Samantha Bee: 'Greta Thunberg Terrifies Me and I Love Her For It!'
Full Frontal host Samantha Bee joined a long list of media figures Wednesday as she heaped praise on teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg. Bee noted that “there’s nothing more terrifying than a teenage girl” before introducing Thunberg as “one teenage girl in particular” who “is scaring the crap out of all of us.” In addition to gushing over Thunberg, Bee also labeled those not sharing her…
ABC & NBC Dismiss Whistleblower’s Credibility Problems
During Thursday’s special reports on ABC and NBC covering the House Intelligence Committee hearing with Acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire, journalists rushed to the defense of the anonymous whistleblower accusing President Trump of wrongdoing in a phone call with the president of Ukraine.

Estrella TV: ‘Trump Did the Same Thing Biden Did as VP’
Estrella TV is normally known for its over-the-top, virulent coverage of all things pertaining to President Donald Trump. But as Impeachment Fever swaps the nation’s domestic Spanish-language media, Estrella has decided to asset some editorial independence.
ZERO Challenging Questions for Liberal Senator on CNN, PBS, MSNBC
It's always amusing when reporters insist that they're not "stenographers to power," but when you look at their interviews with Democrats, they often come across as stenographers -- extremely accomodating, and not at all challenging. Take for example, Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut in his interviews on the Ukrainian kerfuffle on Wednesday. None of his three national TV interviews seriously…
‘Joker’ Director Rejects ‘Far Left’ ‘Outrage’ Over Comic Book Film
Todd Phillips, director of the upcoming Joker film starring Joaquin Phoenix, is pushing back against critics and protestors who claim that his R-rated comic book adaptation may inspire violence. Both he and Warner Brothers Studios insist that neither the fictional character, “nor the film, is an endorsement of real-world violence of any kind,” with the director calling out the critics as being…
Media Bow as ADL Declares ‘OK’ Hand Gesture a Hate Symbol
The finger-and-thumb OK sign, once an international gesture of approval, has been declared to be a racist gesture by the Anti-Defamation League. As CNN wrote in its September 26 coverage, “The ADL added that symbol along with several others on Thursday to its long-standing database of slogans and symbols used by extremists.” While the ADL has said that not everybody necessarily intends it to be a…
Biden to Kimmel: ‘No Legitimate Journalist’ Believes Ukraine Claims
Joe Biden took another slap at the press on Wednesday night, falsely stating that “no legitimate journalist” gives any credibility to claims that, as vice president, he improperly intervened on behalf of son Hunter Biden. After Jimmy Kimmel wondered about the “gossip element” of the Ukraine story, Biden attacked: “Look, you know, when you step back from it, this is not about me and my family.…
Desperate ABC Hypes Deflated Scoop Corroborating Whistleblower
As is often the case, ABC misled its audience by tweeting a deceptive headline and story, only to issue a correction after the damage was done. To make matters worse, the network doubled down on their spurious story by giving it airtime on Good Morning America, Thursday morning in two separate segments.
CNN's Toobin Alleges Quid Pro Quo: 'I Know English'
The release of the transcript of the much talked about phone call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday has led to a flurry of hot takes from the media about what exactly went on between the two presidents and the state of impeachment. CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin joined At This Hour host Kate Bolduan to discuss the transcripts, his English speaking…
CBS Actually Presses New Zealand’s Gun-Grabbing Prime Minister
CBS, as well as the other two networks, routinely push gun control policies over gun rights by a large margin. So it was a welcome surprise to see the hosts of CBS This Morning on Wednesday actually quiz New Zealand’s Prime Minister over the morality and effectiveness of her newly enacted policies.
Nicolle Wallace Angrily Cuts Away from Trump Press Conference
Wow! The MSNBC host of Deadline: White House, Nicolle Wallace, declared President Trump to be a liar on Wednesday (how original) and used that as an excuse to cut away from the televised press conference almost 24 hours after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi declared the House's formal attempt to impeach the President. Perhaps Trump's truth telling about Joe and Hunter Biden was too much for her to…
South Park: Kids in Cages Because of ‘Fat Intolerant A******’
The new season of South Park got back to its libertarian roots in ways many conservatives might not appreciate. One side plot of Wednesday night's episode "Mexican Joker" dealt with marijuana and regulation reform, but the main storyline was based around illegal immigrant children being placed in detention centers.
CNN's Bill Weir Performs a Gore Gush at UN Climate Summit
CNN's Bill Weir has long ago dumped any pretense of unbiased reporting when it comes to climate coverage. His antics on Monday's The Lead only added to the perception of him as a climate change activist with a press card. He demonstrated this during an interview with Al Gore who, as you can see, knew he was in very friendly territory.
ABC, NBC: Congress Can ‘Read Between the Lines’ to Impeach Trump
With the infamous phone call between President Trump’s and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky appearing to be a nothingburger following the release of a transcript of the conversation, the liberal media appeared to be urging Congress to find a way to use it for impeachment anyway. During the Wednesday evening newscasts of ABC and NBC, ‘reading between the lines’ was a common refrain.
