MSNBC Defends Wright's 'God Damn America!'—Critics Miss the 'Nuance'

When it comes to attempting to explain away the unexplainable, nothing's more hackneyed than claiming the offensive statement was "taken out of context." To be sure, Jason Johnson trotted out that excuse while guest-hosting MSNBC's AM Joy Sunday morning. But give Eddie Glaude credit. The frequent MSNBC guest came up with a somewhat more original excuse. Critics of Wright's damnation…

NY Times Miami Chief Still Lashing Out at Latinos for Trump in Florida

ABC Presses Biden Chief of Staff for Investigations of Trump, Admin

After the liberal media spent years accusing the Department of Justice under President Trump of just being a tool for a corrupt president to investigate and prosecute political enemies (which it never was), ABC chief anchor George Stephanopoulos was demanding such of the incoming Biden administration. During a Sunday interview with Biden Chief of Staff Ron Klain on This Week, the…

Joe Biden Loses His Cool Again with CBS Producer Asking a Question

CBS News producer Bo Erickson was scolded again by Joe Biden for impertinent questions. It happened on Friday as some members of the press were let in to see Biden chatting with Democrat congressional leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer. As Biden aides can be heard yelling at reporters to vacate, Erickson politely asked "Mr. Biden, the COVID Task Force said it’s safe for students to be in…

2020: A Catastrophic Failure For Spanish-Language Media

To hear it from the nation’s Spanish-language media, 2020 was supposed to be the year that Latinos, having displaced African-Americans as the nation’s largest ethnic minority, asserted their power and at long last brought change to the country. But the exact opposite happened, and the media outlets that heralded this wave have so far avoided serious scrutiny.

Sharpton: Vaccine Might Be Racial Hoax Like Tuskegee Syphilis Study

On his MSNBC show on Saturday night, Al Sharpton said that once a coronavirus vaccine becomes available, black leaders will need to be: "convinced ourselves that the vaccine is fine to take or that it is not something that we’ve experienced in our own history in the black community like the Tuskegee experiment." Sharpton was referring to the infamous Tuskegee study in which black men were left…

Nate Silver Blames Midwest Republicans for Polling Industry Failures

One of the big takeaways from the 2020 election cycle was that the polling industry had no idea what it was doing and was gaslighting the American people with lies about a massive groundswell for Democrats at all levels. And few in the polling industry has the ears of more liberal prognosticators that Nate Silver, the founder of analytical firm FiveThirtyEight. In his Sunday appearance on ABC’…

Planning to See Family for Thanksgiving? NBC Has Contempt for You

Despite the science tells us that the coronavirus has an over 99 percent survival rate, the liberal media were still fearmongering and telling people to remain cut off from family, and not celebrate Thanksgiving. And for those who defied them, NBC’s Sunday Today couldn’t stand them, showing open contempt. On top of that, they were giving people ridiculous orders to isolate themselves…

Politico Criticizes Parler for Lack of Censorship

Such is the era we live in that we are now being treated to the absurd spectacle of supposed journalists coming out strongly in favor of censorship. One such journalist is Politico's White House reporter Tina Nguyen, who on Sunday castigated the Twitter alternative, Parler, for their lack of censorship.

Amanpour and Guest Blame Fox News for 'Monstrous' Climate 'Denial'

Journalists despise government efforts to "investigate media power" -- unless it's Rupert Murdoch. On Friday's Amanpour & Co. on PBS and CNN International, host Christiane Amanpour provided an unchallenged forum to former Australian prime minister Kevin Rudd to complain about Rupert Murdoch's influence on issues like global warming, and to talk up an effort he is pushing to…

Brian Williams Gives Free Air Time to Ad Attacking GOP 'Traitors'

MSNBC: Thanksgiving is 'Colonizer Christmas,' Colonists Were Cannibals

For purposes of encouraging people not to congregate for Thanksgiving, MSNBC trashes the holiday. AM Joy guest host Jason Johnson says, "I know in my family, I know several people who call it "Colonizer Christmas," because they don't really like the idea of what Thanksgiving represents." And MSNBC contributor and New Yorker writer Jelani Cobb says that "anthropological research suggests" that…

LAME: NYT Goes Cynical, Hostile Against Pompeo, Israel

The New York Times atavistic hostility to Israel shows through in Friday’s piece, “Pompeo Trip to Israel Delivers Parting Gifts, Delighting Hard-Liners.” Neither reporter David Halbfinger and Isabel Kershner can be accused of being sympathetic to Israel, yet this latest entry is especially hostile and cynical in its treatment of what is possibly U.S. Secretary of State’s Mike Pompeo…

Hey, Remember When Media Outlets Were Concerned About Vote Fraud?

The headline from The New York Times said this: ”Trump Targets Michigan in His Ploy to Subvert the Election. In a brazen step, the president invited Republican state leaders in Michigan to the White House as he and his allies try to prevent the state from certifying Joe Biden’s clear victory there.”
