The Elitist Media Evening News are continuing to do their level best to ignore the explosive details of both the Fauci Files and the Biden Tapes. None of the evening newscasts on ABC, CBS, NBC or PBS devoted any coverage to these two crucial and grossly undercovered stories.The consensus national story on tonight’s evening news appears to be…the squirrel that disrupted play at Detroit’s Comerica Park between the hometown Tigers and the Baltimore Orioles. Here is that report as aired on ABC World News Tonight on Tuesday, July 28th, 2026: WATCH: @ABCWorldNews had no time for the Fauci Diaries or Biden tapes tonight, but DID close the newscast out with the squirrel that disrupted play at Comerica Park pic.twitter.com/XfQ2RzQNNm— Jorge Bonilla (@BonillaJL) July 28, 2026 WHIT JOHNSON: Finally, tonight, baseball fans cheering for Major League's newest star, the squirrel in the outfield. Bottom of the sixth inning in Detroit. Tigers versus Orioles when suddenly a surprise visitor.JASON BENETTI: Well.ANDY DIRKS: Uh oh.BENETTI: A squirrel. JOHNSON: A squirrel scampering through the outfield. BENETTI: Squirrel! Look out! JOHNSON: The announcers delivering the play-by-play.BENETTI: Down the stretch he comes. The squirrel getting to the finish line…JOHNSON: The grounds crew striking out.BENETTI: The squirrel is on the move. The door is open. The standoff is on. I'm not leaving. I'm staying for the stunning conclusion of this game.JOHNSON: And then a bird joining the chaos.BENETTI: Oh boy. Now we just have Wild Kingdom. This game’s been a zoo.JOHNSON: Next inning, the squirrel getting close to the players, watching the batter running past the pitcher's mound. Finally, during the seventh inning stretch, more than a dozen groundskeepers in hot pursuit.BENETTI: The chase for the squirrel is on and the squirrel is in the corner, and the squirrel is still eluding an entire horde of grounds crew members and the squirrel’s free once again. Hemmed in? No, I won't be hemmed in!JOHNSON: The squirrel evading them all.BENETTI: Trying to go between the legs. And eventually… he gets away again! And hops through the towel! And hops through another towel!JOHNSON: Fans joking online, “the squirrel has signed a ten year deal with the Lions…no one can catch him!” And, “stop showing the squirrel…my dog is going nuts!” Eventually, the crew using a towel to catch the critter. The Tigers’ team mascot holding up a sign: “Free the squirrel!” Later, to the relief of many, the team reporting the squirrel was released in fine health.ABC closed out the newscast with this story, as did the CBS Evening News, which appears to be one-and-done with Biden-Fauci. NBC ran the squirrel in the next-to-last block of the Nightly News, closing out with Tom Llamas’ tour of the grounds at the Papal Palace of Castel Gandolfo, in service of his upcoming interview with Pope Leo XIV and the Concert for Peace airing on NBC. PBS did neither the squirrel nor Biden-Fauci.The Comerica squirrel wasn’t the only filler story stuffing the channels on the broadcast network evening news. ABC showered viewers with items such as the San Diego man arrested after joyriding on a stolen backhoe, and the tale of coyotes taking over an abandoned West Hollywood construction site. In an inadvertent snapshot of California decline, we are told that there is a municipal “management and coexistence plan” that has been in place for several years. WATCH: @ABCWorldNews has still found no time to cover the Fauci Diaries or Biden Tapes, but did make time for the coyote invasion of an abandoned WeHo construction site pic.twitter.com/r8V838lfdN— Jorge Bonilla (@BonillaJL) July 28, 2026 CBS featured a nonlethal aviation mishap (small aircraft making a California beach landing) and a nonlethal traffic mishap (the fabricated home falling on top of a car as the result of a traffic accident in Georgia). NBC ran the squirrel and the prefab house crash but ran two unique Pope-related items as their filler. The only political story that ran across the board was the funeral for Senator Lindsey Graham, with its attendees and focus on President Trump’s eulogy. Nothing on the impending confirmation of Jay Clayton as Director of National Intelligence (vis-a-vis ample coverage of his contentious confirmation hearing), and definitely nothing on the Biden Tapes or Fauci Files. The Elitist Media want you to see what they want you to see- and nothing more. And when the news cycle is inconvenient, they reliably shout “SQUIRREL!”Exit question: How will they cover, if at all, Anthony Fauci's hearing before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs? We'll be watching.

