It's not often that we associate leakers within the government with criminals -- often, they're just frustrated liberals. But leaking the location of potential ICE raids or leaking American troop locations endangers the safety of Americans. Are reporters going to defend these kinds of leaks?

Reporters like Oliver Darcy and David Folkenflik serve as sounding boards for the radical-left staffers inside liberal media outlets who are furious whenever owners or executives threaten to move any outlet toward the center, or make any move that seems to please President Trump. Vicious bias is equated with freedom of speech.

What a difference a year makes. Managing Editor Curtis Houck and Associate Editor Nick Fondacaro compared the liberal media’s reactions to Joe Biden’s final State of the Union last year to Tuesday night’s address to Congress by President Trump and found a surprising change from fawnings (in the case of Ol’ Joe) to exhaustion. Sure, they hated Trump’s speech, ranging from his policies to his showmanship with ordinary Americans. But other than MSNBC’s gross meltdowns (see Nicolle Wallace and Rachel Maddow), one got the sense they just wanted the day to be over.

Who let this happen on "Saturday Night Live"? Comedian Shane Gillis uncorked a monologue that mocked Joe Biden's cognitive fitness, liberal moral arrogance, and PBS documentary star Ken Burns as making dreadfully boring films. Plus some of the latest hatred of DOGE.

NPR CEO Katherine Maher came for a 15-minute interview at a Semafor summit on "trust in media," but it was a softball session. Instead of being pressed on NPR's liberal tilt, Semafor reporter Maxwell Tani was incredibly vague: "What have you done in your first year to build or restore trust in NPR?" I was in the room, and suppressed the desire to yell about the answer (and the question).

They called it a "bombshell" on Tuesday, when Trump press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced they were going to take the credentialing and pooling powers away from the liberal press. Liberals screamed, conservatives cheered. New York Times reporter Peter Baker tweeted "this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access." That's not what Trump did.

The new boss of MSNBC not only canceled "The Reidout" and "Alex Wagner Tonight," she also ended the weekend shows of Ayman Mohyeldin, Katie Phang, and Jonathan Capehart. Is anything really going to change -- other than Joy Reid's visibility? Is Symone Sanders much "safer" for MSNBC? Or is it just rearranging the host furniture?

The CPAC crowd loved Elon Musk playing with a chainsaw, but
the media played it as scary. Nobody is going to milk the Musk hatred like
so-called "public" broadcasting, the taxpayer-funded leftists calling themselves
the Mainstream Media.

Reporters are in a dither than Team Trump's committing a "naked violation of the First Amendment" by denying access to the Associated Press. The liberal blob didn't react this way when Team Biden obstructed access to The New York Post in their time. The AP in no way should be presented as nonpartisan or "the gold standard of neutrality."

It was a deeply weird Sunday at CBS. "Face the Nation" host Margaret Brennan argued that free speech led to the Holocaust, as if the Nazis allowed free speech. Then "60 Minutes" promoted German prosecutors fining and jailing people for "hate speech" on social media. CBS likes a little "German order" on the internet.
