In February 2024, when Special Counsel Robert Hur published his report about then-President Biden’s alleged mishandling of classified documents, the White House’s media lapdogs were utterly incensed by Hur’s characterization of Biden as an “elderly man with a poor memory.” Borrowing language directly from Democrats’ own talking points, corporate journalists maligned Hur for his “gratuitous”…

MSNBC continued their never-ending obsession with every little action of the Trump administration Tuesday, and, true to form, they weren’t squeamish about throwing around groundless accusations of foul play. On The 11th Hour that night, Stephanie Ruhle hosted a panel which discussed Trump’s recent termination of two Democratic members of the Federal Trade Commission, and the…

Hell has frozen over, and some in the left-wing corporate media have finally begun to entertain the notion that our 81-year-old President might, in fact, have some cognitive issues. Now is as good a time as any to remind everyone of how desperate these same journalists were to dismiss that idea as a “right-wing” conspiracy theory cooked up by cynical Republicans and “Russian television,” until…

President Joe Biden whined that X (formerly known as Twitter) is not as aggressively engaging in widespread censorship of constitutionally protected free speech.

Nineteen years ago tonight, the liberal media were in full swoon over Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry, with the hope that their effusive praise might propel the liberal Massachusetts Senator into the White House.

Everyone who cannot abide the way that liberal networks attempt to mangle Republican presidential candidates in primary debates is having the same thought: If the Democrats never award a primary debate to Fox News or Newsmax, why on Earth should Republicans subject themselves to CNN or MSNBC or the rest?

A review of the MRC’s archives shows a consistent and clear pattern of slanted questions to Republican candidates in debates hosted by NBC. There is a decades-long pattern of moderator questions designed to antagonize, embarrass or mock Republican candidates, their policies and supporters.

Eight years ago, the New York Times’s Michael Schmidt broke the news that Hillary Clinton ignored government rules and used a personal server for e-mail during her time in office. Friendly journalists spent the next week furiously attempting to spin her scandalous conduct away, ultimately deriding reporters who provided tough coverage as Hillary “haters.”

In 2022, some of cable TV’s most obnoxious left-wing executives, hosts, correspondents and commentators were shown the door. On this final day of 2022, a look back at those who we said goodbye to this year, and how the fairness of the media landscape is at least somewhat improved by their departure.

National Public Radio television critic Eric Deggans issued a left-wing-tinged, year-end lament on the state of the media: “Six ways media took a big step backward in 2022.” Deggans was particularly obsessed with Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter, but spared some sadness for (former) CNN media reporter Brian Stelter and (former) lefty late-night host Samantha Bee.

CNN White House correspondent John Harwood joined CNN Newsroom on Friday to recap President Biden’s Thursday speech by declaring that journalists must defend it against criticism it was too partisan and too divisive. Not that long after, Harwood tweeted he would be leaving CNN.

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell warned Americans on Friday that more pain was on the way as they tried to float President Biden’s sinking economy. And on CNN’s At This Hour, White House correspondent John Harwood flashed a sadistic streak, boosting the administration’s argument that all the pain and anxiety Americans were being subjected to was really for their own benefit down…

With congressional Democrats ramming through yet another massive spending bill, which honest economists say will worsen inflation and raise taxes on average Americans, the liberal media are fiercely gaslighting the American people to believe President Biden and the Democrats were their saviors. And on Monday’s At This Hour, CNN White House correspondent John Harwood proclaimed that we…

For years, journalists and experts alike have argued in favor of the definition which the Biden administration has just tried to undo: that at least two straight quarters of negative GDP growth means the country is in a recession.
