Snoop Dogg Is Right on 'Roots'
My musical tastes do not include rap and hip-hop, but when Snoop Dogg comments on the "Roots" remake, saying he is tired of movies about slavery and would prefer a series "about the success that black folks are having," he is singing my song.
Politico's Thrush: Trump Lies So Bad He Needs Real-Time Fact-Checking
Coming out of Donald Trump’s contentious press conference on Tuesday, Politico chief political correspondent Glenn Thrush went on MSNBC and suggested Trump was such a unique liar – a liar for the ages, the biggest political liar “of our lifetimes” – that he needs a live fact-check on the TV screen. Like many reporters, Thrush is utterly blind to Bill and Hillary Clinton’s routine and relentless…
Liberal Writer: Media to Blame For Hillary’s ‘Political PTSD’
As many NewsBusters readers know, a fairly common talking point on the left is that Hillary (and Bill) Clinton have consistently gotten a raw deal from the national media. Unsurprisingly, New York Magazine’s Rebecca Traister raised the issue in an 8,200-word piece on Hillary and her campaign that appears in the magazine’s May 30 issue. “If Clinton suffers from a kind of political PTSD that makes…
Trump, The Mexican-American Judge, and the 'Wise Latina'
The virulently anti-Trump Washington Post has just illustrated how the game of racializing the judiciary is played.
The other day Donald Trump began criticizing the judge in the Trump University case being brought against him. He pointed out that the Judge was “Mexican.” U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel, born in Indiana, is indeed of Mexican parentage. The Post headlined their front page story…
Allen West, Brent Bozell to Headline MRC's 2017 Caribbean Cruise
After a successful first journey on Holland America's Westerdam, the Media Research Center is gearing up for another week-long MRC Caribbean Cruise featuring prominent conservatives, scheduled to set sail from Florida in February of 2017.

Bozell & Graham Column: America's Wrong to Love Football?
The NFL has a serious PR problem with concussions. NFL star Junior Seau committed suicide in 2012 to underline the issue. Count on flower children at NPR to go over the edge with this issue. The problem isn't the size and strength, and therefore power of professional football players. No, it's -- ready? -- the evil game of football itself.
This is your taxpayer-funded broadcasting in action:…
Politifact Can't Give Hillary a 'Pantsuits on Fire' Tag on E-Mail Lies
The liberal-media site Politifact had the option of calling out Hillary Clinton on the lies of her email scandal by using their catchy designation "Pants on Fire," but instead went with just “False.” Add to that the lame headline, "Fact-checking Hillary Clinton's claim that her email practices were 'allowed.'" But recently, they sounded like a Hillary Clinton campaign page when they assessed her…
Politico Wag: Press Should Treat 'Baby Donald' Like a Toddler
Politico senior media writer Jack Shafer is usually a fairly sensible media critic, but not this week. He wrote a snarky article on Wednesday headlined "Donald Trump Is a 2-Year-Old. It’s Time for the Press to Treat Him Like One."
Shafer announced that Trump's angry Tuesday press conference demonstrated he's just like a big baby, or an irritable two-year-old.
Pew's Middle-Class Study Pretends Obama-Era Trend Started in 2000
A Pew Research report published three weeks ago on America’s Shrinking Middle Class presented a fundamentally misleading narrative which the press was only too eager to relay and continues to use, namely that the middle class has been seriously shrinking since the turn of the century. Christopher Rugaber at the Associated Press typified the initial press coverage, writing: "In nearly one-quarter…
NBC Boosts 'Reinvigorated' Hillary Clinton's 'Roast' of Trump
On Friday's NBC Nightly News, Andrea Mitchell touted how Donald Trump's repeated shots at the ethnic background of a federal judge "reinvigorated" Hillary Clinton's presidential bid. Mitchell hyped how "her campaign thinks she has finally cracked the code on how to make the attacks on Trump stick, after that takedown...billed as a foreign policy speech — at times, sounding more like a roast."
Esquire Liberal Worries that 'Rioting Only Makes Trump Stronger'
Esquire magazine writer Charles Pierce must be in a state of panic after the events following yesterday's Donald Trump rally in San Jose, California when anti-Trump protesters violently attacked Trump supporters. Last week Pierce wrote that such attacks only help Trump and that has him extremely worried. Unfortunately for him even some his fellow liberal journalists such as Emmett Rensin, who was…
Nets Cheer Hillary’s ‘Passionate’ ‘Total Takedown’ of Trump
On Friday, all three network morning shows hailed Hillary Clinton’s vicious tirade against Donald Trump during a speech on Thursday. On NBC’s Today, correspondent Kristen Welker excitedly asked: “Did Hillary Clinton finally crack the code for taking on Donald Trump? That's the big question this morning after Clinton delivered a withering 35-minute speech arguing that electing Trump would be a,…
CBS Touts Claims of Racism at Airbnb, 'Micro-Aggression'
On Friday, CBS This Morning featured a segment by CBSN reporter Vladimir Duthiers on the apparent racial bias of Airbnb. After citing one documented case, he portrayed a culture of racism across the international apartment renting service.
Media Try to Bail Out Worst Jobs Report Since 2010
The latest jobs report was a stunner, falling more than 100,000 jobs short of expectations.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics announced on June 3, that only 38,000 new jobs were added in May 2016. That was less than one-quarter of the jobs anticipated. The liberal media predictably spun the news, before and after its announcement.
