Health Care

Along with celebrating older Americans pretending it’s the 1960s all over again by becoming hooked on marijuana and lamenting the Supreme Court gave President Trump the green light to continue mass deportation raids in cities like Los Angeles, Monday’s CBS Evening News provided yet another example of the liberal bias for new ownership to fix. The topic? A possible incoming shortage…

Tuesday’s CBS Morning Plus may have clinched the single dumbest and most tone-deaf segment on last month’s brutal murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte, North Carolina by declaring the murder was proof of a “mental health crisis...within this country” and that America has failed to properly “invest in” and “rehabilitate” people like the alleged killer, DeCarlos Brown…

On Monday afternoon’s CNN News Central, chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst John Miller and chief media analyst Brian Stelter offered two ridiculous reactions to last month’s brutal murder in Charlotte, North Carolina of a Ukrainian refugee allegedly at the hands of a thug with 14 prior arrests. For the latter, it was a lack of government-funded mental health care while the…

Tuesday’s New York Times led with a 2,500-word screed by science reporter William Broad. “Historians See Autocratic Playbook in Trump’s Attacks on Science” took off from that headline and became quickly even more laughable, taking us back 400 years to the Inquisition. The prominent story was even illustrated with a painting of astronomer Galileo’s 1633 church trial for heresy for…

Appearing on Wednesday’s CBS Mornings and CBS Mornings Plus, infectious disease expert and Covid-19 pandemic TV mainstay Dr. Michael Osterholm stopped by to hawk his new book The Big One and, despite the best efforts of the CBS co-hosts to have Osterholm answer for the public health community’s failures during Covid that caused their credibility to crater, Osterholm…

Public health officials have a long way to go before they regain the public’s trust, and a regrettable Thursday segment on CNN’s The Source showed just how little some in the industry and in the media care. Amid some weak questioning from host Kaitlan Collins, Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, who recently resigned as the CDC’s Director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory…

Remember former Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.) who got censured for pulling the fire alarm in the Capitol Building as lawmakers prepared to vote to prevent a government shutdown? He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor, paid a $1,000 fine and lost the next Democrat primary. He’s back. Bowman, appearing June 25 as a panelist on MSNBC, said, “The reason why heart disease and cancer and obesity and…

PolitiFact threw a “False” flag at Scott Jennings for suggesting on CNN Newsnight with Abby Phillip "There are like almost 5 million able-bodied people on Medicaid who simply choose not to work.” But that is less shocking than this “factual” website rushing to defend former Rep. Jamaal Bowman saying on that CNN show a few weeks ago that black people have worse health outcomes because…

On his eponymous Sunday show, MSNBC host Ali Velshi voiced agreement with ex-Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin as the embittered ex-Republican trashed the GOP over its deportation policies. She also claimed that 50,000 people a year will die as a result of the Republican budget plan.

As President Trump’s big budget bill neared a crucial vote in the Senate on Monday, PBS News Hour’s most biased reporter, Laura Barron-Lopez, covered only one side of a critical part of the bill federal health care spending on Medicare and Medicaid. The sole guest for the segment not only represented a liberal health group, KFF (previously known as the Kaiser Family Foundation), but…

Congresswoman Jen Kiggans (R-VA) — who represents a swing district encompassing Virginia’s Eastern Shore and much of the Hampton Roads region — took to Thursday’s CBS Mornings Plus and calmly explained the facts behind the Big, Beautiful Bill, specifically changes to Medicaid and its unsustainable path without reform.

MSNBC’s Ana Cabrera grew up in the 80s, and the media landscape has changed a lot since then, but on her Thursday show, she implied her family’s inability to pay for cable as a child means Congress should not approve President Trump’s rescission package that seeks to defund PBS and NPR.

Since launching the CBS Evening News Plus, anchor John Dickerson has ended the show with a “Reporter’s Notebook” segment disguised as an often partisan commentary (and not that he needs one given the absurdity of his CBS Evening News the half-hour prior), but for Tuesday’s installment, he ghoulishly tied rural health care and men’s mental health to the proposed work…

ABC’s Chief Medical Correspondent, Dr. Tara Narula, appeared on Good Morning America to discuss the controversy surrounding seed oils with co-host Michael Strahan this Tuesday. Her answer to the discussion, however, was not quite as clear as one would have hoped. Of course, considering Secretary of Health Robert F. Kennedy’s opposition to what were commonly referred to as the “Hateful…
