PBS: 'Queering Your Classroom' With the 'LGBTQ+ Identity Toolkit'

Whenever the first Trump administration made noises about defunding public media (in its 2017 and 2018 budget proposals, for instance), including National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the congressionally founded tax-funded entity ostensibly in charge, would respond by emphasizing how PBS benefits kids. But must PBS’s…

CNN: 'Devout Catholic' Biden's Faith Led Him to Death Row Commutations

In a segment on Biden's commutation of the death sentences of 37 federal prisoners, CNN's Rachel Solomon calls Biden a "devout Catholic" and suggests his faith played a role in his decision. Dem aide Hyma Moore claimed that Biden cares deeply about his faith, and that led him to this decision. No mention of why that faith doesn't extend to protecting the lives of utterly innocent, unborn…

The Ultimate Gift of Life

In past years I have suggested going beyond Christmas and other holiday gifts that will soon be forgotten, returned or worn out, in favor of one that will last for generations to come. Last year I wrote about the Children’s Scholarship Fund, which provides private school tuition for poor and middle-class children in failing public schools. Not only do the private schools offer them a better…

Three days before Christmas, the nation is horrified to learn details of the murder by fire of a woman on the New York city subway. The one legacy media newscast that bothered to report this story omitted significant details regarding the suspect’s immigration status.

PBS's Washington Week Won't Own Up to Previous Praise of Biden Acuity

Washington Week with The Atlantic’s year-in-review episode Friday contained a fleeting reference to a bombshell Wall Street Journal story about how the White House and Democrats actively hid President Joe Biden’s descent into decrepitude, including several public stumbles, shaking hands with the air, and taking the “short stairs” up Air Force One.

Before Mocking Trump Nominee, Michael Steele Should Have Read His Bio

Michael Steele and Symone Sanders, co-hosts of MSNBC's The Weekend, mock Donald Trump's appointment of Mark Burnett as a special envoy to the UK. Steele and Sanders dismiss Burnett as simply having been the producer of The Apprentice. In fact, Burnett, a British native who served in the Parachute Regiment of the British Army, has been the massively successful producer of…

Scott Jennings DESTROYS The Left Over Dopey ‘King Elon’ Talking Point

Christmas may be upon us but politics rests for no one, as we see on CNN State of the Union. Host Dana Bash once again tries to push the tired “King Elon” narrative but CNN commentator Scott Jennings was there to quickly and expeditiously shut it down.

MSNBC’s Weekend Despair Over Media Rolling Over for ‘Tyrant’ Trump

There was an air of despair on MSNBC’s The Weekend on Sunday morning, as an anti-Trump panel expressed outrage about the President-elect’s various lawsuits against journalists and news organizations, but also despair that the liberal media establishment is failing to step up as leaders of the #Resistance, singling out ABC News for its $15 million settlement earlier this month.

Ex-CNN/WashPost Reporter: 'Should Have Pushed Harder' on Biden Decline

Former CNN and Washington Post political reporter Chris Cillizza was feeling contrite. In a Friday video, he suggested "As a reporter I have a confession to make. I should have pushed harder, earlier for more information about Joe Biden's mental and physical well-being and any signs of decline."

NPR Touts 'Sequeerity' Squad Protecting Trans Folks from Trumpers

Everyone knows National “Public” Radio hates half the public, the half that voted for Donald Trump. On Wednesday’s terribly named All Things Considered, NPR promoted “Sequeerity,” an LGBT security force in Minneapolis protecting their own from the allegedly violent hatred of the Trump-loving right-wing extremists.

PBS Oozes Over Paul Krugman: He Sees 'Resurrection' of Biden's Image

On Friday’s PBS airing of Amanpour & Co., host Christiane Amanpour introduced “the Nobel prize winning economist, Paul Krugman, who's written his last column for The New York Times, after 25 years of sharp and often indispensable takes on major issues that shape America and the world.” But NewsBusters has compiled decades of research proving Krugman’s knee-jerk…

Right on the heels of PolitiFact declaring President-elect Donald Trump’s line about immigrants eating dogs and cats as the “Lie of the Year,” CBS Saturday Morning profiled legal Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, suggesting they would somehow suffer because of Trump’s promised mass deportation of illegal immigrants.

Justine Bateman Shames Hollywood Reporter for Fake News

Actress-turned-filmmaker Justine Bateman (who starred with Michael J. Fox on Family Ties in the 1980s) did not endorse Donald Trump, nor does she call herself conservative. She avoids political labels. She wants a free, robust return to free speech, American style. But The Hollywood Reporter got that all wrong.
