While they celebrate the leftist "No Kings" protests this weekend, the Left is monitoring the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Texas. Mediaite was alarmed by FCC Chairman Brendan Carr's comments about how "President Trump is taking on the fake news media, and President Trump is winning." Leftists are horrified that the supposed "independent agency" is aligning itself with the president -- as if that's never happened at the FCC. But Democrat FCC chairs are only a soothing presence for the DNC Media. FCC Chair: Trump is winning. Look at the results—PBS and NPR defunded. Joy Reid, Sleepy-Eyed Chuck Todd, Jim Acosta, John Dickerson are gone. Colbert is leaving. CBS is under new ownership, and soon enough CNN will have new ownership as well. pic.twitter.com/8kdrG5T3GP — Acyn (@Acyn) March 27, 2026 Carr explained Trump's actions: “When he ran for office, he ran directly at the fake news media. So many other politicians and Americans simply gave way to the legacy national media. They let the legacy media set the narrative, and President Trump smashed the façade. He said, ‘You don’t get to decide what we say, what we think, how we’re gonna vote inside the voting booth.’ President Trump took on the fake news media, and President Trump is winning.” The elitist media are used to setting the agenda for both parties, and Republicans have traditionally sought to roll with the punches the media were throwing. Trump hasn't allowed the press to set the agenda, especially in the second term.  Carr continued: “Look at the results so far. PBS — defunded. NPR — defunded. Joy Reid — gone from MSNBC. Sleepy-eyed Chuck Todd — gone. Jim Acosta — gone. John Dickerson — gone. Colbert is leaving. CBS is under new ownership, and soon enough, CNN is gonna have new ownership as well.” Cheers could be heard. Oracle founder Larry Ellison and his son David acquired CBS, and are now in the process of getting CNN, too.  “So, we’re not at the point yet where we’re raising the ‘mission accomplished’ flag, but President Trump is taking on the fake news media, and President Trump is winning,” Carr concluded. This is definitely a dramatic list of changes, but for anyone like us who monitors media content every day, there hasn't been a noticeable evolution in the nature of the "news." It's still hyper-negative in its approach to Trump, even if some vocal hosts and reporters ended up on Substack. CBS News isn't "MAGA-coded," no matter what the Daily Beast says. Defunding PBS and NPR was certainly a victory -- so that conservatives and Republicans aren't funding their opposition media. But their programs are still incessantly left-tilted. It's certainly premature to declare a victory, but it's also true that the leftists feel quite demoralized about the trends in media, which they like to portray as creeping authoritarianism. They pose as the saviors of democracy, and when they lose, so does democracy. They want Democrats to retake control of Congress, and then they'll feel like they have their mojo again.

Over the past week, Fox News has given daily updates on the case of an 18-year-old woman, Sheridan Gorman, who was murdered on March 19 in Chicago by an illegal alien who was allowed to enter the U.S. under the Joe Biden administration. Furthermore, while MS NOW and CNN have ignored the story, Fox also reported that, in spite of being arrested in Chicago for shoplifting, he was never turned over to ICE for deportation or even arrested when he failed to show up in court. Fox has been covering the case since the killing first happened on Thursday, March 19, and, on Sunday, first informed viewers that the alleged perpetrator is an illegal alien, Jose Medina-Medina, who is from Venezuela. For example, on Monday's Fox & Friends, reporter Todd Piro related: Police arresting 25-year-old Venezuelan national Jose Medina-Medina in connection to the shooting of 18-year-old college student Sheridan Gorman. Now the Venezuelan migrant has been officially charged with first-degree murder, first-degree attempted murder, and multiple counts of felony aggravated assault. Now, the Department of Homeland Security saying Medina-Medina had been arrested twice before in 2023, but was released back into the United States under former President Joe Biden. Later on The Story, Fox host Martha MacCallum recounted: Venezuelan migrant Jose Medina, the Department of Homeland Security says in May of 2023 he was apprehended by the Border Patrol and released into the United States. Shortly after that, he was arrested for shoplifting in Chicago, but he still got to stay in the country, and he was released on bond -- and then, surprise, surprise, he never showed up for his court appearance. She then noted that the murder happened in the same area where Governor JB Pritzker (D-IL) went for a walk in September and made a big deal about claiming that it was safe even though he was walking in the early morning rather than at night. Here's MacCallum: "...and it is the same lake front that Illinois Governor JB Pritzker touted as very safe and said everyone's making too big of a deal out of crime in Chicago back in September." Later in the day, Fox host Laura Ingraham also played clips of Governor Pritzker claiming the area was safe. On Tuesday's The Faulkner Focus, reporter Garrett Tenney informed viewers that facial recognition technology had helped crack the case as he recalled the poor timing by some Democrats in the legislature of trying to bar the use of such technology in spite of its usefulness. And by Thursday, Fox was reporting that Governor Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson finally commented on the case, leading to Gorman's family issuing a statement criticizing the lame reactions by the two Democrats. On America's Newsroom, co-host Dana Perino related: And this story, the family of Sheridan Gorman -- the college student who was allegedly killed by an illegal immigrant -- issuing a new statement. They're taking aim at Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson over their responses to Sheridan's murder. After noting that neither Democrat had contacted the Gorman family, reporter Garrett Tenney recalled: Now, the Gorman family is responding, saying this about Governor Pritzker: "We appreciate that he has now, five days after our daughter Sheridan's murder, that he has finally spoken publicly about Sheridan. But Sheridan's death cannot be reduced to a general 'tragedy,' nor can it be explained away by broad references to failures somewhere else. Sheridan was a daughter, a sister, and a young woman whose life was taken in a way that should never have been possible. This was not abstract. It was preventable." Tenney went on to read the family's statement directed at Mayor Johnson, and noted that the Democratic mayor this week went ahead with plans to introduce a new snow plow provocatively named with an anti-ICE slogan -- "ABOLISH ICE" -- which was the winner of a local contest.   Transcripts follow: Fox's Special Report with Bret Baier March 19, 2026 6:11 p.m. Eastern JOHN ROBERTS: Fox 32 in Chicago as a Loyola University student is fatally shot early this morning.

