PBS News Hour co-host Geoff Bennett turned up on The Jim Acosta Show to promote his new book on black comedy titled Black Out Loud. Bennett and Acosta were both White House reporters in Trump's first term. After talking all about The Cosby Show and In Living Color, Acosta felt compelled to gush over PBS to a rather overenthusiastic degree.  After Acosta discussed his amazing experience as a subject on the PBS genealogy show Finding Your Roots, he praised the entire enterprise:  Jim @Acosta gushes to PBS host Geoff Bennett: "There's so many quality programs on PBS. I tell people all the time, if I could wave a magic wand, I would send BILLIONS of dollars to public broadcasting." That tells you who PBS pleases, and who PBS serves. pic.twitter.com/35hUb6aaE5 — Tim Graham (@TimJGraham) March 27, 2026 ACOSTA: And there's so many -- Frontline -- there's so many quality programs on PBS. I tell people all the time, if I could wave a magic wand, I would send billions of dollars to public broadcasting. BENNETT: [laughs]: Yeah. And I gotta say, it's really heartening to see the ways in which our viewers have stepped up post defunding. And the philanthropy is terrific, but really, it's the individual viewers who are standing in the gap and, deeply appreciate it. Shortly before this financial fantasy, Acosta cued up the first tribute, that PBS is how you can "fix the news." Oh, the fix the news, all right:  Jim @Acosta tells PBS's Geoff Bennett that when people ask how to "fix the news," he promotes PBS. Oh, they "fix the news" all right. The rig it just the way that the Left wants it. Bennett brags they draw 2 million viewers a night, more than cable news. Fox News laughs. pic.twitter.com/3dp6HdyuIg — Tim Graham (@TimJGraham) March 27, 2026 ACOSTA: I have to put you on the spot a little bit because I have to ask you, you're the anchor of the PBS News Hour, and I'm going to embarrass you a little bit and say what a huge fan I am of the program BENNETT: Thank you. ACOSTA: You and Amna [Nawaz] just do terrific work, and I also want to promote the PBS News Hour. I go out and do these speaking engagements from time to time, and people ask me, how would you fix the news? How would you fix broadcasting? And I tell people all the time, in addition to independent media and the importance of independent media, I think public broadcasting is so important in this country, and it's not valued enough, and as a matter of fact, it's been defunded, and I don't want to drag you into all that. But your thoughts on why you're proud to be at the PBS News Hour and to be a part of public broadcast, because I wish it would be said much more often. So I'm going to put you on the spot and make you do it. BENNETT: First of all, thank you for the kind words about the broadcast. As you know, it is a team effort, and I view my role as being a steward of that institution. For more than 50 years, people have tuned or turned to the PBS News Hour for coverage they can trust, they know that we have a fidelity to the facts, and we are really intentional about the stories we cover, about the voices we elevate. Our editorial meeting, sometimes it's longer than the broadcast itself in the mornings. It's not always the most efficient way to get a broadcast on the air, but it really speaks to the level of intention and care we bring to the broadcast. And I would also say that the news hour sometimes people have this perception of it being this deeply respected but little watched program. We have two million viewers every night, which is four or five times what you have on cable in prime time, on most nights, and 30 million across our digital footprint. This is where the "fact checking" should kick in. If the News Hour drew exactly 2.0 million viewers every night, a look at the February cable-news ratings would show it would come behind 12 Fox News programs and Rachel Maddow's Monday show. Bennett's show might outshine CNN and most of MS NOW, but not typically by four or five times.

