The Barack Obama Biography Cover-Up
This week, Tablet released a fascinating conversation with historian David Garrow, author of a massive unauthorized biography of former President Barack Obama in his early years titled “Rising Stars.” By all rights, the book should have been a massive hit upon its release in 2017. Instead, it underperformed. The revelations contained therein never hit the mainstream.

Rubio Battles CBS Hosts Over Trump Indictment, Blatant Double Standard
Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) entered the lion’s den of Monday’s CBS Mornings to promote Tuesday’s release of his latest book, but that was barely covered as, naturally, much of the nearly 10-minute segment focused on trying to have Rubio side with the Biden Justice Department in its indictment of former President Trump following years of asking him to return dozens of classified…
CBS Brings in Leftists Gorman, Kendi to Cry Racism Over ‘Banned Books’
Based on how the second hour of Wednesday’s CBS Mornings went, they showed they’re not interested in earning the trust of conservatives as they dedicate segments to far-left authors Amanda Gorman and Ibram X.

NPR Hypes Mary Trump's Amateur Romance Novel, with E. Jean Carroll
You might think the liberal snobs who dominate the audience of National “Public” Radio would look down on the romance novel.

Amanpour Gushes With Katie Porter, Sounding Threat to ‘Women's Rights'
Amanpour & Co. host Christiane Amanpour interviewed California Rep. Katie Porter, who is running for retiring Dianne Feinstein’s U.S. Senate seat in California and currently plugging a memoir with a hokey title, "I Swear Politics Is Messier Than My Minivan.” Amanpour made no mention of Porter’s “toxic workplace,” including what NewsBusters Curtis Houck described as…
Column: Touting the Leftist Crusaders Against 'Book Bans'
The Left is in an uproar. Parents opposed to their indoctrinating ways are forming a resistance movement.

You’re for “book bans.” The leftist press makes it sound like you’re banning books entirely from public view.

NY Times Book Review Trashes New DeSantis Tome: 'Culture War Mad Libs'
The folks at The New York Times Book Review would like you to believe they are the nation's premier evaluators of books, fiction and nonfiction. But the evidence shows the Times evaluates political books with a reliably partisan rancor or rapture, depending on which party it is. That explains their hammering the new Ron DeSantis book as a dull episode of "Culture War Mad Libs…

Surprising Answers From Pompeo on Spending, Defense & Entitlements
The next presidential race is on. One probable candidate is former CIA Director and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

Having spent multiple segments decrying the disturbing beating of Tyre Nichols by Memphis police earlier this month, CBS Mornings wound down Monday’s show by bringing in racial arsonist Ibram X.
