Double Standards

On Thursday, the liberal media celebrated Russia’s release of WNBA player Brittney Griner as a triumph for President Joe Biden. But back in 2018, the same journalists were desperate to find a negative framing when the Trump administration negotiated the release of three American hostages from North Korea.

On Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski asks, "can he speak to the issues? Does he have a grasp on the issues? Would he be able to perform the job as senator?" Mika was speaking of Republican Herschel Walker, candidate for Senate from Georgia. But the same questions could just as easily have applied to John Fetterman, the stroke-impaired Democrat from Pennsylvania. Except the liberal media never asked…

On Monday’s edition of ABC’s The View, normally meek and self-described “Republican” Alyssa Farah Griffin called out her fellow cast members for being hostile to her during a segment about “toxic femininity,” snapping back at faux “Republican” Ana Navarro for interrupting with a snide comment. That was until she walked it back a short time later with praise for co-host Whoopi Goldberg…

Don Lemon hosts a segment on CNN This Morning to discuss LeBron James' complaint that Kyrie Irving has been subjected to intense criticism over his promotion of an antisemitic book and movie, whereas there has been relatively little attention paid to a photo that recently came into circulation showing a 14-year-old Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys, in a crowd blocking black children…

Writing Sunday for our friends at National Review, senior writer Charles C.W. Cooke provided another scalding evisceration of the liberal media that have become modern-day Stasi agents meting out punishment for undesirable opinions and “zealous obscurantists staffing would-be censorship agencies” and thus having moved beyond previous self-centered descriptors as “firefighters,” “mediators,”…

Last week, another evil mass shooter unleashed horror at a gay club in Colorado Springs, killing 5 and wounding another 25. The shooter -- whose name I refuse to mention in order to disincentivize future shooters, who seek notoriety -- was clearly mentally ill: Just last year, the shooter reportedly threatened his mother with a bomb, resulting in his arrest.

People on both sides of the political aisle have expressed concerns about President Biden’s mental acuity, but the New York Times says no worries, “Age is more than a number.” Reporter Sheryl Gay Stolberg wrote the puff piece for Sunday’s edition: “President Biden Is Turning 80. Experts Say Age Is More Than a Number,” Compare that incuriosity about Biden’s failure to get a cognitive…

Hosting the 10 am Saturday morning hour on MSNBC formerly occupied by the fired Tiffany Cross, Yasmin Vossoughian says of Twitter under Elon Musk, "I can't help but keep thinking, this is kind of the beginning of the end of Twitter." Her guest, MSNBC reporter Brandy Brandy Zadrozny, adds: "It seems destined to fail from a technical standpoint."

During Friday’s Good Morning America, ABC’s senior national correspondent Terry Moran made it clear he’s not going to tolerant anyone who decries the reality that it’s unclear when the final votes will be tallied in states like Arizona. Why? Because, according to Moran, offering such gripes makes you a conspiracy theory calling into question a “normal” and “ordinary” process we should…

During Donald Trump’s presidency, The Washington Post kept a running tally of his alleged lies and/or misleading statements. But, when Joe Biden became president, the Post fact-checker, Glenn Kessler, announced an end to the database operation, saying: “Maintaining the Trump database over four years required about 400 additional 8-hour days over four years beyond our regular…

New York Times columnist Paul Krugman weighed in on Election Day 2022 in his own paranoid, hectoring fashion, “A MAGA America Would Be Ugly.” If some of it sounds familiar, it’s because he’s been making the same tiresome warnings since Trump’s rise in 2016. But does Krugman have any credibility attacking so-called election deniers? Krugman led off in lecture mode: "If you aren’t…

With the red tsunami just beginning to swell on Election Day, with only a few races called early in the night, CBS was already in damage control mode. They insisted that despite Republicans taking control of the House, they wouldn’t have a mandate from Americans to investigate aspects of the Biden administration.

On Sunday, news broke that Arizona gubernatorial Republican candidate Kari Lake’s Phoenix campaign headquarters was shuttered after a staffer opened a piece mail containing a white powder. The liberal media have made concerns about threats to election workers and (Democratic) candidates a talking point, but on this Republican threat, ABC and CBS only spent a combined 21 seconds on their…

With less than a week until Election Day, the liberal media are trying to milk the heinous attack on Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) husband, Paul Pelosi, for all it’s worth. Despite the fact that political violence has hit both parties, the liberal media show far less concern when conservatives are involved. NewsBusters examined the first five days of the Pelosi attack and found that it was 11…
