CNN Bombs in First Quarter, Fails to Crack Top 20 in Ratings

When the Cable News Network debuted in 1980, it soon earned a reputation as the top source for quick and accurate information 24 hours a day, all week long. That was 40 years ago, and the liberal channel has since fallen so far in the ratings that it was unable to generate even one program in the top 20 list during the first three months of 2020, which has been labeled “a dismal first quarter.”

SB Nation Plays Down Patriots’ Act Of Humanitarianism

The much-hated New England Patriots can't even get a break from the media for using their team plane to bring facemasks from China to America. Jemele Hill, a notorious Trump hater, criticized the team's good deed simply because Patriots owner Bob Kraft is a friend of the president's. SB Nation writer Morgan Moriarty tore into the federal government for not doing what the Patriots did.

Jimmy Fallon Love-Bombs Biden: You're 'So Eloquent,' 'Mind-Blowing'

On Wednesday's Tonight Show, NBC's Jimmy Fallon interviewed Biden and didn't ask a single tough question -- which no one who watches Fallon would expect. He tends to love-bomb whoever is booked. Fallon gushed to Biden that he was "so eloquent and beautifully spoken" at a TIME 100 gala they attended, and when Biden recited poetry on stage, "it was mind-blowing."

Friday Night (Briefing Room) Fights: Trump Spars with Acosta, Jiang

CNN Features Guest 44x for 150 Mins, Barely Notes Past Abortion Job

Throughout the coronavirus pandemic, CNN has shown an inability to shy away from framing the pandemic through the lens of attacking President Trump. Another tic has been their continued refusal to describe frequent guest Dr. Leana Wen as a former president of Planned Parenthood. Since our first post about Wen on March 16, the Media Research Center kept tabs on Wen’s appearances and calculated her…

Samantha Bee Complains: Blocking Abortion Means Having a 'F**king Baby

On Wednesday's Full Frontal show on TBS, liberal comedienne and provocateur Samantha Bee not only fretted over women not being able to getting abortions during the coronavirus pandemic, but she obnoxiously likened going to an abortion clinic to attending a concert, and complained that being blocked from going "forces you to have a f**king baby."

Google Flip-Flops on Ad Policy After Dems Complain It May Help Trump

What steers Google’s policy decisions? Liberal outrage, apparently. Google has made two major changes in its ad policies after massive pushback by liberals and the media. Google and YouTube completely reformed their approach to no longer allow microtargeting with ads in late 2019, something that Facebook continued to allow despite pushback. Liberals considered any allowance of Trump’s…

Friedman Spews Trump Response on Climate Could Be Worse Than on Virus

Insufferable New York Times opinion columnist Thomas Friedman is exploiting the pandemic to spew climate change drivel at President Donald Trump.In an op-ed headlined “With the Coronavirus, It’s Again Trump vs. Mother Nature,” Friedman used a dubious comparison between Trump’s handling of the coronavirus and climate change as evidence he was “enamored with markets but ignorant of Mother Nature.”

Critics Rave Abortion Film Is ‘Heroic,’ ‘Powerful’

Liberal critics are raving about a new film about one of their most cherished issues: abortion -- and they even managed to tie it to the Chinese coronavirus! The PG-13 film revolves around a 17-year-old character named Autumn (Sidney Flanigan) who leaves her home in Pennsylvania, where parental consent for abortion is required, to get an abortion at a Planned Parenthood in New York City.

WashPost Celebrates Sarsour Memoir, Calls It ‘Tribute To Fearlessness'

The Washington Post sure misses irony, well unless their latest fawning book review is a big joke, because they touted the new memoir of anti-semitic activist Linda Sarsour as a fearless work aimed a destroying the “normalization of hate.” Really, Linda Sarsour? The Israel-hating, Hamas-fraternizing defender of Sharia law who was removed from far-left orgs like the Women’s March because she was a…

Calif. Gov Disappoints 'View' by Refusing to Bash Trump on Coronavirus

Members of the media should take note: when even a Democrat politician from one of the most liberal states in the country won’t take your bait to bash the president, maybe you should just throw in the towel now. On The View today, California’s Governor Gavin Newsom called in to discuss how his state is responding to COVID-19. Of course the anti-Trump hosts attempted to get the liberal Democrat to…
