NYTimes Praises 'Eulogist and Comforter' Clinton vs. Detonating Trump
Monday’s “Political Memo” from the New York Times’ Mark Leibovich was a more-solemn-than-usual take from the generally snarky Leibovich, but still in the service of the Democratic Party and in opposition to President Trump. The online headline: “Trump Turns Shared American Experiences Into Us vs. Them.” He began by noting the passing without much notice of the 25th anniversary of the bombing of…

Amid Univision Layoffs, Jorge Ramos Slanders 'Reopen' Movement
Univision’s senior anchor has once again used his privileged platform on Facebook Watch in order to smear Americans who think differently from him.

CNN Reporter Pens Insane Climate Change Letter to Newborn Son
Leave it to a CNN correspondent to exploit his own son’s birth to push his eco-freakish politics. CNN correspondent Bill Weir’s piece, headlined “To my son, born in the time of coronavirus and climate change,” dripped with propaganda bashing the Bible and promoting Greta Thunberg. Weir wrote to his newborn son: “Against all odds you were conceived in a lighthouse, born during a pandemic and will…

Will Media Object to Pelosi Telling Tapper to 'Just Calm Down'?
The liberal media love to complain when they feel that President Trump has disrespected them. So how, if at all, will the MSM react to Nancy Pelosi telling Jake Tapper to "just calm down" when he asked about her failure to get state and local funding in the latest bailout bill? Pelosi has been all over television getting softball questions. So when Tapper asked if she made a "tactical mistake,"…

MSNBC Gives Moore a Forum to Connect Climate to Corona 'Warning'
On Sunday's Velshi show, MSNBC host Ali Velshi provided liberal film makers Michael Moore and Jeff Gibbs a forum to plug their new film, Planet of the Humans, which promotes an alarmist view that humans are damaging the planet, and actually hits environmental groups from the left, charging that they do not go far enough. Moore suggested that the coronavirus pandemic is a "warning from Mother…

ABC Hypes Trump's 2020 Chances Getting 'Decimated by This Coronavirus'
While they are rightly spending a lot of time covering the coronavirus crisis, the media were still political entities. ABC proved that fact during Sunday’s This Week when three of their journalists (chief anchor George Stephanopoulos, chief White House correspondent Jon Karl, and senior congressional correspondent Mary Bruce) hyped how President Trump’s campaign messaging took a massive hit and…

Debacle for NY Times: Story on Ousted HHS Director Crumbles Quickly
It’s been a long time since the New York Times actually lived up to its motto of being “All the News That’s Fit to Print.” These days, the paper can instead be defined as “All the News That Promotes Our Liberal Agenda.” That view was reinforced on Wednesday, when a report claimed that Rick Bright, the former top vaccine expert at the Department of Health and Human Services, was fired for opposing…

CNN Abandons Tara Reade After One Story; Network Sunday Shows Skip
CNN offered one single story on a Saturday afternoon on Tara Reade’s allegation of sexual assault against Joe Biden – soon after NewsBusters unearthed a video clip of a woman she says is her mother calling into CNN saying a “prominent senator” had wronged her daughter. CNN’s Sunday shows went back to ignoring the story today – there was nothing from Jake Tapper on State of the Union, or from…

Bozell Statement: CNN Is Colluding with Biden to Bury Tara Reade Story
First it was omission, now it is outright collusion with the Biden presidential campaign. First, CNN kept hidden their own footage that links Biden to a sexual assault. CNN would have succeeded in keeping that hidden but for the MRC that also had, and released, the footage. After being exposed and forced to report on the story they had for years, within a day CNN has now taken it down again,…

Conceited CNN host Jake Tapper was supposedly a journalist, but has proven himself to be a liberal activist.

Although, Dr. Deborah Birx of the Coronavirus Task Force did put him in his place for trying to continue…
