By Tim Graham ~ The arrogance of the liberal media can be measured by their dismissal of all conservative criticism as “bad faith” attacks on the press. Assuming that conservative critics are dishonest and disreputable cynics is a common trope of CNN’s Brian Stelter when liberal journalists become mired in scandal. In a June 15 […]
By Clay Waters ~ In an aggrieved follow-up to his controversial piece from Marathon County, Wisconsin, which he painted as a hotbed of bigotry, New York Times reporter Reid Epstein garnered a “Times Insider” Page 2 story, “When a Local Rift Grows Wider.” Epstein’s initial May 21 piece, based on a fight over a proposed declaration […]
By Tim Graham ~ At their recent “United Facts of America Festival,” PolitiFact interviewed Sen. Mark Warner (D.-Va). Their executive director Aaron Sharockman began with some light humor, telling Warner he was one of the more accurate members of Congress. Sharockman complimented Warner for having zero “Pants on Fire” rated claims. Warner joked “That feels like it […]
By Clay Waters ~ New York Times reporter Ephrat Livni, who reports for the paper’s Dealbook business newsletter, dipped into hyper-partisan anti-Republican politicking in Monday’s print edition, “Taking Both Sides on Issues Like Voting Rights Can Cost Corporations – Scrutiny Over Donations That Conflict With Pledges.” The online subhead: “Investors are on alert for companies that […]
By Joseph Vazquez ~ The New York Times told home-buyers to infuse eco-extremism into their decision-making when buying their homes. The latest climate drivel for The Times was headlined, “Add ‘Climate Hazards’ to Your Home-Buyer’s Checklist.” The lede paragraph reeked of agitprop: “As global temperatures increase and sea levels rise, home shoppers are looking at […]
By Tim Graham ~ Long before the pandemic, the local-news business had been in a tailspin. Newspapers across the country lost classified-advertising revenue thanks to Internet sites like Craigslist. Terrestrial radio stations lost their audience to iTunes and then Spotify. Most commercial radio stations don’t offer news any more. Most Americans under 35 think of […]
By Jarrett Stepman ~ It looks as if the surge in violent crime of 2020 is holding steady and perhaps escalating in 2021. Numbers on violent crime from cities around the country have jumped by historic and unprecedented rates in the past year. This surge is returning many of America’s cities to violent crime rates […]
By Gabriel Hays ~ We all know that taxpayer-funded media takes one look at the population that pays for their product and says, “thanks for the money, now, to hell with you.” Case in point, National Public Radio got with GLAAD, Hollywood’s gay lobby, and composed a “guide” on how to properly refer to people […]
By Alexander Hall ~ The left has begun to gather a massive coalition of volunteers to combat so-called misinformation online as the 2022 midterm elections approach. “‘The Truth Brigade’ now has thousands of volunteers who are using their personal social media accounts to dispel purported falsehoods from right-wing influencers and promote their own messages,” The […]
By Tim Graham ~ Fact-checkers came running to President Biden’s defense again. In Sunday’s Washington Post, “Fact Checker” Glenn Kessler wrote an article headlined “Biden’s claim that his ‘great grand-pop’ was a coal miner mostly pans out.” But if you read the actual article…it doesn’t pan out. Kessler admits that Biden’s great grandfather Edward Blewitt was a […]
By Tim Graham ~ Stephan Dinan at the Washington Times reported that Fox News viewers outperformed viewers of CNN or MSNBC on several policy issues. Those favoring the liberal networks are much more likely to believe the “climate emergency” media hype that we are “on pace for extinction within 100 years.” Relatively few people could place […]
By Clay Waters ~ “Ultra”-labeling bias reigned in Saturday’s New York Times, in which various political stories slammed “ultraconservative” Republicans in Congress, but coddled radical leftists like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez with flattering labels. Reporter Catie Edmondson threw around labels left and (hard) right. She managed the mouthful “ultraconservative” twice in a single story on Rep. Elise […]
By P.J. Gladnick ~ Watch or read the mainstream media news and a constant theme they have been promoting incessantly since the election (and well before that) is of a divided Republican Party engaged in a civil war. Well, longtime political reporter and Politico columnist Jeff Greenfield took a look at that claim and described it as wishful […]
By Tim Graham ~ Liberals are having it both ways right now. It’s nuts to suggest Joe Biden has a plan to take away your meat. But the eco-lefties really want to limit everyone’s meat intake, especially beef. On Saturday night’s All Things Considered, NPR host Michel Martin brought on New York Times columnist and […]
By Clay Waters ~ The New York Times continues to vituperatively attack Republican efforts to keep the voting process secure. Recent moves by GOP-led legislatures in Florida and Texas caused the latest meltdown in Friday’s edition: “Texas G.O.P. Pushes to Join Florida in Limiting Ballot Access.” The text box: “A sign of how much a […]
By Tim Graham ~ Liberals have gone from fretting over “restrictions” on voting to restrictions on rioting. They like to call them “anti-protest bills.” So Republicans are opposed to voting and protesting? On Friday night’s All Things Considered on NPR, their segment was titled “Wave Of ‘Anti-Protest’ Bills Could Threaten First Amendment.” Anchor Mary Louise […]
By Tim Graham ~ Stephen Collinson is well-known among conservatives as the most hackneyed of the hacks at CNN. The CNN Politics Twitter account promoted his latest online essay with the words “President Biden to showcase his moderate radicalism in his big congressional address.” “Moderate radicalism”? Doesn’t that make about as much sense as “quiet […]
By Clay Waters ~ New York Times Seattle bureau chief Mike Baker went to Portland, Oregon and committed one of the few and far-between pieces of actual journalism from the long-standing riot area in that city, where left-wing radicals and anarchists have been granted free reign to pillage and vandalize in the name of anti-fascism. […]
By P.J. Gladnick ~ Despite a plethora of media hype that most authors could only dream about including a “catharsis” with Anthony Mason on CBS This Morning and laptop laughter with Jimmy Kimmel, his recently published memoir has turned out to be a big fat bust. Just how big of a bust? Well, on Thursday, Showbiz411 had […]
By Tim Graham ~ Friday’s Washington Post splashed a big headline on the front of the Style section with a picture of number-one Fox News host Tucker Carlson and the words “The bully pundit: Fox News host Tucker Carlson often launches attacks on journalists. And once he’s off the air, the zealots who follow him […]
By Peter Murphy ~ The Cable News Network (CNN) is a shell of its former self to the point where no objective person can view it any longer as a “news” operation. Project Veritas, headed by James O’Keefe, which practices undercover journalism, just revealed CNN’s flagrant political agenda to embellish “climate change.” This episode reveals […]
By Clay Waters ~ Stay away from New York City, men in suits and “plutocrats of Park Avenue!” The New York Times doesn’t want you back in town. That was the message on the front of the Thursday Styles section in “Hisses for the Rich Who Fled – As the pandemic eases and wealthy New Yorkers return, […]
By Tim Graham ~ Washington Post media reporter Paul Farhi wrote a piece on Wednesday that sounded congratulatory. It seems the Biden White House has established “message discipline” and prevented negative leaking from the staff: The Trump White House provided reporters with a gusher of leaks. With Biden, everything’s changed. Where did all the juicy […]
By Jay Maxson ~ The Masters golf tournament begins Thursday and, writing over at Deadspin, FS1 blowhard Rob Parker (pictured) blew a gasket that it’s taking place in Augusta, Georgia. He blamed corporations for failing to apply enough pressure on the PGA to get it to move the tournament somewhere else in protest of the state’s […]
