About a year-and-a-half ago, transgender actor Laverne Cox claimed on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show that GOP ads were contributing to transgender suicides. On Wednesday, Cox returned to do some book promotion and to claim that all parts of the LGBT initialism are “divine.” Host-of-the-week Desi Lydic wondered, “There are a lot of young folks out there who may have experienced some of the pain that you went through as a young person. What would you tell them right now in this moment in time?”   Laverne Cox stopped by The Daily Show to ruin the definition of "divine", "You are made exactly the way you are supposed to be, and your transness, your gayness, your lesbianism, your bisexuality, these are all divine." pic.twitter.com/HMiNehaBDw — Alex Christy (@alexchristy17) June 10, 2026   The interview that aired on Comedy Central was only a brief part of a much longer interview that was posted on YouTube. In the extended interview, Cox claimed to have left Christianity because religion is a “corrupt institution.” However, Cox declared to have never stopped believing in God. Back on the portion that did air on Comedy Central, Cox answered with something resembling pantheism and transcendentalism—the title of Cox’s book is Transcendent— “I would tell them to not be afraid. You’re not alone. You—there is nothing wrong with you. You are made exactly the way you are supposed to be, and your transness, your gayness, your lesbianism, your bisexuality, these are all divine. You deserve to be here, and you are beautiful and worthy because you are a child of God.” Homosexuality and transgenderness are not divine. Neither is heterosexuality, for that matter. Only God is divine. Cox’s attempt at self-affirmation is really just self-idolization and the belief that you know more about yourself than God soon follows from that. Here is a transcript for the June 9 show: Comedy Central The Daily Show 6/9/2026 11:28 PM ET DESI LYDIC: There are a lot of young folks out there who may have experienced some of the pain that you went through as a young person. LAVERNE COX: Yeah LYDIC: What would you tell them right now in this moment in time? COX: I would tell them to not be afraid. You’re not alone. You—there is nothing wrong with you. You are made exactly the way you are supposed to be, and your transness, your gayness, your lesbianism, your bisexuality, these are all divine. You deserve to be here, and you are beautiful and worthy because you are a child of God.

MRC Watchdogs churn out breaking news on a daily basis. Don't miss Today's Highlights, where you can keep up with the top MRC content, whether it's the latest study on media bias, a glaring omission from the elitist media, or how the Big Tech companies are serving up the same leftist spin as the media.  Top Stories: David Bozell Featured in Fox News Digital Exposing 60 Minutes Scandals  MRC Exposes CBS’s 60 Minutes For Its Most Biased Reporting  MRC Catches Jane Fonda and Jon Stewart Wailing That Our Democracy Is Being Destroyed   David Bozell Featured in Fox News Digital Exposing 60 Minutes Scandals  The elite network program has established a long history of manipulating high profile interviews and editing out critical details to protect favored political figures. The ongoing pattern of selective editing serves to manufacture a false sense of security and validation for left wing candidates. The corporate press routinely sweeps internal network scandals under the rug while demanding absolute transparency from its political targets. The amazing thing isn’t that trust in the media has collapsed. The amazing thing is that the people responsible for squandering that trust still can’t figure out why.   MRC Exposes CBS’s 60 Minutes For Its Most Biased Reporting  CBS used its premier newsmagazine platform to push a heavily slanted narrative that ignored crucial facts and opposing viewpoints.  The broadcast demonstrated a clear double standard by shielding preferred political figures from tough questioning while aggressively targeting their opponents.  Important context and counterarguments were intentionally omitted from the segment to guide the audience toward a predetermined conclusion.  This reporting highlights a systemic lack of objectivity and a continuing decline in journalistic standards at the network.   MRC Catches Jane Fonda and Jon Stewart Wailing That Our Democracy Is Being Destroyed The Hollywood celebrities used their media platforms to stoke division and panic by claiming the nation is on the brink of collapse.  Both commentators relied on partisan talking points rather than objective facts to attack traditional American institutions and policies.  The rhetoric showcased an elitist disconnect from regular citizens by framing mainstream political disagreement as an existential threat to the country.  The media readily amplified these apocalyptic warnings without providing proper pushback or a balanced perspective.          

