MSNBC Slams Graham for 'Victim Blaming' on Wild Rape-Train Allegations

Katy Tur's Viral GOP-Trashing Tweet on Dr. Ford Is Wrong -- Ooops
Becket Adams at the Washington Examiner reports on something I flagged on Twitter for the fact checkers like PolitiFact. MSNBC host Katy Tur claimed on Twitter that none of the Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee apologized to Ford for whatever pain coming forward caused her.

CNN Gives Sarsour Forum to Bash Conservatives Over Supreme Court
On New Day Saturday, liberal activist Linda Sarsour was given an unchallenged forum as a guest to rail against Brett Kavanaugh and the possibility of a conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court as CNN hosts Christi Paul and Victor Blackwell did not even bother to label her as a liberal activist.

CNN's Jeffrey Toobin Decries America as Sexist...What a Hypocrite!
CNN's legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin level revealed his hypocrisy on Wednesday's Anderson Cooper 360 when he decried America as more sexist (and racist) than is generally acknowledged. Toobin probably forgot his own sexist past as a deadbeat dad and his mistreatment of the mother of his born out of wedlock child. He only ended up paying the child support owed after the mother threatened to have his…

Jorge Ramos Still Doesn't Care About Puerto Rico
Jorge Ramos’ most recent op-ed on Puerto Rico proves he’s never really cared about Puerto Rico, except as something to point at in his endless war against Donald Trump or in his quixotic promotion of Puerto rican separatists.

USA Today's Brady: Keep Kavanaugh Away from Children
The smear of Judge Brett Kavanaugh widens. USA Today writer Erik Brady suggests the Supreme Court nominee stay off basketball courts while kids are around. Kavanaugh predicted this could happen, during Thursday's Senate Judicial Committee hearing. He said the taint of smear could result in the loss of his opportunity to volunteer as a youth coach again. Brady's pointed remarks proved the nominee…

A Different Approach? Univision Starts English Newscast
In an unlikely shift, Univision has launched a daily two-hour English-language newscast called UNews, carried on its sister Fusion channel. But is this more of the same of what we’ve come to expect on the mothership, or is this really something different?

The Media’s Kavanaugh Hypocrisy
Well. This has been an interesting media week, yes? The liberal “mainstream” media just exploded on Judge Brett Kavanaugh and his nomination to be a Supreme Court Justice. But there’s something very curious here. Take the case of liberal Democratic Senator from Ohio Sherrod Brown.

Cuomo Hails Flake: 'The Sunshine of Compromise and Common Ground'
During Friday’s Cuomo PrimeTime, host Chris Cuomo closed the show by praising Arizona Republican Senator Jeff Flake’s decision to demand an FBI investigation into the sexual assault allegation against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, delaying the Senate vote on his confirmation by a week. Not surprisingly, Flake received media acclaim after bragging about donating to Alabama senatorial…

Where Is Sean Penn’s #MeToo Apology Tour?
A funny thing happened when Oscar winner Sean Penn took aim at the #MeToo movement. Nothing. In today’s hyper sensitive age, “nothing” is funny, at least not in the “ha ha” sense. Penn spoke out recently against a movement which took down Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey, Louis CK and other high profile men in the entertainment business.

NYT: Kavanaugh Anger at Being Called Rapist Puts Neutrality In Doubt
Supreme Court reporter Adam Liptak was brazen in advancing a particularly audacious partisan argument -- that getting angry at being called a rapist by millions of people means you lack judicial temperament – on the front of Saturday’s New York Times: “Nominee’s Diatribe Poses Threat To Court’s Neutrality, Some Fear.” The online headline added an adjective: “A Bitter Nominee, Questions of…

The Week in Media Bias History: GOP Delights in ‘Your Dead Corpse!'
Then-Today co-host Katie Couric was SO excited about the opportunity to bash Ronald Reagan that she mangled a statement by biographer Edmund Morris. Couric opened the September 27, 1999 Today with this: “Good Morning. The Gipper was an airhead!” Two days later, Morris shot this down: “Oh, good God no! He was a very bright man.”
