The Media and The Hostages: In 1979 and Today

It was November 4, 1979. The President of the United States was Democrat Jimmy Carter. Carter was seen by many on the GOP side as a weak president, which was part of the reason Republican Ronald Reagan was making another try for the GOP nomination to face off with Carter in the soon-to-arrive 1980 presidential election.

CBS Promotes Both-Sideism On Israel's Creation

CBS ran a special report on the Israel-Hamas War on Friday night and had the common decency to acknowledge that history did not begin on October 7 or even in 1967. Unfortunately, however, they also decided to commit to both-sideism on the question of Israel’s creation, a decision that naturally led to one massive and glaring historical omission.

After Crying ‘No Evidence,’ ABC/CBS/NBC Ignore Direct Payment to Biden

“No evidence” was the liberal media’s communal cry when House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) and the other Republicans on the committee exposed the Biden family’s web of shell companies used to allegedly take in money for corrupt means.

PBS Won’t Trust Israel on Hospital: It’s ‘Carried Out Strikes' Before

On Wednesday’s edition of the PBS NewsHour concerning an errant Palestinian rocket that landed near a hospital in the Gaza Strip and killed many, show host Amna Nawaz offensively attempted to leave the question of responsibility open: Could the untrustworthy Israeli military still be blamed for the bombing? Nawaz talked to National Security Adviser Jon Finer and led off with the…

Apple Drama: Mother Tells Son She Regrets Not Having Choice to Abort

Well, we can’t say they didn’t warn us. Apple TV+’s newsroom drama The Morning Show spent the better part of episode 7, “Strict Scrutiny,” strongly pushing Hollywood’s favorite agenda- abortion. They even went so far as to have a mother express regret that she didn’t have “a choice” in front of the adult son she wasn’t able to kill, and claiming, “It was a proud moment for women…
