Under a week after the New York Times dismissed Kamala Harris’s book plagiarism by attacking the “seizing” investigator Christopher Rufo as possibly racist for bringing it to light, the Times has gotten tough on a writer guilty of a very similar offense. It turns out that sometimes borrowing material verbatim is objectionable to the Times -- at least when…

Former Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was interviewed in the studio by journalist Christiane Amanpour on Tuesday’s PBS edition of Amanpour & Co. (after airing on CNN International), based on Pelosi’s new book The Art of Power, and together they hated on Israel, Israel’s conservative leader Benjamin Netanyahu, and America’s former Republican president…

Given her post-October 6 reporting, it’s no surprise that PBS/CNN host Christian Amanpour manages little sympathy for Israel’s two-front fight against Islamic terrorists of Hamas and Hezbollah, but her introduction to Friday’s Amanpour & Co. (PBS) interview of left-wing darling Ta-Nehisi Coates discussing his ignorant anti-Israel book was still a bit much: "….our next guest says…

Amanpour & Co. helpfully tried to explain the bizarre stubbornness of Hispanics who risk not voting correctly in the upcoming presidential election – by hosting author-activist Paola Ramos, who worked both in the Obama administration and as Deputy Director of Hispanic Media for the Hillary Clinton 2016 presidential campaign. An objective and balanced source for information on…

Having seen World News Tonight anchor David Muir and streaming anchor Linsey Davis put on the horribly biased debate performance and correspondents Mary Bruce and Rachel Scott frequently shoveling anti-Trump drivel and pro-Kamala propaganda, ABC’s Good Morning America crew decided to do its part for the left on Tuesday by continuing to promote Trump-Russia collusion through…

Foreign policy columnist and former Republican Max Boot has written a Reagan biography, and it’s insufferable, if the essay by Northwestern University professor Daniel Immerwahr for the September 16 New Yorker is any indication. It sounds like every other hostile, condescending liberal journalistic cliché hurled at Reagan over the last half-century. The closest thing to a fresh angle…

The first hour of Tuesday’s CBS Mornings was dominated by two long segments (tallying roughly 13 minutes) and four teases swooning like kids from the 2010s at a One Direction concert for liberal Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson on the heels of her memoir’s release. Co-host and Kamala Harris donor Gayle King did the interview and, along with a gentle wonderment why she hasn’…

Supreme Court justices rarely sit for news interview....unless it’s to promote a book. Such was the case on Monday’s CBS Mornings with Justice Neil Gorsuch set to release one Tuesday on how overregulation has harmed ordinary Americans.  Naturally, Gorusch was hit with the usual smears that come with being a conservative jurist, such as being too grounded in “ideology” as opposed to…

Before being heralded on The View, ABC’s Good Morning America promoted Fred Trump III on Tuesday for his new memoir containing wild claims that not only has former President Trump repeatedly denigrated disabled people behind closed doors and wished his disabled nephew (and Fred’s son) would just die, but uttered the n-word when Fred was a child.

In a two-part interview airing Tuesday and Wednesday, the PBS News Hour interviewed controversial COVID responder Dr. Anthony Fauci, former Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, who has a new autobiography out. But Fauci was fawned over by tax-funded PBS, couching mild criticism in general terms and steering away from truly important issues about COVID…

Monday’s PBS News Hour handed over a news segment to an ostensible ratings rival, NBC News and its reporter/podcaster Mike Hixenbaugh, who has a new book out with the portentous title They Came for the Schools -- One Town's Fight Over Race and Identity, and the New War for America's Classrooms. Hixenbaugh and his onscreen NBC reporting counterpart Antonia Hylton have…

Transgender youth researcher and psychiatrist Dr. Jack Turban once again appeared on PBS News Weekend, this time plugging his new book Free to Be: Understanding Kids and Gender Identity. Turban is director of the Gender Psychiatry Program at the University of California, San Francisco and of course a strong supporter of controversial gender identity…

On Monday’s edition of Amanpour & Co., which airs on PBS, journalist Walter Isaacson talked to George Stephanopoulos, the former Democratic operative in President Bill Clinton’s White House and now the cohost of ABC’s Good Morning America and the Sunday political roundtableThis Week, about his new book The Situation Room -- The Inside Story of Presidents in…
