Friday’s New York Times led with the important Supreme Court ruling outlawing race-based "affirmative action" programs at Harvard University and the University of North Carolina, with wide-ranging ramifications both in college and the workplace. The paper’s SCOTUS beat reporter Adam Liptak was petulant in defeat, seeing a delegitimized Supreme Court but also perhaps accidentally…

Wow.

Joy Reid, the eponymous host of MSNBC's The ReidOut, welcomed The Nation’s justice correspondent Elie Mystal onto her Friday show to recap the week’s Supreme Court decisions and naturally, incendiary hot takes soon followed including that Justice Clarence Thomas is a “mutilated version of a black justice” who is his wife’s puppet.

Jim Caviezel doesn’t read off the Hollywood script on the promotional circuit.

Laws are supposed to conform to the Constitution, but the Saturday edition of ABC’s Good Morning America thought the relationship was reversed as it described the Supreme Court’s ruling upholding the First Amendment, free speech, and religious liberty as a carve out of anti-discrimination law.

New York Times columnist David Brooks and Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart agreed on Friday’s PBS NewsHour that the Supreme Court’s ruling that the First Amendment protects a Christian web designer from having to create a website for same-sex weddings is “poison” for society.

From the very moment President George H. W. Bush nominated Thomas to the Court on July 1, 1991, journalists employed nasty and often racist language to denigrate Thomas as unfit to replace Justice Thurgood Marshall, whose retirement had created the vacancy that needed to be filled.

Jonathan Capehart, the fill-in host for Thursday evening’s The Last Word With Lawrence O’Donnell on MSNBC, reacted to the morning’s news of the Supreme Court’s affirmative action case by launching personal attacks on the justices who had voted against it. He especially condemned their race and political ideologies as reasons that they had voted the way that they did.

CBS Mornings and ABC’s Good Morning America (GMA) offered dissenting opinions on the Supreme Court’s Affirmative Action ruling Friday morning under the guise of objective journalism. CBS’s Tony Dokoupil strategized about avoiding the Court’s ruling by including race in essays, and Prairie View A&M University president Ruth Simmons likened the ruling to Plessy vs.…

Just as they did on Thursday morning, the major broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC each broke in Friday morning for the final Supreme Court cases of the session, which were President Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan (Biden v. Nebraska) and a free speech case involving Christian web designer and LGBTQ individuals (303 Creative LLC v. Elenis). 

Since the last NewsBusters Podcast, three major rulings have come down from the U.S. Supreme Court: affirmative action, free speech, and student loan forgiveness. Your managing editor Curtis Houck and I discuss how the liberal media shrieked in horror at the prospect of fair admissions processes, free speech for the religious, and President Biden getting his underhanded campaign ploy trounced…

Friday’s Morning Joe took to bemoaning the US Supreme Court’s decision to end affirmative action policies at Harvard and the University of North Carolina. MSNBC legal analyst Joyce Vance provided a bizarre criticism of the decision: seemingly arguing that minority students were literally incapable of writing essays about facing racial diversity.

Vance repeated the traditional…

The World Economic Forum’s summer conference closed, but its dystopian artificial intelligence (AI) plans for the future continue. And those AI plans ignore the inherent risks and threats of the technology.
