Media Fail to Acknowledge Lagging Economy, Substance in Trump Speech
It’s no secret that I’m very leery of Donald Trump. Simply stated, I don’t sense any genuine commitment to smaller government and free markets. But skepticism isn’t the same as bias and there is plenty of it in the media. As Julia Seymour at Newsbusters recently pointed out: 2 of 3 Networks Cover ‘Good’ Jobs News; All 3 Silent about Collapsing GDP.

Bozell & Graham Column: Networks Driving Miss Muhammad
The Olympics are only the latest event where our elites mistake diversity for “history.” One breakout star across the TV networks was Ibtihaj Muhammad, a 30-year-old fencer from New Jersey. A traditionalist Catholic woman from Maryland would register a collective yawn. A black Muslim woman in a hijab gets a perfect 10 from the diversity judges. ABC reporter Matt Gutman gushed she was “set to…

Networks Omit Anti-Israel Bullying by Muslim Nations at Rio Olympics
The Washington Times and the Jerusalem Post were very lonely in reporting that Muslim animosity toward Israel’s 47-member Olympic delegation has triggered a reprimand from the International Olympic Committee and protest from Jewish groups such as the Anti-Defamation League, which issued a statement this week decrying anti-Israel “hostility” in Rio de Janeiro.
None of the networks – especially…

ABC, Univision Censor Clintons' Donations To Own Charity
On Friday, the Big Three and Spanish broadcast networks' evening newscasts all reported on Hillary Clinton releasing her joint tax returns with her husband, Bill, and how much they gave to charity. However, ABC and Univision conspicuously left out that the Clintons made almost all of their 2015 charitable donations to their own foundation. NBC's Kristen Welker (along with CBS and Telemundo)…

Liberal Pundit: GOP Now a ‘White Ethno-Nationalist Party’
Donald Trump has, to borrow a phrase from Barack Obama, changed the trajectory of the GOP, contended Talking Points Memo editor and publisher Marshall in a Thursday post. “The white ethno-nationalist party which Trump has brought out of the shadows and mobilized,” wrote Marshall, “is now and will continue to be the Republican party…This seems like a transformative event.” Even if “committed Trump…

'New Day' Buries Terrorist Father at Clinton Rally Until Foley w/Trump
After initially burying the embarrassing campaign faux pas of the Orlando night club terrorist's father, Mir Seddique Mateen, standing behind Hillary Clinton at one of her rallies, CNN New Day finally gave more attention to the story after former Republican Representative Mark Foley managed to snag a similar spot at a rally behind Donald Trump.

Whoa! Schultz Defends Trump's Remarks on Hillary, Second Amendment
What a difference a year can make if those 12 months are spent no longer working for MSNBC. In the case of Ed Schultz, it means he'll now occasionally demonstrate a capacity for common sense.
In addition to his nightly News with Ed Schultz on the Kremlin-backed RT (Russia Today) network, the ex-MSNBCer also puts out a daily podcast and YouTube video titled Ed Schultz News and Commentary. As…

Michael Moore Begs Ivanka Trump to Give Her Father an ‘Intervention’
Just when you think you've seen it all, along comes liberal filmmaker Michael Moore posting an open letter to Ivanka Trump asking her to encourage her father, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, to drop out of this year's race to win the White House.
In the missive, which is entitled “An Open Letter to Ivanka Trump From Michael Moore,” the Where to Invade Next director stated: “I’m…

Don’t Get Your Hair in a Knot: Appropriation Police Strike Again
White women, beware! If you like hairstyles popularized by other cultures, don’t succumb to the urge to imitate them. Doing so might burn you worse than a flat iron.
So learned reality TV star Khloe Kardashian after she posted a picture of herself with a “Bantu knot” hairdo. The fateful Instagram post, dated August 10, read “Bantu Babe” as the caption. Shortly after posting, Kardashian deleted…

The View: 'Venomous' Talk Radio Started Divisive Rhetoric in Politics
The great minds of The View are in dire need of not only a fact-checker but also a mirror, after what they claimed in today’s show. After largely staying away from politics for the past two weeks, Friday’s show opened with co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar arguing that right-wing rhetoric on talk radio and in the Tea Party had caused the current divisiveness in politics. Despite their…

NY Times, Gannett Sue for 'Rape' Dirt in Trump Divorce Records
Lawyers for The New York Times Company and Gannett (the parent company of USA Today) pressed the New York Supreme Court on Thursday to unseal the records of Donald Trump’s 1990 divorce from his first wife Ivana. That looks like a transparent media-alliance move for Hillary Clinton.
Tactically, this seems very similar to the Chicago Tribune playing this courtroom game to clear Barack Obama’s path…

'Morning Joe' Trashes ‘Extreme’ Talk Radio 'Dumbing' Down GOP Thought
Friday’s Morning Joe on MSNBC saw the latest insults hurled in the direction of conservatives and talk radio as co-host/failed talk radio host Joe Scarborough and liberal historian Jon Meacham blasted “the most extreme voices in talk radio” from the past three decades for having “dumbed...down” the Republican Party and creating conspiracy theorists giving rise to Donald Trump making for a lack of…

ObamaCare Financial Meltdown Gets 18 Seconds on Network News
On Friday, a government report revealed Medicaid costs soaring as a result of ObamaCare requiring a massive expansion of the government welfare program. The Associated Press explained: “In a recent report to Congress, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said the cost of expansion was $6,366 per person for 2015, about 49 percent higher than previously estimated.” The stunning…

CBS on Fact Checking Hillary: People Just Remember ‘the Big Ones’
The journalists at CBS This Morning on Friday featured the founder of PolitiFact to talk about all the lies coming from the Democratic and Republican presidential candidates. Yet, most of the segment, unsurprisingly, was spent on Donald Trump. When the conversation finally meandered to Hillary Clinton, it was to explain that she fabricates less and that voters only remember her “big” ones.