Morning Joe 7-28-26 Joe Scarborough donned his Democrat-strategist sombrero on Tuesday's Morning Joe and pleaded with his party of choice to reject DSA lunacy now, or suffer the consequences in the fall.Scarborough opened by cueing up Shannon Bream’s exchange on Fox News Sunday with DSA national co-chair Megan Romer in which she enthusiastically embraced these items in the DSA platform:  Abolishing the Senate.Replacing the presidency and the Supreme Court.Abolishing ICE.Abolishing borders and giving amnesty to anyone currently in the US illegally.Defunding the Pentagon.Abolishing prisons, at least in large part.Government or public ownership of most large corporations.Although items like abolishing borders and defunding the Pentagon might stand out, let's focus on the plan for the government to seize most large corporations. That's not democratic socialism. Government ownership of the means of production is the essence of Marxism. So don't tell us the democratic socialists don't have a communist tint -- it's right there in their platform.Scarborough then reached for a very tired liberal trope — Maya Angelou's line about believing people when they show you who they are. He summarized the Fox quiz: "All questions answered with complete conviction, and all those responses completely disqualifying for a party that likes to tell people they're really just about health care and tax reform."  Joe Scarborough dons his strategist sombrero and pleads with Democrats: reject DSA lunacy now, or be punished with it in November! pic.twitter.com/eEuSRxpsjO— Mark Finkelstein (@markfinkelstein) July 28, 2026 Scarborough praised progressives for bringing all the energy to the party, but insisted Democrats can still put the issue behind them — but only if they act now:If you're for what she said, and she's the head of your party, so you can't dismiss it. Are you for what the head of your party said? This is a very simple question, and the reason I'm talking about it today is because Democrats can put it behind them today, or we can still be talking about this in early November. ... Don't brush this off. Take care of it in July, get rid of the issue in July, or you're still going to be dealing with it through late October and early November. Don't be a Democrat, don't do that. Take care of it now. Don't make the same mistakes you made in 2024. Nip this one in the bud.For a host who spent yesterday screaming for DNC Chair Ken Martin's head over the party's empty bank account, today's performance was pure strategist mode: identify the vulnerability, demand the party confront it before Republicans turn it into a cudgel, and hope the base listens.Will the Democrats heed Scarborough's warning? Or, come fall, will we be relaxing in our Barcaloungers, munching the proverbial popcorn, as we watch Dem candidates and leaders squirm in explaining away the communists in their midst?Here's the transcript.MS NOWMorning Joe7/28/266:04 am EDTJOE SCARBOROUGH: We got a ton to talk, talk to him about, but I just got to start with something that was, all over, social media and the news yesterday. And before we got all the big events in Washington, across the world, I wanted to show everybody a notable clip from one of the Sunday shows. A national co-chair for the Democratic Socialists of America, the DSA, was on Fox News Sunday, and here was one of her exchanges with host Shannon Bream.SHANNON BREAM: Okay, so we're gonna put up on the screen a few of the things that are part of your platform, and I wanna ask you, just give me sort of a true or false on these. Abolish the Senate.MEGAN ROMER: True.BREAM: Okay. Replace the presidency and Supreme Court as we now know them.ROMER: Yep.BREAM: Abolish ICE.ROMER: Absolutely.BREAM: Abolish borders and give amnesty to anyone currently in the US ROMER: As a long term plan, yep.BREAM: Defund the PentagonROMER: Absolutely.BREAM: Abolish prisons, at least in large part.ROMER: Yeah, again, that as part of a long term program, yeah.BREAM: Okay, so no prisons. Government or public ownership of most large corporations.ROMER: Yeah, absolutely.SCARBOROUGH: Democrats, Democrats, Democrats. MIKA BRZEZINSKI: Oh my God.JOE SCARBOROUGH: Let those with ears hear. Maya Angelou said, "When somebody shows you who they are, believe 'em the first time." People know themselves much better than you do, and well, what's true of people is also true of political parties. And as you just saw, the national co-chair of the DSA went on television and showed us exactly who she is and what her party believes. Abolish the US Senate, the presidency as we know it, the Supreme Court as we know it? True. Abolish ICE? Absolutely. Open the borders? Defund the Pentagon? Empty the prisons? Have the government seize private companies? Absolutely, absolutely, yeah, absolutely! All questions answered with complete conviction, and all those responses completely disqualifying for a party that likes to tell people they're really