More Screaming In The White House Briefing Room

March 23, 2023 by

1

By Tim Graham ~ The White House press corps is a microcosm of the national media. It is overwhelmingly liberal, stuffed with Biden voters. So it was downright weird when former press secretary Jen Psaki told the Los Angeles Times she sometimes thought “I am an orderly in an insane asylum.” The briefing room is […]

MSNBC Claims GOP Could ‘Hurt Its 2024 Candidates’ Bigly…By Not Going On MSNBC

March 17, 2023 by

1

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 […]

Beware The Advocates Of ‘Building An Antiracist Newsroom’

March 16, 2023 by

4

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 […]

Comedy! Leftist Radio Host Asks Jean-Pierre If The FCC Can Pull The ‘License’ Of Fox News

March 13, 2023 by

By Tim Graham ~ Tommy Christopher at Mediaite boasted of exclusive access to Muslim comedian and Sirius XM satellite radio host Dean Obeidallah asking White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre if Congress should give the FCC the power to remove their er, broadcast license after the cable news network’s communications were revealed in the Dominion defamation lawsuit. DEAN […]

Congressional Hearings About Team Biden Die In Darkness

March 4, 2023 by

0

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, […]

The Media’s Silly First Draft Of ‘Historic’

February 25, 2023 by

2

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 – […]

NPR Touts Biden As ‘Strong And Vigorous Man,’ Hails His State Of The Union Lies

February 20, 2023 by

2

By Tim Graham ~ On NPR’s Weekend Edition Saturday, host Scott Simon sounded like state-run radio as he touted Biden’s latest physical showed “a strong and vigorous man” as Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley “openly played the age card” in her announcement. NPR political analyst Ron Elving insisted “any kind of dissing of old folks […]

Simon Says! NPR Saturday Host Rips ‘Violent Enterprise’ Of Pro Football

February 13, 2023 by

2

By Tim Graham ~ Weekend Edition Saturday is a “news” program, but anchorman Scott Simon can uncork an occasional liberal commentary called “Simon Says.” On the Saturday before the Super Bowl, Simon ripped pro football as a violent game, chiding the NFL for basically abusing its labor force. The occasion was the Denver Broncos hiring […]

Democrats ‘Lost Hope’ In Kamala Harris

February 11, 2023 by

2

By Tim Graham ~ It’s funny when The New York Times comes under fire among liberals for saying something critical about Kamala Harris. A front-page story on February 6 was headlined “Frustrated Harris Struggles to Define Her Role.” This somehow required three reporters – Zolan Kanno-Youngs, Katie Rogers, and Peter Baker. The passage that spurred […]

DeSantis Faces CNN Smears Of Racism In Education

February 10, 2023 by

0

By Tim Graham ~ Anyone watching leftist cable news channels knows that it’s considered fair commentary to categorize Republicans, individually, or collectively, as “white nationalists” or “white supremacists.” Anyone standing in the way of the Black Lives Matter/Critical Race Theory crusade is dealt the Racist card. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis scored a political win in […]

Fact Checkers POUNCE: ‘The US Still Exists,’ Biden Didn’t End Us As A Nation!

February 6, 2023 by

0

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 […]

Tracking Hunter Biden’s Aid To Other Dissolute Bidens

January 28, 2023 by

2

By Tim Graham ~ In mid-January, a hullaballoo broke out about an application form Hunter Biden signed in 2018 to seek a rental in California. It listed the address on his driver’s license to Joe Biden’s house in Wilmington, Delaware – the same house where they just found classified documents. The form also suggested the […]

NPR Drops Bombs On The ‘Hard Right Republicans In Congress’

January 27, 2023 by

1

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 […]

New York Times Oozes Over Pelosi, ‘Liberated And Loving It,’ A ‘Washington Monument’

January 25, 2023 by

1

By Tim Graham ~ How much does The New York Times look like a partisan Democrat rag? Look no further than the yoooge 3,700-word Nancy Pelosi puff piece on the front of the Sunday Opinion section (and two entire pages inside) by Maureen Dowd. You could see the massive color photo on the outside, and a […]

NHL Hockey Commentators Get Out Brass Knuckles On Gay ‘Pride’

January 22, 2023 by

0

By Tim Graham ~ The “progressives” really cannot tolerate dissent, and especially when it comes to their LGBTQ ideology. Expressing solidarity with “Gay Pride” is not optional. Athletes who refuse to share in the solidarity should be punished, and teams that won’t punish them should be fined. On January 17, Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Ivan Provorov […]

WashPost Opinion Shocker: Tumulty Admits ‘What The House GOP Rebels Were Right About’

January 13, 2023 by

3

By Tim Graham ~ After a week of leftist-media hazing about a “hard right” faction holding Kevin McCarthy’s bid for House Speaker “hostage,” it’s a breath of fresh air to find Washington Post columnist (and Deputy Opinion Editor) Karen Tumulty acknowledging that there were principled reasons to negotiate in a piece entitled “What the House […]

How ‘Fact Checkers’ Rushed To Defend IRS Expansion

January 12, 2023 by

3

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 […]

NPR Gushes Over Non-Binary Author Of Explicit Comic-Book Memoir ‘Gender Queer’

January 6, 2023 by

1

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 […]

’60 Minutes’ Makes Fake News About Humans Ruining Earth

January 5, 2023 by

8

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 […]

Politico Creep: Pope Was ‘Homophobic Pedophile Protector, Hitler Youth Alumnus’

January 2, 2023 by

1

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 […]

‘Controversial’ To Put Brakes On The Border?

December 31, 2022 by

2

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 […]

Biden’s Cockeyed Christmas Message

December 29, 2022 by

2

By Tim Graham ~ Imagine being a speechwriter for a so-called “devout Catholic” president and being asked to write a Christmas speech. It sounded like the first instruction was: don’t say the words “Jesus Christ.” There’s mention of “the birth of a child — a child Christians believe to be the son of God; miraculously […]

WashPost Shovels Anonymous Dirt: ‘Musk’s Genius Reputation Crashing Down To Earth’

December 28, 2022 by

3

By Tim Graham ~ Once Elon Musk took over Twitter and started mocking the liberal media, the liberal media was bound and determined to portray him as ruining his reputation. On Christmas morning, the headline on the front page of The Washington Post was “Musk’s Twitter drama depletes his stature: Erratic leadership spurs a crisis of […]

HA! Jonathan Capehart Wrongly Claims Kamala’s Press Coverage Has Been ‘Rough’

December 27, 2022 by

1

By Tim Graham ~ As part of the carousel of cotton-candy interviews with NPR and Vanity Fair, Kamala Harris complained to Washington Post columnist Jonathan Capehart about her press clips! The headline for his valentine was Kamala Harris had a most excellent year.” Naturally, Capehart loved her passion on abortion and other radical culture-warrior stuff: She […]
