She's a woman, Rebecca Kutler, and she did fire Dowd. I was surprised
that it actually happened. It's the right decision, though. He crossed
some important lines, even for MSNBC.

Twitter says that multiple other people are being fired from schools for cheering the assassination. I'd like to think decency is making a

Veteran CNN international anchor Christiane Amanpour claimed that she
believed Israeli hostages u released on Monday after just over two years in captivity under the control of Hamas terrorists u were likely treated better than Gazan civilians as Hamas and Israel waged war on each other.

Amanpour argued that the hostages, to Hamas militants, had more value than civilians did because they could be used as leverage in negotiations. She
left out the fact that Hamas had killed a number of the hostages outright, leverage or not.

WATCH:

CNNAs Christine Amanpour: oThe Israeli hostages have probably been
treated better than the average Gazan because they are the pawns &
chips that Hamas had.o

Evyatar David was quite literally forced to dig his own grave.

oI pretty much can assure you that one, that once those doors are opened, it will be a scene of absolute, abject horror,o she began. oAnd I think for
sure, people who start to talk to the hostages who have only just been released, will find that it will take a long, long time for them to recover physically, but also mentally.o

oItAs been a terrible, terrible two years for them, because not only are they there u you know, theyAre probably being treated better than the average Gazan, because they are the pawns and the chips that Hamas had,o she added. oNow, Hamas has given up all of its leverage, by the way, by giving them all up. So that is a victory for the Israeli side. But they will have had so much horror and terror as well, because they were also in the war zone, many of them underground, we understand.o

A number of critics pushed back on AmanpourAs assessment, sharing photos and stories of hostages who might take a different view.

oCNNAs Christine Amanpour said that the Israeli hostages were treated well. Here is Evyatar David completely emaciated, as Hamas forces him to dig his
own grave,o one posted.

Regular CNN analyst Bakari Sellers veered into Nazi territory when he
referred to President Donald Trump as a "cancer" and suggested that the president's voters were vermin or even demons who needed to be
completely eradicated from the United States.

Sellers, during a recent panel discussion hosted by ousted CNN anchor
Don Lemon, claimed that the nation was well on its way to requiring an "exorcism" or even a "fumigation" to remove the MAGA movement in its
entirety.

WATCH:

Bakari Sellers tells Don Lemon: The country needs a
"fumigation" of MAGA.

Is this acceptable rhetoric from your panelists, @CNN?
pic.twitter.com/yYu4ubBetx

- Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) February 7, 2026

"You know, Joe Biden was somewhat of a bridge, he was supposed to be a bridge," Sellers began, suggesting that former President Joe Biden's
election had been a means to an end - the tolerable middle ground that
would allow the country to break away from Trump's first administration
and pave the way toward a real Democratic movement.

"A palate cleanser, or somebody who morally and ethically was
antithetical to who Donald Trump was," Sellers continued. "You know,
Uncle Joe was the nice guy, an older white guy comes in and you want to
eat ice cream with him, right?"

But then Sellers went on to say that President Trump's decisive victory
in 2024 had proved that using Biden as a "palate cleanser" had not been
enough to put an end to the Trump's support and clear the way for
Democrats moving forward. He made no move to recognize that Biden may
have failed to move the needle because he was not an effective leader,
nor did he raise the possibility that Trump had coasted to reelection
in 2024 because former Vice President Kamala Harris had not been a
strong candidate.

Instead, Sellers responded to that assessment by arguing in favor of
taking more drastic measures to "cleanse" the nation's palate of its
taste for Trump, comparing the president's supporters to vermin that
required "fumigation" and even demons in desperate need of an
"exorcism."

"I think what that episode in our country's history showed us is that
we really need some fumigation, right? We need a - a - exorcism, for
lack of a better term," he said. "We need a more aggressive approach to
go in and surgically remove the cancer that is the Donald Trump and
MAGA movement."

Actor Robert De Niro was so sincere in his hatred for President Donald
Trump that he apparently brought MS NOW host Nicolle Wallace to tears -
and choked up a little himself - during a recent interview.

