Double Standards

The media silence is deafening. There has been much media ado about a jet plane that has been gifted from the government of Qatar to President Donald Trump. The President, he the Commander in Chief, quickly made clear that while he would use it as a previously scheduled new Air Force One is being readied, the plane would eventually be passed on to the U.S. Department of Defense.

I go solo in this episode of the NewsBusters Podcast to call out the liberal media’s hypocrisy in condemning the 59 refugees from South Africa (because they’re white), while at the same time get hyped about possibly using and abusing Pope Leo XIV as a cudgel against the political right in America. I also examine “comedian” John Oliver’s ignorance of the meaning of religious freedom and Stephen…

There’s seemingly nothing that President Trump could do that would get the approval of the eternal haters on ABC’s The View, even when it was the exact same thing their side of the political isle was trying to do. During their Tuesday show, the liberal ladies were up in arms and raging at Trump for wanting to lower the cost of prescription drugs in America, and were not dissuaded even…

ABC News finally found a group of people they didn’t want to let into America: white farmers fleeing from South Africa. That much was clear during Tuesday’s Good morning America when they decried the Trump administration for allowing farmers allegedly being targeted by the South African government to be allowed into the U.S. with refugee status. Interestingly, it was the black…

The PBS News Hour ended Tuesday evening’s show to a discussion of the “chilling effect” of Trump’s executive actions on free speech on campus, based on the pro-Hamas agitators occupying campus quads and sometimes vandalizing campus buildings and attacking Jewish students, a segment slanted heavily toward the pro-Palestinian side. No surprise there, given that a June 2024 Media…

CBS News’s 60 Minutes continued to play with fire amid their rumored lawsuit settlement negotiations with President Trump. During their Sunday episode, purported journalist Scott Pelley lionized lawyer Marc Elias’s work against Trump and Republicans nationwide. He’s the same Democratic Party hustler who sourced the Russia Collusion Hoax and tried to steal a House election in Iowa…

Ya can’t make it up. Unless, of course, you’re the New York Times Editorial Board.

The left-right double standard at CBS News was nakedly apparent during Monday’s CBS Mornings as January 6-obsessed correspondent Scott MacFarlane was stoking fear of President Trump’s public criticism of liberal judges, suggesting that someone could be killed. Meanwhile, CBS had been stoking hatred of the conservative justices on U.S. Supreme Court, seemingly uncaring about their…

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel is a big basketball fan, so to put Thursday’s show in basketball terms, he went up for a dunk attempt on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth only to slip, fall, and faceplant.

Thursday was apparently a slow day for the liberal ladies of ABC’s The View since they occupied their first segment by hyperventilating about people who expected former First Lady Michelle Obama to show the office of the president respect and attend President Trump’s second inauguration. The View cast were eager to blame it on sexism and suggested women uniquely had to deal…

Tuesday evening’s PBS News Hour, guest hosted by reporter William Brangham, opened with a full nine-minute segment on the “mistaken” deportation of El Salvadoran illegal immigrant (misleadingly named “Maryland man” by the press) Kilmar Abrego Garcia by reporter Laura Barron-Lopez. Yet that same news outlet -- including in the mix PBS News Weekend -- has spent 0 seconds (the…

Over the weekend, Pennsylvania Democratic Governor Josh Shapiro was the target of a possible politically motived arson attack at the Governor’s mansion by a man with a history of mental illness and animosity towards both parties. But minutes after the news broke on Monday, disgraced former CNN host Don Lemon took to his podcast to blame President Trump, MAGA, and Republicans in general for the…

Neil Young once stormed the country to sing the First Amendment’s praises.

Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart and New York Times columnist David Brooks assembled for their weekly airing of grievances on Friday night’s PBS News Hour as they discussed the news that the Trump Administration has reached deals with five top law firms to provide $600 million in pro bono work. Capehart ignored vital details of the deals to claim Trump was…
