Top U.S. Spanish-language television networks Univision and Telemundo virtually buried the Republican convention speeches by the parents of victims of violent crimes committed by people who are living in the country illegally, devoting less than a minute to the subject.

CNN's Fareed Zakaria ripped Donald Trump with an uncensored expletive on Monday's Wolf program over the billionaire's recent remarks about Russia: "Every time it is demonstrated that Donald Trump is plainly ignorant about some basic public policy issue....he comes back with the certain bravado and tries to explain it away....This is the mode of a bullshit artist." Zakaria also likened Trump's…

On Tuesday's CNN Newsroom, host Carol Costello repeatedly attempted to get Charles Woods, father of U.S. Navy S.E.A.L. Tyrone Woods, who died in Benghazi, to ask Trump to “apologize” for his comments to the Khans. Instead of taking the bait, Woods turned the tables and called on someone else to apologize instead: "When Hillary Clinton on several occasions has called the Benghazi victims' families…

Acting like an innocent bystander with no control over NBC’s reporting, on Tuesday, Today co-host Savannah Guthrie declared that the media focus on Donald Trump’s controversies made it impossible for journalists to also cover the scandals swirling around Hillary Clinton: “I mean, this story [of the Khan parents] has now been kept alive for four days...By the way, pushing off some otherwise…

Hillary Clinton made a rare appearance on Fox News Sunday in a sit down interview with host Chris Wallace. When asked about the truthfulness of her statements to the public, regarding how she handled classified E-Mails, she asserted that FBI Direct James Comey vindicated her, when in fact he proved the opposite. And CBS was the only network in the “big three” to call her out on it in their…

Kevin Drum has been blogging for a long time, so it’s not surprising that he’s got a flair for clickbait. You have to admit that the Monday headline “Hillary Clinton Is One of America’s Most Honest Politicians” is quite an attention-grabber. Of course, whether or not it’s true is another matter. Drum commented, “All politicians lie sometimes. That includes Hillary Clinton. But...Hillary is one of…

The Media Research Center’s Brent Bozell appeared on Fox News’s Your World to slam the media double standard in how reporters covered one grieving family who spoke out, but not another. Bozell highlighted an analysis by the MRC which found that Khizr Khan, who denounced Donald Trump at the Democratic convention, received 50 times more coverage than Pat Smith, a mother who condemned Hillary…

On Monday's CNN Newsroom, Patricia Smith hammered the media over their clear double standard between the often-negative way they treated her anti-Hillary Clinton speech at the Republican National Convention versus their hyping of Khizr Khan's anti-Donald Trump speech at the Democratic National Convention: "I was treated like dirt. I don't think the Khan family was treated that way. But I was…

Two weeks ago at the Republican National Convention (RNC) a grieving mother blasted Hillary Clinton for the debacle of the 2012 Benghazi attack. Last Thursday, at the Democratic National Convention (DNC), grieving parents gave a speech criticizing Donald Trump for his statements against Muslims. While all the grieving parents deserve sympathy, the Big Three (ABC, CBS, NBC) network evening and…

The media’s love for the Kennedy family displayed itself in a new way on Monday. Rosemarie Terenzio, a producer on the new documentary I Am JFK Jr., appeared to tell Robin Roberts that her Good Morning America co-host George Stephanopoulos “inspired” John F. Kennedy Jr. Terenzio, who was a personal assistant to the younger Kennedy, insisted, “George Stephanopoulos was sort of the for the kernel…

All three morning shows on Monday made sure to highlight Hillary Clinton’s latest attacks on Donald Trump, but only CBS This Morning bothered to note the Democrat’s falsehood about the FBI’s investigation into her e-mails. While talking to Fox’s Chris Wallace, Clinton rebuffed assertions that the FBI called her dishonest: “That's not what I heard director Comey say. Director Comey said that my…

En marcado contraste con su cobertura de la última noche de la Convención Nacional Republicana de 2016, las principales cadenas de televisión en español de la nación se caracterizaron por el tono de celebración abrumador con que informaron sobre la última noche de la Convención Nacional Demócrata.

Media Research Center President Brent Bozell warned conservatives to watch out for biased moderators in the upcoming presidential debates between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Appearing on Fox Business’s Varney and Company, Bozell wondered, “Who is going to moderate these debates and how good are the Republicans going to be this time around?”
