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.

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.

Things looked bad enough for the media and Democrats on Friday afternoon -- and then two major developments dropped.

The Godwin Party?

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2025/05/01

Democrats keep using Hitler as an analogy for anything in American politics they don't like, and Jeff Dunetz has had enough. He argues that the comparisons between Hitler and Donald Trump are not just ludicrous on their face, but also a form of Holocaust denial.

The Now It Can Be Told Genre of Journalism

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2025/04/15

What's worse -- hiding the truth of Joe Biden's incompetence or claiming virtue in revealing it now?

Is the NYT Killing America?

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2025/03/25

So writes John Kass, in an essay that Andrew Malcolm flagged for our latest episode. The mainstream media certainly seems on board with the effort to kill Tesla; Andrew and I compare their coverage of an extended domestic-terror campaign against Elon Musk's business interests and their obsession with January 6. The potential return of Rahm Emanuel gives Andrew a chance to recall his earlier connection to the former mayor of Chicago at the beginning of Emanuel's career. And can we really keep up with

What are the "woke mind viruses," and how do we cure the body politic of them? Author T.S. Dixon joins me to discuss his new book The Woke Mind Viruses, and what he sees as the origins and aims of the woke movement.
