By Tim Graham ~ One of the most annoying habits at PolitiFact is the tendency to treat standard political rhetoric as some kind of falsehood. Take Congressman Jody Hice (R-Georgia), who tweeted on November 12 about the Democrats, “If they truly wanted unity, they wouldn’t have spent 4 years refusing to acknowledge Trump’s 2016 victory.” Anyone […]
By Joseph Vazquez ~ The liberal outlet Politico is already attempting to shield former Vice President Joe Biden from criticism of a potential economic failure by — wait for it — blaming President Donald Trump. The outlet’s story was pathetically headlined “Trump Strips Biden’s Options to Boost the Economy.” The main argument: “Joe Biden is […]
By Tim Graham ~ On Friday, Washington Post media reporter Paul Farhi explored the increasing snark in White House “pool reports,” which are supposed to be dry, fairly objective descriptions of presidential movements, but with today’s Trump-hating press corps, no one could possibly be restrained. The headline in the paper was “Waters are getting a […]
By Gabriel Hays ~ As Antifa and BLM continue their sixth month of mob rule over our cities without any pushback from “decent” Democrats, lefty celebrities like Alec Baldwin have the nerve to refer to President Trump as an authoritarian leader who deserves a gravestone with a “swastika” carved into it. The Saturday Night Live […]
By Clay Waters ~ The 2020 presidential election hasn’t been decided as of this writing, but the New York Times is bitter and panicky about Joe Biden’s surprisingly big loss in Florida and dug up a pathetic excuse: Hispanics were the victims of “disinformation”! In Thursday’s edition, reporters Patricia Mazzei and Nicole Perloth trotted out “Experts Call […]
By Clay Waters ~ Jessica Bennett, the New York Times’ first “gender editor,” filed some silly pre-election psychoanalysis for Monday’s edition: “Trump (Tough Guy), Biden (Nice Guy) and the Politics of Manliness.” Bennett opened with the textual equivalent of a campaign video for a former Democratic president the media clearly misses, in the service of pushing […]
By Gabriel Hays ~ Prominent Twitter lefties including Hollywood celebs and Democrat politicians rushed to condemn President Trump’s use of the term “coyotes” in a discussion on legal immigration during the final presidential debate. Their reasoning, however, was not because they claimed the term was xenophobic, but because they couldn’t imagine small canine being able […]
By Clay Waters ~ New York Times reporter at large Sarah Lyall has pivoted from mocking the Brexit movement and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson to commiserating with U.S. Democrats in mortifying fashion, as they fear a replay of their 2016 Election Night nightmare: “For Democrats, Horror Never Ends – Replaying 2016 in an endless […]
By Hans von Spakovsky ~ Although House Speaker Nancy Pelosi claimed earlier this month that President Donald Trump is “in an altered state right now,” she is the one who appears to be in an “altered state” if she thinks she can use congressional authority under the 25th Amendment to remove the president from office. It seems that […]
By Jay Maxson ~ Another off-the-rails left-winger has landed at Deadspin, the destination for angry, race-baiting sports media types. Mike Freeman joined a staff of bomb throwers that already includes Carron J. Phillips, Rob Parker, Chuck Modiano and others and quickly blamed NFL COVID-19 outbreaks on President Donald Trump. President Trump has been dictating terms to […]
By Clay Waters ~ New York Times national security correspondent David Sanger didn’t mince words in Sunday’s “news analysis”: “Trump Turns Power of State Against Foes, Like an Authoritarian.” (But evidently not “authoritarian” enough to censor Sanger’s crazed criticism?) President Trump’s order to his secretary of state to declassify thousands of Hillary Clinton’s emails, along with […]
By Tim Graham ~ Is Politico a news outlet? Or an opinion website? Last night, their Politico Nightly newsletter by Tim Alberta and Renuka Rayasam carried the headline “A thwarted plot could thwart Trump.” In other words, the thwarted plot to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-Mich.) is the latest un-thwarted media plot to blame Trump […]