Police arresting 25-year-old Venezuelan national Jose Medina-Medina in connection to the shooting of 18-year-old college student Sheridan Gorman. Now the Venezuelan migrant has been officially charged with first-degree murder, first-degree attempted murder, and multiple counts of felony aggravated assault. Now, the Department of Homeland Security saying Medina-Medina had been arrested twice before in 2023, but was released back into the United States under former President Joe Biden. The family of Gorman saying in a statement, quote: "We are gravely disappointed by the policies and failures that allowed this individual to remain in a position to commit this crime. When systems fail -- whether through release decisions, lack of coordination or unwillingness to act, the consequences are not abstract. They are real. And in our case, they are permanent." (...) The Story with Martha MacCallum March 23, 2026 3:52 p.m. Eastern MARTHA MacCALLUM: Venezuelan migrant Jose Medina, the Department of Homeland Security says in May of 2023 he was apprehended by the Border Patrol and released into the United States. Shortly after that, he was arrested for shoplifting in Chicago, but he still got to stay in the country, and he was released on bond -- and then, surprise, surprise, he never showed up for his court appearance. This is an old and very tragic story when it comes to this young woman and her grieving family. This is Sheridan Gorman -- 18 years. She was a freshman at Loyola in Chicago starting her whole life -- her college career out for a walk with friends by the lake -- and it is the same lake front that Illinois Governor JB Pritzker touted as very safe and said everyone's making too big of a deal out of crime in Chicago back in September. GOVERNOR JB PRITZKER (D-IL), dated September 24: Here on the South Side, early morning, lots of runners coming by on the Lakefront path -- Lakefront Trail, absolutely gorgeous... (...) The Ingraham Angle March 23, 2026 PRITZGER: Here I am on the path of the lakefront at 6 a.m. on a Monday, and we got a lot of people running, having a great time. Doesn't feel like a hell hole here.

Jose Medina had a judge issue an arrest warrant for -- more than two and a half years ago after he stole $132 worth of merchandise from a Macy's store in downtown Chicago. He got released on bail and then never showed up to court again. At the time, he was living in one of the city's migrant shelters, receiving housing, clothes, food and medical care all on the taxpayers' dime. (...) TENNEY: Police were able to use surveillance video to track 25-year-old -- this 25-year-old Venezuelan from this pier where he allegedly killed Sheridan Gorman just a few blocks away to his apartment. And from there, they were able to use facial recognition software to positively identify the Venezuelan national. Despite that, today, the Illinois lawmaker representing the same area is pushing a bill to ban the use of that kind of facial recognition software by police. Democratic Chicago alderman Raymond Lopez says bills like this send a clear message to criminals that they can get away with anything, including murder. RAYMOND LOPEZ, CHICAGO ALDERMAN: What the hell is wrong with these people when this happens? How can you with a straight face look your constituents in the eye and say, "This is the perfect time for me to outlaw the use of cameras and biometric technology even though I know it helped solve this murder?" (...) America's Newsroom March 26, 2026 9:06 a.m. DANA PERINO: And this story, the family of Sheridan Gorman -- the college student who was allegedly killed by an illegal immigrant -- issuing a new statement. They're taking aim at Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson over their responses to Sheridan's murder. So Garrett Tenney has the latest from Chicago. Hi, Garrett. GARRETT TENNEY: Yeah, Dana, good morning to you. Sheridan Gorman was killed one week ago today, and still neither Mayor Brandon Johnson nor Governor JB Pritzker have reached out to her family. It took them both days to even acknowledge her death allegedly at the hands of an illegal immigrant. And when they finally did, both men tried to shift the blame from their own sanctuary policies to President Trump. Now, the Gorman family is responding, saying this about Governor Pritzker: "We appreciate that he has now, five days after our daughter Sheridan's murder, that he has finally spoken publicly about Sheridan. But Sheridan's death cannot be reduced to a general 'tragedy,' nor can it be explained away by broad references to failures somewhere else. Sheridan was a daughter, a sister, and a young woman whose life was taken in a way that should never have been possible. This was not abstract. It was preventable." The family also had some strong words for Mayor Johnson who's facing a lot of criticism, including from some folks in the crowd yesterday for unveiling the city's new snow plow named "ABOLISH ICE" less than a week after Sheridan's murder. MAYOR BRANDON JOHNSON (D-CHICAGO): I want to take this moment to reiterate that Chicago does not want ICE on our streets, in our airports, nor in our city. Chicago believes in abolishing ICE.

