CNN Treats Biden to Another Clownish Pep Rally Littered With Softballs
On Thursday night, CNN collaborated with the White House for the third town hall of Joe Biden’s presidency and fourth in 13 months and, as has been the case with the previous installments (which you can read about here, here, and here), Thursday’s 89-minute state-run media operation featured questions that were either sapless, unimaginative, or watered down to ensure they came across as…
Nets Disregard AG Garland Grilled in Hearing for Targeting Parents
Earlier this month, Attorney General Merrick Garland and the Biden administration used federal actions in an attempt to chill the exercise of free speech by concerned parents protesting their school boards after they were equated to domestic terrorists by the National School Boards Association.

MSNBC Gets Upset At Being Told To Actually Read Anti-CRT Law
MTP Daily host Chuck Todd and NBC News correspondent Antonia Hylton continued MSNBC's obsession with Texas' anti-Critical Race Theory law on Thursday and did not appreciate it when author of the law, State Sen. Bryan Hughes, told them to focus on the text of the bill, not how it is portrayed.
ABC Whines to Jill Biden: No More ‘Free’ College in Dem Spending Binge
During a largely softball interview with Jill Biden on Thursday, ABC’s Good Morning America co-host Robin Roberts complained about “free” community college being dropped from the still-massive spending binge being pushed by Democrats in Congress.

Kooky Tom Friedman: Cruz, Hawley Seek to 'Burn Down the Country'
On Wednesday night's Anderson Cooper 360, the host lamented the state of America, as Trump Republicans keep challenging the 2020 election results. Then New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman asked "how the hell" could Democrats be losing "when we have a big plan, and all they have is a Big Lie?" Then he turned on Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley as nihilists.
PBS Goes There, Dares to Report on Biden's Collapse: 'Lowest Approval'
The collapse of the Biden administration is demonstrated in poll after poll, but the networks are still trying to pretend everything is okay. Just this week, ABC, CBS and NBC ignored polling showing the Democrat at 40 percent in one poll and 37 percent in a another survey by Grinnell College/Selzer & Co. Yet, the PBS NewsHour went there on Tuesday night, daring to report on the…
Editor's Pick: Wash Times on CNN's 'Invitation Only' Biden Town Hall
On Thursday, The Washington Times reported that President Biden and CNN were under fire for the media outlet's decision to allow an upcoming town hall event with the President to be "invitation only."

Scarborough: On Voting Rights, GOP Like Wallace 'In Schoolhouse Door'
Joe Scarborough has a bad habit of riding verbal hobbyhorses into the ground. As we've often documented, as here and here, once Joe gets what he thinks is a catchy phrase into his noggin, he repeats it—ad nauseum. This morning, Scarborough's hobby horse o' the day was "schoolhouse door," with an explicit reference to George Wallace, who infamously blocked desegregation in such manner.…
Andrea Mitchell Hails David Hogg for 'Really Effective Protests'
On Wednesday, in the wake of Parkland mass shooter Nikolas Cruz pleading guilty in court, MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell brought on Parkland gun-control activist David Hogg and praised him for increasing public support for more gun control.

On Massive Spending Bill, CNN Hits Bernie Sanders Ally From the Left!
It's not easy to get to the left of Bernie Sanders, but CNN managed on Wednesday morning to pull off that dubious feat. On New Day, co-host Brianna Keilar interviewed Dem Rep. Ro Khanna, who was a co-chair of Sanders's 2020 presidential campaign. The topic was the apparent paring down of the Democrat $3.5 trillion spending bill. Keilar consistently hit the compromises from the left.…
NewsBusters Podcast: Biden's Aerobic Avoidance of Interviewers
Politico reported President Biden has granted just 10 interviews in his first nine months as president, none since Labor Day. At this point, Trump had done 57, and Obama 131. Despite Biden's dramatic interview avoidance, the media haven't found democracy dying in darkness, even with only three interviews with print outlets. The Washington Post happily accepts being shut out of a…
CNN Scolds Manchin on Climate, Urges He Back Massive Spending
On Tuesday's The Lead with Jake Tapper on CNN, the show ran a report whining that West Virginia residents are hurt by climate change, but that, in spite of this, are opposed to enacting radical, draconian government environmental regulations.

Panicked Ruhle Urges Dem to 'Hash it Out' with Radical Left
