CNN Fact-Checker Dings 'Right-Wing' for Misinformation Sparked By ABC
On Wednesday’s CNN Newsroom, purported CNN “fact-checker” Daniel Dale was a little irked by some naughty “right-wing commentators” and “people on the right” for spreading misinformation around the internet about COVID-19 deaths and comorbidities.

Nets Hide Liberal Justice Sotomayor Spreading COVID Misinformation
On Friday, the liberal broadcast networks and Spanish-language networks (Telemundo & Univision) weren’t interested in showing just how ignorant a liberal Supreme Court justice was when discussing COVID-19.

Column: Do We Need a January 6 News Glut?
On the cusp of an absolute glut of liberal-media anniversary coverage of the January 6 riot, CNN media reporter Brian Stelter was cranky. “We live in a world where Donald Trump's top supporters malign the media for being ‘obsessed’ with January 6.” He argued anyone who thinks this story is overdone is someone "best explained by psychologists or therapists or algorithm developers."

Did Gallup End 74-Year Polling Tradition to Avoid Trump Placing First?

In its 7 am hour, New Day brought on CNN medical analyst Dr. Jonathan Reiner who called the Times Square New Year's Eve celebration a potential "superspreader" event that is "completely unnecessary" and "unwise." Reiner called omicron "the most contagious pathogen that any of us have ever seen." And he…

'Kingmaker': Nets Remember Harry Reid as a 'Force of Nature'
Not a bad word or embarrassing moment was mentioned by the broadcast networks Wednesday morning as they reported on the life and death of former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

Embarrassing NYT: Elf on Shelf a 'Spy,' But No FBI Spy in Trump Camp?
Reporter Daniel Victor ran an embarrassing expose on….Elf on the Shelf in Sunday’s New York Times. “In a Tiny, Jolly Spy for Santa, Watchdogs Spot Big Brother.” But behind the silliness lurks a liberal bias.

After Portland Riots, NYTimes Finds FBI Surveillance a Bad Thing Again
Portland, Oregon has endured rioting, vandalism, and assaults in its downtown area for months on end.

CNN Cries 'Fake News' to Accurately Say Biden Has More Covid Deaths
China is responsible for every American Covid death. But if you’re going to try to parse out blame to a particular president, at least get the simple math right.
