not slow levels of annual disinflation.” By disinflation, Lacalle explained that the term means “prices continue to go up but they go up at a slower pace.” The “only thing” that could cause aggregate prices to continue climbing on a consistent basis within this dynamic, argued Lacalle, is persistent levels of out-of-control government spending, more deficit spending, more money-printing and “with it more units of currency going to the same goods and services.”  What to expect on inflation pic.twitter.com/ldQqX4GMJF — Daniel Lacalle (@dlacalle_IA) May 26, 2026 So what are we to make of Goldman’s fortune cookie? Well, nothing really. Worthy of note is that Goldman used to be the "executive editor" of CNN Business (even earlier this month) before being apparently demoted to "senior reporter" of the department. Could it be because CNN didn't want its whole one-sided business coverage repeatedly getting skewered straight to hell with Goldman's fatuous arguments at the top?
