CBS’s Dokoupil Grills Biden Education Sec. on Axing Dept, Loan Debt
In a story we didn’t get to last week, CBS Mornings brought on Biden-Harris Education Secretary Miguel Cardona during the August 29 show and co-host Tony Dokoupil admirably grilled him on what he probably thought was going to be an easy interview about a supposed bus tour to promote public education. Instead, it turned into a back-and-forth on the cost of the Biden White House’s…
Editor’s Pick: ‘White Fragility’ Lady Seems Guilty of Plagiarism!
2023 Dao Prize finalist and Washington Free Beacon writer Aaron Sibarium uncorked a doozy Monday morning that revealed Robin DiAngelo, the author of the race-hustling book White Fragility and a walking embodiment of how rich, white, liberal women are wreaking havoc on the country’s political and societal systems, is the subject of a new complaint filed at the University of Washington…
NBC Skips Columbia U President Finally Resigning After Pro-Hamas Chaos
Four months after pro-Hamas terrorists took over the Columbia University campus and made it a no-go zone for Jewish students, university president Minouche Shafik finally resigned in disgrace. But while the Thursday newscasts of ABC’s Good Morning America and CBS Mornings found time to report on the resignation, NBC’s Today couldn’t spare even a few seconds to…
Cal Thomas: Back to (Chaotic) Schools Season
In normal years, which were not that long ago, students would look forward to returning to or entering college as freshmen. After violent anti-Israel and antisemitic demonstrations on some college campuses, many fear this semester might see a repeat of the prior ugliness. This is how bad it has gotten. Police in Montgomery County, Maryland, are investigating after antisemitic and pro-…
‘Divested’ From Reality: PBS Cheers Hamas-Supporting Campus Protests
How did taxpayer-funded media cover the anti-Jewish, pro-Hamas protests that dominated college campuses this spring? A new Media Research Center study analyzed the words used by Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) reporters, guests, and talking heads over 36 days of protest coverage and found PBS’s flagship news program NewsHour/News Weekend to be overwhelmingly on the side of the…
Surprise: NBC’s Alexander Grills KJP Over Biden’s Student Loan Handout
With President Biden on the road Monday and Tuesday then a joint press conference Thursday with the Kenyan president, reporters jammed a lot of questions into Wednesday’s press briefing to the ever-inept Karine Jean-Pierre. Thankfully, NBC’s Peter Alexander woke up ready to do his job with probing questions to the press secretary, even if they’re on the same side of the aisle. The topic was…
ABC, NBC RAGE at Butker’s ‘Controversial’ Speech That ‘Went Too Far’
On Thursday, ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Today seethed with disgust at Christians and anyone who values being a parent over their careers (or any other accomplishment or trait) in light of the Benedictine College commencement address by Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker, which they deemed “controversial” and worthy of “backlash” and “growing outrage” for…
Regime Media Continue To HIDE SecEDU Cardona's Massive FAFSA Fail
The Education Department’s ongoing meltdown due to its failed implementation of its new website for its Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) should, on the merits, be an ongoing major national story. But the Regime Media have chosen only to cover the story in a very sparing manner, shielding those responsible for the FAFSA meltdown from any scrutiny or accountability.
NYT Roots for Pro-Hamas Competition: 'Al Jazeera Finds Fans On Campus'
A laudatory look at the pro-Hamas, Qatar-funded network Al Jazeera, “Why Al Jazeera is the Go To News Source for Student Protesters,” by Santul Nerkar, a young journalist at the paper, made the front page of Monday’s New York Times Business section. The print headline: “Al Jazeera Finds Fans On Campus." When conservatives say they don’t trust the mainstream press to cover Republicans fairly,…
Late Night Shame: ‘SNL,’ Colbert Can’t Condemn College Antisemitism
“Saturday Night Live” had a second chance to address the raging antisemitism on today’s college campuses.
PBS Mocks Non-Protesters: No Right to 'Convenient Path to the Library'
Tuesday’s PBS NewsHour actually brought on a critic of the pro-Hamas protesters currently infesting college campus quads across the country, which so far have gotten a nearly free ride from scrutiny (there’s certainly been little scrutiny of the pro-Biden groups funding them). New York Times columnist David French is no hard-core conservative, but his opinion that the “…
Jacqui Drops Hammer, Asks WH About Israel Support, GWU Encampment
In case you missed it, Monday’s White House press briefing was dominated by questions about Hamas supposedly agreeing to a ceasefire deal that, as we would quickly find out, was one they more or less concocted on their own (as opposed to one backed by Egypt, Israel, Qatar, and the U.S.), so Fox’s Jacqui Heinrich made a point to wonder whether the Biden regime still wants Israel to win the war…
What Word the Media Refuses to Use For the College Riots: Insurrection
No one who's politically aware can be unaware of January 6, 2021. Tens of thousands of Americans descended on Washington to protest the counts and Covid-related conditions of the 2020 election. A riot took place at the US Capitol. The riot resulted in the charging, per ABC News three years later, of over 1,200 and “incarceration for more than 460 people.”
Bloomberg Columnist Claims Trump Trial Doesn't 'Get Much Attention'
Bloomberg Businessweek columnist Joshua Green mourned on Friday’s Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO that the media has been covering the demonstrations on college campuses across the country and not Donald Trump’s hush money trial. Not only is surging anti-Semitism among college students a newsworthy topic, but it is simply not true that Trump’s trial has been removed from newscasts.…