President Trump’s outbursts at the end of his Meet the Press interview, where he called Kristen Welker “crooked” and “stupid,” were treated as rude, even unglued. Somehow the offended Trump haters never seem to realize that they call Trump “crooked,” “stupid,” and worse about twice an hour on news programs. One reason for Trump’s anger is he has granted access on an almost daily basis, unlike his predecessor. How many times did Meet the Press hosts Kristen Welker or Chuck Todd interview President Biden? Never. Todd interviewed Vice President Kamala Harris in 2022, and his idea of a tough question was “What is a semi-fascist?” (Biden had used that phrase for Republicans.) Todd also asked Harris “Would you call the border secure?” and accepted her Yes. In this new interview with Trump, Welker began with a pretty standard NBC interview with Trump, respectful but strongly challenging his record. Trump called Welker “a big liberal” when she started prodding him for campaigning in 2024 on “no new wars.” Welker was right on the facts, and so was Trump: Welker’s as liberal as all the other “mainstream” media moderators on Sunday. At the end, Welker was pressuring the president on the foiled plan for an “anti-weaponization fund,” and that’s where it really went south. Welker tried to get Trump to agree that anyone assaulting a police officer on January 6 shouldn’t get compensated, but she also broke out the “no evidence” insult. Trump talked about the “dirty cops” of the Biden administration and all of their prosecutions of Trump, his appointees, and his supporters: “What they did to the lives of people, they destroyed people. They sent people to jail who did nothing wrong.” Welker felt the need to claim “just to be very clear, there’s no evidence of what you’re saying.” There’s no evidence that anyone was ever sent to jail for doing nothing wrong? Trump didn’t add specifics, but replied: “There’s tremendous evidence. There’s nothing but evidence.” Welker replied: “Well, it’s not been presented in a court of law.” Trump referred broadly not just to January 6, but the Russian collusion probes. She asserted there was “no evidence” that anyone was ever jailed or even damaged in all of the prosecutions and investigations. Biden’s Justice Department charged almost 1,600 people in association with January 6. How can Welker know what happened to all of those cases in courts of law? Has she ever tried? This is why the “no evidence” claim is infuriating. It sounds dismissively partisan. Welker has probably never engaged with the case of Rebecca Lavrenz, known as the “praying grandma” of January 6. Lavrenz entered the Capitol and walked around for ten minutes. She wasn’t violent, carried no weapons, and caused no property damage. Biden’s prosecutors wanted ten months behind bars. Why? She wasn’t put in jail, but in 2024, Judge Zia Faruqui sentenced Lavrenz to six months of home confinement and a $103,000 fine – based on her making “offensive” comments about the criminal justice system. These prosecutions and rulings suggested that Trump fans – “election deniers” -- didn’t have the freedom of speech to criticize the Biden team. That feels like weaponized justice. Partisan journalists like Welker treat every assertion of Biden weaponizing the justice system as part of “The Big Lie,” melting into the rhetorical magma with 2020 election denial and praise for January 6 rioters. They reserve the accusations of “no evidence” or “without evidence” almost exclusively for Republicans. They didn’t tell Kamala Harris there was “no evidence” the border was secure. That would apparently be rude.

The Elitist Media Network Evening News betrayed their overt biases by choosing once again to omit several key news stories from their viewers. As always, what the networks choose to air is almost as important as what they choose NOT to air.  The nation’s immigration enforcement services are finally funded, breaking an impasse that led to a lengthy government shutdown and thousands of government employees to go without pay. Per Fox News: Republicans’ sweeping immigration enforcement and border security package cleared the House on Tuesday, ending a months-long standoff with Democrats over funding President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown agenda.  The $70 billion immigration enforcement measure passed 214-212 over the fierce objections of Democrats, who unanimously voted against the package. Rep. Kevin Kiley, I-Calif., an independent who caucuses with Republicans, also joined Democrats in opposing the measure. Meanwhile, every GOP lawmaker present voted for the Senate-passed legislation, which funds Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) through fiscal year 2029. The Elitist Media feasted off of this story so long as TSA workers were going without paying their bills and partaking in food drives. Airport chaos led many a newscast, especially when people were either waiting for six hours or missing their flights altogether in places like Houston, Atlanta, and New Orleans. The networks never did blame Democrat intransigence for the defunding of ICE, instead choosing to frame it as a necessary protest of the border policies that the American people voted for. Another major story skipped by the Elitist Media Evening News: Vice President JD Vance referring Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison to the Department of Justice for investigation pertaining to their potential roles in the state’s ongoing fraud scandal. Per The New York Post: Vice President JD Vance referred Minnesota state officials, including Democratic Gov. Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison, to the Justice Department for investigation and potential prosecution following the release of a blistering House Oversight Committee report examining benefit fraud in the state. On Sunday, the Oversight panel had sent a letter to Vance, who helms the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, urging him to further probe Minnesota. “I’ve referred these allegations to DOJ’s new Fraud Division for criminal investigation,” Vance posted on X Monday evening. “Minnesota state officials are not above the law, and if they facilitated fraud, lied under oath about what they knew, or harassed and [intimidated] whistleblowers, they must face justice.” This was a story that the Elitist Media Evening News were slow to get to, as it dovetailed with immigration enforcement in Minneapolis, and with known massive fraud within its Somali community. The networks reluctantly covered the story when omission was no longer feasible.  The latest referral by Vice President Vance has drawn no coverage except for a 28-second burial on the 5AM hour of CBS Morning News: WATCH: VP Vance's referral of MN Gov, Tim Walz and AG Keith Ellison to the DoJ related to ongoing fraud scandals has drawn no coverage on the network evening news- and only this 28-second burial on the 5AM hour of CBS News Mornings: MIKE GEORGE: Vice President JD Vance has… pic.twitter.com/URdjR9EgQa — Jorge Bonilla (@BonillaJL) June 10, 2026 MIKE GEORGE: Vice President JD Vance has triggered a federal fraud probe against Minnesota Governor and former election rival Tim Walz. The move stems from a House Oversight report, which claims fraud warnings related to federal programs in Minnesota were ignored by top state officials. Walz has denied the allegations. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison is also a target of the probe. The vice president heads the administration’s anti-fraud task force. That’s it. Nothing on this or on the funding of ICE on the network evening news. ABC went instead for a Florida manslaughter trial related to a boating accident and an Air Canada pilot arrested for flying with a fake license. CBS went with Rob Reiner’s son trying to dip into his trust fund for legal expenses, and FDA approval of a sunscreen already in use in Europe and Asia. NBC went with a shark bite and a Jeep recall.  Once again, the Elitist Media shows you that the most important stories are often the ones you don’t see on the network evening news. We are reminded once again that bias by omission is the most insidious.  

It doesn’t matter what day of the week it is. The New York Times will never give President Donald Trump’s economy the time of day, even if the data is clearly pointing to a significant upswing. Following news that the economy added a whopping 172,000 jobs that completely eclipsed the consensus estimate for an 80,000 increase and saw significant upward revisions for the prior two months, Times financial markets reporter Joe Rennison published one of the newspaper’s nuttier spins, which is a feat unto itself: “Stocks Slide as Investors See Rates Rising After Strong Jobs Data.” The story was not how the data illustrated how all the talk about an impending Trump “recession” was a load of hogwash. Instead, the story became about investors predictably getting the heebie-jeebies that a much-stronger-than-expected labor market would give the Federal Reserve less reasons to cut interest rates. Rennison somehow found a way to incorporate the most upside-down interpretation of good news and pass it off as straight reporting: Stocks slumped on Friday, ending a long run of weekly gains, after stronger-than-expected jobs data raised investors’ expectations that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates elevated to keep the economy from overheating. Rennison kept beating that drum: “Higher interest rates raise borrowing costs and lower stock valuations over time, weighing on the market.” Newsflash Rennison: This is not the story!  Even anti-Trump Navy Federal Chief Economist Heather Long had to admit that the latest report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics signaled that the so-called “hiring recession is over.” University of Michigan economist [and MS NOW regular] Justin Wolfers went as far as to say during an ABC News Live segment based on the jobs numbers that “it's time to stop talking about the word recession.” He stated further: “Recessions don't happen when the labor markets motoring along like this.” It was Rennison himself who stated during an October 20, 2025, Times podcast when the stock market was bumbling along that “there is this relationship between markets and the economy, even if they don’t always send exactly the same message.” Funny how that works now that the jobs market is upending much of the economic doom porn and the impulsive traders in the stock market are making predictable moves trying to anticipate futures as a result. Perhaps the economy is sending a different message than the stock market is at this particular snapshot in time?  Jobs boom? Jobs bust? It doesn’t matter: According to The Times’s logic, Trump loses either way. Remember, this is the same publication that went as far as to make 1.1 percent GDP growth during the first quarter of 2023 under the Biden administration out to be good news.
