The contentious Hearing before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs forced the Elitist Media Evening News to devote something more than a brief to the ongoing swirl of scandal surrounding the former head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Dr. Anthony Fauci. And in so doing, they reverted to an all-too-familiar playbook: Republicans Pounce. 

Before Dr. Anthony Fauci pleaded the Fifth Amendment at a Senate hearing after the release of his diaries from the pandemic, Wednesday’s Morning Joe gave a preview of the hearing where 8 AM host Jonathan Lemire defended Fauci and called much of it “taken out of context.”

When it comes to political comedy or satire, the left only tolerates it from their side. As soon as someone makes a joke they don’t like, they bring out the cancel culture mob. This phenomenon is easily observable when the leftist media tries to cover President Donald Trump, which is what Ali Velshi did on Monday’s episode of The 11th Hour on MS NOW when he and Vox correspondent Zack Beauchamp…

Wednesday’s CBS Mornings spent seven minutes and 18 seconds previewing the Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing by defending Dr. Tony Fauci on everything from closing schools to gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China, to Fauci dwelling on his stardom in 2020. All the while, accountability or admission of even a modicum of mistakes from the pandemic were nowhere to be found.

On Friday's The 11th Hour show, MS NOW host Ali Velshi devoted a segment to comparing the Donald Trump administration, declaring that the President is trying to make ICE accountable only to him.

Somewhere, James Carville is smiling. The Ragin' Cajun would surely approve of Dem strategist Antjuan Seawright's attempt on today's CNN This Morning to distract from the Fauci scandal and the hearing regarding it that Rand Paul is heading today. Seawright twice claimed that people should forget about Fauci and focus instead on . . . screwworms. 

With the Federal Communications Commission just weeks away from possibly stripping The View of their status as a purported “bona fide news program,” and the fight over the license renewal of ABC-owned affiliates just heating up, the left was still trying to muster their defenses. However, the coalitions of liberal former FCC officials and far-left activist groups coming out of the woodwork on…

MS NOW Reports host Antonia Hylton brought on The Bulwark’s senior national correspondent Jonathan Cohn on Wednesday to help her make sense of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s appearance before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. In a frustrating display of someone trying to have it both ways, Cohn admitted that there are legitimate questions that could be asked of Fauci but…

The Poynter Institute’s latest event for its supporters is a “salon” in Kansas City in October where they will honor former NBC host Chuck Todd with the “2026 Poynter Make a Mark Leadership Award, recognizing his decades-long impact on political journalism and his role as one of the country’s leading independent voices covering politics, democracy and public affairs.”

CNN’s coverage of Fauci’s diary omits mention of prominent journalist Jake Tapper, despite his frequent appearance in the diary and involvement with Fauci. CNN reporters whitewashed Tapper’s role, raising questions about journalistic integrity and editorial decisions regarding their own colleagues.

Since Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) released on Saturday nearly 2,000 pages of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s diaries that delivered one bombshell after another about how he handled the coronavirus pandemic, ABC and NBC had yet to say a word on the leading morning or evening shows. However, that changed Wednesday morning with stories explaining away his behavior ahead of what became an explosive Senate…

When Fox News Digital wanted a hot take on the media's cover-up of the Fauci diaries, they sought out Media Research Center President David Bozell. Bozell did not disappoint. They liked it so much, they shared it across their social media platforms.

Christiane Amanpour, the eponymous host of PBS’s Amanpour & Company, welcomed author and activist Bill McKibben to Tuesday’s show to partake in the latest doom-and-gloom prognostications on the environment. According to McKibben, climate change is mostly former President Ronald Reagan’s fault and any additional blame should be directed at President Trump for engaging in “economic-self…

Season 29 of ABC’s The View came ended last week amid an ongoing battle with the Federal Communications Commission over their purported status as a “bona fide news program,” which called into question their bias, their content, and their adherence to the so-called equal time rule for political candidates. Compared to a previous long-term study of The View’s guests, a new NewsBusters study…
