Fox News journalist Peter Doocy and Karine Jean-Pierre went round and round on Friday as the White House Press Secretary repeatedly refused to condemn harassing Supreme Court justices eating out at restaurants. At one point she just dismissed, “That is what a democracy is.” 

In 279 B.C., at the Battle of Asculum, King Pyrrhus of Epirus beat the Roman Republican armies. Pyrrhus poured his forces into the battle against the Roman might, overwhelmed them, and crushed them. Pyrrhus lost most of his troops, many of his top generals and several friends, but he won the day. Unfortunately for Pyrrhus, Rome had reserve forces. Pyrrhus had none. "If I achieve such a victory…

Saturday’s New York Times led with Supreme Court reporter Adam Liptak analyzing the ideological trend of the Court in “What We Learned This Term About the Supreme Court’s Shift to the Right,” a shift resulting from the addition of the three conservative justices appointed by President Trump. The banner print headline, “Court’s Term Was Its Most Conservative Since 1931…

The front of Friday’s New York Times featured dismayed coverage of another conservative-pleasing ruling from the Supreme Court, this one reining in the Environmental Protection Agency. First up, legal reporter Charlie Savage’s “E.P.A. Ruling Is Milestone in Long Pushback to Regulation of Business.” 

Supreme Court beat reporter Adam Liptak also made his opinion clear in Friday’…

The New York Times is not taking the Supreme Court's overruling of Roe v. Wade well. Reporter Julie Bosman made Wednesday’s front page with “Women Fear What More They Might Lose.” The text box also made the front: “Feeling Angry and Sad at the Reversal of Roe.” Bosman piled on the rage, especially when under the guise of being included in a front-page “news” story.

WASHINGTON -- In the good old days, when the liberals flourished, they undertook many grand designs. Some actually worked, for instance, the interstate highway system that now girdles America. The Cold War was another liberal idea. It worked, at least at first, before the liberals went wobbly and the conservatives and independents had to come in and finish the liberals' work for them. Of…

When the Supreme Court ruled 7 to 2 in Roe vs. Wade and liberals were dominant, the "objective" media loved the court and its "landmark" rulings. Now that the court is tilting to the right, it's a danger to democracy as we've known it.

The liberal media have sympathetically covered the myriad of crises President Biden has faced, portraying Biden as the victim of forces outside of his control. According to CNN's At This Hour on Thursday, those odious forces now include the U.S. Supreme Court because of their monumental decisions over the past month and, as a result, plunged the country towards authoritarianism.

ABC and NBC broke in with special reports Thursday for the historic swearing in of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson as the first Black woman to reach the high court, but the Disney-owned network went beyond the predictable accolades into the extremes as longtime Supreme Court reporter Terry Moran said Jackson will go down on the same plane as iconic Americans abolitionists Harriet Tubman and…

Last week, the Supreme Court reversed Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that outlawed state anti-abortion laws and federalized an issue that, for all but the last 50 years of our history, was decided by the states. Critics falsely claim that Roe “legalized” abortion, when pre-1973 abortion was legal in the states where a majority of the population resided. It is now falsely…

Along with their comrades over on MSNBC, CNN became unmoored Thursday morning in their reactions to the Supreme Court dealing a blow to the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) authority in regulating greenhouse gas emissions, arguing the Court doesn’t want to save Earth by “addressing climate change” and leveled “a blow” to the “administrative state.”

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…

This week, the Supreme Court of the United States issued a ruling overdue by some five decades, striking down Roe v. Wade (1973) and its constitutionally unsubstantiated “right to abortion.” Writing for the 6-3 majority in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, Justice Samuel Alito stated, “The Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and no such right is…

Over the course of nearly 10 minutes on Tuesday (nine minutes and 43 seconds, excluding a whopping five teases), CBS Mornings sat enthralled by Hillary Clinton as she seethed over the Dobbs Supreme Court case overturning Roe v. Wade, boasting of her “fascinating” and “powerful” sit-down and “stark warning” for the American people that “women will die” and our system of…
