Arizona Republic Publishes 15 Kari Lake Hit Pieces in TWO Days
It is a reflection of the great fear by the Arizona Republic that Kari Lake could be elected U.S. Senator from Arizona that their azcentral.com website published an astonishing 15 hit pieces on her in the two day period of October 9-10.
PBS Finds 'Lifelong Republicans' in Arizona Who WON'T Vote for Trump
PBS News Hour’s White House correspondent just happened to interview four “lifelong Republicans” in Arizona for Tuesday’s edition, none of whom would be voting for Trump, and who further insulted their "lifelong" party as "cowardly" and "lawless" along the way. Certainly such voters exist -- but it’s a bit odd that Barron-Lopez either couldn’t find or didn’t want to amplify any…
Buried the Lede! Kari Lake's Democrat Opponent Skips Debate (Again)
The Arizona Republic's coverage of the Arizona PBS debate exemplifies media bias, according to this blog. Despite Democrat Ruben Gallego's absence, the article by Ronald J. Hansen focuses heavily on critiquing Kari Lake, who attended. The headline omits Gallego's no-show, mentioned only briefly later, while Hansen quotes a Gallego campaign spokesperson, making it appear as an indirect debate…
CBS Hypes Trump as a Border Extremist, Worries Harris Not Left Enough
Correspondent Natalie Brand theorized on CBS Saturday Morning that immigration will be a key issue in November’s election, but that was about the only thing in her report that made any sense. While Brand portrayed former President Donald Trump as an out-of-touch extremist, she worried that Vice President Kamala Harris may not be far enough to the left to appeal to Latino voters.
CNN Targets Trump-Allied Christian School in Attack on School Choice
On Friday morning, CNN News Central investigated the Arizona school system and how it has been impacted by school choice. Instead of reporting the undeniable flaws of the public school system, correspondent René Marsh tried her best to focus on the religious and Trump-affiliated groups which have caused an alleged “civil rights issue” by simply staying true to Biblical sexual…
Trump’s Sun Belt Hopes and Rust Belt Needs
Donald Trump’s first election redrew the map of American politics; suddenly Pennsylvania and Michigan were in the Republican column for the first time since the 1980s. But they didn’t stay there: The Rust Belt states that made Trump president in 2016 sent Joe Biden to the White House in 2020. That second Trump election also redrew the map, this time forfeiting two Sun Belt states that had been…
PBS: AZ Abortion Ban Dates to Legalized Slavery, White-Men Only Voting
PBS took another bite out of the surprise decision that recently emerged out of Arizona’s Supreme Court, on the Saturday edition of PBS News Weekend, anchor John Yang really loaded the ideological dice in his introduction: “The near-total abortion ban that the Arizona Supreme Court revived this week dates back to when Arizona wasn’t a state yet, when slavery was legal, and…
Kimmel Mocks Abolitionist As Out Of Touch Because He Was Pro-Life
ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel was supposed to have Vice President Kamala Harris join him on Tuesday for an interview that almost certainly would have focused on how supposedly horrible the Arizona Supreme Court is for allowing an 1864 pro-life law to be enforced. Harris couldn’t make it, but that didn’t stop him from arguing with the ghost of Justice William T. Howell, played by actor Nick Offerman, and…
PBS Copies Kamala: 2nd Trump Term Means 'More Bans, More Suffering'
After the surprise ruling by the Arizona Supreme Court to approve a Civil War-era law banning abortions except to save the life of the mother, the Friday edition of Amanpour & Co. (airing on PBS after first running on CNN International) hosted a predictably pro-choice liberal law professor as a guest. But the real liberal outrage spewed from guest host Bianna Golodryga,…
PBS:AZ Abortion Ban Cuts off ‘Critical Release Valve,’ No More Fleeing
The PBS NewsHour led its Tuesday evening newscast with the week’s big issue: abortion, an issue of such apparent import (and perceived advantage to the Democratic Party in November) that both anchors took a crack at it. After a soundbite from Arizona’s Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs saying the “abortion ban is extreme and hurts women,” Bennett introduced journalist Carter Sherman, a…
PBS Panel Touts Abortion as 'Great Issue for Democrats,' If 'Ghoulish'
Abortion is back in the news with a vengeance, after the Arizona Supreme Court reinstated a Civil War era ban on abortion and candidate Donald Trump reacted with a moderate, federalist stance on abortion. Friday’s episode of public television’s weekly roundtable panel Washington Week with The Atlantic was dominated by abortion politics as a life-saver for the Democrats (if not for the…
THE POUNCING CONTINUES: Networks Hype Arizona Abortion Politics
The network evening newscasts continue to feast on coverage of the potential political fallout over an Arizona Supreme Court ruling ratifying an 1864 territorial statute that bans abortion in all instances except to save the life of the mother. Understandably so, as newscast time spent hyping abortions in Arizona is less time available to cover the types of things adverse to Democrats…
ABC Protects Biden, OMITS “20th Century’ Gaffe From AZ Abortion Quote
We regret to inform you all that the Regime Media is at it again. ABC News, in its capacity as the most consistently pro-Biden of the network evening newscasts, excised the most damaging part of a quote from the president on the recently-affirmed 1864 Arizona statute banning abortion in all instances except to save the life of the mother.
Nets Hail ‘Game Changer’ AZ Ruling Means Abortion Will ‘Define’ 2024
On Wednesday, the “big three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC all led off their flagship morning news shows with coverage of the Arizona state Supreme Court ruling reinstalling an abortion law dating back to 1864 that protects unborn babies unless the life of the mother is threatened. Given the liberal media’s ebullience toward killing babies, they were giddy about this “bombshell ruling” and argued this…
