By Tim Graham ~ When is a fake setting not a fake setting? When Joe Biden sits in front of it. The “independent fact checkers” – a phrase that in itself strains credulity – leaped to defend President Biden after he received a COVID booster shot in the Old Executive Office Building on September 27. […]
By Tim Graham ~ Joe Biden ran for president – in part – on the idea of being a national unifier, as someone who could work across the aisle and strike a bipartisan compromise. But that’s not at all the way he’s governing. The media are fine with it. They’re rooting for routing Republicans. Let’s […]
By Tim Graham ~ On Sunday, Politico treated readers to yet another article on how President Biden is troubled by those pesky conservative Catholic bishops and laymen. The headline on Ruby Cramer’s article: ‘A Private Matter’: Joe Biden’s Very Public Clash With His Own Church The excuse for this rerun is the Texas law protecting […]
By Tim Graham ~ Paul Mirengoff at Power Line ably called out Washington Post media reporter Jeremy Barr carrying water for all the left-wing media monitors. The Post headline is “TV news takes heat for relying on former defense officials as Afghanistan pundits.” But the “heat” is all cranky liberals. The Power Line headline is better: […]
By Tim Graham ~ America’s leading “fact checkers” describe themselves as “independent.” But watching their energetic defenses of Joe Biden’s politically damaging behavior reveals they are taking a side. In the first 100 days, I found PolitiFact evaluated Biden’s critics eight times more often than they “fact checked” the president. It was truly shocking when […]
By P.J. Gladnick ~ If you heard that a news organization had performed an instant political microanalysis of the effect that the Thursday bombings near Kabul airport would have on the midterm elections over a year away, you could be forgiven if you thought the report was from the Babylon Bee. However, in this case the […]
By Clay Waters ~ As the situation in Afghanistan becomes only more grim, the New York Times is properly condemning the Biden Administration’s lack of foresight and criticizing Biden’s false statements regarding the US evacuation. Saturday’s front page featured a “news analysis” from Peter Baker, which suggested Biden’s botching of the Afghanistan pullout might damage […]
By Joseph Vazquez ~ It is peak irony when New York Times economist Paul Krugman accuses fossil fuel defenders of “bad economics.” The same Krugman who wrongly claimed in 2016 that former President Donald Trump’s election would lead to “’a global recession, with no end in sight,’” wrote a new op-ed headlined: “The Bad Economics of […]
By Kelsey Bolar ~ A liberal male columnist and comedian says that conservatives are unqualified to fight for the rights of Afghan women—because they don’t believe women are oppressed here. “Afghan women’s rights are threatened—but the GOP isn’t their champion” was the headline Wednesday on Dean Obeidallah’s opinion column for MSNBC, as the world watched […]
By Joseph Vazquez ~ The Associated Press (AP) found a way to make President Joe Biden look like an American prophet warning about rising energy prices, without mentioning how his anti-oil agenda is contributing to the growing crisis. AP ran a puff story headlined, “Biden administration sounds alarm on rising energy prices.” The lede paragraph […]
By Clay Waters ~ Five years after then-media reporter Jim Rutenberg got the ball rolling, New York Times media reporter Marc Tracy publicly angled for even less impartial coverage of conservative political figures in Tuesday’s “Trump Is Gone, but the Media’s Misinformation Challenge Is Still Here.” The full deck of online headlines: Should news outlets contextualize […]
By P.J. Gladnick ~ On Monday, Politico channeled the freakout from Georgia liberals. The eye-grabbing headline: ‘We’re f—ed’: Dems fear turnout catastrophe from GOP voting laws There’s growing concern — bordering on alarm — about the potential impact in 2022 of the raft of new voting restrictions. Reporters Maya King, David Siders and Daniel Lippman began: After […]
By Clay Waters ~ The New York Times’ lead National section story Monday found reporter Catie Edmondson disappointed in House Republican Nancy Mace of South Carolina, in “‘New Voice’ for G.O.P. Returns to the Party’s Fold – South Carolina congresswoman’s pivot reflects rank-and-file’s reluctance to challenge Trump.” The text box: “Instead of challenging party orthodoxy, leaning […]
By Tim Graham ~ PolitiFact’s aggressive defense of Biden and Harris popped up again on Friday. They tagged it as “False” for a Tik-Tok video that “Says Joe Biden and Kamala Harris distrusted COVID-19 vaccines.” The quotes in the video are all accurate, but they caused Facebook to flag the video as “Missing Context.” As […]
By Tim Graham ~ When CNN’s Oliver Darcy takes the wheel of their “Reliable Sources” newsletter, it seems to begin with a raging editorial. On Friday night, it came under the headline “How Fox race baits.” That’s interesting. This came about 24 hours after CNN’s Don Lemon suggested to President Biden the Republicans wanted to […]
By Tim Graham ~ CNN became apoplectic whenever Donald Trump called them “fake news,” but on July 21, they offered President Biden a nationally televised boost that can accurately be described as a “fake town hall.” A real town hall would sell tickets in a city like Cincinnati and let the locals mix it up […]
By Tim Graham ~ Here’s an easy test to see whether fact-checking websites can make any claim to be “independent” and nonpartisan in tone. Biden staffers claimed Republicans “defunded the police.” That’s a bald-faced lie. On the June 27 Fox News Sunday, White House aide Cedric Richmond claimed that because Republicans uniformly voted against Biden’s massive […]
By Abigail Streetman ~ With Trump out of office and banned from most social media sites the left-wing fear mongers at NBC have nothing better to do than come after “Trump-lovers.” According to a recent FIRE survey about the willingness of Ivy League students to date members of the opposite political party, both men and […]
By Tim Graham ~ David Rutz at Fox News reported that liberal Russian-born American journalist Julia Ioffe offered an inside look at liberal-media frustration at being so carefully managed by Team Biden. Once again, courageous reporters complain anonymously. This was the hottest quote from her “Tomorrow Will Be Worse” newsletter. “Democrats in general have a […]
By Clay Waters ~ The New York Times off-lead story Monday by national political correspondent Alexander Burns was headlined, “U.S. Surges, But Politics Hold Firm – Partisanship Immune to Signs of Recovery.” But it may as well have been titled, “What Is Wrong With You Trump Voters?” Flummoxed by Biden’s stubbornly so-so approval rating and continuing […]
By Tim Graham ~ So much of what people call “news” isn’t hard facts. There’s a less favorable word for it: Publicity. When Democrats rule, news meets a dam, and publicity overflows. On June 29, ABC’s Good Morning America aired several minutes of this, swooning over Jill Biden, promoting a preposterously positive cover story in the […]
By Tim Graham ~ We’ve seen the Grammy Awards repeatedly grant their Best Spoken Word Album award to Democrat stars — Jimmy Carter three times, Barack Obama twice, Michelle Obama once, Bill and Hillary Clinton once each — but now the Democrats want an Emmy award. In Sunday’s Arts & Style section, Washington Post drama […]
By Clay Waters ~ On the New York Times front page Thursday, national political correspondent Alexander Burns spun frantically for the Democrats in his news analysis under a “have your cake and eat it too” headline, “Why Choose? Democrats Seek To Fund and Reform the Police.” The text box skipped the desperation and division of the […]
By Clay Waters ~ The front page of Friday’s New York Times featured the presumably rehabilitated Jonathan Weisman, who spent a long time in the paper’s doghouse for offending radical Democrats on his Twitter feed. His latest story is surely safe territory: “With Midterms in Sight, ‘Crisis’ Is Watchword for Republicans.” The text box: “A […]
