Holt Frets WH ‘Failed to Recognize the Depth of Resistance’ to Vaccine
NBC Nightly News anchor Lester “fairness is overrated” Holt reminded viewers on Monday of how his self-described moniker was well-earned as he repeatedly sucked up to Biden Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy about bringing back coronavirus restrictions and absolve the administration of blame for failing to achieve its vaccination goals.
NewsBusters Podcast: NPR Slams Ben Shapiro's 'Outrage Model' of Media
In the latest NewsBusters Podcast, we explore NPR posting a story on Monday headlined "Outrage As A Business Model: How Ben Shapiro Is Using Facebook To Build An Empire." We can start with the bizarre idea that "outrage as a business model" is a conservative-media thing. As if CNN and MSNBC don't peddle outrage at Trump and the Republicans pretty much 24/7.
Go Figure: 'Morning Joe' Hosts Blame Facebook for Vaccine Failures
On Friday, desperate to deflect blame from his administration's failure to increase vaccination rates across the country, President Biden recklessly accused Facebook of “killing people” due to the spread of misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines on various social media platforms. On Monday, MSNBC's Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski rushed to agree with the President's attempted…
Corrupt Nets Spare Scant Seconds for Texas’s SUPER SPREADER Covid Dems
Conservatives and Republicans say this a lot, but can you imagine if the situation was reversed? Five Democrats who abandoned their state to try and stop Texas from passing a voting rights bill have now tested positive for Covid. The story, from Saturday to Monday, has amounted to a scant 35 seconds on the ABC morning and evening newscasts, 20 seconds for NBC and a meager12 seconds on CBS.
CNN Says CNN+ Will Not Be Liberal, 'We're Not an Opinion Network'
CNN announced with great fanfare they're creating a "CNN Plus" streaming subscription service, but an executive bizarrely claimed “No, it’s not going to be ideological....We’re just not in that game. We’re not an opinion network, we’re a news network."
NBC Campaigns for Florida Teen Running for School Board on CRT
On Monday, NBC’s 3rd Hour Today show openly campaigned for a left-wing Florida teenager running for a seat on the Broward County School Board and making radical Critical Race Theory one of his top issues. The glowing profile piece, which amounted to an in-kind political donation, dismissed “conservative” concerns about CRT and touted the high school student’s long-term goal of being…
Admitting It: CBS Cheers 1619 Project, Idea That Journalism = Activism
CBS This Morning Saturday embraced the idea that, of course, journalism is activism and we should all just get used to it. Co-host Michelle Miller on July 17 cheered Nikole Hannah Jones, the author of the historically corrupt 1619 Project as the modern day Ida B. Wells, a woman who heroically battled the KKK as she exposed the horrors of lynching.
Morning Joe Suppresses Kamala Hospital Visit, Slurs Walmart Shoppers
Morning Joe's opening segment today consisted of one, long complaint about the unvaccinated hordes that are going to make us all have to mask up again. Mika Brzezinski condescended to the Americans of Walmart, saying they would be "fighting over whether or not they have to wear their masks." Mika can't imagine a mask squabble among the hoi polloi at Saks Fifth Avenue.
WOW! CNN Admits Dems Won’t Press Cuba Because Many Support Socialism
Every so often the media has brief moments of honesty worth noting. On Sunday’s Inside Politics on CNN, the liberal panel of journalists worried about the far-left’s control on the Democrat party “damaging” the Biden administration, with one panelist even noting that many Democrats supported Cuba’s socialist regime.
Author Takes Down Brian Stelter: 'You're Full of Sanctimony'
Four years ago, author Michael Wolff came on Brian Stelter's Reliable Sources show and told him off. On Sunday, Stelter brought it back up: "You called me ridiculous." Stelter implied Wolff gained access to the Trump White House by bashing CNN. So Wolff unloaded on him again: "you are full of sanctimony....you are why one of the reasons people can't stand the media."
Cynical NY Times Whines GOP ‘Ready to Pounce’ on Biden Migrant Policy
The New York Times front page on Saturday reported that “Biden Is Facing New Pressures Over Migrants.” But the Times painted the Biden-encouraged rush to America’s southern border, where the number of apprehensions have hit record levels, as less an actual crisis and more of a worrisome political issue for Democrats, with the threat of Republicans (yes) “seizing” on it and…
NY Times In Texas-Sized Freakout: 'Can Texas Turn Further Right?'
A front-page New York Times story Saturday by Reid Epstein managed to pack in 18 hostile ideological labels into an 1,800-word story on a sadly familiar theme at the paper -- how far Texas is hurdling to “the right" politically under GOP control -- in “Can Texas Turn Further Right? Top 2 Republicans Say It Can.” The paper is running versions of this same story every week now, leading…
Dana Trash: CNN Asks Surgeon General If Fox News Is 'Killing People'
CNN State of the Union host Dana Bash lived up to her last name on Sunday morning, bashing Fox News (and Newsmax) as a lethal threat. Playing off President Biden's rant that Facebook is "killing people" with COVID misinformation, Bash asked Surgeon General Vivek Murthy if "conservative media like Fox News" are killing people. "Trash first," not facts first.