By Clay Waters ~ After Friday morning’s news that President Trump and the First Lady had tested positive for COVID-19, The New York Times could hardly suppress an undercurrent of gloating, bolstered by commentary from Democratic activists. Reporter Alexander Burns’ “political memo” made the off-lead story slot on Saturday morning: “Now There’s No Spinning Away […]
By Joseph Vazquez ~ Reuters is pushing an insane idea that eco-extremist activist Greta Thunberg could get the Nobel Peace Prize. In a story headlined, “A Nobel for Thunberg? In the age of climate change and virus, it is possible,” Reuters’ Gwladys Fouche spouted off that “[t]his year’s Nobel Peace Prize could go to green […]
By Tim Graham ~ It must be fall campaign season, because our incredibly tilted Democrat media are rotating through a series of authors ripping into President Trump. Start with the most overpraised journalist in Washington, Bob Woodward, who is almost as old as Joe Biden, but is still trotted out with great fanfare as the […]
By Gabriel Hays ~ It’s a new week so the Hollywood anti-Trump outrage dial is on a different setting for the time being. According to our sources, we’ve strayed a bit from the Woodward book outrage cycle and back to climate change hysteria. It’s almost comforting to be in such familiar territory. With the wildfires […]
By Clay Waters ~ New York Times tech reporter Mike Isaac reported Friday on what sounds like a pretty obvious attempt to limiting Trump’s social media sway: “Facebook To Confront Distortions Before Vote.” But as you’ll see, Isaac’s report had a major unacknowledged problem that wrecked its credibility (emphasis added): Facebook on Thursday moved to […]
By Tim Graham ~ One of the common tropes we see in everyday news coverage is the claim that something President Trump or his supporters say is “without evidence.” This is a stark factual claim. Sometimes, it’s starkly wrong. The hashtag #DefundNPR started trending on September 1 after NPR tweeted this to 8.3 million followers: […]
By Clay Waters ~ The media can no longer deny the continuous rioting in American cities every night by left-wing thugs. With Joe Biden at last weighing in on Monday afternoon, the story has become impossible to avoid, so the press has shamelessly pivoted, acknowledging the violence and portraying President Trump as the instigator. Monday’s […]
By Tim Graham ~ Is there such a thing as Conservatives for Biden? Conservatives for the Green New Deal, Medicare for All, and Defunding the Police? Would liberals not choke at the brain-taxing idea of Liberals for Trump? The Democratic rag known as The Washington Post gushed all over the Biden-endorsing Never Trumpers at the […]
By P.J. Gladnick ~ Something strange seems to be going on with Newsweek. Although few are still aware it even exists and even fewer actually read it, they sometimes publish stories that diverge drastically from its usual liberal orthodoxy. Perhaps they are willing to sometimes commit such heresy simply to draw attention. And in the case […]
By Clay Waters ~ Double standards by The New York Times on product boycotts: The silly anti-Trump boycott of Goya Foods was covered with humorless seriousness, while a 2017 Sean Hannity-inspired boycott of Keurig coffeemakers was mocked as possibly showing “support for child molesters.” The paper sympathized with liberals pitching childish social media fits over […]
By Clay Waters ~ On the front page of Thursday’s New York Times, technology reporter Mike Isaac pushed a just-completed “civil rights” audit of Facebook: “Facebook Lets Hate Flourish, Report Finds.” No one wants “hate” to flourish online. But that headline actually sneakily translates into a complaint that Facebook is not sufficiently censoring Trump and […]
By Tim Graham ~ The July 6 Washington Post carried a typically colorful headline on top of the Style section. “A binder full of bombast: Kayleigh McEnany plays her boss and his base with derisive news briefing walk-offs.” Media reporter Paul Farhi wrote McEnany’s “would-be smackdowns seemed so orchestrated” they only lacked some kind of […]
