Double Standards

The latest PBS American Masters documentary profiled the face of COVID in America, Dr. Anthony Fauci, who was director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for decades and came into attention during the AIDS crisis, and especially during COVID. The tone is of a tireless St. Fauci bringing hard truths down the mountain to ungrateful conservatives. Yet left-wing…

The miserable millionaires of ABC’s The View spent part of their Friday show lecturing average Americans about how “greedy” they were and how they live lives of “excess.” According to the cast, Americans needed to “get rid of possessions” and pay more in taxes so they could live happy lives like the people in Finland or like meditating monks who have been to prison.

Following an explosive exchange between Today News Africa’s Simon Ateba and White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Monday, the cast of ABC’s The View had their knives out Tuesday for the reporter as they took turns taking swipes in defense of a friend of the show. But in a series of tweets in near real-time, Ateba shot back and called them out for allegedly spreading big…

On her MSNBC show, Katie Phang, and MSNBC legal analysts Glenn Kirschner and Charles Coleman all opine that Donald Trump's message calling on supporters to "protest, take back the nation" could result in additional criminal charges against him. They ignore that as a senator, Kamala Harris gave a speech entitled, "Taking Back Our Country." She used the phrase at least six times. 

Never let the facts get in the way of the narrative. That was the lesson of Friday’s edition of “Joy’s Banned Book Club” on ABC’s The View. This edition featured Harper Lee’s classic To Kill a Mocking Bird, a book that has been removed from required reading lists by liberal school districts because of its use of racial slurs and a “white savior.” But that didn’t bar it from…

Last week, The View played host to far-left extremist Jane Fonda and laughed at her purported “joke” about murdering pro-lifers as the final solution to protect abortion. But on Tuesday, ABC's cackling coven found their limit on jokes as they had a collective meltdown over former Vice President Mike Pence (R) telling a maternity leave joke about Transpiration Secretary Pete Buttigieg…

On Morning Joe, discussing revelations that Fox News people said critical things in private about Trump, but something very different on the air, Washington Post columnist David Ignatius says: "You have a sense that, like the Republican politicians you and I were talking about, Fox is chasing what it imagines its viewers, the public on the right, want to hear. And that's just…

With the Biden border crisis still raging out of control, President Biden was reportedly mulling over bringing back yet another Trump-era border policy: detaining family units. News of this policy percolating in the White House on Tuesday had ABC’s Good Morning America running defense trying to massage the message and assure the public it was “just one option that is on the table” and…

This week, the liberal news networks said absolutely nothing about billionaire Warren Buffett’s barely-veiled slam of President Biden and other liberals for their newest class warfare gambit: demonizing corporations that buy back their stock. That’s a far cry from 2011 and 2012, when those same networks helped juice then-President Obama’s re-election campaign by trumpeting Buffett’s call for…

A New York Times front-page expose Sunday tore the lid off the scandal of underage migrant workers being used as illegal child labor: “Alone and Exploited, Migrant Children Work Brutal Jobs Across the U.S..” The online headline deck: “Arriving in record numbers, they’re ending up in dangerous jobs that violate child labor laws -- including in factories that make products for well-…

Fox News Channel's Howard Kurtz used the opening monologue of his Sunday media analysis show MediaBuzz to call out the media's double standard and selective outrage in how they deal with controversial comments from conservatives and leftists. When a conservative says something controversial, Kurtz noted that "everyone goes nuts." Yet when a leftist does the same "hardly anyone blinks…

CNN's Poppy Harlow gushes "I love that" over a report that Jimmy Carter invited Rosalynn to attend cabinet meetings. But the liberal media was aghast over news Donald Trump permitted Melania into the Situation Room on one occasion.

Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) made his second stop on the gauntlet of CBS shows on Monday’s CBS Mornings after a stop on Sunday’s Face the Nation (and ahead of Monday’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert) promoting his book It’s Okay to Be Angry About Capitalism. While Face the Nation’s Margaret Brennan pressed Sanders on his latest act of…

NPR’s Tamara Keith fired the latest salvo in the media’s attempt to imply Democrats have higher moral standards than Republicans. Keith used the embarrassing story of newly elected Republican Rep. George Santos and his myriad lies to make a version of that argument – that GOP shamelessness rules the American political landscape, on Wednesday’s Morning Edition.
