UPDATE: 2021 Fredo Gets SCHOOLED By 2020 Fredo on Wuhan Lab Theory

As NewsBusters documented last night, CNN Prime Time host Chris “Fredo” Cuomo has been trying to play dumb with COVID by suggesting GOP focus on the Wuhan Institute of Virology last year was racist. And he was at it again Wednesday night, claiming theories about the lab were “a newer notion,” and that “the government had not been open to the lab theory.” But inconveniently for Fredo,…

Attacks on Cops Blamed on White Supremacists in CBS's S.W.A.T.

Finally, a cop show highlighted violence committed against police officers by radical activists. Unfortunately for viewers, the show pretended that the radical activists trying to kill, maim and injure cops are really white supremacists who frame innocent BLM-type protesters.

Nets Skip Sex Offenders at the Border, Polls Show Narrative Sundered

When it came to immigration, President Biden’s left flank was completely covered by the broadcast networks that brushed the worst-than-ever border crisis under the rug. But as new Fox News polling showed on Wednesday, Biden’s weak handling of the crisis was making an edge rush right and breaking through the narrative. All of this came as ABC, CBS, and NBC skipped new reporting on how Border…

USA Today Retroactively Changes Op-Ed to Use Woke Trans Language

Serious ethical question for any newspaper not named USA Today: If you accept an op-ed from an author representing one side of a highly controversial issue, is it right to change that writer’s words to conform with the language her opponents prefer?
