By Clay Waters ~ New York Times columnist Paul Krugman is at it again, conspiracy theorizing about Republicans wanting to prolong the Covid epidemic. (Meanwhile, left elites are prolonging useless mask mandates masks and vaccine passports.) In Friday’s column, “Biden Versus the Friends of Covid,” Krugman repeated his smears against half the country, just as […]
By Tim Graham ~ MRC’s Brent Baker called it the “Unintentional laugh of the week.” NBC News president Noah Oppenheim granted an interview to Tom Jones of the liberal Poynter Institute to talk about the news business, and Oppenheim’s claims about NBC’s objectivity are jaw-dropping. When he was asked what NBC aims to offer its […]
By Tim Graham ~ One of the most frustrating things about “fact checkers” is how they leap on conservative rhetoric against Democrats as “false” or “missing context,” but let Democrats say the wildest, nastiest things about conservatives, and they get a pass. For example, PolitiFact pounced on Sen. David Perdue of Georgia as a “Pants […]
By Curtis Houck ~ CNN and MSNBC spent over 1,600 minutes Thursday obsessing over the first anniversary of the January 6 riot on the U.S. Capitol, but it failed to translate into any success in the ratings department. Thanks to early numbers from Nielsen Media Research, the Fox News Channel cruised to an easy victory […]
By Clay Waters ~ The New York Times is making hay during the intense Democratic politicization of the one-year anniversary of the violent Capitol Hill riots of January 6, 2021, what an online headline called “the worst American attack in democracy in centuries.” (How many centuries are we talking about here?) The paper went “live” […]
By Clay Waters ~ A Thursday New York Times story by reporter Nick Corasaniti, set up as if to coolly analyze the state of U.S. “voting rights,” ended up the usual Times tissue of gross exaggerations and aspersions of Republican racism: “Voting Rights Tracker: What to Know About the U.S. Elections Fight.” The current battle […]
By Tim Graham ~ One of the most disturbing concepts in politics is the media elite providing the “first draft of history.” You can test-drive this with a look at ABC’s two-hour year-end special on December 27. It was mostly about celebrities and athletes and some natural disasters. But when President Biden came up, ABC was […]
By Tim Graham ~ From the Department of I Told You So: Washington Examiner media reporter Becket Adams discovered that Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank’s “study” comparing Trump coverage to Biden coverage using a computer turned out to be hot garbage, despite being quoted and celebrated on CNN and MSNBC. Or as Adams put it, “after some […]
By Clay Waters ~ Here they go again. New York Times Houston bureau chief J. David Goodman made Monday’s paper with this apparently newsworthy criticism of the Republican Party in Texas, “For Texas Governor, Hard Right Turn Followed a Careful Rise.” It’s the Times’ latest entry in a series of repetitive, fearmongering stories the paper […]
By Joseph Vazquez ~ Blame Americans! TIME magazine chose to blame the everyman to protect President Joe Biden from his disastrous economic policies and the supply chain shortages hampering the U.S. economy. The liberal magazine was blunt in its absurd condescension in a story headlined, “How American Shoppers Broke the Supply Chain.” The story bleated […]
By Tim Graham ~ The terrible election results for Democrats are going to lead to some terrible conclusions. One might be the assumption that these bad results reflect a media that’s too hostile to the Democrats. Greg Sargent of The Washington Post tweeted this lame summary from former Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer: “Republicans have a […]
By Scott Whitlock ~ The Washington Post, a paper that has endorsed every Democrat for Governor in Virginia since 1977, reacted to its latest defeat, the victory of Virginia Republican Glenn Youngkin, by arrogantly pivoting to a lecture about how he should govern. The liberal outlet on Thursday featured multiple articles, in the news and […]
By Kyle Drennen ~ On Monday, the Media Research Center’s CNSNews.com reported on Democratic pollster Cornell Belcher appearing on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday to sound the alarm about the upcoming Virginia’s governor’s race and predicted “that if former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, (D) loses the governor’s race to Republican Youngkin, it will be […]
By Joseph Vazquez ~ The ABC, CBS and NBC evening networks censored another disastrous economic report that incriminated the feckless policies of President Joe Biden. The Commerce Department’s new report showed that third quarter annualized GDP growth was an abysmal 2 percent. Bloomberg News referred to it as the “[w]eakest” growth of the pandemic recovery. The […]
By Tim Graham ~ Oliver Darcy of CNN’s Media Unit attempted to tattle on Fox News Channel in their so-called “Reliable Sources” newsletter on Tuesday night. His headline was “Guess which network didn’t carry the 1/6 proceedings.” Oh horrors, “over on Fox, the channel whose top host has mocked the very fact there was an insurrection on January […]
By Tim Graham ~ When the sad news broke that Gen. Colin Powell had died of complications from COVID-19, much of the coverage was reverent of his decades of public service and his status as the first black National Security Adviser, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Secretary of State. Colleagues like former […]
By Tim Graham ~ Liberal partisans who want to crush any shred of fairness in reporting are latching on to a Friday column in the Los Angeles Times by Jackie Calmes, who was an “objective” reporter for decades. The headline was “Why journalists are failing the public with ‘both-siderism’ in political coverage.” Jay Rosen, the […]
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 […]
