CNN got more than they bargained for when asking conservative commentator Mary Katharine Ham to comment on a tweet sent out by Democrat congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez over the weekend. 

On Thursday, The Daily Signal’s Mary Margaret Olohan published a profile of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s press secretary and how the Republican’s communications team was taking on the left-wing media: “Christina Pushaw is not afraid to get down in the dirt with reporters who go after her boss.” The piece added that Pushaw “has repeatedly called out the press for ‘bad-faith coverage…

In “How the G.O.P. Became Saboteurs, Threatening a Government Shutdown,” New York Times columnist Paul Krugman used the averted federal government shutdown to launch his usual partisan lunacy, untethered to reality.

The press will never forgive Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a 2024 Republican presidential contender, for flouting conventional wisdom on Covid restrictions and successfully opening the state back up for schools, businesses, and life in general earlier than his peers. Friday’s New York Times story “Florida Curtails Coronavirus Mandates, Reflecting Wishes of Vaccine Skeptics” by Miami…

PolitiFact gets very defensive when Republicans attack the Biden administration. Attorney General Merrick Garland has zero fact checks from PolitiFact, ever. But on Monday, PolitiFact's Jon Greenberg gave Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) a "False" for an October 5 tweet about Garland's orders to investigate parents as potential violent criminals. 

On her hourlong freakout The Reidout on Tuesday, MSNBC's Joy Reid smeared Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as "Dr. Death," who is "pro-COVID" and "rolling out the red carpet for this ravenous virus."

On Friday, AP executive Daisy Veerasingham wrote a Nasty-Gram to Gov. Ron DeSantis complaining that his press secretary Christina Pushaw was endangering reporters with her tweets. It recapped her tweets ripping the story that used terms like "Drag Them" and "put you on blast," with the AP executive characterizing them as a direct threat to her reporter. It's got that Jim Acosta echo: any…

After denouncing the Trump administration for banning travel from China in 2020, during the early days of the pandemic, on Monday, CNN’s New Day actually promoted the notion of somehow imposing a travel ban on the state of Florida over a recent rise in COVID cases there. Without a sense of irony, the show hyped the notion that travel from the Sunshine State would have already been…

New York Times columnist Paul Krugman joined the rest of the liberal press Friday wagging his finger at Florida and its Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis over its handling of the coronavirus: "At every stage of the pandemic DeSantis has effectively acted as an ally of the coronavirus...he has helped create a state of mind in which vaccine skepticism flourishes and refusal to take…

Sometimes people just come out and say what we all know to be true, even if some still pretend otherwise. Nikki Fried, a Democratic politician who is running for Florida governor and hopes to challenge Republican Ron DeSantis, tweeted this on Thursday: “Ron DeSantis has Fox News, but we have everyone else. Florida will be blue in 2022.” 

On Wednesday, MSNBC freaked out over the global cruise ship industry attempting to return to business after being largely shut down during the pandemic. The reason for the left-wing cable channel’s fear? That boats full of tourists represented the latest “climate crisis,” akin to massive wildfires or deadly floods.

Florida Republican Congressman Mario Díaz-Balart's fiery response to a condescending editorial from The Miami Herald was, for some odd reason, published a month and a half after the editorial to which it responds, “It’s a shame Miami’s Republican lawmakers in Congress jumped on the conspiracy-theory train”- which posits that Hispanics listening to conservative AM radio are an "easily…

On Monday, NBC’s 3rd Hour Today show openly campaigned for a left-wing Florida teenager running for a seat on the Broward County School Board and making radical Critical Race Theory one of his top issues. The glowing profile piece, which amounted to an in-kind political donation, dismissed “conservative” concerns about CRT and touted the high school student’s long-term goal of being…

Channeling the radical socialists of Black Lives Matter – who have voiced their support for the brutal communist regime in Cuba – MSNBC on Thursday complained that Cuban-American protesters who blocked traffic in Miami were not arrested. This coming from the same left-wing cable network that defended violent BLM riots as peaceful even as communities across the country were set on fire.