With Alyssa Farah Griffin still out on maternity leave, Abby Huntsman was next in the parade of purportedly “conservative” and “Republican” guest co-hosts. On Thursday’s show, Huntsman was somehow tripped up by co-host Joy Behar who simply asked Huntsman to talk about one of her conservative values. Despite the value being dealer’s choice, Huntsman looked like a deer in the headlights and floundered around for a bit before simply settling for ‘smaller government.’ Amid yet another segment kvetching about President Trump, co-host Sunny Hostin asked Huntsman about how she saw herself fitting in the current party given she and her family were known for being moderate Republicans. “What do you see as your place in the Republican Party and what do you see the Republican Party going forward?” Hostin asked. Huntsman began to say that she grew up with conservative values and still held them close to her heart. But when Behar interrupted to demand she express one of her deeply held conservative values, Huntsman froze (pictured above) before going on about a “healthy” “two-party system” and how Republicans needed to ditch Trump: HUNTSMAN: That's a great question. I grew up with a lot of conservative values. Many that I still hold close to my heart. BEHAR: Give us one. [Laughter] HUNTSMAN: My conservative values? BEHAR: Yeah, give me one. HUNTSMAN: Well, I think it depends on what you view the government's role is. And I - I think our country's only as healthy as a two-party system. I want the Democratic Party to figure out how to beat Trump again. I want the Republican Party to figure out - “But why is that conservative?” Behar interrupted again. “I agree with that. I'm not a conservative and I agree with that.”   Abby Huntsman was brough in to guest co-host from the "conservative"/"Republican" seat. But when asked to share a conservative value she holds, Huntsman flounders and after a while just says she likes smaller government: HOSTIN: What do you see as the future of the Republican… pic.twitter.com/jYiYZJV2Lu — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) March 26, 2026   Hostin threw Huntsman a lifeline by reminding her that conservatives liked smaller government; to which Behar suggested she was actually an independent like co-host Sara Haines. Huntsman admitted she held liberal values: HOSTIN: You believe in smaller government. HUNTSMAN: I believe in a smaller - But I was -- The point I'm trying to make I don't check every single box of whatever -- I don't even know what the party is today. I don't think the Trump party. BEHAR: Maybe you're an independent like Sara. HUNTSMAN: No. You know, I got a lot of conservative, I have a lot of libertarian values and there are probably things I'm more liberal on. Huntsman defended her liberal values by saying no one fits into a simple box and tried appealing to audience fore back up: I don't fit in it a box. I don't think all of us in this room fit perfectly in one box. That's what America is and that's what we need to stand up for. I don't want to be defined as something - because I do have thing that are more conservative values on certain -- Behar interrupted one more time, this time to make fun of Trump. “Before we go, can I just say Trump did win one award. A McDonald's frenchfry certification,” she jabbed. Oof, if Sunny Hostin of all people needed to remind Huntsman of her lines, The View was not sending us the best conservatives.

A judge described by President Donald Trump as “wacky, nasty, crooked, and totally out of control” has, for once, sided with the administration in a deportation case. On Wednesday, District of Columbia Chief Judge James Boasberg ruled that a liberal group’s lawsuit to vacate a 2025 U.S. agreement with El Salvador, under which the Central American country agrees to take back illegal aliens convicted of crimes in the U.S., lacked standing. “This Court is all too familiar with the Government’s hasty deportation of immigrants to El Salvador, though only through the lens of individual removals,” Boasberg, who is known for repeatedly ruling against Trump in high-profile cases, acknowledges in his Wednesday opinion. But, in this case, the issue isn’t so much about the removal of illegal aliens as it is about whether or not the U.S. can enter into agreements with other countries, Boasberg writes: “The present suit arrives from a different vantage point, training its sights not on those removals but on the diplomatic instrument that preceded and allegedly enabled them.” …. “Defendants ultimately prevail on the threshold question of standing. Even assuming the Agreement helped set in motion the events Plaintiffs describe, it does not itself carry independent legal force, and vacating it would not likely prevent the conduct that produces their injuries. The Court will therefore grant the Motion to Dismiss.” In August, a federal appeals court voted 2-1 Friday to throw out Judge Boasberg’s contempt finding against Trump regarding his court order that the Trump Administration turn airplanes around and return illegal aliens on their way to El Salvador back to the U.S. The Obama-appointed judge, one of a number of activist, rogue judges that House Republicans are working to impeach, had ruled that the Trump Administration did not have the authority to deport more than two hundred illegal alien gang members and ordered the planes carrying the gang members to turn around and bring them back to the U.S. Earlier this month, in a TruthSocial.com post, Pres. Trump called Boasberg a “wacky, nasty, crooked, and totally out of control” judge who shouldn’t be allowed to involved in any future cases regarding the president and his administration. "In case after case, Boasberg has displayed open, flagrant, and extreme partisan bias and contempt against Republicans and the Trump Administration," the president claimed, after Boasberg ruled that the administration's subpoenas of the Federal Reserve Board were meant to harass and pressure Fed Chair Jerome Powell.