De Niro was speaking with Wallace for an episode of her podcast, "The
Best People with Nicolle Wallace," and he reduced himself to tears as
he first claimed that he was always going to be about "lifting people
up" and then almost immediately complained about "this thing" currently running the country.

WATCH:
https://youtu.be/cJ7WzcpPrVE

"You're always about lifting up everybody," Wallace said. "Everybody
around you. Why is that?"

"Of course!" De Niro said, visibly affected by the question.

After a brief pause, he pushed ahead, still working to keep his
composure: "You have to. You have to lift people up. You have to bring
them together. Period. You can't divide people. You can't win that way.
It's a no-win situation."

"And look what we have. Look who we have there," he continued. "It's
almost like a destiny to have this thing there attempting to destroy
this country and maybe not even understanding why. So it's up to us to
protect the country."

"That we love?" Wallace prompted.

"Yes," De Niro replied.

Wallace, who did not appear to be crying, added, "You weren't supposed
to make me cry. Thank you so much. Thank you for this. We talked about
how this is the moment, this is the moment that it goes one way or the
other. Is it going the other way?"

"I don't know. All I know is people have to have to resist, resist,
resist," De Niro declared. "There's no easy way. It's not going to come
to you easy. You know, there's a time when you know in your own life
and your own survival, you better do this. You better jump and run
through the fire because if you don't run through the fire, you're not
getting out and that's what we have to do."

CNN and MSNBC used the phrase oconstitutional crisiso more than 200 times since Feb. 3, when Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) chairman Elon Musk announced that the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) was shutting down, the Daily Caller News Foundation learned in a keyword search of footage archived by Grabien News.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended the decision to shutter the agency during a Feb. 3 press conference in El Salvador, saying that his concerns about its oversight began when he was in Congress. He said the agency is ocompletely unresponsiveo and onot functioningo as intended after DOGE representatives appeared at USAID headquarters Jan. 31 and gained access
after a standoff with agency employees, ABC News reported. During a Feb. 4
Fox News interview, Rubio accused USAID of orank insubordinationo (RELATED: Alan Dershowitz Says Many aImproperA Injunctions Against Trump Executive Orders Will Get Tossed)

MSNBC used the phrase oconstitutional crisiso 141 times from 12:01 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on Feb. 3 to 12 a.m. Eastern Standard Time Tuesday, either from a host or a guest, according to the DCNF review. While CNN used the term only 69 times in that timeframe, 57 of those occurrences took place Monday and Tuesday, a pace similar to MSNBCAs 68 uses in that same time period, a count that includes re-airings of primetime shows late at night and in the early morning hours.

The increased usage of the phrase came after Vice President JD Vance criticized United States District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer, who was appointed to the federal bench by former President Barack Obama. Engelmayer issued an injunction at 1 a.m. Saturday barring DOGE and political appointees in the Trump administration from accessing the Treasury DepartmentAs central payment system.

oIf a judge tried to tell a general how to conduct a military operation, that would be illegal,o Vance posted Sunday on X. oIf a judge tried to command the attorney general in how to use her discretion as a prosecutor, thatAs also illegal. Judges arenAt allowed to control the executiveAs legitimate power.o

oMorning Joeo used the phrase oconstitutional crisiso 22 times starting Feb. 3, with 13 coming since VanceAs post on X according to the DCNFAs review and another six times on Friday. oDeadline: White Houseo used the phrase 23 times since Feb. 3, and 10 of those instances occurred Monday. Six uses of the phrase came in just under two minutes in an exchange between guest host Ali Velshi and New York University law professor Melissa Murray.

