Cuomo Complains Trump ‘Insulted’ Women’s March With Economy Tweet

While the media loves when Democrats “burn” the president with a clever comment, they can’t handle it when he does the same back at them.

NPR, PBS Give Five Times As Much Coverage to Feminists As Pro-Lifers

Taxpayer-supported radio and TV showed the same pattern as the commercial TV newscasts, devoting more attention to the feminist Left than to the pro-life conservatives. From Friday through Sunday, NPR's newscasts devoted 10 minutes and five seconds to the annual March for Life. But the second annual Women's March and a celebration of abortion activists before Roe vs. Wade drew 53 minutes and 52…

Trump’s First Year Headlined as ‘Horror Show’ on Telemundo

The tendency to exaggerate how ‘bad’ things are has long plagued the practice of journalism. This common failing of the profession, however, was further compounded by Telemundo, when at the top of a national newscast coinciding with the first year anniversary of the Trump presidency the sister network to NBC made several highly irresponsible – and patently false – characterizations.

Awww: CNN's Jim Acosta Suffers Serial Self-Humiliation During Shutdown

CNN's Jim Acosta has had a rough four days. It's hard not to take some pleasure in that situation, given the Chief White House Correspondent's habitual rudeness and petulance with President Trump, and with his representatives during White House press briefings.

Update: Nets Cover Women’s March Nearly 7X More Than March for Life

Time is everything, especially when it comes to understanding the media’s priorities. At the end of January, there were two marches the same weekend both claiming to stand for women. But the network coverage was anything but similar.

Censored: Networks Ignore Huge Spike in View of Tax Bill Benefits

One of the constants in politics is change. The number of Americans who think the GOP tax bill will help them financially dramatically increased from December, 2017 to January, 2018, yet the network evening news shows ignored the story completely. That didn’t stop NBC and CBS from spending almost four minutes on Delta Air Lines restricting service animals on flights.

NYT Can't Grasp Why GOP Supports Israel, Blames 'Drastic' Trump'

Max Fisher’s latest explainer piece in Monday’s New York Times, “How the Right Took Israel’s Side,” attacked President Trump and conservatives in general for supporting Israel for no good reason.
