Yellow Journalism: CNN Spouts Off on 'Pee Tapes' 77 Times in Five Days
April 16th, 2018 7:02 PM
As James Comey’s book exploded onto the scene, CNN pumped the breaks on its “Facts First” campaign to revisit perhaps the most salacious claim contained in the Steele dossier. Specifically, the dossier alleged that Donald Trump had paid ladies of the night to micturate upon one another in Moscow, and that the Russian government had taped the horrific escapade. To date, no aspect of these…

FLASHBACK: Before They Loved Comey, the Liberal Media Trashed Him
April 12th, 2018 8:40 AM
The hype for James Comey’s book tour (set to launch on ABC Sunday evening an hour-long George Stephanopoulos special) began last November 2 when CBS’s Gayle King teased it during an interview with the former FBI director. And while liberal journalists are clearly hoping for Comey to dish dirt on President Trump, there was a time when they hammered him as a partisan hack whose investigation into…

The Liberal Media’s Brazen Double-Standard on Sex Scandals
March 26th, 2018 2:08 PM
The news media’s obviously insatiable appetite for scandal news surrounding Republican President Donald Trump is sharply at odds with their aversion to covering such stories about Democratic President Bill Clinton two decades ago.

Parkland Anti-Gun Activists Overwhelm Gun Rights Advocates by 11 to 1
March 22nd, 2018 2:26 PM
Saturday’s “March for Our Lives” represents the culmination of more than a month of the liberal media’s seemingly endless parade of soundbites and interviews featuring the strident and, at times, vicious anti-gun statements from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School students, teachers, parents and their allies in the Democratic Party. Looking just at the airtime of soundbites in these stories and…
CBS Continues Its Blackout of Hillary’s Mumbai Mess
March 19th, 2018 2:05 PM
It’s been nine days since Hillary Clinton, on a visit to India, disparaged the voters who elected Donald Trump as President in 2016. This weekend, some Democrats openly broke with Clinton over the comments, while the ex-candidate herself felt the need to engage in a bit of backpedaling in a Facebook message posted Saturday afternoon. Given the blowback, you’d imagine that the broadcast networks…

March 12th, 2018 3:11 PM
Put simply, CNN has a porn problem.

CNN took it to another level on Saturday, devoting roughly 41 minutes to her Friday performance at a Florida strip club.
Category Five Stormy: CNN Primetime Spends 149 Mins Ogling Porn Star
March 8th, 2018 4:49 PM
At the Jeffrey Zucker-led CNN, they can be trusted to go all-out whenever they find a news story that they deem worth obsessing over. Whether it was the missing Malaysian plane or Sam Nunberg, CNN has proven itself incapable of covering more than one topic at a time. On Wednesday, CNN’s primetime programming showed that with over 149 minutes pushing the Trump scandal involving porn star Stormy…

Hate for School Shooter Enabling GOP, Love for N.Korea’s ‘Princess’
February 21st, 2018 8:00 AM
In the past month liberal journalists have blamed “domestic terrorist” enabling Republicans for the Parkland, Florida school shooting tragedy, depicted Donald Trump as an “ethnic cleansing” “dictator” and decried Fox News as a “racist outfit” that is a “noxious stain on American society.” On the other hand, the media fell in love with North Korea’s “first sister” of Kim Jong-un as they…
