Editor’s Pick: Fox on WashPost Backtrack After Terrorist Gets Check

On Thursday, Fox News media reporter Joseph Wulfsohn covered how “Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler offered a mea culpa of sorts after having rewarded two Pinocchios to Sen.

CNN’s 1/6 Special: Fox News ‘Relishing the Idea’ of a Civil War

For years now, the liberal media have been telling us the county is in a “cold civil war” or a “neo-civil war” because people and policies they don’t like have popularity. But according to CNN’s Anderson Cooper during the network’s January 6 primetime special (Live From the Capitol: January 6th, One Year Later) it was the folks at “other networks” – aka Fox News – that were “relishing…

The Washington Post is going to have to cope. Its dismissal of Sen. Tom Cotton’s (R-AR) warnings about the Boston Bomber getting paid under President Joe Biden’s gargantuan stimulus bill have resurfaced to haunt the rag.

MSM Stories About Jan 6 Pipe Bomber Skip Incredibly Obvious Question

Journalists are displaying an incredible lack of curiosity for not asking the FBI about why they haven't used a certain investigative technique to track down the identity of the January 6 pipe bomber.

MSNBC's Wallace Crew Praises Cheneys and Rove for Their 1/6 Stance

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, per the ancient adage. And thus, for their condemnations of Donald Trump and the January 6th riot, Liz and Dick Cheney and Karl Rove have become the friends of the left. But for denizens of the liberal media, any praise of that trio— and in particular Dick Cheney and Rove—risks alienating their liberal base, which loathes them. And so it was that on Nicolle…

Column: Radical Raskin's 'Unthinkable' Suicide Milking

As the establishment media solemnly marked January 6 with all of the rehearsed Democrat talking points about democracy hanging by a thread, one man best represents the liberal media’s relentless political marketing. It’s radical Rep. Jamie Raskin, who has a new book that came out two days before the anniversary called Unthinkable, conflating the Capitol riot with the suicide of his…

NBC's Lester Holt Plays Therapist With Speaker Pelosi In 1/6 Interview

NBC News has always been in the tank for the Democratic Party, and Thursday was no different. On NBC Nightly News during an exclusive interview with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on the topic of the anniversary of the January 6th Capitol Hill riots, Lester Holt gave her a fluffy softball interview.

Trouble In Liberal Land! NPR Staffers Wail About Diversity 'Crisis'

Don't look now, but National Public Radio is having a bit of a "diversity" crisis -- as in racial diversity. NPR has never had a diversity of viewpoints. Washington Post media reporters Paul Farhi and Elahe Isadi pointed out that there's an internal furor over departing NPR stars Noel King, Lourdes Garcia-Navarro, and now evening host Audie Cornish.

CBS PANICS Over Michigan Enacting Voter ID Laws, Ending Vote By Mail

With 2022 being a midterm election year, and historical election precedent not being on their side, CBS decided to run a segment warning about Republicans in Michigan enacting voter identification laws as well as banning the Michigan secretary of state from sending vote by mail applications to registered voters unsolicited.

The Second Half: CBS/NBC Give Jan. 6 Over 80% Evening News Airtime

As NewsBusters documented Thursday morning, the anniversary of January 6 was their Super Bowl as the broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) spent nearly 90-combined-minutes obsessing over the riot at the Capitol like their political careers depended on it. That infatuation cared over through half-time (to stick with the football nomenclature) to their evening newscasts where CBS and NBC each…

WashPost Touts Development of Algorithm to ‘Prevent Another Jan. 6’

Hysteria proclaiming Jan. 6, 2021, as a MAGA-fueled “insurrection” against “democracy” is strong as ever one year later. Government agencies, a university and nonprofits are all coming together to develop supposed “political violence”-predicting algorithms in response. That plan could prove seriously damaging to free speech online.

CNN Rushes to Defend Outrageous Soft-on-Crime Policies of Manhattan DA

What CNN did Thursday morning was a crime—against good journalism. In a New Day segment discussing the soft-on-crime policies of the new Manhattan DA, CNN focused on the less controversial aspects of his policies, while failing to disclose the truly outrageous ones.

INSANE: ABC Historian Compares Biden Speech to the Gettysburg Address

Continuing Thursday’s theme of news organizations allowing all nutty comparisons to fly on the anniversary of the January 6 riot, ABC News presidential historian Mark Updegrove proclaimed after President Biden’s “powerful” speech that it belonged alongside those from “FDR after Pearl Harbor,” “Lyndon Johnson after Selma,” “George W. Bush after 9/11,” and, most egregiously, Abraham Lincoln’s…

Chuck Todd: ‘Lincoln’s Election Was More Accepted’ Than Biden’s

The cavalcade of leftist media idiocy regarding the one year anniversary of the January 6th Capitol Hill riot reached a new low on MSNBC Thursday afternoon as anchors Chuck Todd and Andrea Mitchell ridiculously wailed that current divisions in the country were worse than during the Civil War. Todd went so far as to utter the historically illiterate nonsense that “Lincoln’s election was more…
