Fall of Kabul: Nets Praised Biden’s Order to Withdraw from Afghanistan

As of the writing of this piece, there were reports that Afghan President Ashraf Ghani had fled the country, leaving the capital city of Kabul to advancing Taliban fighters with no military resistance and Americans still scrambling to get out. But back in April, the liberal broadcast networks were tripping over themselves to laud President Biden’s decision to do away with former President…

NBC's Engel on Afghan Collapse: 'I’m Not Shocked At All'

Richard Engel has described himself as "basically a pacifist." But when it comes to telling it like it is regarding the Afghanistan fiasco, NBC News' chief foreign correspondent is taking no prisoners today. When on his MSNBC show this morning, Ali Velshi asked Engel whether it is surprising "not that it is happening, as much as how fast it is happening," Engel flatly rejected the notion. "No…

On his Saturday show on MSNBC, Ali Velshi welcomed Prof. Cristina Beltran and NPR/PBS veteran Ray Suarez to discuss the latest threat to democracy: Republican redistricting. Beltran said it has an "ugly logic of removal...I think they're trying to disappear a lot of Americans politically."

ABC Defends Afghan Disaster, NBC Disappointed It’ll 'Haunt' Biden

At any moment, Kabul would fall, the Taliban would return to running Afghanistan, and the victories in America’s 20-year-long war would be largely washed away. All of that was due to President Biden’s decision to hastily pull out of the country and leave civilians to be oppressed. Yet, on their Sunday morning newscast, ABC’s Good Morning America ran damage control for Biden by…

NYT Skips UK Virus News, Rips Boris, ‘Tory Sleaze’ That Broke No Rules

The New York Times never misses a chance to go after Prime Minister Boris Johnson, leader of the Conservative Party in Great Britain. Saturday’s piece by Stephen Castle, “Cronyism and Profiteering Allegations Roil Britain’s Conservative Party,” told a familiar liberal media story of “Tory sleaze.”

WHOOPS: Jen Rubin Spreads Screwed-Up COVID Math by Texas Tribune

Leftists like Jennifer Rubin of the WashPost were all too eager to spread a wildly exaggerated claim from the left-leaning Texas Tribune that 5,800 children in Texas were hospitalized with COVID over seven days in the beginning of August. That was way off. The Tribune corrected: "In actuality, 783 children were admitted to Texas hospitals with COVID-19 between July 1 and Aug. 9 of this year…

NYTimes Denies Biology, Math in Crazy Covid Reports: ‘Pregnant People'

The New York Times released two Covid-related reports that, taken together, denied both math and science. After over a year of smug insistence about “following the science” on Covid, the Times used the anti-biological, transgender-approved term “pregnant people,” as if considering as a possibility the biological impossibility of men getting pregnant. The original headline to the…

Media Ignore Antifa Assault on Christians

Antifa, the urban terrorists, brutally assaulted Christians who were praying in a Portland park Saturday and the media have almost totally ignored it. Dressed in black, with face coverings, the left-wing nihilists destroyed the sound system and assaulted the Evangelicals with pepper spray and projectiles.

Why We Won’t See ‘Andrew Cuomo: The Movie’

Hollywood loves ripping stories straight from the headlines. Law & Order thrives on this approach. Matt Damon’s Stillwater recycles the tragic tale of Amanda Knox. Showtime’s The Comey Rule essentially retold a media narrative we watched in real time over the past few years.

Chris Cuomo UNDERMINED His Brother’s Accusers, But Trashed Kavanaugh

Andrew Cuomo resigned this week under the crushing weight of almost a dozen women accusing him of sexual abuse and harassment. Yet the Democratic governor's brother, CNN host Chris Cuomo, has NOT resigned from his network hosting job. Chris is merely on “vacation.” But although the CNN host destroyed all sorts of journalistic and moral norms by advising his brother on how to dismiss and…

Afghanistan: Scarborough Scoffs At Biden Aide's 'No Abandonment' Claim

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough scoffs at the claim by Biden's State Department spokesman who said of Afghanistan that "this is not abandonment. This is not an evacuation. This is not the wholesale withdrawal." That's "exactly what it is," retorts Scarborough. And retired Navy Admiral and Supreme Allied Commander Europe James Stavridis says calls the abrupt Biden withdrawal a "very dark moment…
