It’s Week Five of MRC’s newest video series, CensorTrack with TR. This week, we talked about how Big Tech firms often shut down any conversation that doesn’t fit their agenda.

Monday’s evening newscasts were a demonstration of which broadcast networks could follow the Biden administration’s orders the best after Press Secretary Jen Psaki scolding the White House press pool for accurately calling the rollout of COVID booster shots “confusing.” ABC’s World News Tonight and CBS Evening News were good teacher’s pets and omitted the reality from their…

The New York Times has finally discovered that Australia has become a focus of criticism for its heavy-handed, futile fight to eliminate Covid: “Fight Against Covid Rewrites Australia’s Idea of Freedom – Half the country is locked down, but most are willing to sacrifice in pursuit of a freedom from fear.” Yet Sydney bureau chief Damien Cave skipped many of the horrific deals emanating…

Tuesday’s New York Times lead story by Apoorva Mandavilli on Pfizer pushing to get its coronavirus vaccine approved for children was filled with the reporter’s typical coronavirus scaremongering. This time, it was about the dangers it posed to children: “Pfizer Says Shot Safely Benefits Children 5 to 11 – Seeking F.D.A. Approval – Urgency as Cases Rise in Young – Trial Review May Take…

The New York Times’ Sheryl Gay Stolberg made a rare appearance in the Arts section in Thursday’s edition with a worshipful profile of liberalism's current reigning icon of science and reason, Dr. Anthony Fauci, upon the release of a hagiographic documentary, Fauci. Under the cringeworthy social media headline, “Dr. Fauci, Movie Star,” Stolberg hit the typical “brilliant but…

Thursday’s White House press briefing was a barnburner about the border crisis as, at one end, Fox News’s Peter Doocy pushed a perturbed Press Secretary Jen Psaki for answers on Team Biden’s erroneous math about Haitian illegal immigrants, their lax Covid policies, and how women are being allowed to stay as long as they claim they’re pregnant (which led Psaki to imply Doocy was a sexist).

CNN’s favorite bow-tie wearing doctor Peter Hotez is the kind of medical professional CNN likes; the kind who insert politics into everything and jumps at the chance to attack Republicans. Wednesday on CNN Newsroom, Dr. Hotez switched from pediatrician to full on progressive activist, actually demanding the government step in to stop right-wing media and news outlets.

Decades hence, historians laboring to make sense of the Covid years will undoubtedly ask why it took 18 months to deploy our most powerful weapon against the virus -- the open celebrity letter. How many lives would have been saved if, in the early weeks of the pandemic, authorities had tapped the intellect of Anne Hathaway or the insights of Peter Dinklage?

Twitter makes it easy to realize that the purpose of “fact-checkers” is most commonly rushing to defend Joe Biden from misinterpretation...and mockery. On September 20, Twitter warned “A video of President Biden discussing hurricane preparedness has been edited out of context, according to fact-checkers.”

On Monday's Morning Joe show on MSNBC, contributor Kurt Bardella delivered his latest gratuitous trash talk against Republicans, accusing them of labeling minorities as "dirt" and "the enemy." The frequent guest offered no examples of these provocative claims.

It was a tale of two approaches during Monday’s White House press briefing as Fox’s Peter Doocy and select reporters (including even CNN’s Jeremy Diamond) chose to challenge Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Afghanistan, illegal immigration, travel bans, and U.S.–France relations while CNN analyst April Ryan led another group in standing up for Haitian illegal immigrants and spreading fake news…

“Forget inflation.” CNN continued to pave over the economic ineptitude and failed policies of the Biden administration in its reporting. Instead, it pushed the apparent worries of billionaire David Rubenstein with regard to “American democracy.”

In the past week, MSNBC host Brian Williams continued being a fanboy of the disgraced anti-Republican Lincoln Project as he gave free airtime to two of the group's latest ads attacking conservatives.

As NBC political director Chuck Todd trotted out his mostly liberal panel for Sunday’s Meet the Press, the mood was dreary as they all had to cope with and explain President Biden’s incompetency on multiple ongoing crises, with him on yet another vacation. Some tried to prop up the White House by either touting the mood or by suggesting misinformation was to blame. But the lone…
