NPR, NY Times Can't Find Failed Socialism in Venezuela

We have noted many times how the media cannot manage to bring the word "socialism" into the dialogue as Venezuela crumbles into ruin. On NPR's Fresh Air on Tuesday, substitute host Dave Davies chatted for 37 minutes with Nicholas Casey, the "Andes bureau chief" of the New York Times. They talked about about 3,800 words of transcript before the S-word came out, and then it was just informational…

Liberal Fox Drama: Taking Away Hormones ‘Like Taking Away Existence’

If you thought the April 5 episode of Fox’s Proven Innocent, titled “The Struggle For Stonewall,” complete with actual footage of LGBT pride parades and rallies was going to be virtue signaling, you’d be correct. One of the very first lines bashes conservatives. As Madeline (Rachelle Lefevre) and her investigator Bodie (Vincent Kartheiser) are walking through a LGBT-friendly neighborhood, Bodie,…

The Nation Defends Radical Athletes' 'Social Uplift'

For many Americans, social justice warriors in sports uniforms have disrespected our great nation and turned them away from sports. The Nation's Dave Zirin has made a slobbering career of apologizing for and glorifying these malcontents. He's written books on 1968 Olympic protester John Carlos and radical NFL player Michael Bennett. He staunchly defends Colin Kaepernick and others who politicize…

MSNBC Contributor: White Reporters Kissing Buttigieg 'Butt'

On Joy Reid's show, MSNBC contributor Jason Johnson says "everybody's been kissing [Pete Buttigieg's] butt, too. It's amazing to me. It's because—let's be candid. Most of the reporters are white. And they're looking for a white guy who makes them feel good about themselves."

Stelter Misleads Viewers, Pretends Trump Wants to Abolish Judiciary

CNN’s Brian Stelter tried his darnedest to frighten viewers on Sunday by falsely implying that the President wanted to abolish one of the three fundamental branches of American government. The Reliable Sources host played two out-of-context clips of the President saying “we have to get rid of judges,” — but at no point did he explain that the President likely had been referring specifically to…

Dan Rather & Co. Rerun Fake News on Trump's 'Animals' Quote

Timothy Meads at Townhall pointed out that liberal journalists shouldn't be falling for old hoaxes.....like the claim that Donald Trump called all immigrants "animals." But there was Dan Rather, and Joy Reid, and Glenn Thrush, and Ana Navarro spreading a badly distorted quote.

'Abortion Jill' Filipovic Rips High Court on 'Barbarous' Death Penalty

Feminist Jill Filipovic usually draws notice by fervently promoting abortion. So it was strange that she came out hard against the death penalty in a CNN.com op-ed on Wednesday. The headline was "This Supreme Court ruling is exceptionally cruel." Convicted murderer Russell Bucklew is being executed by lethal injection in Missouri, which would be quite painful and drawn-out. (Many would ask the…

Chelsea Handler: 'I Had a Midlife Identity Crisis’ When Trump Won

Friday’s edition of Real Time With Bill Maher contained the usual amount of anti-Trump venom one would expect from the HBO program.

Sulzbergers Whimper That Murdochs Took Their Lunch and Ate It

The Sulzberger dynasty that publishes The New York Times does not like the Murdoch dynasty that runs the News Corporation and Fox News. They charge the Murdochs with "destabilizing democracy" around the world. What this really says is that the Times has lost its influence, and Fox News is on the rise.

Ali Velshi Beats a Word to Death While Yelling at Howard Schultz

MSNBC's Ali Velshi seems to love the word "bifurcated" since he couldn't stop yelling it at possible presidential contender Howard Schultz on Friday.  Velshi kept repeating "bifurcated" over and over and over again as if it was a weapon to be used to attack the former Starbucks CEO for the high crime of possibly splitting the anti-Trump vote in 2020.

NPR Swoons: Wasn't Obama the 'Ultimate Cult of Personality Candidate?'

Top Obama aide Valerie Jarrett is plugging a new memoir, and in 12 minutes and two interview segments on All Things Considered, NPR had just one challenging question for her: what about this touchy-Biden issue? When they turned to the wider stage of Campaign 2020, it sounded like a Democrat precinct chat, and NPR anchor Audie Cornish seemed to worry that none of the contenders would match the…

NYT Critic Scott: Anti-Bonnie and Clyde Film Is 'Vengeful, Murderous'

A new Netflix offering, The Highwaymen, is the story of the murderous bank-robber duo Bonnie and Clyde, with a twist: The tale is told from the other side. It’s advertised as “the untold true story of the legendary detectives who brought down Bonnie and Clyde,” with the lawmen played by Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson. It debuted on Netflix last week, and the film put New York Times movie…

Liberal Comedy Central Cheers Its Diversity (Just Not Ideologically)

Two key players at Comedy Central are taking a public victory lap. Sarah Babineau and Jonas Larsen oversee the network’s series development slate. They chatted with Vulture.com on a number of topics this week. And, most surprisingly, just how gosh darn diverse the channel is in 2019. The latter seemed curious. Vulture.com pressed onward, oblivious to an ideological elephant tap dancing in the…