just about health care and tax reform.. . . JONATHAN LEMIRE: And then Mika, the other part of this, of course, is that even if there actually aren't many Democrats who believe this, it's a gift to Republicans. Talking like that allows Republicans to label the entire party, the GOP, like, on their heels right now, and this is a, a life preserver, they can hang onto. And then turn it into a cudgel.MIKA: Exactly. Exactly. They'll use it.SCARBOROUGH: But, but, but here, here's the thing though, again, For those candidates out there that identified themselves as DSA, this is the head of their party. Right? So this isn't just about Democratic energy. Yes, I, I think Democratic energy is great. I've always said, it's the progressives not the centrists, it's the progressives who knock on doors, it's the progressives who do phone banks, it's the progressives that get out and march, it's the progressives that provide the energy to the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party's big enough to have progressives, to have moderates, to have members of the DSA party. But those members of the DSA party have to tell us, are you for affordable health care, are you for this, are you for what she said? 'Cause if you're for what she said, and she's the head of your party, so you can't dismiss it. Are you for what the head of your party said? This is a very simple question, and the reason I'm talking about it today is because Democrats can put it behind them today, or we can still be talking about this in early November. Did you hear what I just said? Don't brush this off. Take care of it in July, get rid of the issue in July, or you're still going to be dealing with it through late October and early November. Don't be a Democrat, don't do that. Take care of it now. Don't make the same mistakes you made in 2024. Nip this one in the bud.

The Democratic Socialists of America don’t like being called Communists, though many members might echo the sentiment of leftist influencer Hasan Piker when he says, “I don’t have an issue with an end goal of communism.”Yet however the group self-identifies, its agenda is openly revolutionary.Its plans call for, among other things, abolishing the United States Senate and making the executive branch and the Supreme Court subservient to the House of Representatives.Like many a revolutionary organ, the DSA acts as a party within a party, and it increasingly represents the youth wing of the Democrats.Elected officials aligned with the group, like Zohran Mamdani and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, look to be the future of the party.Yet DSA’s ideas are remarkably old-fashioned — so old, in fact, they were refuted by John Adams in 1787.That was the year he began publishing a multivolume work called “A Defence of the Constitutions of the United States of America.”It was so long ago Americans still spelled “defence” with a “c.”The book refers to “constitutions,” plural, because Adams hadn’t seen the new U.S. Constitution drawn up in Philadelphia that year.He was actually defending the state constitutions against French intellectuals who insisted they should be more radical.That was just two years before the outbreak of the French Revolution, with all the murder and mayhem it would bring.The old French versions of today’s DSA schemers condemned bicameral legislatures for the same reason Mamdani’s and AOC’s fans do now: their idea of “democracy” called for centralizing power in a single body.No checks, no balances, and certainly no federalism — the whole nation was to be personified in an omnipotent unitary legislature.Adams, who had been one of the first American revolutionary leaders to call for independence from Britain, was no enemy of popular self-government.But pure democracy would be as bad as any other kind of centralized despotism — so he defended the “mixed” constitutions of the states, almost all of which had separate upper and lower legislative chambers and divided legislative, executive and judicial power.The federal Constitution was drawn up on the same principles — and combined them with a division of powers between the states and national government. A glance at how the Constitution has performed for the last 239 years, compared to the chaos and bloodshed that engulfed revolutionary France once the proto-DSA types started getting their way there, shows who was right.But DSA, not content with dreaming of an end to capitalism, wants to end constitutionalism as well.Revolutionary parties, like Russia’s Bolsheviks, have often had such farfetched goals — the point isn’t to achieve them so much as it is to wreck whatever already exists.DSA’s first step is to radicalize the Democratic Party, making previously outrageous ideas like packing the Supreme Court seem mild by comparison to the Democratic Socialist program.Abolishing the Senate may be politically impossible, but de-legitimizing it is a way to de-legitimize obstacles to centralized