COMICAL New York Magazine: The Media Are Worse on Biden Than Trump?

Most Americans have looked at the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan and considered it an embarrassment to America.

Did Stephen Colbert Just Have His Worst Week … Ever?

The media adore Stephen Colbert, regurgitating his anti-Trump material and making sure never to fact-check his monologues. It's good to be king...until this week.

Telemundo, Univision Target Kids' Fears In Push for Mask Mandates

Viewers of Spanish-speaking media in the U.S. have come to expect their daily dose of COVID panic porn. But the new practice of fixating on children as experts on the subject of mask safety, shoving mics into their innocent faces, can only be regarded as a new low in news reporting.

Wrong! PolitiFact Flags Daily Wire Biden-Mocking Meme as 'Half True'

PolitiFact just can't avoid the chance to defend Joe Biden, even if the "facts" at hand are pretty much true.
