'The View': Barrett Hearings Reveal Limbaugh-Like 'White Male Panic'

Monday on The View, the co-hosts panicked in predicting Supreme Court Justice nominee Amy Coney Barrett would outlaw abortion and gay marriage and also defended Democratic attacks on her faith. At the same time that they worried the court was becoming more conservative, they also endorsed Joe Biden adding seats or “packing” the court with more liberal justices.

Univision: Mike Pence Is Garbage, ‘Good Luck, Kamala!’

Mike Pence is trash. At least that’s what you heard loud and clear if you were watching last Sunday´s Al Punto, on Univision. Just four days after the only debate between vice presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Mike Pence, Univision anchor Jorge Ramos gave a free hand to his “comic” sidekick, César Muñoz, to verbalize the insult, albeit mollified within the lyrics of a song…

NBC: Here’s Everything Dems Want You to Know About Barrett Hearing

Ahead of the start of the confirmation hearing for Supreme Court Nominee Amy Coney Barrett on Monday, NBC’s Today show made sure that it would recite every single Democratic Party talking point in order to manipulate people into viewing the proceeding negatively. From warning about Barrett’s “devout Catholic faith” to claiming she would take away the health care of millions, the…

CNN's Phillip Dismisses Court-Packing: 'Random Idea' From Trump Team

CNN, the network who’s never afraid to aggressively criticize President Trump with snarky condescending commentary and chyrons, was strangely soft on Biden’s blunder. On CNN Newsroom Monday, CNN anchor Poppy Harlow and her two guests Olivia Troye and Abby Phillip seemed puzzled, rather than troubled by Biden's alarming comments saying voters didn't deserve to know whether he'd pack…

Weird CNN: At Hearings, ACB Will 'Portray' Herself as Mother, Wife

A CNN reporter says that at her confirmation hearings, Amy Coney Barrett will "portray" herself as a mother of seven, as a wife, and as a justice who will be in line with the late, "staunchly-conservative" Justice Antonin Scalia. Reporting from Iowa, CNN reporter Jeff Zeleny interviews a man who says he voted for Trump in 2016, but won't do so now because he finds him "despicable."

CBS Alert! Barrett Would 'Cement' 'Conservative' 'Right' Turn

The journalists at CBS were clearly spooked as they opened coverage of the Supreme Court hearings on Monday. They repeatedly warned of just how “conservative” Amy Coney Barrett really is and that the judge would “cement” and “solidify” a right-leaning court for decades.

NY Times Climate Reporter Links ‘Fossil Fuels and White Supremacy’

New York Times climate and energy reporter Hiroko Tabuchi linked the oil and gas industry (which she covers) to white supremacy in a since-deleted tweet which read: "I’ve been thinking a lot about fossil fuels and white supremacy recently. Almost every single oil executive, lobbyist, spokesperson I’ve dealt with is white and male. It’s difficult not to see a link."

Twitter Flags, Disables Some Options on Trump Tweet About COVID-19

Yet another of President Donald Trump’s tweets has fallen victim to Twitter’s endless battle against information that the platform deems “misleading.” Twitter placed an interstitial, or filter, over the tweet, which stated, “A total and complete sign off from White House Doctors yesterday. That means I can’t get it (…

Humorless NY Times: Babylon Bee ‘No Kind of Principled Conservatism'

New York Times reporter Emma Goldberg profiled the Christian-oriented satirical website The Babylon Bee on Monday and revealed the liberal media can’t get their brains around the concept of conservative humor. The entire story is couched in humorless suspicion: Nicole Hemmer, a research scholar at Columbia University, sees the appeal of the Bee’s comedic sensibility as in line with…

Dan Rather Babble: The Media's Problem with Trump Is Too Much Fairness

Watching the latest Reliable Sources can seem like a never-ending, very repetitive nightmare, where CNN host Brian Stelter is bringing on disgraced liar Dan Rather again for yet another exploration of how President Trump is mentally unstable, and how the press must get him removed from office like a nasty boil. Rather said that he's "a little bit concerned with the press under Trump,…

NYT's Thomas Friedman REALLY Wants This Line to Catch on (It Won't)

Thomas Friedman of the New York Times has developed quite the habit of pointing out President Trump’s supposed lack of shame. Over the past year he’s turned it into something of a catchphrase, busting it out at every conceivable opportunity. It’s unclear why he keeps recycling such a low-impact slogan — perhaps he’s hoping it’ll catch on and others will start repeating it? So far…
