CNN Frets Over One Cop's Acquittal After Ignoring Sentence on Another

NYT’s Awful ‘Explanation’ of Jerusalem Hostile to Israel, Flubs Facts

New York Times writer Max Fisher’s “The Interpreter” column on President Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel was crammed with historical falsehoods: “Jerusalem, Explained: Why Trump’s Decision Matters and What’s Next.” Fisher has previously used his odd “Interpreter” perch to go to amazing lengths to suggest that there's some doubt as to the motive of radical Islamic…

CNN Media Panel: Our Fake News Stories Are Why You Should Trust Us

In one of the most asinine discussions about the liberal media’s credibility problem, CNN host Brian Stelter took to Reliable Sources on Sunday to defend his outlet and the rest of the media for the latest swarm of fake news stories plaguing the country.

Seven Questions the Press Must Ask Tom Hanks About ‘The Post’

Oscar winner Tom Hanks tried to heal the nation in wake of Donald Trump’s stunning presidential victory. Most celebrities predicted the end of the world, or similar calamities, after Nov. 8, 2016. Not Hanks. The Forrest Gump star struck a more reassuring tone during a public appearance days after the election. Here’s what he told The Hollywood Reporter at the time.

Press Ignores Steinem's Howler: Trump 'Lost by 10 Million Votes'

At the Massachusetts Conference for Women on Wednesday, so-called "feminist icon" and late-1990s Bill Clinton apologist and enabler Gloria Steinem made a big deal out the fact that she never has and never will call Donald Trump "president" — to her, he's the "harasser in chief" — while claiming that Trump "lost" last year's general election by "10 million votes." The vast majority of the…

WashPost Glorifies NFL Protesters Nominated for Payton Award

Des Bieler of The Washington Post is one of the few sports media making an issue of three NFL protesters who were nominated for the league's Walter Payton Man of the Year award. Nonetheless, he did not cite or quote anyone opposed to the protests which are seen by many Americans as disrespectful to the men and women who wore the military uniform.

In an extensive piece published by The Intercept on Saturday, co-founder of the news site Glenn Greenwald excoriated CNN (as well as a host of other news outlets) for recklessly advancing agenda driven stories involving the Russia investigation, with no transparency when the stories blow up in their face and go viral with fake news.

WashPost Tries to Shift Fake-News Blame from CNN to Trump Jr.

The Washington Post enjoys playing the game “Heads We Win, Tails You Lose” when anonymous sources lead journalists into looking stupid. The Post, among others, exposed how CNN reported an embarrassingly inaccurate story about Donald Trump Jr. and Wikileaks, using anonymous sources. When Trump Jr. responded by speculating on those sources, the Post wrote a snippy article (and tweets) on how Donald…

Newsweek Injects Bias, Distortion in Covering... Pence Family's Pets

At what little is left of Newsweek, reporter John Haltiwanger published a story on the unfortunate deaths of several pets in Vice President Mike Pence's family during the past two years. In doing so, he followed what has apparently become a rule in the establishment press during the Trump administration — "There shall be no puff pieces" — and put on a virtual clinic on how to maximize bias,…

Gay Filmmaker's Curse: Soften a Righty Relative By Licking Their Chair

The headline in the Washington Post commuter tabloid Express was “Did this man just lick your chair?” That’s because gay filmmaker John Waters joked that he believes in a “Christmas curse” on the conservative relatives. When they leave the room, you lick their chair so they "soften politically."

'AP Explains' on Jerusalem Omits Prior Promises, Resolution, 1995 Law

A Friday morning attempt by the Associated Press's Tia Goldenberg to "explain" the "US pivot on Jerusalem" failed to make three crucial points: First, that three ultimately victorious U.S. presidential candidates promised that they would formally recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and failed to deliver on those promises; second, that just six months ago, the United States Senate…

Churlish NYT Refuses to Credit Trump for Economy: 'Tax Cuts May Burn'

Saturday’s New York Times lead desperately tried to spin away the strong Trump economy by warning of hypothetical dangers from a tax cut plan that’s not passed into law yet or even set in stone yet: “Sizzling Economy Carries Warning: Tax Cuts May Burn – Concerns of Inflation – Jobs Report Lifts Trump but Raises Specter of ‘Boom-Bust Cycle.” It's a churlish pattern on the part of the paper, which…

Chelsea Handler Leaves Home Because Trump 'Setting the World on Fire'

If it weren’t for bad luck, liberal comedian Chelsea Handler would have no luck at all. First, her eponymous talk show on the Netflix pay cable television channel is being canceled at the end of the year, and now, her announcement that she’s moving out of her house because President Donald Trump is “literally and figuratively” “setting the world on fire” was met with anger and derision from her…
