Media analyst @MMFA // Second fastest hedgehog on the planet I write about liars & propagandists in right-wing media -- and how they use MMA & the UFC as a cultural tool https://www.mediamatters.org/author/noah-dowe
Mark Levin is crashing out over opposition to Trump's war with Iran - goes after Tucker "Qatarlson," "Bloated Bannon," and "dumb blonde" Megyn Kelly
Also calls for @mehdirhasan.bsky.social to be "denaturalized and deported" for daring to question Trump
Fox audience cheers as Brian Kilmeade declares "we'll keep killing everyone" in Iran "until we get a normal person to lead the country"
I'm sure there will be no hard feelings
“The MAGA movement is surely dead”
“We're not supposed to be running around doing this anymore”
“Illegitimate regime”
MAGA media feud erupts over Trump’s war against Iran

Every time a publication (this time, CBS) repeats Dana White's "Trump saved the UFC" story, they leave out the part where Trump poured capital into a direct competitor in 2008 & even held press conferences for them at Trump Tower
Trump: "I think we may top them because we have the better fighters"
a slurring Trump in new video on American troops killed by Iran: “Sadly, there will likely be more before it ends. That's the way it is. Likely be more.“
The White House YouTube channel is currently rolling what appears to be AI art next to a rolling list of Trump "accomplishments," including such milestones as "President Trump issued a Proclamation on Leif Erikson day"
UFC fighter Bryce Mitchell -- who made headlines for praising Hitler shortly after attending Trump's inauguration -- is now breaking with the president over Epstein
"He's protecting them. You know he is, and he's been compromised, bro."

Laura Ingraham and Raymond Arroyo threw a tantrum because skier Mikaela Shiffrin said "fuck" after winning a gold medal at the Olympics
Fox running an "even Democrats are fed up with Mamdani" segment without mentioning the guy holding the mic was a Cuomo organizer
I checked in on Mark Levin, whose latest Fox broadcast was largely about how "now is the time" for Trump to take out the Iranian regime. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/mar...
When things are going well
Yes, this is what his guest looked like the entire interview
Now wishy-washy Rogan is dismissing Trump's name being in the Epstein files "thousands of times"
"He is the guy that was in contact with the FBI about Epstein. He did contact the FBI after Epstein was arrested and thanked them for arresting him and getting him, because that guy was a real problem"
In 2024, Strickland described being transgender as a “mental fucking illness,” leading right-wing media to rally behind him

This is what David Ellison is paying $7.7 billion for.
Meanwhile, he's about to push through another round of layoffs that will lead to another 200 journalists losing their jobs at CBS News.

This is an excellent political statement
Tense moments on Tim Pool's show as Alex Stein and Elad Eliahu get into a shouting match that descends into back-and-forth slurs
Stein: "If you weren't on Tim's dick, nobody would know who you are ... you have that f*ggot fucking mustache"
Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?
Give me fuel give me fire give me yabbadabbadoo
This clip is notable precisely because Rogan's been wishy-washy on criticizing the administration ever since his ICE commentary got media traction
e.g. last week he said the killings of Renee Good & Alex Pretti were "insane," then accused Dems of "bussing people into swing states" to rig elections
Joe Rogan says the Epstein scandal “looks fucking terrible” for Trump
Rogan: “He was saying that none of this was real, this is all a hoax. This is not a hoax.”
Patrick Bet-David: "The biggest fumble of the Trump administration and the responsibility keeps going back to Bondi"
Newsmax's Carl Higbie: A “complete disaster” and a “disservice to Donald Trump and this nation”
“After today, I don't know how her political career survives.”
“She is not to be trusted”
A “complete disaster” and a “disservice to Donald Trump and this nation”
“Likes cable news more than she likes the office”
Right-wing media turn on Pam Bondi as Trump’s Epstein scandal grows

Binders full of Epsteins
Roger Avary, who co-wrote Pulp Fiction, is basing his claims here on the "new chronology," a pseudoscientific theory which indeed claims 1000 years were artificially added to the timeline. Very convenient that every society on Earth somehow coordinated this and only one guy noticed.
Joe Rogan's dumbest guest yet: "I don't think that any history before 1600 -- I think everything has been falsified before the year 1600."
"About a thousand years have been added"
Others jumped straight to the usual bigotry, likening Haitians to "locusts" or "zombies"
Nick Fuentes: "Give me one good reason why we should not drop a nuclear bomb on Haiti"
