Can Bari Bury Mainstream Media Bias?

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2025/10/07

The Bari Weiss Era begins at CBS News. Will she restore credibility and fairness to the Tiffany Network, or will Weiss get buried by the progressive establishment at CBS? Andrew Malcolm seems more optimistic than I am about the prospects. We also discuss the changes this week at the Washington Post. Plus: What does the Schumer Shutdown tell us about our political culture -- and does anyone really care?

How to Stop Trying and Start Doing

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2025/09/27

Are you self-sabotaging by "trying"? Carla Ondrasik explains how to break the cycle that holds us back in careers, relationships, and everything else in her new book, Stop Trying: The Life-Transforming Power of Trying Less and Doing More. Carla and I have a great conversation about the book, her journey, and her passion for helping people break through.

John Ondrasik Talks: Free Speech, Shopping Carts, and...

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2025/09/25

Five for Fighting star John Ondrasik returns for a wide-ranging interview. We talk about entrepreneurship and shopping carts, as well as his music. His wife Carla has a new book coming out as well. However, we then delve deep into the Jimmy Kimmel controversy and free speech, in which John speaks as a creator in both music and commentary. That takes us to the topic of the Charlie Kirk memorial, Donald Trump's speech at the UN, Ukraine, and much more!

Kimmel & Fits

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2025/09/23

Jimmy Kimmel got suspended, then unsuspended, then held in limbo. Andrew Malcolm discusses whether this is a free speech issue or a market correction to a bad product. Also, is this yet another way in which Democrats are paving the way for a 2026 defeat?

Send a Message to the EPA -- And the Courts

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2025/09/17

The EPA wants to reverse not just the endangerment finding on carbon dioxide imposed on it, but also the Supreme Court precedent that enabled it. Phil Kerpen of American Commitment talks about his petition campaign to build support in the public comment period to reverse the endangerment rule. We discuss the challenges for Lee Zeldin in both the court and the political environment, and much more.

No More 'National Conversations'

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2025/09/16

As political violence ramps up, is it time for another 'national conversation'? Nope, says Andrew Malcolm, as those are just excuses for one-way lectures and demands to suppress real debate. We need to protect debate and dissent, and we discuss that in the context of the media coverage of the Charlie Kirk assassination.

Trump Corners Dems

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2025/09/09

Democrats are getting played on crime. As Andrew Malcolm points out, they're mainly getting played by their own Trump obsession. We discuss how Trump put them on the fringe of another consensus issue, plus the way that a viral crime story utterly defeated the Protection Racket Media embargo.

Trump Corners Dems -- Again

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2025/08/26

Once again, Donald Trump has forced Democrats to defend their indefensible policies. As Andrew Malcolm and I discuss, Trump's 'cornering strategy' has painted his opponents into the fringes of American politics. Can Democrats ever stop taking the bait? The opening day of the DNC's meeting in Minneapolis doesn't suggest that they are learning anything from the past seven months -- or the 2024 campaign before that.

Woke Is For Losers

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2025/08/05

Donald Trump's endorsement of Sydney Sweeney comes as no surprise, except to the people who keep falling for his trolling. Speaking of woke losers, Andrew Malcolm and I also discuss Kamala Harris' return to the spotlight on Stephen Colbert's dying platform. We also have our jokes of the week, and our observation on the YGBKM choice for Democrats' voice of conscience these days.

Is It Curtains for Late Night?

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2025/07/29

Has Stephen Colbert rung the curtain down on a genre that stretches back to the start of television? Andrew Malcolm and I discuss what made it work for Johnny and Jay, and why the genre is doomed in the era of Regime Comedy. We also discuss a much-needed rethinking of Barack Obama's legacy, and why Donald Trump's trade success confounds both Democrats and the media.

A Trump Juke on the Uke?

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2025/07/15

What is behind Donald Trump's change in direction on Russia and Putin? Andrew Malcolm predicted a major shift from Trump, and the next day Trump set out his 50-day deadline for Putin to stop the war. We debate what changed Trump's mind and approach, and how much more credibility he may have now after Operation Midnight Hammer.

What's Next in the Middle East?

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2025/07/09

Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump have changed the face of the Middle East. How can Israel and the US stick the landing? Jeff Dunetz of Lidblog.com and I discuss the latest and try to game out whether Hamas has anywhere else to go.

They Wuz Serious About Dat?

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2025/07/08

Was the decision to challenge Donald Trump to an early debate a secret head-fake, or some sort of bluff? Andrew Malcolm and I address the Worst Political Memo of 2024, and what it says about the Biden 'brain trust.' We also discuss our expectations of accountability for that scandal as well as the recent exposure of John Brennan's perjury before Congress. And when will Democrats stand for anything more coherent than Trump Derangement Syndrome?

Newsrooms or Narrative Labs?

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2025/07/01

How did the news media transform into the narrative-propagation industry? Andrew Malcolm wrote an excellent column based on a lifetime of experience in the field. We discuss the celebritizaton of journalism, starting with All The President's Men, the impact that higher-ed indoctrination had on reporting, and how it misleads the people who need real facts the most: voters.

Iran On The Precipice?

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2025/06/25

The Islamic Republic's regime has been battered in both military and political terms. Is this the moment when Iran implodes -- or frees itself from subjugation? Gregg Roman of the Middle East Forum lays out the competing interests, discusses how organic regime change could happen, and who the players are inside and outside Iran that would need to coalesce to make it happen.

Some Things You Just Can't Explain

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2025/06/24

When it comes to coverage of Donald Trump and the strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, some things Andrew Malcolm and I just can't explain. When it comes to Margaret Brennan's embarrassing interview of Marco Rubio, some things you just can't explain about that, too. In fact, the Left is having a very tough time explaining its freak-out over the weekend about Trump, especially in the media -- and Andrew and I have explanations about that, as well as much more.

Israel Finally Confronts Its Real Enemy

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2025/06/17

What was the biggest surprise in the past week? Israel's massive and nearly instantaneous defenestration of Iran's regime reminds both Andrew Malcolm and myself of the destruction of Hezbollah last year. We talk about the implications for the region, and what the US might do to hasten the end of the conflict. We also talk about Democrats' resistance to voter incentives and disincentives and wonder what is truly driving them to champion the 20% positions in American life.

'Mostly Peaceful 2.0': The Media's Disgrace Returns

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2025/06/10

Five years ago, urban riots ravaged American cities while the media insisted that the protests were "mostly peaceful." Did they learn anything from summer of George Floyd? Nope, says Andrew Malcolm, even though the narrative propaganda is even more threadbare this time in Los Angeles. We discuss a rare disciplinary action by ABC News over bias, and why the ideologue executives in the Protection Racket Media may finally have met their match in the corporate executive suites.

Worst Cover Up Gets Even Worse

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2025/05/20

Things looked bad enough for the media and Democrats on Friday afternoon -- and then two major developments dropped. Andrew Malcolm and I discuss the impact of the Hur tapes leak on the sense of betrayal felt by American voters. Then the Bidens made a stunning announcement about Biden's health -- which showed that there was no end of deception in the Biden White House and among Democrat officials.

The Iranians Got Caught Cheating -- Again

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2025/05/13

The US and Iran are negotiating a potential deal to keep Tehran from getting a nuclear weapon. But can they be trusted? Alireza Jafarzadeh describes the import of the exposure of their secret facility in Samnan, why it's clear that the Iranian regime is pursuing nuclear weapons, and what the US must get from talks to ensure they don't succeed.