The Washington Post is a Democrat rag. On Thursday’s front page, the below-the-fold headline on the left was “Democrats continue to reel in victories in special elections.” The subscribers surely loved it.  In the same spot on Friday was “Young conservatives’ bigotry has GOP on edge: Radicalization of youth on the right has set off bitter debate in the party.” Democrats love a “bitter debate” on the other side. The online headline was similar, but the subheadline was more specific: “Many Republicans dismiss such party members even as white supremacists like Nick Fuentes gain popularity, but there’s growing unease at their presence in the rank and file.” Let’s not deny the Republicans have a problem with antisemites in their ranks. Reporter Hannah Knowles quotes Sen. Ted Cruz: that he has seen more prejudice against Jewish people “in the last 18 months on the right than at any point in my lifetime,” and that “it is gaining real purchase, especially with young people.” But surely Knowles and the Post is not unaware that "groyper" Nick Fuentes has been out there raging against Trump. On March 16: “He needs to go. Like, I really believe that he needs to be impeached under the Democrats. And I don't even want him to be removed from office because I don't want Vance to become president either. I want Vance to burn down with all of it.” On December 28, 2025, Fuentes posted on social media that he’d vote for Gavin Newsom over “fat subhuman” Vance for president in 2028 “100x over just because he’s handsome.” Why is this nowhere in the story? Because the Post is a Democrat rag. There was a brief spot in the Knowles story for an official White House rebuttal of their partisan thesis: Davis Ingle, a spokesman for the White House, said Trump “has zero tolerance for anti-Semitism” and accused Democrats in Congress of “being taken over by anti-Semitic and anti-American radicals.” He pointed to Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minnesota) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Michigan), who have drawn rebukes from Republicans as well as some Democrats. The lawmakers’ offices did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The Post has covered Omar sympathetically as the victim of barbs from "creepy" Trump. She's not ruining the Democrats. Knowles based her story on a Turning Point USA conference, and had to admit: An official straw poll of attendees at the conference found that 87 percent of respondents viewed Israel as an ally, drawing a stark contrast with Fuentes, who rails against Israel. But the tension over their rise was front-and-center, in the sniping between speakers and the questions coming from the audience. This isn’t the first time the Post has been excited about the potential of Fuentes wrecking the GOP. Here’s the headline from last November 8: “Far-right provocateur Nick Fuentes is triggering a MAGA civil war.” At least that came before Fuentes endorsed handsome Gavin Newsom and Democrats impeaching Trump and removing him from office.

