Double Standards

The liberal ladies of ABC News’s The View had a field day the week of July 14 as they tried to divide Republicans with the Jeffrey Epstein documents snafu. Smelling blood in the water, they kicked off nearly every episode that week talking about Epstein. Meanwhile, at the same time, they cut out a chunk of time to decry liberals who dared to criticize the Democratic Party’s messaging…

A hostile interview on CNN’s State of the Union with the Trump Administration’s Border Czar, Tom Homan, ended with host Dana Bash getting roasted for the obvious double standard of coverage in comparison to facilities during the border overrun that occurred during the Biden presidency. Reasonable individuals may conclude, as did Homan, that things were (D)ifferent back then.

Former MSNBC host Tiffany Cross delivered an unhinged rant on CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip, also known as “Thunderdome” around these parts, wherein she compared ICE detention facilities to concentration camps. To be more precise, she was ALLOWED to deliver her rant with no pushback whatsoever. 

On MSNBC's The Weekend, co-host Eugene Daniels wonders what slave-owning Founding Fathers would think of two African-Americans--Jonathan Capehart and himself--hosting the show. The panel condemns Trump for saying he hates the Democrats, ignoring the torrent of invective that Democrats daily direct at Trump. The panel decries the decline in patriotism in younger generations, ignoring…

The legacy media have had a brutal past couple of weeks, and it shows. But with the newly-inaugurated Florida immigration detention center officially known as Alligator Alcatraz now fully operational, the legacies have resorted to pettiness, refusing to address the facility by name.

Former CNN anchor Jim Acosta’s Substack podcast motto is “Don't give into the lies. Don't give into fear. Hold on to the truth. And hope.” During a Tuesday interview with former Clinton strategist James Carville, Acosta was neither truthful nor hopeful, but he was very much afraid as he declared, “This is scary shit,” as he suggested President Trump may tamper with the 2026 midterm results,…

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.”
