Jeff Bezos wrote "Most people believe the media is biased. Anyone who doesn’t see this is paying scant attention to reality, and those who fight reality lose." On Friday, the media fought reality in claiming Donald Trump threatened Liz Cheney with death.

During Friday’s edition of CBS Mornings, White House correspondent Nancy Cordes falsely accused Donald Trump of musing “about executing Liz Cheney” the previous night. Not only did Cordes pervert Trump’s words, she used the misrepresentation to claim that they affirm Kamala Harris’s argument that “he is a wannabe autocrat bent on revenge.”

HBO’s Bill Maher scolded the media on Friday’s edition of Real Time Overtime for their claims that Donald Trump called for former Rep. Liz Cheney to be shot. Maher’s rebuke was not out of any love for Trump, but a demand that the media not “lie to me” because the real context of Trump’s actual remarks was something that “hippies used to say.”

So desperate was CNN to make something stick against former President Trump in the last few days of the election, they spent much of their Friday newscasts peddling the false claims that he threated Liz Cheney with a firing squad. Host Jake Tapper got more than he bargained for on The Lead, when Tennessee Republican Senator Bill Hagerty confronted him over his network’s “distortion”…

Conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt stormed off Friday’s edition of Washington Post Live and resigned his columnist position shortly afterwards after liberal associate editor Jonathan Capehart claimed he didn’t “appreciate being lectured” after Hewitt called out fellow panelist Ruth Marcus’s fake news about Donald Trump. Hewitt gave Capehart his wish, “I won’t come back, Jonathan. I’m…

It is odd that a website that fancies itself as a fact-checking organization would believe that if you repeat a falsehood enough times it eventually becomes true, but that is what PolitiFact is doing with Democrats and transgender sports. In a Thursday article, PolitiFact defended Montana Sen. Jon Tester’s vote that failed to protect the competitive integrity of women’s sports by claiming such…

MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski and NBC’s Seth Meyers joined forces on Thursday’s taping of Late Night to scare viewers into believing that the election is “a matter of life and death” for women.

On Wednesday's CNN This Morning, during a discussion of President Joe Biden's comments that seemed to call Donald Trump's supporters "garbage," CNN senior political analyst Mark Preston argued that the President would be better off to double down on his remarks instead of trying to take them back.

On Thursday, ABC News program The View spent much of their first segment kvetching about the Trump campaign continuing to make President Biden’s candid belief that Trump supporters were “garbage” an issue in the final days of the election. They ultimately blamed former President Trump for what Biden said and decried “white men” and “the blue-collar working man” for “falling for this…

Comedy Central’s weekly host of The Daily Show, Ronny Chieng, reacted on Wednesday to President Joe Biden calling Donald Trump supporters “garbage” by claiming that the White House’s excuse that he really meant “supporter’s” means that the election is now “Nazis versus grammar Nazis.”

Republicans clearly believe that transgender-related liberal culture war nonsense is a winning issue for them, which means that PolitiFact views it as their job to defend Democrats from the true attacks on their record. On Tuesday, PolitiFact was it again, rating Nevada Republican Senate challenger Sam Brown “false” for correctly stating Sen. Jacky Rosen supports allowing men to compete in…

Voto Latino CEO Maria Teresa Kumar journeyed to Comedy Central and The Daily Show on Tuesday to warn any Latino thinking of voting for Trump that their vote will not save them because Trump and his friends simply want to deport brown people.

Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) has appealed to Big Tech companies to prioritize free speech ahead of the 2024 election.

MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace traveled to NBC and Late Night with Seth Meyers on Tuesday to brag about not voting for her boss, John McCain, in 2008 while simultaneously claiming the Trump-era party is so irredeemable that Tuesday’s election “is the first nonpartisan” one her lifetime and that voting for Harris constitutes an “emergency.”
