The media have exhibited compassion regarding President Biden's pardon for his son, Hunter, but 17 years ago, angry journalists railed against the “travesty of justice” after President Bush merely commuted the prison sentence of former White House aide “Scooter” Libby.

It’s an intriguing parallel: Father and daughter Republican political figures Dick Cheney and Liz Cheney, insulted as warmongers and chicken hawks by different political parties, twenty years apart. But the coverage in the New York Times couldn’t have been more different. When Donald Trump attacked Republican turned Kamala Harris supporter Liz Cheney as a “radical warhawk,” he was…

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough goes full Baghdad Bob for Biden. He suggests people should ignore "stupid March polls" that show Biden losing, and analogizes the race to the 1980 race between Carter and Reagan, before Carter's support collapsed at the very end.

CNN’s Christiane Amanpour welcomed the Columbia Journalism School’s Margaret Sullivan to the Saturday edition of The Amanpour Hour where the two condemned their media colleagues for allegedly focusing on President Joe Biden’s age to the exclusion of everything else.

CNN’s Fareed Zakaria hosted a Sunday special documentary entitled Why Iran Hates America where he ultimately homed in on three Republican presidents: Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump.

On Morning Joe, on the occasion of the death of Henry Kissinger, Joe Scarborough makes an invidious comparison between Kissinger and Zbigniew Brzezinski, the late father of Scarborough's wife and co-host Mika Brzezinski. Scarborough described Kissinger as a "shape-shifter" who retained influence for 50 years after leaving the White House because he was good at "ingratiating" himself with…

On the 20th anniversary of the start of the Iraq War, NewsBusters is determined to rebut the silly leftist allegation that the "mainstream media" were Bush-Cheney lackeys who never threw tough questions before and during war in Iraq. Bill Moyers of PBS even claimed the media resembled a cult engaged in a "collective Jonestown-like suicide."

For 20 years, lefties have blasted the press as weak or corrupt because the media did not prevent the Bush administration from launching the war in Iraq. It’s become an enduring myth amongst liberals — and one that an honest review of news coverage would quickly debunk.

Alexandra Pelosi, daughter of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, recently directed a much-hyped documentary about her mother called Pelosi in the House, which debuted Tuesday night on HBO.
