Double Standards

Once again, the legacy network newscasts come together to suppress a story that would be national news had it involved a Republican candidate for office. The latest instance of selective media outrage involves the suppressed shortcomings of via Maine Democrat Senate candidate Graham Platner.

During a lengthy interview on the most recent broadcast of ABC’s Sunday political affairs show This Week, host Jon Karl tried to press Speaker Mike Johnson on the issue of presidential clemencies. Johnson instead took Karl to school, reminding him about other, more inconvenient recent presidential abuses of the clemency power. 

On Tuesday’s PBS News Hour, hosted retired liberal-leaning Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy and tried to get him to condemn the current right-leaning Supreme Court for being too pro-Trump, while making liberal assumptions regarding Kennedy’s judicial philosophy. Kennedy, who retired in 2018, talked about his new memoir, Life, Law & Liberty.  

After nearly two weeks of completely ignoring the Democratic scandal, ABC News’s The View finally mentioned Virginia Democrat Jay Jones’s text message scandal exposing his fantasies about killing Republicans and their kids, during Thursday’s episode. In her usual ghoulish and insane fashion, co-host Joy Behar attempted to insist that Jones was a Republican and touted that “only…

After weeks ducking the murderous text messages sent by Virginia attorney general candidate Jay Jones, the legacy media appear to have finally found a text scandal they like. The Young Republicans’ text scandal as broken by Politico has given the legacy news the cover it needs.

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. 

Once again, the New York Times is coming to the defense of the ghouls who celebrated the assassination of conservative Turning Point USA leader Charlie Kirk. And again left unmentioned: The left cancelling people’s reputations and getting them fired over far less offensive things during the Covid and BLM-fueled hysteria of 2020, including opinion editors at The Times.

The next election is over a year away, but ABC’s Rachel Scott is already in peak midterm form. A report on the ongoing shutdown is completely Democrat-coded, regurgitating Democrat talking points and placing the onus for ending the shutdown exclusively on Republicans.

Another Sunday has passed, and with it another cycle of omissive bias from the major legacy media political affairs shows. Two major political stories went undiscussed- both the ongoing fallout over the Jay Jones text scandal currently roiling the Virginia gubernatorial election, and the arrest of the Red Mass bomber exactly one week ago.

On NBC’s Meet the Press, moderator/propagandist Kristen Welker got way more than she bargained for when she attempted to ask frequent guest Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) about the indictments of James Comey and Letitia James. She tried to frame these as somehow unprecedented and got absolutely roasted for her efforts. 

The New York Times desperately tried to downplay the left-wing political unrest and violence in Portland, OR, generated by the domestic terrorists of Antifa. First it was the paper’s benighted columnist Nicholas Kristof embarrassing himself on X with a sarcastic video post from “the perilous front lines” of Portland. On Saturday the Times argued the threat of Antifa was a…

Talk about politics making strange bedfellows! Morning Joe hails Marjorie Taylor Greene as a working-class hero and an example to other Republicans for her criticism of the shutdown and other Republican policies. MTG! The Republican that the liberal media has loved to hate! She of the Jewish space lasers! But all is forgiven in return for MTG criticizing her fellow Republicans over the…

The Friday evening cast of PBS News Hour featuring moderator Geoff Bennett, MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart, and New York Times columnist David Brooks briefly broke character to heap praise on President Trump for his role in securing a ceasefire agreement that will see Israeli hostages return home. However, the trio quickly reverted back to form and freaked out that New York…

It is that time again, wherein CBS’s John Dickerson coughs up another pompous editorial from behind the anchor desk on CBS Evening News Plus. This one particularly pompous and lacking self-awareness, but perhaps mindful that there are only so many of these left before Bari Weiss fully takes over as Editor-in-Chief of CBS News.
