This week marked a rare occasion in which President Biden remained at the White House all five weekdays and thus allowed for five press briefings from the ever-inept press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre (and John Kirby only serving as a crutch on Friday). The questions were, not surprisingly, all over the place given the lunacy of the week, ranging from accusing Jews of genocide to harassment…

CNN host and self-appointed guardian of truth Jim Acosta welcomed sports reporter Rachel Nichols to Friday’s CNN Newsroom for a factually-challenged segment about Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker’s commencement address to Benedictine College, where he declared that female graduates may get more satisfaction from their family lives than their careers. For Acosta, it was…

On May 14, Kansas City Chiefs placekicker Harrison Butker gave the commencement address at Benedictine College, a Catholic school in Kansas. Within 48 hours, the media elites were ablaze with outrage. There’s a “growing uproar,” warned NBC’s Hoda Kotb.

On Thursday, ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Today seethed with disgust at Christians and anyone who values being a parent over their careers (or any other accomplishment or trait) in light of the Benedictine College commencement address by Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker, which they deemed “controversial” and worthy of “backlash” and “growing outrage” for…

CNN aired a special documentary entitled The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper: The Battle Over Transgender Athletes on Sunday that purported to be a nuanced look at the issue of transgenderism’s relationship with women’s sports. However, the program clearly had a preferred side, as it claimed there’s no evidence that men who think they are women have an athletic advantage despite…

In his Mother's Day remembrance, Joe Scarborough manages to work in claims that in high school, he was a mult-sport star. In baseball, an "All-Star with an high average," and in basketball, "scored 30, 35 points" per game.

The CBS Evening News has now entered into the national discussion over the disparity in pay between the NBA and the WNBA, bringing advocacy to the discussion of whether female athletes are automatically entitled to the same compensation as their male counterparts while ignoring market dynamics. 

MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell closed out her Tuesday show by deciding to pick a fight with math. Reacting to Monday’s WNBA draft, Mitchell called “sexism” on the fact that number one overall pick Caitlin Clark will have a roughly $76,000 rookie salary while her male counterpart makes slightly north of $12 million.

On CNN This Morning, Dana Bash and Kasie Hunt praise GOP strategist Lance Trover for being "evolved" after he says that after reading a profile of LSU women's basketball coach Kim Mulkey which talks about her pugnacious approach, he wondered if a male coach would have been given the same treatment. 

In the course of discussing pushback from some conservatives complaining about Taylor Swift showing up during NFL broadcasts, and the prospect that Swift, who endorsed Biden in 2020, might do so again in 2024, Joe Scarborough mocks Trump followers who pretend to be "manly." This despite the fact that Scarborough has often boasted of his own supposed toughness.

By now, you’re likely aware that last month the hatemongers at Deadspin, particularly senior writer Carron J. Phillips, took aim at a nine-year-old Native American boy with accusations of racism, blackface, and cultural appropriation. But over the weekend, NewsNation reported that the boy’s family retained council and had formally demanded a retraction and apology from Deadspin and Phillips,…

In a bizarre throwaway report, the kind that is used as a timestuffer towards the end of a newscast, NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt goes through the trouble of mentioning the arrest of a suspect in the gruesome death of an American hockey player, but has a most difficult time identifying the suspect.

Tax-funded PBS continues to push transgender issues: Amanpour & Co. on PBS featured Olympic runner Caster Semenya talking about her new book. Semenya, who competes as female, was born with male XY chromosomes (females are XX) and the testosterone levels of a male. “She” has no uterus or fallopian tubes, and does not menstruate. Her condition is popularly described as “intersex.”…
