Media Bias Debate
Vittert Tells Nation to Take Media with an ‘Enormous Grain of Salt’
The left-wing media specializes in fearmongering the public about President Trump’s policy decisions, but NewsNation’s On Balance with Leland Vittert displayed the opposite on Wednesday night. Vittert had powerful words to describe the reflection of the media over the last six months and stuck with a theme of the liberal media needing to be “taken with an enormous grain of salt.”
I’m Rubber, You’re Glue: Guthrie Claims Critics Are ‘Biased,’ Not Her
During a Tuesday appearance on Monica Lewinsky’s (yes, the one you’re thinking of) podcast “Reclaiming,” NBC Today show co-host Savannah Guthrie pushed back on her critics with essentially the schoolyard ‘I’m rubber and you’re glue” defense. According to her, if someone thought that she had a political bias in her reporting, it was they who needed to check their bias at the door. Of…
Trending: Should Democrats Be Afraid To Go On The View?
On Friday night, Bill Maher had on Rep. Wesley Hunt, R-Texas, and they both criticized Whoopi Goldberg of The View for comparing life for black Americans to women living under Iran's oppressive regime. The comments may have served as a wake-up call for moderates and liberals alike to really think long and hard on whether or not an appearance on The View will help their public…
New CNN Voice, Ex-Biden Aide: 'Can't Deny' Professionalism Of Iran Hit
On CNN This Morning, former Biden/Kamala aide Sabrina Singh, now a CNN commentator, said of the strikes on Iran: "I mean, you cannot deny the professionalism of our military when it came to this operation." Looks like CNN has adopted "can't deny" as a catchphrase to cover those unfortunate situations where—much as commentators would like to diminish the accomplishments of the Trump…
Acosta Refers To Army Parade As Trump's 'Kim Jong-un Birthday Parade'
Former CNN anchor Jim Acosta traveled over to the Center for American Progress on Tuesday to praise the No Kings protesters, claim Saturday’s Army parade was really President Trump’s “Kim Jong-un birthday parade,” and, more humorously, claim that Trump’s attacks against the media put liberal priorities like high-speed rail at risk. Seriously, he said that.
Stewart Calls ABC 'A F****** Joke' For Firing Terry Moran
Earlier this week, ABC News canned senior national correspondent Terry Moran for posting on social media that White House domestic policy adviser Stephen Miller is “richly endowed with the capacity for hatred,” a “world-class hater,” and “You can see this just by looking at him because you can see that his hatreds are his spiritual nourishment. He eats his hate.” This did not sit well with…
Cabrera Hints PBS Needed Because Family Didn't Have Cable in the 80s
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.
NPR CEO Claims Federal Funding Needed For Safe Drinking Water
NPR CEO Katherine Maher recently traveled to London for the city’s SXSW festival because, apparently, she thinks London is the place to be when she needs to convince American lawmakers not to rescind her federal funding. While in London, Maher sat down for an interview with CNN International’s Max Foster that aired on his Monday installment of What We Know, where she insisted that NPR…
Bob Costas Compares Trump Support With Disbelieving In a Round Earth
Sportscaster Bob Costas’s tendency to wax poetic in a gratuitous manner is so well known, it has become a meme. During a Monday speech at Syracuse University’s Mirror Awards, Costas was at it again, invoking Thomas Jefferson to compare supporting President Donald Trump to disbelieving in a round earth and telling anyone who objects to such insults that he doesn’t care what you think and, in…
PBS Defense Fails: 'If Viewers Love PBS So Much, Let Them Pay for It'
A new paper defending PBS is headlined "An island of trust: public broadcasting in the United States," which was featured in Current, a sort of trade publication for public media: “Study shows Americans trust PBS precisely because it’s publicly funded.” The left-leaning Harvard-affiliated Nieman Journalism Lab quickly reprinted it, claiming "It’s essential…
Ex-NPR Editor Uri Berliner Calls ‘BS’ on NPR’s Awful Jewish Coverage
The Thursday episode of the “Ask a Jew” podcast hosted Uri Berliner, former senior business editor at NPR, who was suspended and later resigned from the outlet for his damning critique of the insular liberal bias of taxpayer funded NPR. Hosts Yael Bar-tur and Chaya Leah Sufrin asked Berliner about how NPR covered Israel, and the resulting discussion was withering. Berliner characterized one…
Chuck Todd Defends Media’s Lack of Scrutiny of Biden’s Mental Decline
Former President Biden’s health decline had been an obvious issue throughout his presidential term, but more concerns have been raised for why the media didn’t cover it enough. Piers Morgan Uncensored hosted a show inviting a panel of political and academic credits to debate which presidential scandal was worse: Biden’s cover-up for his health or Nixon’s Watergate scandal. One of the…
CNN Uses Pompous Clooney Play to Say Trump Era WORSE THAN 'Red Scare'
In the context of promoting CNN's broadcast of George Clooney's Broadway play, Good Night and Good Luck, host Audie Cornish brings on an Axios media reporter to suggest that under Trump, repression of dissent is worse than during the Joe McCarthy era.
'They Would Suffer': Stelter Warns Of PBS And NPR Defunding
CNN chief media analyst Brian Stelter joined The Situation Room on Wednesday morning to freak out over President Trump’s rescission package that asks Congress to revoke funding for PBS and NPR. According to Stelter, not only would such a move cause local affiliates to “suffer as well,” but he also hyped PEN America saying the real reason for the move was about “discouraging real news…
