CNN's Brinkley Likens Trump to American Nazi Party Founder
On Friday's CNN Tonight, Don Lemon presided over a panel whose members bashed President Donald Trump over his handling of the George Floyd-inspired protests.

WRONG: History Channel Tags Slave-Holding Confederates as Red States
The History Channel in late May produced a mostly laudable documentary series on Ulysses S. Grant, rightly hailing the legacy of the victorious Union general and president. However, the series contained what’s become a recurring problem in some historical reflections on the Civil War. Throughout the three part series, the production repeatedly showed the slave-holding confederates as red…
CNN Misleadingly Suggests Most Killed by Police Are Black
On Tuesday's New Day on CNN, the liberal news network's flagship morning show served as a microcosm of one of the big problems with how the media covers police-involved violence, exaggerating it into more of a racial issue than it actually is. The three-hour show highlighted three cases in which suspects died during arrests under circumstances similar to George Floyd's death.

Harwood: It Doesn't Matter If Trump Backs Reform, He's Still Divisive
As President Trump headed to Texas on Thursday to meet with evangelical and law enforcement leaders, CNN's John Harwood argued that even if Trump embraces some sort of police reform, it would not matter because, "but we already know where the president's heart is and his heart is in continued racial division rather than unity."
Blitzer Interviews Fauci for 17 Mins on Virus, But Nothing on Protests
For someone with a long, legendary career in journalism, CNN’s Situation Room host Wolf Blitzer has been no better in the Trump era than fellow Zuckerville citizens Jim Acosta, Chris Cuomo or Don Lemon, offering partisan takes, snarky chyrons, and, omitting key facts or sides to a story. We saw that final point on Friday when he spent 17 minutes and 12 seconds interview the NIH’s Dr. Tony…
Telemundo Helps Push Kamala for VP
It looks like Telemundo has made up its mind about who should be the Democratic vice presidential candidate: Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA). Just this week, the network granted her close to nine minutes of editorial time with an exclusive interview that has so far appeared on two news programs, six different online links on Telemundo.com, plus another big online push from sister network…
Gutfeld, Watters Torch A&E for Caving to the Mob, Canceling ‘Live PD’
The Five took its bite of the apple Thursday following Wednesday’s news that A&E would cancel the hit show Live PD on account of the fact that, in America 2020, the only acceptable assumption of police is they’re enemies of the people (unless proven otherwise). In this case, co-host Greg Gutfeld rallied to Live PD’s side despite the fact that he competed against them on Saturday nights…
Mitchell: Are White People ‘Capable’ of ‘Grieving' a Black Child?
During an interview with journalism professor Connie Schultz, wife of Democratic Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown, MSNBC anchor Andrea Mitchell horrendously wondered if “white people” were “capable” of “grieving for the loss of a black child.” Schultz argued more people were examining the state of race relations due to the “racist administration” of President Trump.
'View' Hosts Giggle As Spike Lee Downplays Racism From 'Uncle Joe'
Filmmaker Spike Lee appeared on The View this week for another media appearance where he mocked black Trump supporters and downplayed “Uncle Joe”’s racist comment about black voters.

MSNBC: Radical Seattle Mob Rule ‘Like a Pedestrian Street Festival'
On Friday, MSNBC defended the takeover of a Seattle neighborhood by radical protesters and claimed the area was “like a pedestrian street festival.” Missing from the coverage was any mention of the extreme views of the demonstrators or the fact that the city’s police chief warned of the department’s inability to respond to “rapes, robberies, and other violent acts” in the area.
CBS Touts ‘Art Display,’ ‘Street Fair' Atmosphere of ‘Autonomous Zone'
Rather than focus on the radical and dangerous nature of protesters taking over and occupying a section of Seattle, CBS This Morning on Friday instead highlighted the “street fair-like atmosphere,” including “art displays and “outdoor movies.”
GMA Interviews Seattle Police Chief, Ignores Her Blaming Dem Officials
ABC’s interview with Seattle police chief Carmen Best Friday morning seemed to purposefully exclude the police chief’s comments blasting city officials in the Democrat-led city of Seattle, for forcing police to leave and allow activists to set up their own experiment in anarchy. Instead of playing those comments, co-anchor Amy Robach invited the police chief to attack President Trump, instead…