power — not just the Senate itself, with its equal representation for all states, large or small, but the very principle of federalism.Why should North Dakota have a government of its own?What gives the people of Idaho a right to govern their own territory?California has the largest absolute number of Republicans in the country, but because they live in what operates as a massive one-party state, they not only lack adequate representation, but what representation they have can be snatched away by the Democratic majority — as is happening now thanks to the congressional gerrymandering championed by Gov. Gavin Newsom.DSA wants to make the whole country like California, only worse. That’s their idea of democracy — the socialist version. It’s the revolutionary French version as well, and it’s as un-American as anything can be. Yet it’s a magnet pulling the Democratic Party hard to the left.Notoriously, DSA has a disproportionate number of members who are highly educated but low-paid or unemployed.Like the Marxists of the last century or the French philosophes of the century before that, they’re sophisticated enough to seem like they know what they’re talking about, if you haven’t learned how disastrous their ideas have proved to be in practice.But American education doesn’t teach much about the horrors of Communism or France’s Reign of Terror.Radicals occupied the educational establishment early on, and now they’re reaping political rewards for the ignorance they’ve fostered in the public.According to recent Cato Institute polling, Generation Z — Americans between ages 14 and 29 — favors socialism over capitalism by 53% to 45%, though the “Democratic Socialist” label polls less well.Despite having “democratic” in their name, however, DSA doesn’t need majority support to bring about revolutionary change for the worse: a motivated minority is enough when the majority is unaware of its danger.Daniel McCarthy is the editor of Modern Age: A Conservative Review.

MS NOW/SnapStream Amid the notoriety and rise of Democratic Socialist candidates in primaries ahead of the midterm elections and growing Democrat establishment panic, Tuesday’s Money, Power, Politics with MS NOW host Stephanie Ruhle tried to join the discussion with a minimization of Republican communism. The segment was accompanied by a chyron that read “GOP Ramps Up ‘Communism’ Attacks Ahead of Midterms.”Ruhle started and highlighted a post from Republican Speaker Mike Johnson that proclaimed, “a battle between common sense and communism.”She then decided to give a history lesson, with an accusation of authoritarianism: “And I would point out that we've made a lot of moves that you could liken to an authoritarian regime, and that is how you end up with communism. But alas, history and the truth don't matter.” On Tuesday, MS NOW host Stephanie Ruhle tried to minimize Republican claims about the rise of communism with the DSAShe read a post from Speaker Johnson on communism, but blamed the alleged rise on Trump and “moves that you could liken to an authoritarian regime.” pic.twitter.com/KB4fBaqZ9v— Nick (@nspin310) July 28, 2026 Ruhle asked, “What do you make of this argument Republicans are making?” as she stated the communism claims were “one thing that their diehard supporters are hanging on to.”Former Obama campaign manager Jim Messina responded to Ruhle’s authoritarian claims with praise and agreement, “Well, this is why you're the best in journalism, because, as you pointed out, they're actually doing the authoritarian stuff, but they don't have anything to talk about. “Messina did have some pushback for some of the radical DSA policies, as showcased by a DSA figure’s recent appearance on FOX News Sunday. He said some DSA policies were “way out of touch”: “And, you know, some of this stuff, let's be very clear, Stephanie, is way out of touch. We shouldn't abolish the United States Senate. We shouldn't rewrite the Constitution. “But Messina also said voters “don’t care about that stuff” and instead wanted to know who's going to make their prices go lower. He warned, “Democrats can't get pulled into a fight on communism and have to stay where they are right now, which is cost of living.” Ruhle continued, "Republicans are going to hang on to this idea of abolishing the police and open borders, and so on and so forth,” and said Dems cannot denounce the DSA because their candidates and "a lot of these ideas” on issues like affordability “do appeal to people." pic.twitter.com/pbwQQrqdX1— Nick (@nspin310) July 28, 2026 Ruhle asked, “How specifically do Democrats combat it?” as she seemed to complain that “Republicans are going to hang on to this idea of abolishing the police and open borders, and so on and so forth.”Somewhat surprisingly, she defended DSA economic policies and said Democrats “certainly don't want to say ‘We're denouncing DSA,’” and continued: “DSA and a lot of those candidates and a lot of these ideas, which are