By Tim Graham ~ Everyone who normally or occasionally votes Republican knows that any candidate the GOP chooses as the 2024 nominee for president is going to be treated by the media as either an extremist or as beholden to extremists. No one has to wait for this to happen to potential candidate Ron DeSantis. […]
By Joseph Vazquez ~ The Associated Press attempted to blame Twitter owner Elon Musk and “pro-Russian” Twitter accounts for Americans’ distrust of Big Daddy Government and liberal media gaslighting about the toxic Ohio train disaster. Talk about a ridiculous attempt at a stretch. AP whined in a Mar. 18 story — “Pro-Moscow voices tried to […]
By Tim Graham ~ This was laugh-out-loud (LOL) stuff. Joy Reid’s staff blogger proclaimed that what Republican presidential candidates really need to be successful is to appear on leftist shows like The Reidout. At MSNBC.com, there was this headline over an article by Ja’han Jones: GOP’s 2024 candidates have a major media problem on their […]
By Tim Graham ~ No one today who is a consumer of journalism can claim our national media are strictly, soullessly objective and nonpartisan. But the Left is still on a long march through the media, insisting that any shred of adherence to a notion of objectivity is an embrace of white supremacy. Take a […]
By David Wojick, Ph.D. ~ Press coverage of the tragic whale deaths is a supreme study in confusion, especially the foolish attempts to somehow exonerate offshore wind development. Here are some prominent examples. The evergreen New York Times wins the race for worst coverage by claiming to explain the numerous recent whale deaths as due […]
By P.J. Gladnick ~ “Comprehensive immigration reform.” It the magic phrase so beloved by liberals. Despite the lack of enforcement of existing immigration laws especially at the border, liberals claim that “comprehensive immigration reform” will somehow solve the current problems. Of course, they never get into specifics because to do so would make it very […]
By Nate Jackson ~ A New York Times investigation of migrant child labor places the blame everywhere but where it belongs. The Biden administration is investigating the Biden administration for child exploitation. That’s dark humor, and it’s not exactly true, though the White House says it’s on the case. What we really need is the […]
By Tim Graham ~ The easiest layup in proving the “mainstream media” is hyperpartisan is to study how they cover congressional hearings. After two years of obsessive media promotion and congratulation and live coverage of the Pelosi-Picked Panel on January 6, the network “newscasts” can’t locate a hearing now with two hands. On March 1, […]
By P.J. Gladnick ~ Despite even some Democrats criticizing Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s response to the East Palestine, Ohio train derailment, the Washington Post chose to ignore that and focus in on Republicans who are “seizing” (formerly “pouncing”) on the accident to attack poor Buttigieg. Reporters Yasmeen Abutaleb, Ian Duncan, and Justine McDaniel acted more […]
By Joseph Vazquez ~ Politico is apparently suffering from a bout with confusion. The liberal outlet is floating “sav[ing] the planet” by blocking — *checks notes* — the thing that literally gives the planet life. Politico ran a headline promoting the mad science of solar geoengineering like it’s a legitimate solution to solve the leftist […]
By Tim Graham ~ One of the worst glorifications of journalism is to call it “the first rough draft of history.” At least old Washington Post boss Philip Graham once blustered about “our inescapably impossible task of providing every week a first rough draft of history.” Some events are so catastrophic – think September 11 – […]
By Tim Graham ~ The “independent fact-checkers” who rush to defend President Biden want everyone to know “The US still exists.” PolitiFact, Lead Stories, Associated Press, and USA Today all pounced on a TikTok video claiming Biden signed away American sovereignty recently during his visit to Mexico at a summit with the leaders of Mexico and […]
By Clay Waters ~ The New York Times was going all-out with its gas-stove “eliminationist rhetoric,” (to coin a phrase) putting this snotty headline over a front-page story Monday: “Gas Stoves Are Just Fine, Claims the Scientist Paid to Say So.” The story was written by investigative climate desk reporter Hiroko Tabuchi, who has shown herself […]
By Tim Graham ~ My maxim on the media’s use of ideological labeling is “The epic political battles of our time are between the ultraconservatives and the nonpartisans.” Journalists see Republicans as a whole as ultraconservative, or as a wholly owned subsidiary of the ultraconservatives. Journalists firmly on the Left think of themselves as the […]
By Clay Waters ~ The federal government banning gas stoves? What a deluded notion, sneered the New York Times. Yet a short time later the paper published articles outlining alternatives to hazardous gas stoves. Thursday’s dismissive story by Elena Shao and Lisa Friedman appeared under the dismissive print-edition headline: “No, Biden Is Not Trying to Ban […]
By Clay Waters ~ New York Times media reporter Michael Grynbaum pouted about Florida’s governor and potential Republican presidential candidate thumbing his nose at the “national nonpartisan” (!) media, in “Can Ron DeSantis Avoid Meeting the Press?” on Wednesday. None of these people have the faintest idea that skipping a beating from the national press […]
By Tim Graham ~ House Republicans carried out a pledge to vote to repeal a $71 billion increase in spending for the Internal Revenue Service that was included in Joe Biden’s so-called “Inflation Reduction Act.” Reporters called this a “messaging bill,” since there’s no chance it will pass a Democrat-controlled Senate or be signed by […]
By Clay Waters ~ The New York Times took advantage of the Republican kerfuffle around the days of voting it took to install House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy as House Speaker, to wedge in as many scary “far-right” style labels and frantic messaging as it could throughout several days of intense coverage. Carl Hulse and […]
By Tim Graham ~ On Wednesday, NPR returned to the ongoing media party for Maia Kobabe, author of the comic-book memoir Gender Queer, celebrated throughout Liberal Land for having the “Most Challenged” book of 2021. Not only was there a seven-minute interview on Morning Edition with anchor Rachel Martin. There was also a Kobabe essay […]
By Tim Graham ~ Chalk this up as 60 Minutes hosting the worst peddler of false knowledge since Dan Rather left the set. CBS kicked off 2023 by touting “mass extinction” blather by Paul Ehrlich, the guy who’s been peddling radical and misanthropic eco-garbage since his book The Population Bomb in 1968. That screed began: “The battle […]
By Clay Waters ~ For decades the liberal press, including the New York Times, used the Federal Bureau of Investigation as a symbol of the fears of oppressive government surveillance, investigating allegations that the agency surveilled civil rights leaders and radical anti-war groups during the Vietnam War. The Times hyped myriad other civil liberties concerns […]
By Tim Graham ~ Twitter might encourage hot-take clicks when someone important dies. On Saturday afternoon, Politico cybersecurity reporter Eric Geller couldn’t help but trash recently deceased Pope Benedict XVI with this (linking to the New York Times obit): “Homophobic pedophile protector and Hitler Youth alumnus dead at 95.” After he received a rash of […]
By Tim Graham ~ When he reflected on his time as Treasury Secretary under Presidents Nixon and Ford, William Simon joked the media called him “controversial William Simon” so much he thought “controversial” sounded like his first name. “Controversial” can certainly be an accurate adjective, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t wielded very deliberately to […]
By Clay Waters ~ After November 2022’s Red Wave turned out to be a trickle and with COVID case numbers creeping up again, there is fear an emboldened “science”-loving left wing, egged on by a gullible press, will again try to impose draconian COVID-19 rules, including mask mandates. A Department of Health and Human Services […]
