As the governments of the U.K., Canada and France announce their intent to recognize a Palestinian state, I recall the words of C.S. Lewis, so aptly quoted by President Ronald Reagan in his famous “evil empire” speech: “The greatest evil is not done now ... in those sordid ‘dens of crime’ that Dickens loved to paint. It is ... not even done in concentration camps and labor camps. In those we…

Closing out another week of Democratic guests, outgoing The Late Show host Stephen Colbert welcomed California Sen. Alex Padilla to CBS on Thursday to hope that he is successful in giving legal status to illegal immigrants because President Trump’s immigration policy is defined by its purposeful “brutality and cruelty.”

POLL: What Was the Worst Media Take of the Week?

On Monday, NPR climate correspondent Rebecca Hersher wrote an article further explaining her Morning Edition interview about the Trump administration's proposal to cut funding to the Orbiting Carbon Observatory. This incredibly expensive satellite program, designed to monitor climate change through carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, was touted as an essential part of the American…

The entertainment press found it very important to report that Hollywood thinks Trump is an authoritarian. This is still somehow considered “news.” Over 2,300 members of the Writers Guild felt compelled to speak out in an open letter because they believe in their “role in a healthy democracy.”

When it comes to NPR, Washington Post media reporter Scott Nover is a publicist, not a journalist. His interview with "bright-eyed" NPR CEO Katherine Maher was (to borrow from MASH) "bathed in the glow of utter servility." Maher claimed NPR is not "partisan," and has no "affinity for one party" over the other. How stupid do they think we are? 

The liberal media cannot help but cry over the law being upheld as Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrest and deport illegal immigrants across the country. On Thursday, MSNBC’s Morning Joe had a meltdown over the immigration detention center, Alligator Alcatraz, being “inhumane” for illegal immigrants. 

What did she think was going to happen? On Thursday’s CBS Mornings, South Africa-based senior foreign correspondent and raging anti-Israel partisan Debora Patta tried to embarrass U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee over America’s steadfast support for Israel (and lack thereof for “Palestine,” aka Hamas). In the portion shown, it started poorly for Patta from the get-go as she first…

A CNN This Morning segment hypes fears of the effect of Trump tariffs on back to school supplies. Host Audie Cornish suggests that people will be using buy now, pay later plans to pay for "pencils and crayons." Julie Margetta Morgan, president of the self-described "progressive" think tank, the Century Foundation, says that people should "be really worried" about that.

In 2021, the media were instantly lovestruck when Texas Democrats fled the state in order block an election integrity bill from passing. Today, many of those same Democrats are hunkered down in Chicago, in a vain attempt to prevent their state from being redistricted, and once again, the corporate media have rushed to their defense.

Last week, I examined the reaction to and the consequences of a possible indictment of former President Barack Obama over “Obamagate,” the false claim that “the intelligence community” concluded a) Russians interfered in the 2016 election (which is not in dispute), b) they did so to help elect candidate Donald Trump, and c) Trump “colluded” with the Russians to get elected.

Former Clinton strategist James Carville does a podcast with former Clinton cheerleading journalist Al Hunt, and on their Wednesday recording of Politicon's Politics War Room, they reacted to the redistricting battle currently going on in Texas. While Hunt claimed Republicans are “fighting dirty,” Carville gave the game away and claimed that in order “to save democracy,” Democrats…

It is becoming harder and harder for the media to ignore the Russiagate scandal. And that difficulty in journalism avoidance just became much more difficult with the announcement that Attorney General Pam Bondi has ordered a grand jury probe. NBC News used unnamed "former officials" to claim there's no evidence. Are the "former officials" Democrats? It's a very relevant question. 

Before politics overwhelmed the word, the primary meaning of "liberal" was "generous." President Donald Trump and the Republican Congress have given political liberals a chance to take that meaning back — by opening their wallets to show just how much they value NPR, PBS and other programs defunded by the GOP. There’s no shortage of cash on the left: Laurene Powell Jobs, the mega-rich backer…