about affordability and busting down a system that does not work for millions of Americans, does appeal to people.”Messina’s response turned to cost of living and said the issue “unites both sides of the Democratic Party. And that is where we win.”Ruhle now seemed to realize, despite her minimization, the new notoriety of the DSA, a group which she previously called just a “small group of people” when she mocked frequent MS NOW guest Donny Deutsch earlier this month for his fears over the group’s possible antisemitism.The transcript is below. Click "expand":MS NOW’s Money, Power, PoliticsJuly 28, 202609:44:55 AM Eastern(...)STEPHANIE RUHLE: Republicans have been attacking the Democratic Socialist movement. It's their number one target. Speaker Mike Johnson called it a battle between common sense and communism. And I would point out that we've made a lot of moves that you could liken to an authoritarian regime, and that is how you end up with communism. But alas, history and the truth don't matter. What do you make of this argument Republicans are making? Because it's one thing that their diehard supporters are hanging on to.JIM MESSINA: Well, this is why you're the best in journalism, because, as you pointed out, they're actually doing the authoritarian stuff, but they don't have anything to talk about. They can't talk about gas prices. They can't talk about utility prices. They have complete control of Washington, D.C. All three levers of power. And so, of course, they're going to move to communism. And, you know, some of this DSA stuff, let's be very clear, Stephanie, is way out of touch. We shouldn't abolish the United States Senate. We shouldn't rewrite the Constitution. However, voters don't care about that stuff. They want to know who's going to make their prices go lower. They want to know who understands that 66 percent of voters are living paycheck to paycheck. That's who they're going to vote for. And Democrats can't get pulled into a fight on communism and got to stay where they are right now, which is cost of living. This weekend, the future Speaker of the House, Hakeem Jeffries, laid out his plan of what he wants to do in the first 100 days if he takes over, and it was all costs and accountability. That's where they have to fight.RUHLE: So, how specifically do Democrats combat it, as Republicans are going to hang on to this idea of abolishing the police and open borders, and so on and so forth? How do they stay in the zone? Because they certainly don't want to say “We're denouncing DSA.” DSA and a lot of those candidates and a lot of these ideas, which are about affordability and busting down a system that does not work for millions of Americans, does appeal to people.MESSINA: I think it's very clear you stay focused on cost of living. And, you know, Mayor Mamdani ran on that. Moderates like Mikie Sherrill and Abigail Spanberger won governorships on that. That's what unites the party right now. The party is united on making things cheaper, getting the gas prices down, figuring out how to get things down in the grocery stores, and freezing utility rates. That unites both sides of the Democratic Party. And that is where we win.(...)

Confidence in television news and newspapers remains rock bottom, results of the latest survey of U.S. adult citizens by The Economist/YouGov released Tuesday show.According to the national survey conducted July 25-27, just 5%, or one in twenty, Americans have “a great deal” of confidence in newspapers – while eight times as many (40%) have “very little.”Adult Democrats are the most likely to trust what they read in newspapers. Still, only 10% have a great deal of confidence, while 18% have very little. Among both Independents and Republicans, the percent voicing “great trust” is in single digits, while about half say they have “very little” confidence.When comes to television news, the level of confidence is even lower. Only 5% say they have a great deal of trust in what they’re being told, but nearly half (47%) say they have very little confidence.Once again, Democrats are more positive than Independents and Republicans, but they’re still more skeptical than trusting, with 7% expressing great confidence and 25% very little confidence. In contrast, fully 56% of both Independents and Republicans have very little faith in television news.Adult Americans’ distrust in both newspapers and television news appears to jump once they hit 30. Among 18-29 year-olds, 24% have very little confidence in newspapers, but that jumps to between 41-45% for older groups.Regarding television news, 33% of 18-29 year-olds have very little confidence in what’s reported, compared to 53% of those 30-44, 48% of those 45-64 and 51% of those 65 and older.The dour results released Tuesday are consistent with the findings of previous surveys by The Economist/YouGov and Gallup, as neither industry has succeeded in reducing its trust deficit with the nation’s news consumers.
