Double Standards

In the wake of the assassination of former conservative Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Friday, elements of the liberal media made sure to get their kicks in as they slapped on nasty labels to show their disgust with his politics. This comes in contrast to their glowing words and emotional goodbyes to communist dictators and murderers, and Muslim terrorists.

The Washington Post noticed the attention gap between seven shot dead in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park, while ten were shot dead in Chicago over the weekend. But Nicolle Wallace's MSNBC show only focused on the suburbs, apparently because people move there "because it's safe." 

Holding her first press briefing since June 22, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre showed Tuesday that she hadn’t improved since her cringeworthy opening months in the top post. As part of that, she flailed when grilled by Fox’s Peter Doocy and Real Clear Politics’s Philip Wegmann over a 2018 voicemail from Hunter Biden’s laptop allegedly showing Joe Biden discussed business…

When you don’t get your way, changing the rules is the hallmark of the sore loser. And that’s exactly what Whoopi Goldberg was demanding during ABC’s The View on Thursday. With the recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings favoring conservatives hanging over them like the storm clouds over their set in the Bahamas, Goldberg pleaded for President Joe Biden to pack the Court with liberals in…

Since the U.S. Supreme Court voted to overturn Roe v. Wade on June 24, 2022, the liberal media have been clutching their pearls to powder while opining that “Trump judges” are destroying the Court’s credibility. The liberal media often question the legitimacy of the highest court in the land over rulings they dislike. But just a few years ago, they accused former President Trump of “…

CNN senior writer Brian Lowry, and by extension CNN media reporter Brian Stelter mocked right-of-center New York Times columnist Ross Douthat for daring to write about two new movies in his latest column, even though he’s been a movie critic for National Review for years. Stelter’s June 19 newsletter included a snotty take from Lowry that suggested Douthat should stick to…

Given how CBS Mornings and the network morning news shows covered the January 6 hearings versus the attempted assassination of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, it wasn’t shocking to see that a Tuesday segment warning about political violence ignored the party ID of those attacked five years ago on this date in Alexandria, Virginia (congressional Republicans), the gunman’s tilt (progressive),…

NewsBusters managing editor Curtis Houck returned early Tuesday to the Fox News Channel’s Fox News @ Night with Shannon Bream to call out the liberal media’s burying of the failed plot to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and how attacks on pro-lifers signal a dangerous escalation in political rhetoric.

The New York Times buried the horrible news of a confessed would-be assassin prowling outside Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s home, intending to murder him for his opinions on gun control and abortion. If the Times truly treated both political parties the same, it would have criticized Sen. Chuck Schumer’s 2020 threat to Republican-appointed justices Neil Gorsuch and…

The New York Times is eagerly awaiting the start of the Democrats’ prime-time, televised January 6 hearings, which promises to dredge up new angles exploiting the awful events to help boost the party’s prospects in November. The headline wasn't shy about it: "Jan. 6 Hearings Give Democrats a Chance to Recast Midterm Message." Among the pathetic Democratic political tactics was an ice…

On Thursday ahead of the first primetime hearing of the House Select Committee hearing on January 6 (which could be described as Nancy Pelosi's third run at impeaching Donald Trump), the morning broadcast network news programs showed total devotion to the cause of their fellow leftists by spending over three times more airtime on January 6 than the attempted assassination by a disturbed…

The New York Times, which pushed special investigator Robert Mueller’s investigation into allegations of Trump campaign collusion with the Russian government that proved illusory, is reveling in the acquittal of a Democratic operative in special counsel’s John Durham inquiry (an inquiry into “conspiracy theories,” according to Savage) into the possibly corrupted origins of Mueller’s…

After decades of celebrating liberal activists for exerting pressure on corporations to end racism, clean up the environment, support abortion rights and “voting rights," the media is now panicking over belated counter-actions by conservatives against such corporate activism. A New York Times front-page story Friday by environmental beat reporters David Gelles and Hiroko Tabuchi laid…

The New York Times ran a hit piece on former CBS journalist Lara Logan: “Former Star At CBS News Follows Path To Far Right.” After introducing Logan as someone who had “reached the heights of American journalism….as the chief foreign affairs correspondent for CBS News,” he lamented “today Ms. Logan cuts a far different figure in American media. Instead of on national news broadcasts,…
