Double Standards

In a late-breaking development, Paramount Global and CBS entered into an agreement with President Donald Trump to resolve his ongoing lawsuit against the former Tiffany Network. Trump has originally sought $20 billion, but the agreed-upon terms fall in line with the earlier resolution of his lawsuit against ABC.

The Legacy Media took turns taking potshots at the One Big, Beautiful Bill in their network evening newscasts. This is in stark contrast to how large Biden-era legislation was covered and serves to remind us that if it weren’t for double standards, there’d be none at all.

After gushing over Zohran Mamdani’s win in NYC’s Democratic mayoral primary, Wednesday’s New York Times “On Politics” newsletter wrote about how President Trump’s devastating strike on Iran’s nuclear capability is polling among Americans, under the subhead “A wary public isn’t convinced on Iran strikes." In 2011, they blamed the public for not liking Obama's attack on…

In Friday’s online NPR piece “The story behind the arrest of 87-year-old veteran John Spitzberg at the Capitol,” Alina Hartounian, who edits and writes for NPR.org, made a hero of an elderly activist protesting the recent U.S. military parade, who got arrested. NPR played the feisty old man angle hard to an embarrassing extent. The report began in medias res, the reporter striving to…

The media are trying to collect themselves in the immediate aftermath of Operation Midnight Hammer- the U.S. mission to destroy critical Iranian nuclear facilities at Natanz, Esfahan and Fordow. As we see on CBS’s Face the Nation, some have decided to do the same old thing as always and get wrecked for their efforts.

On Friday’s edition of Amanpour & Co. on PBS, host Christiane Amanpour introduced journalist Hari Sreenivasan’s segment with UC-San Diego professor and self-styled extremism expert Barbara Walter. Despite support for left-wing violence from burning Tesla and Waymo cars by anti-Musk and anti-ICE rioters, despite the anti-Semitic killings and fire-bombings, the focus was almost…

If one were only to watch Friday’s edition of PBS News Hour, they would come away with the impression that “rotten” political rhetoric is mainly a right-wing phenomenon. Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart went so far as to claim Republicans are afraid “of being human” on the matter.

Despite openly refusing to tone down their incendiary rhetoric against President Trump after two attempts to assassinate him, during Thursday’s episode, the liberal ladies of ABC’s The View clutched their pearls for far-left Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) and claimed it was “irresponsible” for Trump to voice any criticism of her because it put her in “danger.”

In an effort to create the illusion of wanton violence against left-wing protesters, ABC World News Tonight anchor David Muir melodramatically oversold a driver incident in Los Angeles. Viewers are gaslit into believing that the driver plowed “through the crowd” despite watching video proving that no such thing happened.

MSNBC’s 11th Hour host, Stephanie Ruhle, kicked off Monday night's show by saying, “So please remember, the truth matters, but only if you hear it, so let's get started covering the truth.” A great quote from the leftist propaganda machine that was MSNBC. The joke wrote itself in this instance, because four minutes later Ruhle and her guests spewed biased rhetoric on President Trump…

As sure as water being wet and the sun rising in the East, one can count on CBS’s John Dickerson to deliver overly pompous hot takes on his “Reporter’s Notebook”, his editorial segment on CBS Evening News Plus. This time, he delivers with phony concern trolling over an apparent Trump reversal on immigration.

Monday’s CBS Mornings had senior foreign correspondent Debora Patta who was live on the scene of the Iranian missile strike in Tel Aviv. Debora pivoted quickly from the carnage in Israel to clutch her pearls about Iran death tolls and how Israel was killing top military commanders and nuclear scientists.

As NewsBusters has documented for years, ABC’s The View has a serious problem with incendiary rhetoric designed to inflame political tensions, incite violence, and generally disregard the lives of conservatives. So, their toxic hypocrisy was fairly potent during Monday’s episode when the cast were demanding the rhetoric be toned down following the assassination of Democratic state…

Leftist professor Maura Finkelstein, conservative professor Amy Wax, and the New York Times’ double standard on academic freedom: In the last two years the paper has run four major articles, two on Finkelstein’s controversy and ultimate firing, and two on Wax’s controversy and ultimate suspension. While these articles contain some nuanced arguments, the headlines and subheads make…
