Wow! Nicolle Wallace, NYT Reporter Question Biden's Russia Threat
December 23rd, 2020 5:35 AM
The liberal media has ripped President Trump for downplaying the apparent cyberattack by Russia into high levels of the US government. So when Joe Biden spoke out today, trashing President Trump's handling of the matter, accusing Russia for the attack, and vowing to punish it, you would have thought that on her MSNBC show this afternoon, Nicolle Wallace & co. would have cheered Biden. But…

April 6th, 2020 5:12 PM
Two New York Times stories on Monday took two entirely different angles on how the ideologies of the American left and right are faring in the era of the coronavirus.

NYTimes: No Lean at Nation; Weekly Standard All Kinds of Conservative
April 10th, 2019 10:54 PM
It was a throwback to the bad old days of laughably obvious labeling bias at the New York Times. Reporter Tiffany Hsu Stark demonstrated the other end of that stark double standard on Tuesday, with the news that “Nation Editor To Step Down But Stay On As Publisher.” Hsu’s piece contained not a single ideological label to identify the hard-left magazine that has dallied for…

March 31st, 2019 7:47 PM
The April 2019 issue of Esquire features a long, eye-opening article on how attacks on Trump may have permanently damaged the media’s reputation (always fragile) for objectivity.