On Friday’s edition of The Dana Show, Media Research Center President David Bozell joined host Dana Loesch to pull back the curtain on the "Censorship Industrial Complex’s" latest efforts to gaslight the American public. From burying overwhelming support for the SAVE America Act to the universally negative coverage of military successes in Iran, Bozell warned that the legacy media has moved beyond simple bias into a total blockade of the truth. Loesch opened the segment by highlighting a massive disconnect in the national dialogue. While the media relentlessly frames the SAVE America Act as "Jim Crow 2.0," Bozell pointed to a recent investigation by the MRC NewsBusters team that caught CBS News red-handed. The network conducted a poll showing overwhelming support for the measure, yet their reporters conveniently forgot to mention the most explosive data buried in their own survey’s crosstabs. 80% of Black Americans, 77% of Hispanics have no problem with voter ID. The media totally fabricated this lie that "voter ID is racist."@DavidBozell @DLoesch @DanaLoeschRadio pic.twitter.com/slnyBV7Z7F — Media Research Center (@theMRC) March 27, 2026 "Craig Bannister, who works for us over at CNSNews, dug through their poll... and saw the crosstabs," Bozell explained. The numbers tell a different story: over 80 percent of Black Americans and 77 percent of Hispanics support valid photo ID to vote. "This remains an 80-percent issue despite months of Democrats throwing everything they could at this," Bozell told Loesch. By scrubbing these facts from their broadcasts, the elitist media is effectively gaslighting the very demographics they claim to protect. "That's an abject lie. That's a total inversion of the truth."@DavidBozell torches Apple News for showing its 125 million users Chuck Schumer standing in front of a sign that read, "Republicans have blocked funding for TSA 8 times." @DLoesch @DanaLoeschRadio pic.twitter.com/zUZEih4BdK — Media Research Center (@theMRC) March 27, 2026 The conversation shifted to how Apple is managing the narrative for 125 million Apple News users. Bozell recounted a chilling example of a "headline scroll" that featured Chuck Schumer blaming Republicans for TSA funding. This was an abject lie and a total inversion of the truth. "This is not just your typical run-of-the-mill liberal bias," Bozell warned. "This is a total blockage of the conservative viewpoint at the point of entry." The duo also tackled the media’s "Baghdad Bob" routine regarding the conflict in Iran. Bozell cited staggering MRC data: in the first week of the conflict, over 90 percent of jokes on late-night television were anti-American or anti-military. "The tenor and the tone of the coverage is anti-Trump—that he doesn’t know what he’s doing," Bozell said, noting the media’s refusal to recognize military success. "It’s infuriating." Catch the full segment below:

In a major victory for fairness in women’s athletics, the International Olympic Committee announced a new policy on Thursday: eligibility for female Olympic events will now be limited to biological females, verified through mandatory gene screening. The era of men competing in women’s sports appears to be ending. On Friday’s edition of Vince, podcast host Vince Coglianese highlighted the absurdity of the mainstream media’s coverage. The Associated Press ran a headline that read: “Trans women athletes are banned from the Olympics by a new IOC policy on female eligibility.” As Coglianese pointed out, a casual reader could easily misinterpret that to mean actual women athletes were being barred from competing against women. David Bozell, President of the Media Research Center (MRC), called out the deliberate deception. “The deceit is part of the scam,” he said. “They’re trying to convince you to reject reality.”  Biological males can still compete — they simply must do so in the category matching their birth sex. Most outlets ran with the loaded word “banned,” while ESPN opted for the softer “excluded.” Bozell praised President Trump for leading the charge against men in women’s sports, noting, “All kudos and credit to the President on this one. No one carried this message further and wider than the President of the United States, and he deserves public credit for that.” Bozell also credited the conservative base and movement for amplifying the issue effectively, reaching millions in record time. .@DavidBozell and @VinceCoglianese celebrate the Olympics banning men from cheating in women's sports and applaud President Trump's work in fighting for women's rights pic.twitter.com/pqVoKlIQyn — Media Research Center (@theMRC) March 27, 2026 Coglianese reminded listeners how media manipulation can sway elections. He referenced MRC’s past research on the Hunter Biden laptop story, which found that if more voters had known the truth in 2020, the election outcome could have shifted dramatically in Trump’s favor. .@DavidBozell and @VinceCoglianese discuss the MRC poll that proved how the media's lack of coverage on Biden's scandals impacted the 2020 election results pic.twitter.com/W07FiIkeRY — Media Research Center (@theMRC) March 27, 2026 The IOC’s decision marks a long-overdue return to common sense and basic biology.
