Oscars So Political: Biden to Introduce Lady Gaga and Anti-Rape Song
Once again, Team Obama can't keep itself out of the annual Academy Awards show. The White House announced Thursday that Vice President Biden will appear to introduce Lady Gaga singing an Oscar-nominated song about sexual assault.
Biden, hailed as the shepherd of the "Violence Against Women Act," voted against both the perjury and obstruction-of-justice counts in the Clinton impeachment trial,…
CNN's Hill: Blacks Should Ask Who Can 'Make Our Dreams Come True?'
Appearing as a guest on Wednesday's CNN Tonight, liberal CNN political commentator Marc Lamont Hill provided a glimpse at the caricature of Democrats having over the top expectations of what government can accomplish in improving their lives as he recommended that black voters in South Carolina, when deciding between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, should "think beyond a limited sort of…
Networks Hide Eye-Popping Price Tags of ‘Free’ Tuition Proposals
College tuition is like lunch: it’s never free.
But that hasn’t stopped the media and liberal politicians from claiming it could be. On Jan. 31, 2016, USA Today reported that some states were considering “free” tuition policies in 2016 saying, “Free college is not just a pipe dream in this country.”
NBC Hammered Romney on His Taxes, But With Trump: ‘Who Cares?’
Displaying a stunning double standard on Thursday’s NBC Today, host Savannah Guthrie immediately dismissed 2012 Republican nominee Mitt Romney calling for the release of Donald Trump’s tax returns: “Donald Trump has been very clear, I mean when he was sitting right here, he said, ‘I pay low taxes because I don't want to pay high taxes.’ Is there a bombshell there? Does it matter for Trump? Who…
ABC Slams Romney’s ‘Bizarre’ Taxes Attack on Trump
The journalists at Good Morning America on Thursday mocked Mitt Romney for his “bizarre” accusation that Donald Trump might have a tax “bombshell.” In 2012, however, ABC touted reporters their own role in forcing then-Republican presidential candidate Romney to talk about his taxes.
Networks Make Oscars About Race, Ignore Black Actors’ Successes
The controversy over the racial makeup of this Sunday’s Oscars has consumed the attention of the national media. ABC, CBS and NBC evening news shows have done 21 stories on the #OscarsSoWhite issue this year, never once even asking whether the results are a scandal.
An Economist study of the number of minority awards questioned the very premise of the complaints, stating: “our analysis of film…
AP Twice Fails to Tag Convicted Calif. Senator Leland Yee as a Dem
The political career of California State Senator Leland Yee, a Democrat who had been running for Secretary of State, came to an abrupt end in March 2014 when the strident gun-control advocate was arrested and charged with "six counts of depriving the public of honest services and one count of conspiracy to traffic in guns without a license."
Last week, Yee, who pled guilty last year to "one…
ABC’s ‘Blackish’: Police are Thugs, Obama Almost ‘Stolen Hope’
The two week hiatus that ABC’s Blackish took from any discernible bias or controversy came to a sudden and violent end on Wednesday night, in an episode titled ‘Hope’.
Networks Hyped Perry Indictment in 2014; Silent on Dismissal
Political scandals make for juicy journalism, but apparently a politician being cleared of wrong doing isn’t even worth a mention. When the initial story of Rick Perry’s indictment broke in August 2014, ABC, CBS and NBC devoted 25 minutes in just two days to topic, speculating that the controversy could “end any chance” for Perry in 2016. But when Perry was cleared of any wrongdoing, all three…
Steve Kornacki, Cokie Roberts Boost Hillary in Gooey Vogue Profile
Vogue magazine published a typically gooey piece on Hillary Clinton in their March issue, typical because Vogue editor Anna Wintour has hosted two fundraisers for Hillary in this cycle, one in the Hamptons and one in Paris. Vogue writer Jonathan Van Meter interviewed only inside the Hillary bubble on this one, which included journalists like MSNBC’s Steve Kornacki and NPR’s Cokie Roberts.
Former Abortionist Reveals ‘Violent Reality’ of Abortion in New Vids
These are the videos the media don’t want the public to see, because they show abortion for what it is: the violent destruction of an unborn baby.
But that is precisely why Americans must watch them.
AP Howler: 'Demand For Housing Has Recovered' Since Recession
In the context of his pathetic writeup on the government's disappointing report on January new-home sales, Josh Boak at the Associated Press had the nerve to claim that "demand for housing has recovered over the course of the 6 ½-year recovery from the recession."
Wow. Who knew that the industry has made it all the way back to an acceptable level at long last? The obvious answer to that question…
Maddow Producer: Obama a ‘Pragmatic Technocrat,’ Not a ‘Crazy Liberal’
Hardly anyone would dispute the validity of the term “small-government conservative,” but “big-government liberal” is a horse of a different color, believes Steve Benen, a producer for MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show. Benen claims that while right-wingers’ preference for small government is ideologically driven, “progressives” such as President Obama look at size-of-government issues in practical…
Tim Cook: FBI Goof Complicated San Bernardino iPhone Investigation
In an interview aired tonight on ABC's World News Tonight, Apple CEO Tim Cook told anchor David Muir that it was FBI incompetence that essentially led to the San Bernardino's county-issued iPhone to be locked up and its data inaccessible. What's more, lamented Cook, he learned about the court order, like the rest of the country, from the media rather than directly from the FBI.
