PolitiFact has a partisan tendency to come running to Biden's defense, and  liberal tendency to "fact check" arguments about Democrats backing abortion in the third trimester. This happened again on Wednesday to Derrick Van Orden, a Republican congressional candidate in Wisconsin's 3rd congressional district who narrowly lost in 2020. PolitiFact cries "Mostly False" over a tweet that says Joe…

On Tuesday, NBC Nightly News surprised some by taking up the border crisis (though they continued to avoid that term) and warning that unprecedented levels of Fentanyl and other drugs were making their way across the border. But come Wednesday, the network flipped on a dime and took to scoffing at Republican efforts in Texas to curb the smuggling of the deadly substance along with ending…

New York City’s Democratic primary was an absolute debacle as, yet again, the board of election somehow included over 130,000 “sample test” ballots in their preliminary update. Seemingly because this embarrassment happened in their own backyard and to their party, the Wednesday evening newscasts of ABC, CBS, and NBC really didn’t want anything to do with the story. Instead, they chose to hype…

Somehow, ABC, CBS, and NBC are collectively bored by the vote-counting failures in New York City, where they mistakenly included 135,000 test ballots in their vote counting. ABC, however, can get excited about the saccharine-sweet cover story on Jill Biden in Vogue magazine.

Two days after he faced shameless gaslighting from White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki over which party supports defunding the police, Fox News’s Peter Doocy was back at it during Wednesday’s briefing and pressed Psaki on her false claims that the GOP (and not Democrats) have defunded the police.

Would carrying a gun make you feel safer? Robert Nash and Brandon Koch thought so. But the state of New York denied them gun permits, saying they hadn't demonstrated a “special need.” Why did they have to prove such a “need”? The Supreme Court ruled more than 10 years ago that all Americans have a right to keep and bear arms, no matter where they live.

This week, heretofore nearly anonymous hammer thrower Gwen Berry made international headlines when, during the podium ceremony for winning bronze in an Olympic trial, she turned away from the United States flag as the national anthem played. The anthem wasn’t played for her, or for the other competitors in the hammer throw; every day during the trials, a pre-scheduled anthem went out over the…

Former two-time Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld died on Wednesday at the age of 88. Given his role in the Iraq War, both in its conception and in how it was fought, it was inevitable that media reaction would be at least somewhat critical. On his MSNBC show, Ayman Mohyeldin, however, went much further, blaming him and the U.S. for the misery that exists in Iraq and Afghanistan.

On Wednesday's New Day, CNN analyst John Avlon calls the Board of Elections in NYC, the nation's biggest city, is "corrupt" and "incompetent."  Avlon's allegation of BOE corruption isn't the mere speculation of an outsider: He used to work for the BOE, and the voter advisory committee! Substitute host Erica Hill obviously sensed the danger for Democrats, insisting to Avlon it's "uniquely" a…

CNN Newsroom host Alisyn Camerota brought on media reporter Brian Stelter on Tuesday to discuss former President Obama saying the raise of misinformation "worries me," spurring Stelter and Camerota to lament the lack of solutions of information echo chambers and sensationalist media coverage...as if CNN isn't part of the problem. 

The networks this spring and summer blasted states like Georgia for election security laws, deriding them as racist power grabs. But when the deeply liberal and Democratic state of New York suffered a massive debacle on Tuesday, the networks were virtually silent. ABC’s Good Morning America on Wednesday offered ZERO coverage to New York City’s mayoral race descending into chaos

An embarrassingly fulsome tribute to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer movement on Tuesday extended the New York Times’ outsized attention to a minority group that defines itself based on sexuality: “They Came to Slay: L.G.B.T.Q. Trailblazers,” interviews with five “L.G.B.T.Q. people of color.” L.G.B.T.Q. advocacy has long infiltrated the paper’s cultural sections and has also…

So much of what people call “news” isn’t hard facts. There’s a less favorable word for it: Publicity. When Democrats rule, news meets a dam, and publicity overflows. On June 29, ABC’s Good Morning America aired several minutes of this, swooning over Jill Biden, promoting a preposterously positive cover story in the August issue of Vogue magazine.

On Tuesday, we saw yet another example of the buddy-buddy relationship between the liberal media and those they want to help work to elect. A day after Virginia’s Politifact published a takedown of a misleading ad from former Democratic Governor Terry McAuliffe’s campaign against Republican Glenn Youngkin, the outlet retracted it Tuesday under the auspices of “a substantial omission.”
