The Media Research Center @themrc.bsky.social pounced on a text message scandal involving a Democratic candidate -- then complained when said pouncing was called out, and tried to distract from a text scandal involving Young Republicans.

Like a dutiful ConWeb outlet, WorldNetDaily has long lobbied for Donald Trump to win a Nobel Peace Prize, so it was predictably sad he didn't win one, with columnist Hanne Nabintu Herland blaming it on Norway not being right-wing enough.

The Media Research Center was unsurprisingly excited that Bari Weiss was made head of CBS News -- but labored to hide the fact that she's right-leaning and would likely make CBS more right-wing as well.
