NYT Whining Trump Won't Play Dictator: 'Ceding...Leadership' on Virus
Make up your mind! The New York Times, which has criticized Donald Trump for wanting to play dictator in his response to the coronavirus pandemic, is now criticizing him for “ceding any semblance of national leadership on the pandemic” on Saturday’s front page: “Right-Wing Protests Find Megaphone in Trump.” Reporters Michael Shear and Sarah Mervosh stated: "His stark departure from the more…
Remember When Lady Gaga Joined Biden for MeToo PSA?
Hollywood loves nothing more than teaming with politicians to send a message. Stars spent eight full years coordinating with the Obama administration on everything from volunteerism to the calamitous ObamaCare rollout. That sense of unity disappeared like so many Thanos victims once a Republican entered the White House in 2017.
FLASHBACK: Remember THIS Biden Blunder? The Press Hope You Don't
Journalists in the news media are used to covering for Joe Biden’s gaffes. In the spring of 2020, the networks have been maintaining silence over accusations of sexual abuse against the ex-vice president by a former staffer. But considering that both Biden and China are very much in the news these days, we thought it might be instructive to look back at another Biden Blunder. On August 21, 2011,…
Williams Wails: Trump Stoking ‘Populist Prairie Fire’ Against Dem Govs
On MSNBC Friday afternoon, co-anchors Brian Williams and Katy Tur denounced President Trump for urging some states less impacted by the coronavirus to gradually reopen. Williams claimed Trump was trying to stoke “populist prairie fire” against Democratic governors “who so far have been adept in handling this virus.”
MSNBC Cues Pelosi to Spew Trump 'Hoax' Lie, Claim Trump 'Cost Lives'
MSNBC ducked out of the Friday night briefing for a typical DNC-style softball interview with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Republicans get the third degree, Democrats get the "What would you like to say about that?" Melber started by asking Pelosi to "walk us through" what's going on with the small-business loan program that's running out of funds. Then Melber cued up the Speaker to lie that the…
Media Are Still Peddling One of the Great Myths of the Depression
Former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld once cautioned newcomers to learn from those who held the same positions before. “Try to make original mistakes rather than needlessly repeating theirs,” he said. Harry Kazianis should have taken Rumsfeld’s advice before writing this annoying paragraph on April 2: "The rapidly worsening pandemic is shaping up as the defining challenge of the Trump…
Conflict of Interest: 'Queer Nerd' NBC Reporter Supports LGBT Lawsuits
Encouraged by media supporters, this week LGBT legal guns went to court to launch legal proceedings aimed at re-defining gender. They filed suit against two new Idaho laws banning transgender males from competing on women's public school teams and from changing their gender on their birth certificates. There was little neutrality visible in media accounts of the lawsuits, particularly with the…
PBS NewsHour Finally Discusses Sexual-Assault Charge Against Biden
On Friday night, more than three weeks after Tara Reade shared her allegation that Joe Biden sexually assaulted her on Capitol Hill in 1993, the PBS NewsHour arrived on the story by interviewing reporter Lisa Lerer, one of the authors of the belated New York Times piece on Reade. Lerer couldn't spin quickly enough away from any comparison of the Biden allegations to the unsubstantiated rape…
MSNBC's Jeremy Bash Urges Trump To Stop 'Scapegoating' China
Amidst the backdrop of the U.S. government looking into whether the coronavirus originated in a Wuhan lab and China revising its official death count, MSNBC's Jeremy Bash joined Andrea Mitchell on her Friday show to urge the administration to stop scapegoating and denigrating China with "xenophobic rhetoric."
Acosta, Blitzer TRASH Americans Weary of Lockdowns, Cover for Lefties
Liberal media elites sure don’t seem to have a problem with life-crippling stay-at-home orders stretching through 2020 into 2021 and 2022, do they? On Friday’s Situation Room, CNN host Wolf Blitzer and chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta griped about how President Trump would not only acknowledge the mental toll that they’ve taken on the American people, but not denouncing those voicing…
CW Drama: Priest Justifies Sex With Parishioner, 'We're Only Human'
Unfortunately, it wasn’t sordid enough for The CW’s Dynasty to include a scene with a priest and a parishioner kissing last week. This week’s episode, airing April 17, includes the two consummating their relationship.
'The Blacklist' Criminalizes Gun Manufacturers
The only thing less fun than being stuck in shutdown is being stuck in shutdown with shows like The Blacklist. The latest episode of the NBC drama not only lectures us about gun issues but does so through the mouths of criminals. What else can we expect after the show’s last grisly attempt at addressing political issues?
NYTimes Sudden Respect for Michael Savage – Tearing Down Rush, Hannity
Friday’s New York Times offered its “strange new respect” to perhaps its most unlikely recipient of all: Right-wing radio host Michael Savage, now a medical expert. Savage has been criticized for his sometimes-vulgar on-air shock-jockery. But now that he’s shifted targets, and using his epidemiology-related degrees to attack his “uneducated” conservative rivals Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity…
Blitzer, Friedman: Mentally Ill Trump Will Cause More COVID-19 Deaths
On Friday, CNN’s Situation Room host Wolf Blitzer illustrated why, if he were still a journalist of decency, facts, and integrity, he wouldn’t have gone about an interview with New York Times columnist Tom Friedman the way he did. Instead, Blitzer wondered if President Trump would be to blame for deaths of Americans who have protested economically, mentally, and physically crippling stay-at-home…