oSo in my view, Ali, all of this is a constitutional crisis. WeAre watching this unfold over time, and I donAt mean to be hyperbolic about this or to be on 11 all of the time, but the idea that the president can step in and appropriate congressional powers over how money is disbursed and to whom it
is disbursed, is a usurpation of the lawmaking authority,o Murray told Velshi after being asked a question that used the phrase three times. oThat is a genuine constitutional violation, and the fact that it hasnAt been corrected, or that itAs only been limitedly corrected, and it continues to go on among this executive is a constitutional crisis. The fact that the vice president
of the United States, who is a law school graduate, a graduate of the same
law school that I attended and from which I graduated, and who should know better, is talking about open defiance of the courts, that is a genuine constitutional crisis.o

oThe Supreme Court is not like the president. It doesnAt wield the power of the sword,o Murray said. oItAs not like Congress. It doesnAt wield the power of the purse. All it has for us to understand its work and to abide by its work is some sense that itAs legitimate, and what JD Vance is doing is
stoking the idea that when the courts weigh in and rebuke this president and his DOGE bro minions, it is somehow illegitimate and that is a dangerous, dangerous place to be.o

The phrase was also used nine times on oThe Source with Kaitlan Collinso Monday, with Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut using it three times in a seven-and-a-half minute interview with host and former Daily Caller
White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins.

The ex-girlfriend of Maine Democrat Graham Platner ripped The New York
Times for watering down its story on her accusations that Platner
treated her abusively during their relationship.

Lyndsey Fifield, who dated Platner from 2013 to 2015, said that the
Times convinced her to come forward to talk about her experience with
Platner, but then, the reporters left out critical details. In a post on
X, she said the Times otwistedo the story into a narrative driven by
PlatnerAs Senate campaign.

oIt dawned on me that this really was a set up all along. The
journalists I trusted who convinced me to share a story I never wanted
to tell methodically delayed and twisted this into a gift to the Platner campaign,o she said. oViolating the trust of his victims. Shattering the
trust I placed in them with the most vulnerable story of my life.o

In response to FifieldAs post, the Times said that it stood by its
reporting.

oWe published accounts provided by several women who were in romantic relationships with Graham Platner,o Times spokeswoman Nicole Taylor told
The Daily Wire. oOur story accurately presents each of these accounts as
told to our reporters and according to our standards. We stand by our reporting of the accounts from Ms. Fifield and the other women, who
provided a revealing look at the behavior of a major candidate for the
U.S. Senate.o

Fifield, a Virginia conservative, said she told the Times that Platner regularly grabbed her by the shoulders hard enough to leave marks. She recounted an incident in which he allegedly twisted her arm behind her
back, shoved her into a bedroom, and held the door shut, telling her to
stay there until she was ocalm.o Fifield said she eventually fell asleep
and left the next morning, according to the Times.

Platner has denied any allegations of physical abuse.

Fifield, who has worked in Republican politics, said that the Times
story downplayed the seriousness of her allegations and that stories
from multiple other women she was told would be included were not.

oAfter the story went up I began to ask them a wait, where are the
stories from the other women? Where are their accusations of sexual
assault? Why am I the focus? Why are there 11 paragraphs dedicated to detailing my work history (more than has been published about GrahamAs
by far)?o Fifield asked. oWhy does it say anobody could corroborateA
when I offered them sources that COULD corroborate?o

She added that she was tricked by assurances from the Times that it
would fully tell her story.

oI bucked all advice from my friends (and resisted my conservative bias)
and decided to fully trust the Times journalists,o she wrote. oAs they
left my home they asked that I not talk to any other outlets and I
insisted then and repeatedly over the following weeks that I would keep
my word and only share this story with them.o

She also said that the Times failed to use numerous screenshots she
provided to reporters to verify her account of the relationship.

oWhere were the screenshots theyAd said they would use? Or the mention
that IAd supported local democrats and that most of my family (and
husband) are liberal? The editors said it was too much, they explained,o
she said. oThe Times also failed to include any mention that I DID
confide in multiple friends through the years that Graham had been
abusive u long before he was running for office. Those friends confirm
they told the Times so.o

PlatnerAs campaign has been plagued by revelations that he sent sexually explicit messages to multiple women while married and maintained an
account on Kik, a messaging platform flagged by child-safe advocates for
being associated with sexual predators.

After a Sudanese national apparently attempted to brutally behead a man
in Belfast, Ireland, The New York Times on June 10 claimed the real
concern was oanti-immigrant sentiment,o not how the U.K.As open border policies enabled the attack.

