Meet the New CNN, Same as the Old CNN
September 21st, 2022 7:30 PM
In the aftermath of several Republican governors sending illegal immigrants to Democrat-run cities, CNN host Victor Blackwell demonstrated that his news network is far from reforming itself into being more balanced. A few days after having on Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee and giving the Texas Democrat a forum to trash GOP governors over the issue, the CNN host was more aggressive in dealing…

Networks on Trump: A ‘Dark Speech’ From a ‘Vengeful’ ‘Demagogue’
July 22nd, 2016 12:49 AM
The three networks on Thursday night immediately derided Donald Trump’s “dark speech” as one coming from a “vengeful” “demagogue.” On NBC, Tom Brokaw allowed that “some” will see Trump as on a “white horse who will lead them to some kind of sanctuary and then pull the drawbridge up.” But he sneered, “Others looking in are going to see someone they will only think as a demagogue of some kind.”

MSNBC: If Dems Go After Trump at DNC 'We'll Call Them On It'
July 20th, 2016 5:25 PM
Wednesday afternoon on MSNBC, Craig Melvin made viewers a bold and likely empty promise days ahead of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.

Nets Keep Hammering Melania Trump, Went Easy on Obama ’08 Plagiarism
July 20th, 2016 2:08 PM
It’s been a day and a half since the establishment liberal media sank their jaws into the Melania Trump “plagiarism” story, and they are showing few signs of letting go, with heavy coverage on the broadcast networks’ Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning news shows. Eight years ago, however, when a similar flap threatened then-Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, the broadcast networks…
Blogger: GOP Conventions Feature the ‘Worst In Human Behavior’
June 27th, 2016 9:18 PM
When citing instances of “the worst in human behavior,” reasonable choices include the Holocaust, the Rwandan genocide, and whatever ISIS did today. In a Sunday post, Washington Monthly blogger D. R. Tucker offered an absurdly unreasonable choice: the last ten Republican national conventions. Tucker did comment hopefully that “perhaps this year’s GOP convention will be so sick, so sordid, so sour…

January 27th, 2015 11:25 AM

Politico’s Roger Simon: CPAC Is The ‘Militant Wing’ Of The Repub
March 14th, 2013 4:13 PM
Nothing is more amusing than having a liberal “columnist” comment on the state of the conservative movement. It seems as though Politico’s Roger Simon is one such liberal who feels it is his duty to trash conservatism on a regular basis.
Speaking with MSNBC’s Craig Melvin on March 14, Simon commented that CPAC is “the militant wing of the Republican Party.” Simon, who criticizes…
Media Debate Fail: Obama, the Auto Bailout and China
October 23rd, 2012 9:52 AM
In their third Presidential debate analysis, the Jurassic Press Media last night and thus far this morning have failed utterly in their role as fact checker and record-corrector - at least when it comes to what President Barack Obama had to say.
As but one glaring example, there were the President’s absurd assertions regarding the auto bailout and China.
Talk is Cheap: DNC Funded by Corporations
October 19th, 2012 12:48 PM
While this will almost certainly remain unreported on the broadcast news networks, the Associated Press is reporting that the Democratic National Convention Committee accepted at least $5 million in corporate donations and borrowed another $8 million in order to reach its $36.7 million budgetary goal, according to the financial disclosure reports that were filed with the Federal Election…
CBS Plays Up Politico's Reporting on Apparent 'Turmoil' in Romney Camp
September 17th, 2012 3:48 PM
Like their colleagues on NBC's Today show, Monday's CBS This Morning forwarded a recent Politico report about supposed "turmoil inside the Romney campaign," which was stuffed with unnamed sources. Norah O'Donnell spotlighted "this finger-pointing that's going on...and whether or not they mismanaged the messaging in terms of Romney's big convention speech." John Dickerson hyped that "what's…
NYT's Ashley Parker's Opening Line on Romney Speech: 'Facing Criticism
September 12th, 2012 3:22 PM
New York Times campaign reporter Ashley Parker tried to put Mitt Romney on the back foot from the opening sentence of her article on his speech to the National Guard convention in Reno: "After Criticism of His Convention Speech, Romney Thanks Nation's Armed Forces."
Facing criticism for failing to mention American troops or the Afghan war effort in his convention speech, Mitt Romney spoke…
Once More, NYTimes Dubiously Defends Obama's 'You Didn't Build That' a
September 11th, 2012 1:53 PM
New York Times White House reporter Jackie Calmes filed from Charlotte on Saturday after the Democratic National Convention had passed, "Democrats Face a Juggling Act Over Jobs."
Surprisingly, Obama loyalist Calmes discerned political problems in the president's anti-business rhetoric. More predictably, she defended Obama's anti-entrepreneurship remark "you didn't build that," accusing the…
