CBS: Is New Woodward Book Another Watergate? It Must Be Watergate!
It’s Bob Woodward, so it must be another Watergate scandal, right?

Nets Gift 16 Min. to Anti-Trump Book, ZERO to Peace Prize Nomination
It was easy to tell the broadcast networks were in full campaign mode on Wednesday seeing as they spent large chunks of their evening newscasts hawking yet another anti-Trump book, Rage by Bob Woodward.

Nets Skip Outrage at Disney for Thanking China Concentration Camp Boss
While the broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) were stoking fear of any coronavirus vaccine produced under Trump’s presidency, they blacked out the nationwide outrage at ABC-owner Disney for giving a “special thanks” to the operators of China’s Uighur concentration camps in the credits of their new movie Mulan.

Crazy CBS Guest: ‘Pandemics Are Sometimes Necessary’ to Have ‘Change’

Nets FAIL to Hold Kamala Harris Accountable for Anti-Vaccine Quackery
The media love to mock conservatives and Republicans as kooks who are prone to all sorts of conspiracy theories.

On Friday morning, the “big three” broadcast network newscasts treated the anonymously sourced Atlantic piece claiming President Trump called fallen U.S. soldiers “losers” and “suckers” as fact, huffing about how “explosive,” “staggering,” and “stinging” the allegations were that have put the President on “…
Nets Label Victim But Won't Call Antifa Murder Suspect 'Left-Wing'
It’s a sickening double standard when the media won’t call out the politics of a murder suspect but will instead eagerly politicize the victim he admitted to killing. On Friday morning, ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Today repeatedly labeled the man shot and killed by an Antifa protester in Portland last weekend as “right-wing” and a “Trump supporter.” But no such…
Double Standard: Nets Tout Biden Kenosha Visit After Hating Trump's
After President Trump visited the riot-torn city of Kenosha, Wisconsin on Tuesday, the liberal media were outraged because state and local leaders (who they failed to label as Democrats) had asked him not to come.
