Washington Post drama critic Peter Marks wrote what sounds like an endorsement, an article headlined "The 2020 Democratic National Convention won with viewers. Now its organizers hope to win an Emmy." Marks gushed the virtual convention was "Widely praised for its seamless pacing, technological mastery and thematic discipline."

Appearing on Tiffany Cross's MSNBC show, former LAPD cop Cheryl Dorsey turned self-styled "social advocate" blames the police for the current crime surge, calling them "butt-hurt" and "cowardly."  Cross and Dorsey float a conspiracy theory that the police are intentionally inflating crime statistics in order to stave off de-funding efforts. 

Over here in NewsBusters, my colleague Tim Graham has taken note of a story at Hot Air on a report on trust in the media. The report is discussed by Rick Edmonds of the Poynter Institute. Tim quotes it thusly: 

Politico has used "Republicans pounced" so much that it must have embarrassed them enough to change gears slightly and switch to "Republicans seized."

Joe Rogan wasn’t always a podcast superstar. The host of The Joe Rogan Experience became a household name thanks to twin TV smashes -- NewsRadio and Fear Factor. That background, plus decades as a touring comic, gave him an insider look at Hollywood. It wasn’t pretty, he recalls. It’s why he essentially left the industry to build his own media empire.

Five years ago on Wednesday, the British people shocked the liberal media and the political establishment by voting to leave the European Union. It wasn’t just outlets like the BBC in Britain that promoted panic over the decision of June 23, 2016. American networks freaked out and predicted doom. They were all wrong.

When Morning Joe opens with a Tonight Show of Biden's weird whispering act, Mika Brzezinski finds a way to  cover from him, literally laughing it off in a loving way. Biden wasn't losing it. It wasn't weird. Not at all! "President Biden was practicing some ASMR, perhaps," said Mika ASMR is an unproven notion that various events, including listening to people whisper, can cause a relaxing…

ABC News continued its tendency to ignore (or almost ignore) the controversy over Vice President Kamala Harris waiting for more than 90 days to visit the border after being handed the border "issue" by President Biden. On Friday night's newscast, David Muir offered a paltry 13 seconds to the story. Blink, and you might miss it. PBS did 58 seconds, while CBS and NBC offered about two minutes.…

On the New York Times front page Thursday, national political correspondent Alexander Burns spun frantically for the Democrats in his news analysis under a “have your cake and eat it too” headline, “Why Choose? Democrats Seek To Fund and Reform the Police.” The text box skipped the desperation and division of the current Democratic Party on crime and police issues and skipped blissfully on to…

The networks touted Biden's alleged bipartisan triumph on an infrastructure deal on Thursday night. But did you see the clips of President Biden breaking out the whispers repeatedly when he talked to the press? Even Stephen Colbert told him he was creepy. He whispered “it’s a little creepy.”

On Thursday's installment of CNN Newsroom, host Jim Sciutto welcomed retired Lt. General and military analyst Mark Hertling onto the program to discuss and defend Joint Chiefs chairman Gen. Mark Milley's defense of Critical Race Theory being taught at West Point.

In the most bizarre and deranged take you’ll hear all day, MSNBC’s ‘All In’ host Chris Hayes accused Republicans of being racist for being willing to work with Democrats on an infrastructure bill. On Thursday night, after Senate Republicans and Democrats met with President Biden on the White House driveway to announce their infrastructure compromise, Hayes used the opening segment of his show…

Kamala Harris’s botched handling of the crisis at the border has been largely downplayed by the media. When it was announced on Wednesday that she would finally visit on Friday, ABC decided to keep hiding her role in the debacle. On Thursday night and Friday morning, World News Tonight and Good Morning America allowed NO coverage of the trip. 

Biggest risk to the United States: Isis? Al Qaeda? Russia? China? Nope. It's—you guessed it—Donald Trump . . . if you believe MSNBC. On Nicolle Wallace's MSNBC show this afternoon, ex-FBI agent-turned-liberal-commentator Clint Watts claimed: "The biggest risk to the country isn’t actually from outside the country. It’s not even necessarily from inside the country, but from the last person that…
