Double Standards

It take gall to go after a North Korean defector, and on the front page of the New York Times, no less. The paper’s staff writer Charles Homans’ odd choice of target appeared in the Friday edition under the rather tasteless headline, “Yeonmi Park, a North Korean Dissident, Defects to the American Right.” Although the Times has in the past been notably soft…

Back there in the ancient age of November, 1986, my younger self, then a Reagan White House Associate Political Director, was in the Oval Office with Political Office colleagues and President Reagan. 

A look back at four of the biggest Supreme Court cases of the past 25 years shows when liberals win a big victory, the media joyfully celebrate the “historic” final word. But when conservatives win a case, journalists fulminate about a discredited Court and lecture that the ruling has forever damaged the Court’s credibility and legitimacy.

On June 15, Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) accused CNN’s Kailtan Collins of referring to Judge Aileen Cannon as “Trump-appointed” in order to instill doubt in the Trump documents case and questioned whether she would do the same if the judge was appointed by Barack Obama. Collins defended herself by saying “We talk about who judges were appointed by all the time.” Now, less than one week later we…

ABC’s Good Morning America was up in arms Wednesday morning over Republicans calling out what they understand was a two-tier justice system, one where President Biden’s son continued to benefit from the family name by getting a cushy plea deal on tax crimes and a felony gun charge. Chief White House Correspondent Mary Bruce whined Republicans didn’t care how “painful” this was for…

If you were watching TV news back at the height of the email saga, you were lectured repeatedly about why nobody actually cared about Clinton’s emails, and why you shouldn’t either. Throughout it all, these journalists and their colleagues could barely contain their indignation that Clinton even was under investigation.

In a grade-A example of CNN not caring about its credibility as a news organization during Monday’s Inside Politics, the network trotted on disgraced former deputy director of the FBI turn CNN analyst, Andrew McCabe, who was fired for leaking to the press lying to investigators about it. He was tapped to defend two-time failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton for keeping…

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) carried out a eyebrow-raising demolition of CNN for its hypocrisy of cheering on the Justice Department’s indictment of President Trump while also employing serial liars and Deep State mainstays James Clapper and Andrew McCabe. McCarthy was being questioned by CNN congressional reporter Lauren Fox when he said the “real concern” of House Republicans and…

Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) entered the lion’s den of Monday’s CBS Mornings to promote Tuesday’s release of his latest book, but that was barely covered as, naturally, much of the nearly 10-minute segment focused on trying to have Rubio side with the Biden Justice Department in its indictment of former President Trump following years of asking him to return dozens of classified…

When George W. Bush was running for president in 2000, he spoke to the NAACP’s 91st annual convention where he coined the phrase “the soft bigotry of low expectations.” By that he meant the attitude held by some that if one is Black, it automatically means they should not be expected to achieve much in life because so many start off in circumstances that are difficult, if not impossible, to…

Hours before he suddenly resigned as one of former President Trump’s attorneys in the classified documents case (which Trump said Thursday he was being indicted in), Jim Trusty made the rounds on TV Friday morning to defend Trump and, on ABC’s Good Morning America, left co-host and former Clinton official George Stephanopoulos in a hilarious pit of rage for bringing up the Biden…

Morning Joe's segment on the anniversary of the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy never mentions his assassin, the Palestinian Sirhan B. Sirhan, or that Sirhan's motive was RFK's support for Israel, or that Sirhan was an ardent supporter of Communism.

Daily Beast executive editor Katie Baker took to her supposedly serious journalistic outfit Sunday with a Mean Girls hit piece on Florida First Lady Casey DeSantis that borders on infantile in its imbecilic language and proof that, if the person at the top feels this way, it’s a farce for the liberal media to view them as a sober purveyors of real journalism.

On Thursday afternoon, President Biden took a might tumble when he fell nearly flat on his face at the U.S. Air Force Academy. Such a fall drew eyeballs and defenses from the “big three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC with the conservative drinking game words of capitalizing, pouncing and seizing on it. Over on the liberal cable networks CNN and MSNBC, both (largely) saw no reason to be concerned and…