NPR reporter Rachel Treisman relied on politicized "science" to muddy the waters on Thursday’s Morning Edition in a story headlined “The Olympic committee bans trans athletes from women's events, raising many questions.” She questioned the common-sense decision of the Olympics to not allow biological men to unfairly compete against women in the 2028 games, and announcing sex testing via the SRY gene, located on the Y chromosome, found only in biological males. Treisman got it wrong right off the bat, referring to biological men as “transgender athletes.” The International Olympic Committee (IOC) will ban transgender athletes from competing in women's events, based on the results of mandatory genetic screening. Transgender athletes are not “banned” from the Olympics -- they would just have to compete against those of their own sex. "At the Olympic Games, even the smallest margins can be the difference between victory and defeat," said IOC President Kirsty Coventry in a video statement. "So, it is absolutely clear that it would not be fair for biological males to compete in the female category." …. Nevertheless, controversy ballooned in Paris 2024 when right-wing politicians and commentators called into question the sexes of two female boxers who had been previously disqualified from boxing world championships after failing eligibility tests. One of them was cleared for competition after approval last week, while the other — who has repeatedly identified herself as a cisgender woman — is challenging the World Boxing testing requirement in court. While the accusations were not proven true, they sparked a global debate over gender eligibility and prompted the IOC to begin the review that led to this policy. The IOC says the new rule is based on scientific evidence and "protects fairness, safety and integrity in the female category." But experts say the testing raises a multitude of concerns. Treisman threw up a lot of unconvincing roadblocks as if hoping some would stick. There are questions about the reliability and cost of testing [for the male-coded SRY gene], as well as the interpretation and finality of its results. Critics of the policy say it invades the privacy of all women, and that it discriminates against intersex people whose reproductive or sexual anatomy do not fit binary definitions of male or female. And even though the IOC says its policy does not apply to "grassroots or recreational" sports programs, some experts told NPR they fear it could affect more than just Olympic hopefuls. Suddenly, when it muddies the waters on SRY, NPR can define a man: But there are plenty of intervening variables, Schultz cautions. A male lab tech could potentially contaminate the sample, she said, leading to a false positive. And just because a woman tests positive for the gene doesn't mean she benefits from the hormones it produces. …. And while the IOC says the SRY gene "represents highly accurate evidence that an athlete has experienced male sex development," there is a lack of consensus about that in the scientific community. The complaints got really lame, involving “privacy concerns” and petty expenses. Is $250 per athlete really going to be the deciding factor, giving all the other costs associated with traveling and preparing for international competition? The screening alone can cost $250, she says, adding a financial burden to athletes and federations — and it's not clear who will bear the cost, or whether that might vary by country or sport. Schultz worries that cash-strapped countries could decide to send fewer women to competitions, or potentially none at all. There was an instance of mean-spirited conservatives "seizing" on the trans issue, while the unlabeled “proponents” just wanted "inclusion." As if world-class athletic competition like The Olympics must be “inclusive” even to those who clearly don’t qualify as elite in their biological sex category. President Trump and other conservatives seized on the idea of transgender women and girls competing in sports that align with their gender identity, opposed to what they describe as an unfair competitive advantage and potential safety risk. But proponents want sports to be inclusive — and worry transgender athletes will be cut out of participating.

Peter Alexander, NBC's chief White House correspondent and co-anchor of the Saturday edition of Today, is leaving that network supposedly in order to spend more time with his family and children. Do you believe that? No? And neither does pretty much everybody else. In fact the New York Post's Page Six revealed what is likely the real reason in the Saturday headline of the story by Carlos Greer announcing Alexander's split from his network: "Peter Alexander is leaving NBC after years of being passed over for top anchor jobs: source." Peter Alexander is saying sayonara to NBC News after nearly 22 years — including 15 years on the White House beat and eight as co-anchor of “Saturday Today,” we hear. The reason he’s leaving is a familiar one for TV anchors: The rigorous grind of 6-7 day workweeks has left him longing to spend more time with his family and young children, according to our source. And while that may be true, we’re told Alexander was also sick of being overlooked for top jobs at the network’s more prestigious shows like “Today” and “Nightly News.” “He’d be the first to say he’s had ambitions for the top anchor jobs, and with all of those spots recently filled, he’s going to try something new,” the source said. As for spending more time with his family, that excuse was completely blown by the not very surprising revelation of his new gig: Alexander’s last day will be on Saturday. We hear he’s going to settle for an 11 a.m. weekday anchor gig at MS Now, formerly MSNBC, the network NBC separated from after restructuring in 2025. MS NOW. Nowadays leftist network journalists who unconvincingly try pretending to be merely objective reporters often leave that pretense behind and reveal themselves fully to be the partisan hacks they really are on either MS NOW or as podcasters. When Alexander's full leftist bias is revealed on MS NOW it will come as absolutely no surprise to anyone who is at all familiar with him. One example of his obvious bias happened at the first press conference of President Trump's second term when Alexander seemed to not consider ILLEGALLY crossing the border as a crime worthy of deportation and that anyone doing so has a free pass to remain in the USA as long as they don't commit a violent crime:   NBC’s @PeterAlexander: “Karoline, very quickly just following up on the question on immigration first. President Trump, during the course of the campaign in 2024, said the following about illegal immigration. He said “they're going back home where they belong, and we start with… pic.twitter.com/TSN6MuOb3U — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) January 28, 2025 In sharp contrast to the way Peter Alexander interrogated Trump administration officials or other conservative sources, are the softball interviews he conducts with Democrats and liberals such as this series of soft pitches to Kamala Harris during the 2024 election campaign:   Peter Alexander was so obviously partisan as to even defend the lawfare against President Trump when Joe Biden was in the White House: “Let me also explain this one.” @RepDonaldsPress to @MeetThePress host @PeterAlexander who asserted: “To be clear, Joe Biden, there is no evidence he had anything to do with this case...Why is it appropriate for Donald Trump to call for prosecuting his political opponents?” #MTP pic.twitter.com/fa7TfYM57m — Brent Baker
