Corporate Liberalism

PBS News Hour did an extended segment on the crisis currently roiling the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) over its grotesque edit of President Trump’s speech at The Ellipse on January 6th, 2021. This could have been an opportunity for reflection on what ails the media in this environment, and on the dangers of having Trump Derangement Syndrome infect editorial choices. Instead, we got…

After much controversy over the doctoring of a portion of President Donald Trump’s remarks at The Ellipse on January 6th, 2021, it has been announced today that both the Director General and News CEO of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) have resigned. 

For the past 37 days, the Acela Media have done everything in their power to frame the ongoing government shutdown as a Republican shutdown. But, despite their best efforts, some cracks are beginning to form giving way to a glimmer of truth.

Election Night on the soon-to-be-former MSNBC was about as you’d expect: equal parts liberal brain rot and, on a night where the left made significant gains, a twinge of smug insufferability. Here are a few select moments from their coverage.

After five years, President Donald Trump returned to CBS's 60 Minutes for an extensive sit-down interview with Norah O'Donnell. While nowhere near as wild as his previous appearance, the interview was significant and newsworthy. Here are some of the most notable moments:

Another weekend rolled through, with the elitist media doing their level best to actively avoid covering the biggest political scandal since Watergate: the weaponization of the federal government against Republicans and conservatives known as Operation Arctic Frost. Instead, the Sunday shows ran their clocks out with a mix of off-year election previews and shutdown apologia.

As political scandals go, Arctic Frost makes Watergate look like relative child’s play. During the Biden Administration, the FBI may have investigated Republican elected officials and conservative organizations- doing so, in many cases, with invasive and secret subpoenas. The breadth and scope of this scandal is staggering. And yet, the legacy broadcast news continues to suppress this story,…

In a lengthy rant decrying the ruination of CNN among other things, MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell made the time to take gratuitous swipes at CNN Senior Political Commentator Scott Jennings. The rant, aside from being weird and gratuitous, was unwarranted.

Among the evening newscasts, only PBS covered the House Oversight Committee’s explosive report on its investigation of the Biden administration’s use of the autopen in furtherance of concealing the president’s ongoing cognitive decline. Neither ABC, CBS, nor NBC bothered to cover this explosive story.

With The Great East Wing Calamity Cycle apparently behind us (zero seconds on ABC, CBS, NBC’s 10/27 nightly newscasts), one would think that the legacy networks would move off of their Democrat-coded shutdown coverage and relay increasing pressure in favor of the clean Continuing Resolution languishing before the Senate. Alas, this was not the case.

It is not often that legacy media national newscasts devote precious A-block time to what amounts to an ongoing renovation with zoning board issues. But in an endless Trump Resistance media loop, the construction of the new White House ballroom is a unique affront to the nation’s institutional integrity- and draws such coverage.

At CNN’s NewsNight with Abby Phillip, more colloquially known as the Thunderdome, we are often reminded that if it weren’t for double standards there would be none at all. So it is, now, with comparisons to terrorists made at the hallowed Table. 

It’s that time again, wherein ABC’s resident Clinton fixer-slash-”journalist” tries to dunk on someone within the Trump administration only to get absolutely cooked in the process. This week on This Week it’s Vice President JD Vance, laying waste to Stephanopoulos over his insistence on pushing a narrative regarding Border Czar Tom Homan at the expense of other news.

You know that a public statement from a Democrat elected official is bad when the media steps in and tries to firefight potential public backlash. Such is the case with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who gets five-alarm firefighting from NBC after saying that “every day gets worse for us.”
