Networks Yawn At Pastor Admitting to Whole Foods Cake Hoax; CNN Covers
ABC, CBS, and NBC's morning and evening newscasts punted on covering an openly-homosexual pastor dropping his lawsuit against Whole Foods on Monday, after accusing the grocery chain of including the word "fag" on a cake he ordered from a location in Austin, Texas in April 2016. Jordan Brown disclosed that "the company did nothing wrong" in a statement, and apologized to the "LGBT community for…
At AP, Good Economic News Gets Promoted, Bad News Gets Buried
In mid-April, as I noted in a NewsBusters post, the Associated Press, apparently desperate to find any kind of good economic news that might offset the impact of an awful national industrial production report from the Federal Reserve, cited a positive manufacturing survey from just one state to claim that "goods production in the U.S. could be stabilizing."
Lo and behold, yesterday that same one…
Writer Blasts Conservative ‘Bulls**t’ Regarding Facebook, IRS Scandals
If Facebook discriminated against conservative-friendly news items, mused Brian Beutler in a Friday article, it almost certainly had good reason to do so, given the abundance of nonsense that right-wingers unleash on the Web.
“The differences between mainstream and liberal political content on the one hand, and conservative content on the other, [are] critical,” wrote Beutler. “Facebook…
Cobertura favorable a las "ciudades-santuario" domina en Telemundo
Se puede apostar con bastante seguridad a que en las noticias difundidas por Telemundo, la cadena hermana en español de NBC, no se verá mucho del lado de quienes favorecen la aplicación de la ley. Ese fue el caso esta semana, cuando una vez más la cadena pasó por alto los argumentos de quienes se oponen a las ciudades santuario mientras las autoridades de San Francisco debatían precisamente esa…

Leyes de identificación de votantes en la mirilla de Univisión
Latino
El sesgo de Univisión contra la aplicación de la ley, evidente en la forma que cubre las noticias, no se limita a ir contra el cumplimiento de las leyes de inmigración de Estados Unidos. También se extiende contra las leyes de identificación de votantes, que están dirigidas precisamente a proteger del fraude electoral y a salvaguardar la integridad del proceso electoral estadounidense.

Tapper, FactCheck Skewer Hillary's 'Absolutely Permitted' Server Claim
Consider this one small step in what should be a long series of such exposures of dishonest political posturing with media acquiescence by leftist politicians.
A week ago Sunday, John Dickerson, CBS News's brazenly biased Face the Nation host, who has among other things contended that Hillary Clinton’s email scandal is "a stupid issue," allowed the Democratic presidential frontrunner to go to…
NYT Fronts Old Trump Tales, But Clinton Rape Charge Was 'Toxic Waste'
The New York Times made a big splash Sunday with an over-the-fold front-page story, “Crossing the Line: Trump’s Private Conduct With Women.” Five Times reporters talked to female former Trump executives, his ex-wife Ivana, and various models and beauty pageant contestants told unflattering stories about Trump, many of them 20 years old. The Times teased: “Interviews reveal unwelcome advances, a…

Network Sunday Talk Shows Refuse to Cover Facebook Censoring Scandal
On the first Sunday morning political talk shows since the Facebook trending topics scandal broke, the major network Sunday shows and CNN's State of the Union (with NBC's Meet the Press preempted for a Barclay's Premiere League game) failed to cover or debate this reported suppression of conservative stories by the social media behemoth.
John Stossel Returns to TV, Skewers Liberal Pro-Regulation Bias
John Stossel returned to the air on Fox Business on Friday night after treatment for lung cancer. He told People magazine he doesn't feel like he deserves special attention: "People have been very nice, saying they have been praying for me. I feel a little embarrassed, because I don't feel I had a life-threatening diagnosis. I caught something early, they took it out."
Stossel gave an interview…

Latino
The anti-law enforcement bias prevalent in the way Univision covers the news isn’t limited to bias against enforcement of U.S. immigration law. It also extends to include bias against voter ID laws across the country - laws that are designed to protect against voter fraud and safeguard the integrity of the American electoral process.
NYT Covers for Brazil's Lefty Prez, Fears Shift to Right, Male Cabinet
The New York Times is worried about a shift to the right in Latin America and put its concern on the front page. Simon Romero reported from Brazil about the suspension from office of leftist president Dilma Rousseff during her impeachment trial. But instead of focusing on allegations of budgetary flimflamming by her administration, Romero tried to scare readers with the new, more conservative…
Press Virtually Ignores Wendy's Plan to Install Self-Serve Kiosks
The establishment press has given an open mic to proponents of raising the minimum wage nationally, and has cheered $15-per-hour legislation passed in California and New York earlier this year as "historic."
The silence from those same quarters, e.g., the Associated Press, the New York Times and others, is deafening now that one of the predictions of those who have criticized such sharp…

NBC Skips as ABC, CBS Trumpet Facebook Pushback on Censorship Scandal
On Friday morning, NBC’s Today completely ignored a statement published late Thursday night by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg denying claims that his site has censored conservative news stories and promoted some topics as trending even though they weren’t.

Esquire’s Charles Pierce: Media ‘Numbed By’ Reagan’s 'Non-Facts'
A lot of big-time journalists believe they speak truth to power, but according to Esquire’s Charles Pierce, the attitude of the elite media toward presidents and certain presidential nominees is pretty much the opposite: “giddiness in the face of power.” Because of that longstanding state of affairs, suggested Pierce in a Tuesday post, “a fully armed and operational bullshit station” better known…
