Eric Boehm at Reason caused some trouble at The Washington Post for pointing out they had stealth-edited a July 23, 2019 profile (published on the front of the July 24 Style section) to remove an “incredibly cringeworthy” passage about how campaigns were like prisons – which is insensitive to incarcerated Americans.

It is a reflection of the vulgarity and even the criminality now stalking our society that social media, as it is called, cannot extricate itself from this awful question of censorship. Facebook, Twitter and all the other social media platforms that are passing judgment on what Americans say today are in the pickle that they are in because the First Amendment freedoms are extended to…

Is it ethical for one network to try to scare off a competitor's sponsors? The question arises because on MSNBC's Morning Joe today, Joe Scarborough sought to scare off Fox News sponsors.

On her MSNBC show Friday morning, loyal Democratic Party propagandist Stephanie Ruhle engaged in wild alarmism as she demanded that Congress approve trillions in new spending or risk the nation “bleeding to death.” That was how she tried sell President Biden’s proposed $1.9 trillion COVID relief package that included a wish list of left-wing agenda items like imposing a $15 minimum wage.

The liberal View hosts were on message for Friday’s show, namely that “Trump lied, people died.” Parroting CNN’s lies, the hosts claimed the Trump admin left Biden’s administration with “no plan” to distribute the vaccine and had cost countless American lives.

On Sunday, Jan. 17, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris sat down with Jane Pauley of CBS News "Sunday Morning." Pauley treated Harris to a full-on journalistic massage. At no point was Harris asked a tough question; at no point was Harris treated as anything other than an idol worthy of worship. Perhaps the most awkward manifestation of this sycophancy came when Harris -- an extraordinarily and…

To tell you how out of touch CBS journalists are, they eagerly promoted leftist actor Sacha Baron Cohen’s role as a violent communist agitator without the slightest hint of controversy. This is just weeks after a violent riot at the Capitol. Talk about tone deaf.

The New York Times coverage of President Biden’s Inauguration Day appeared under a banner headline in Thursday’s edition: “‘Democracy Has Prevailed’: Biden Vows to Mend Nation.” Lisa Lerer’s long front-page profile of Biden, “A President Forged by Setbacks as Much as by His Success,” turned his negatives into positives. David Sanger’s “news analysis” headline gushed: “A Call for the Return of…

On Tuesday, MSNBC Live host Stephanie Ruhle conceded that if President Trump had an in-person Inauguration during the pandemic, the media would pounce. In a rare moment of media self-awareness, Ruhle told never-Trumper Steve Schmidt, "It will be a smaller inauguration ceremony, but they’re still having one in person and, let’s be honest, you know if President Trump did this, he would be…

Of all the tonal shifts you'll see from the liberal media now that Joe Biden is president, the abrupt change from "everything is awful" to "everything is awesome" will be most stark on CNN. That could be seen on Thursday as Anderson Cooper and his guests raved over Biden's COVID plan. It's "factual," "very honest, "very evidence-based." 

The exuberance began even before Joe Biden was officially sworn-in. The night before the Inauguration, CNN’s David Chalian claimed the light staging along the Lincoln Memorial’s reflecting pool was like “Joe Biden’s arms embracing America.” Biden’s arrival at Andrews Air Force Base literally gave a New York Times editor “chills.”

CNN published a story with the provocative headline “Biden inheriting nonexistent coronavirus vaccine distribution plan and must start 'from scratch,' sources say.” Nonexistent? If the Trump administration had a “nonexistent” vaccine strategy, how was the vaccine distributed across the country? This is self-evidently false.

During the same Thursday briefing in which he nuked a CNN story about the Biden administration’s coronavirus vaccine distribution efforts, White House chief medical adviser Dr. Tony Fauci and members of the far-left White House press corps shared a laugh as they commiserated about having scrapped by in 2020 as the Trump administration made their lives miserable.

CNN was caught in an awkward situation Thursday after they first touted anonymous sources within the Biden administration as having told them they planned to rebuild COVID vaccine distribution “from scratch.” But shortly thereafter, Dr. Anthony Fauci blew up their story. Apparently, CNN’s reporting was so ridiculous that even PrimeTime host Chris “Fredo” Cuomo says he doesn’t “buy” what his…