Video from the attack, which went viral on social media, shows the
migrant attacking a native U.K. citizen named Steven Ogilvy in an
apparent attempted beheading. The New York Times (NYT) article does not describe the attack until four paragraphs in, and does not use the word obeheadingo once. The article also buries information about the
suspect, including the fact that he was a Sudanese who may have
fraudulently claimed refugee status, in the eleventh paragraph.

The NYT decided this story was less about why the perpetrator of this
brutal attack was in Northern Ireland, and more about the response of
the ofar-right,o a group in which the outlet places Elon Musk, who
infamously has children with multiple women and supports transhumanism.
To the New York Times, the story is that some people took notice of
violent crime by criminal aliens. ItAs the classic oRepublicans pounceo
trope that blames the people who notice the negative effects of leftist policies rather than blaming the policies.

According to the NYT, ofar-righto figures ospread misinformation and speculation about the attacker online.o Unsurprisingly, the outlet does
not elaborate what this misinformation entails.

A Sudanese migrant was able to enter the United Kingdom, claim asylum,
and stay in the country long enough to allegedly attempt to behead a native-born citizen. oThe righto doesnAt need to invent this story. The
facts speak for themselves.

BREAKING:

The asylum seeker who sparked huge riots in Belfast by
trying to behead a local has been named as Hadi Alodid.

control of the Muslim Brotherhood-allied Sudanese Armed
Forces. Beheadings are an Islamist specialty

u Visegrbd 24 (@visegrad24) June 10, 2026

The NYT also used plenty of euphemistic language to describe the
attack. Instead of describing it as an attempted beheading, the outlet
stated: othe attacker moves his hands near the neck of the victim.o

A local resident who witnessed the attack described her experience
quite differently, saying she had onever seen anything like it.o The
woman told BBC News NI that she was oshaking in the streeto while
calling police, and that she is now afraid to walk to the store alone.
Her reaction is understandable for someone who witnessed a gruesome
murder attempt u which is not merely some sort of nondescript hand
motion.

Rather than show concern for the victims and bystanders of such violent crimes, the Times focuses more on the worries of immigrants: oImmigrant communities in Northern Ireland said they were living in fear.o Never
mind the fear of native citizens who donAt recognize their own country
anymore and are banned from noticing that itAs not the native-born who
are most likely to commit these kinds of barbaric crimes.

The Times allegedorising xenophobic angero in Britain due to a rash of
similar recent attacks, including the murder of 18-year-old Henry Nowak
by a Sikh man. Body camera footage of NowakAs final moments shows him
being handcuffed after police found him bleeding on the ground. His
ocrimeo? His murderer had accused him of racism.

Rising anger in the United Kingdom doesnAt exist in a vacuum. The
country has seen mass third-world migration in recent years, with
serious negative consequences for native citizens. Most migrants to the
United Kingdom are from countries such as Afghanistan, Sudan, and
Somalia u all societies that hold values incompatible with Western civilization.

Gangs of Pakistani Muslims groomed and raped English girls for decades.
In response, the Times went after Musk for ovitriolico posts
criticizing the British governmentAs role in enabling these grooming
gangs. The British ruling class was reluctant to take action against
these gangs that were terrorizing citizens under their noses for years.
But Musk is the real problem.

Some protestors attacked police and started fires after the attack on
Ogilvy. In 2020, however, the NYT strongly supported the Black Lives
Matter (BLM) riots across the West in 2020, which damaged thousands of buildings and caused several deaths. The outlet called the protestors
in Belfast ofar-right radicals,o but called BLM protestors opeaceful protestors with aroom for rage.'o

Other NYT articles also focused more on the right-wing response than
the vicious attack: oThe cycle of violence and right-wing agitation in
Britain has become all too frightening and frequent,o is how Chief U.K. Correspondent Michael Shear begins an article. The majority of the
outletAs coverage highlights the angry citizen response to the violence
their government has unleashed on their streets while downplaying the migration crisis.

The New York Times is far from the only outlet to make this story about
the protests rather than the attack. The Washington Post said there was
a onew wave of anti-immigrant violenceo hitting the United Kingdom, and
the CNN called the riots ofiery.o No omostly peacefulo caveat to be
found.
