MSNBC Wary of ‘October Surprise’ With Possibly Damning Clinton E-mails
The Clinton Foundation is back in the spotlight for their precarious ties to Hillary Clinton’s State Department. The conservative watchdog group, Judicial Watch, released e-mails suggesting major Clinton foundation donors bought access to the department. While the Clinton campaign insisted “the e-mails don’t relate to the foundation’s work,” email scandals appear to be a perpetual monkey on the…
Monster Bias: Networks Spend 2X More Time on Pokemon Go than Economy
When it came to covering issues voters cared about, the networks didn’t catch ‘em all, especially the most important one. According to the Pew Research Center, voters ranked the economy as their highest priority in July. But the media had different priorities in its coverage. It spent twice as much time reporting on Pokemon Go, a mobile game in which players caught cartoon monsters, than it did…
Only CBS Notices Report That U.S. Manipulated ISIS Success Claims
According to a congressional report, data on ISIS was manipulated in order to make the progress appear more impressive. Yet, only CBS This Morning on Thursday bothered to cover this development. Despite five hours of combined air time, ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Today skipped it.
WashPost Gushes for Hillary's 'Confidante,' Skips Cattle Scandal Link
The Washington Post published a gooey valentine to Hillary friend (and ally in ridiculous spin) Diane Blair on the front of Wednesday’s Style section. To Clinton-scandal buffs – of whom there are obviously none at the Post – Blair was the wife of corporate lawyer Jim Blair, the fixer who so helpfully assisted the sitting governor’s wife in amassing a $100,000 killing in the commodities market in…
Nets Ignore State Dept Report on ISIS Anti-Christian Genocide

Nets Give 2X More Coverage to Trump Climber Than Hillary E-Mails
On Thursday, the three network morning shows were more interested in a man climbing Trump Tower in New York City than the latest revelations in Hillary Clinton’s e-mail scandal. In total, the NBC, ABC, and CBS broadcasts offered a mere 2 minutes 15 seconds on new e-mails showing Clinton Foundation donors had high-level access to the Clinton State Department, while devoting 5 minutes 12 seconds to…
Giuliani Schools Matthews on 'Bigger Story' of E-Mails, Not Trump
Former New York City Mayor and Trump supporter Rudy Giuliani engaged in a tense back-and-forth with MSNBC’s Hardball host Chris Matthews on Wednesday night over Trump’s Second Amendment comments, but it was Giuliani absolutely schooling Matthews on the latest developments involving Hillary Clinton’s e-mail and Clinton Foundation scandals that stood out.

Duke Backing Trump Gets 6X Coverage v. Terrorist's Dad Backing Hillary
When a white supremacist endorsed Trump, the broadcast networks blamed Trump for it. But when the radical father of a terrorist endorsed Hillary and showed up in the front row of one of her rallies, these same networks quickly dismissed it as nothing worth worrying about. During the first three days of coverage after David Duke endorsed Donald Trump back in February, the evening news shows on ABC…
Jorge Ramos' Transition From Advocacy to Partisanship Now Complete

'Historic' Hijab-Wearing U.S. Olympian Hates Israel, Media Mum
Trey Sanchez at Truth Revolt reports that Ibtihaj Muhammad – the first Muslim-American athlete to wear a hijab while competing in the Olympics – isn’t the darling the media are portraying her to be. The media coverage of Muhammed has made her into some sort of Olympic star, with their continuous fawning and praise over the 30-year-old fencing competitor.
It was even suggested that it should’ve…

So NOW CBS Is Interested in ‘Controversial’ Faces at Rallies?
CBS on Tuesday and Wednesday showed scant interest in the father of a mass murdering terrorist sitting directly behind Hillary Clinton at a rally in Florida. But when a disgraced former Republican congressman sat behind Donald Trump, the network’s journalists perked up. CBS This Morning reporters hyped the “controversial” Mark Foley, whose appearance made Trump’s highlighting of Seddique Mateen “…
