Wash Post Reporter Uses Debunked Study to Blast ‘Moderate Drinking’

Reporters are really good at worrying about the standards of other people’s professions. Their own? Maybe not so much. Take Washington Post reporter Joel Achenbach, who tells readers “Researchers are supposed to have what is known as ‘equipoise’ going into a trial.” Equipoise is a completely neutral attitude toward what a scientific trial may prove or disprove.

Networks Ignore FDA Plans to Insert ‘Fresh’ Aborted Babies Into Mice

Scientific study to advance the well-being of humans is good – but not when it depends on the destruction of others. On Aug. 7, CNSNews.com, a division of the MRC, revealed that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is obtaining “fresh” aborted baby parts in the name of scientific research – or to create mice with human immune systems. But Americans wouldn’t know that by watching the…

Summer of 2018 Showcases Sharp Media Bias in Pope Francis Coverage

Most national and international media display an astounding degree of selective perception when covering remarks and actions by Pope Francis. The latest example is the overwhelmingly celebratory coverage of the Pope’s decision to revise the Catholic catechism to express across-the-board opposition to the death penalty.

Kathleen Turner Bashes Pence for ‘Disregarding Women’ in Abortion

Abortion is about women’s bodies, according to one actress. Not unborn babies’ bodies. On August 7, Out magazine interviewed Golden Globe award-winning actress Kathleen Turner. The published piece came just hours after her Vulture interview where she spoke about, among other things, Hollywood and President Trump’s handshake. But this time she spoke about Vice President Mike Pence – and abortion.

Fox Alerts Viewers to Refugee With Criminal Record Who Shot Cop

On Tuesday night, FNC gave an update on the case of an Iraqi refugee with a criminal history who managed to escape deportation and recently went on to shoot a police officer in Colorado Springs. FNC have covered the story a number of times since Friday, but the other networks have completely ignored the tragic event. Ironically, on the same day that the attempted cop killing story broke, several…

Media Blame Climate Change for California Fires, Ignore Other Factors

California is burning. Multiple wildfires are claiming lives and property and the smoke is so bad, even Yosemite had to be evacuated. News outlets should be reporting all the factors that contributed to the terrible fires and not exploit tragedy to score political points. Instead, the liberal media have been latching onto the fires as evidence of the threat of climate change and bashing the Trump…

Lefty Celebs See Red (and Reds) Over Green Party

Remember the liberal mob’s motto: If the Democratic party loses an election, it’s not them or their message or ideas -- it’s the fault of some nefarious outside force. Predictably, lefty fingers are pointing today at mysterious Russian meddling, or votes earned by the Green Party -- or both.

Oklahoma's Wretched Record on Wrongful Convictions

“Frontier justice” costs too many citizens of all races, creeds, and backgrounds their freedom and their lives. In the old days of the Wild West, vigilantes worked outside the judicial system to punish rivals regardless of their guilt or innocence. Today, outlaws operate inside the bureaucracy to secure criminal convictions at all costs.

Colleges: A Force For Evil

Many of the nation's colleges have become a force for evil and a focal point for the destruction of traditional American values. The threat to our future lies in the fact that today's college students are tomorrow's teachers, professors, judges, attorneys, legislators and policymakers. A recent Brookings Institution poll suggests that nearly half of college students believe that hate speech is…

The Matrix at 20

Next year marks the 20th anniversary of the sci-fi movie classic “The Matrix,” which depicts powerful machines attempting to subdue the human race. Sometimes art imitates life, and sometimes it’s the other way around. On occasion, art can be prophetic. “The Matrix” is such a film. It warns of a future in which the power and worth of the individual is subsumed into one giant interconnected world…

Nets Claim Ohio Race ‘Too Close to Call,’ See ‘Moral Victory’ for Dems

On Wednesday, the network morning shows all claimed the outcome of Ohio’s 12th Congressional District special election was “too close to call” despite Republican candidate Troy Balderson seeming to have won a narrow victory over Democrat Danny O’Connor. Despite that apparent result, reporters desperately spun the likely Democratic defeat as a “moral victory” and predicted electoral doom for…

GLAAD: Hollywood Not 'Trans Inclusive'

The New York Times estimates transgender people make up, “0.6 percent of the adult population.” This doesn’t stop activists from bashing Hollywood for not catering to them. GLAAD and 5050by2020, led by Jill Soloway, creator of Transparent, an Amazon series starring a man playing a transgender woman, got “four dozen production companies, talent agencies, film studios, and advocacy groups” to show…

CNBC's Harwood: 'GOP Has a Corruption Problem' in Midterms

As several major state primary elections closed last night, with results that bucked the liberal media’s anti-Trump narrative, several journalists still clung in desperation to their hope that despite the GOP wins, they would lose to Democrats in the midterms this Fall.

Networks Warn of ‘Hard-Right,’ ‘Incredibly Conservative' Candidate

A danger is looming that journalists want to warn Americans about. ABC, CBS, MSNBC and CNN on Wednesday all fretted about Kansas’s possible new Republican gubernatorial candidate, labeling Kris Kobach a “hard-right,” “staunchly,” “incredibly conservative” choice. This kind of ideological hand-wringing stands in contrast to the warm response socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez received. She earned…
