WashPost Warmly Welcomes Missouri's BLM Radical to 'The Squad'

On Wednesday, the splashy profile on the front of the Washington Post "Style" section was a sugary profile of the latest socialist radical to win a seat in the House of Representatives, Cori Bush of Missouri. She was a Black Lives Matter leader in Ferguson, but there's no troubling mention of rioting that destroyed businesses. Just feeling the pain of Cori getting her bullhorn stolen…

CNN, MSNBC Let Cuomo Slam Trump Admin, Skip Over Sex Harassment

On Monday afternoon, as New York Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo made appearances on both MSNBC and CNN to promote his call for restrictions on air travel to and from the United Kingdom. Neither network did much to push back against his claims, or to press him on any other of his personal scandals.

CNN—Obama: 'Progress, Trump: 'Step Back', Kamala: 'Thrilling'

On CNN's "New Day," Abby Phillip, supposedly a "correspondent," described the election of Barack Obama as "progress" for America, whereas the election of Donald Trump was "a couple of steps back," with the "pendulum swinging" in the wrong direction. Phillip followed that bit of blatant liberal punditry by describing the prospective election of Kamala Harris as VP as "a thrilling moment."…

2020 Replay: The 12 Months of Sports Media Bias

In the first month of 2020, Fox Sports gave to us its rejection of pro-life Super Bowl ads – while accepting drag queens, social justice warriors and gun control.

Column: COVID Curtails the Comfort and Joy of Christmas Music

Way back on November 13, Washington D.C. radio station WASH-FM flipped the switch to its annual 24/7 Christmas music rotation. That’s about two weeks before the rest of America. After the severely limited year of 2020, it’s understandable more people would haul out the holly and get in the spirit early, but many on social media cried “No Christmas music until after Thanksgiving.” Then imagine…

On Wednesday's CBS This Morning, correspondent Mark Phillips devoted a full report to fretting that all the e-mailing and computer usage, as well as other ways people consume energy at home, is actually counterracting the environmental "silver lining" that liberals have tried to take comfort in during the pandemic as fewer people drive to work.

Boris-Hating NY Times Gloats Over UK Woes, Compares Brexit to COVID

The New York Times didn’t show much Christmas spirit when it likened the sudden stringent new Christmas-season corona restrictions put in place by U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson to Brexit. The paper has always been hostile to both Brexit (the 2016 popular vote that called for the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union) and conservative party leader Boris Johnson.…

'Merry Freaking Christmas': CNN Anchor's Hot Take on Trump Pardons

On CNN's New Day this morning, co-host John Berman felt free to say: "Merry Freaking Christmas." Berman did so for the purpose of scoring a cheap political point about Trump pardons. His notion was that, given the continuing wrangling over the Covid relief package, the unemployed and members of the armed services are unsure of when their relief or pay raises will be coming. But for…

Politico Hails Justin Trudeau's Mighty Beard, Mockery Ensues

Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau has been celebrated in American media as a socialist dreamboat, often compared in progressive sex appeal to our own Barack Obama.
