ABC Invites Pelosi to Spread Her Doomsday Fears of Trump’s Leadership

The final question ABC News chief anchor George Stephanopoulos directed to Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) in his softball This Week interview was intended to tee her up to fear-monger about President Trump’s leadership during the coronavirus crisis, and repeat the debunked claim the President called the virus a “hoax.” In stark contrast, Fox News anchor Chris Wallace had grilled her on how she had…

NBC Sports Blog: NFL Star Who Tweeted Trump Risks ‘Very Real Backlash’

Mike Florio at NBC’s Profootballtalk blog doesn’t want to sing Kumbaya, national pandemic crisis or no. And that’s cool. What isn’t cool is his nasty dishonesty in using his blog to go after NFL stars who don’t show enough contempt for Florio’s political enemies.

ABC, NBC Chide Unemployed Protesters as ‘AstroTurf,’ Not The Majority

As media elitists, their jobs were safe and they could easily work from home. But during their Sunday morning newscasts, ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Sunday Today, chided and cast aside the unemployed Americans taking to the streets as state stay-at-home orders left them in financial ruin. ABC even suggested their angry protests could be “AstroTurf” movements designed to embarrass…

WashPost Sports Blisters Trump's Recovery Plan

Washington Post sports columnist Sally Jenkins let fly Saturday morning with a thunderous literary salvo on President Trump over his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Her assault was highly personal and dismissive of the White House's Thursday announcement of a cautious, three-stage recovery plan.

NY Times Often Sends Jeremy Peters to Wage War on Conservative Media

There was absolutely nothing surprising in New York Times reporter Jeremy Peters using Michael Savage to attack Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh. Peters regularly wages war on the conservative media. He even blamed anti-Semitic violence on Fox News and conservative radio.

PBS's Woodruff: 'How Many Lives Were Lost' Because of Trump's 'Delay'?

There's a reason why Donald Trump hasn't granted an interview to PBS since he announced his run for president in 2015. That reason came out in a contentious PBS NewsHour interview on Friday with Vice President Mike Pence. It's nothing like the softness Woodruff has offered Hilllary Clinton. She asked Pence "How many lives do you believe were lost as a result of the delay by this administration…

‘Ellen’ Crew ‘Distressed and Outraged’ at Treatment by Star, Producers

In another example of liberals following their unspoken motto of “Do as I Say, Not as I Do,” members of the crew for The Ellen DeGeneres Show are “distressed and outraged” over poor treatment from the weekday talk show’s star and her top producers.

Zakaria Complains There Was Military Response After 9/11 Attacks

Appearing as a guest on Friday's Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO, CNN host Fareed Zakaria complained that the U.S. invaded Afghanistan after the 9/11 attacks, and engaged in some bizarre history revisionism as he suggested that the only response that was needed was to start locking cockpit doors. Additionally, Zakaria went over the top in lauding President Barack Obama as being similar to Star…

CNN's Bernstein: Trump Tweets Incited Insurrection

It is one thing to claim that President Trump's Friday tweets calling to "liberate" various states were unwise and counterproductive, but according to Carl Bernstein, who joined CNN's Chris Cuomo that night, they were tantamount to inciting insurrection.

Remember When Lady Gaga Joined Biden for MeToo PSA?

Hollywood loves nothing more than teaming with politicians to send a message. Stars spent eight full years coordinating with the Obama administration on everything from volunteerism to the calamitous ObamaCare rollout. That sense of unity disappeared like so many Thanos victims once a Republican entered the White House in 2017.

FLASHBACK: Remember THIS Biden Blunder? The Press Hope You Don't

Journalists in the news media are used to covering for Joe Biden’s gaffes. In the spring of 2020, the networks have been maintaining silence over accusations of sexual abuse against the ex-vice president by a former staffer. But considering that both Biden and China are very much in the news these days, we thought it might be instructive to look back at another Biden Blunder. On August 21, 2011,…
