CNN Bogusly Hypes Paltrow's 'Food Stamp Challenge' Participation

April 12th, 2015 4:50 PM
On Saturday, CNN hyped actress and self-appointed "lifestyle guru" Gwyneth Paltrow's participation in the "Food Stamp Challenge." This is the fundamentally dishonest campaign which has been working for at least eight years to convince Americans that benefits provided under the federal government's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) are inadequate. As usual, Paltrow has taken up the…

Reid: No Regrets Lying About Mitt's Taxes Because 'Romney Didn't Win'

March 31st, 2015 1:57 PM
So Harry Reid knew he was lying about Mitt Romney not paying taxes for ten years when he made the claim in 2012 from the lawsuit-free zone known as the floor of the U.S. Senate, but didn't care. That's what one must conclude from Reid's response to CNN's Dana Bash about that statement. Asked on the network's New Day program if he regrets what he said, Reid responded: "Romney didn't win, did he…

White House: 'Death To America' Only Meant For 'Domestic Audience'

March 24th, 2015 12:05 AM
CNN is reporting tonight that the White House considers the "Of course, death to America" comments made by Iran’s Supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as merely statements "intended for a domestic political audience." That clueless take would be headline news everywhere right now if this were a Republican or conservative administration. The National Journal's John Kraushaar's tweet reporting…

CNN, USA Today Hype Study by Left-Wing Hate Group

March 11th, 2015 3:57 PM
How low does left-wing hate-tank Southern Poverty Law Center have to go before the media stop sharing its “studies” as if they had objective merit?  Even though the activist group uses easily disproven, bogus stats and a “hate map” that has inspired a potential mass murder at the Family Research Council in 2012, the media continue to cite them as a legitimate and neutral source.

CNN's Two Sides: Gay Marriage vs. 'Zealots and Hillbillies'

March 3rd, 2015 1:26 PM
What was supposed to be a report on a constitutional battle in Alabama by CNN’s Elliott C. McLaughlin quickly transformed into what can only be described as gushing celebration of a triumph over traditional marriage advocates who are stuck living in the past.   McLaughlin began his piece on CNN.com with the story of a father of a gay man calling his son’s wedding "disgusting."  He then poured…

Number of Christians Kidnapped by ISIS Soars; CBS and NBC Yawn

February 26th, 2015 11:54 PM
News concerning the mass kidnapping of Christians by ISIS in Syria worsened on Thursday with reports from multiple human rights groups that raised the initial number of those taken from 150 to now at least 220. If you watched the network evening newscasts, though, you would not have known that if you had tuned into CBS or NBC. This latest case of network bias by omission comes as NBC has yet to…

CBS Skews Stats to Back Up Patricia Arquette’s Equal Pay Claim

February 23rd, 2015 9:47 PM
All three major broadcast networks took time during their post-Oscars stories on Monday night to mention actress Patricia Arquette’s calls for “wage equality” and “equal rights for women,” but it was the CBS Evening News that went one step further by devoting a whole segment to the topic and used loaded statistics to craft a one-sided argument to prop up Arquette’s rant. Anchor Scott Pelley noted…

January 29th, 2015 6:37 AM
James Taranto at The Wall Street Journal singled out a CNN.com commentary by a nurse as Orwellian in its description that Obamacare isn’t government intervention, it merely compels us to stay healthy. Taranto called it "a masterpiece of doublespeak."

January 25th, 2015 2:42 PM

U.S. High-Level Absence From Paris March Controversial — Except at AP

January 11th, 2015 11:59 PM
Thus far, the nation's de facto news gatekeepers at the Associated Press, aka the Administration's Press, have utterly failed to address the growing worldwide controversy over the absence of U.S. representation above the ambassador level at Sunday's solidarity march in Paris in the wake of Wednesday's Charlie Hebdo massacre. Crowd estimates for the Paris march range from "hundreds of thousands"…

CNN Scammed by North Korean Parody Twitter Account

January 5th, 2015 2:26 PM
CNN got hilariously scammed into citing the tweet of a parody North Korean Twitter account. It was taken down but fortunately a screen shot of their gullibility has been preserved for all eternity.

At CNN, Brittany Maynard Is One of '11 Extraordinary People of 2014'

December 31st, 2014 11:04 AM
If CNN is searching for reasons why its ratings are at an all-time low, it doesn't need to look any further than one entry in its group of "11 extraordinary people of 2014" published on December 5. Aside from the inanity of publishing such an annual list almost four weeks before year's end — as if no extraordinary people or extraordinary acts ever take place in December — the network's fourth…

Saints Player Dumped Off CNN As He Discusses Ferguson Facebook Post

December 1st, 2014 2:44 PM
A week ago, New Orleans Saints tight end Benjamin Watson put up a Facebook post reacting to events in Ferguson, Missouri. It has generated an astonishing 825,000 likes and 458,000 shares as of 1 PM ET today. As will be seen later, CNN's print report on Watson's post by Steve Almasy treated the player's references to sin, Jesus Christ, and the Gospel as if they were potentially toxic.…

CNN 'Breaks' Months-Old News About Brown Family's 'Expert'

November 30th, 2014 11:56 PM
The establishment press's performance in Ferguson has certainly been disgraceful, especially its role in turning one local death into a national obsession. One element of that buildup involves Shawn Parcells, one of two men hired by the family of Michael Brown, the 18 year-old man who was killed in an altercation with Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson in early August, to look into his death…
