Is it ethical for one network to try to scare off a competitor's sponsors? The question arises because on MSNBC's Morning Joe today, Joe Scarborough sought to scare off Fox News sponsors.

The New York Times coverage of President Biden’s Inauguration Day appeared under a banner headline in Thursday’s edition: “‘Democracy Has Prevailed’: Biden Vows to Mend Nation.” Lisa Lerer’s long front-page profile of Biden, “A President Forged by Setbacks as Much as by His Success,” turned his negatives into positives. David Sanger’s “news analysis” headline gushed: “A Call for the…

During the same Thursday briefing in which he nuked a CNN story about the Biden administration’s coronavirus vaccine distribution efforts, White House chief medical adviser Dr. Tony Fauci and members of the far-left White House press corps shared a laugh as they commiserated about having scrapped by in 2020 as the Trump administration made their lives miserable.

Forget the coronavirus. A new pandemic has broken out, one targeting the liberal media: the Chills Virus! Yesterday, NYT editor Lauren Wolfe tweeted: "Biden landing at Joint Base Andrews now. I have chills." Poor John Berman of CNN was hit with the same virus this morning.  On New Day, commenting on Youth Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman's inauguration performance, Berman said: "I have to say, the…

New York Times reporter Lara Jakes kicked Secretary of State Mike Pompeo out the door in her Tuesday story, “As Pompeo Exits State Dept., His Turbulent Tenure Leaves Dubious Legacy for the U.S.” It’s noteworthy for being absolutely crammed with the number of links it contains, suggesting a hit piece lovingly curated over a long period: "Spurned by many foreign allies, ridiculed by …

The New York Times offered a parting gift to Donald Trump by laying the 400,000 Covid-related deaths in America during 2020 at his feet (while sparing a single sentence to his Operation Warp Speed, which delivered vaccines in record time). Monday’s massive front-page story, “400,000 Deaths in a Year And Failure at Every Level,” was a comprehensive assault against Trump’s response to…

Sunday’s big news story: Kamala Harris’s family? Yes. During this evidently slow news period, the lead National section story in Sunday’s New York Times is “Meet the Groundbreaking New Second Family.” This “news” story is by Jessica Bennett, described as “a Times editor at large covering women and culture. She writes about personalities, politics, social trends and the workplace --…

Twitter censored another member of the U.S. government, but she quickly fired back, calling out Twitter’s hypocrisy. Twitter suspended Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) for twelve hours Sunday evening, citing “‘multiple violations’ of the company’s civic integrity policy,” according to The New York Times.

Reviewing the media’s inauguration coverage since 1989 finds that no incoming Republican president receives the worshipful coverage that accompanies the ascension of Democratic Presidents.

New York Times political reporter Astead Herndon went beyond justified condemnation of the Capitol Hill rioters to suggest Republicans were unfairly “exaggerating the unrest last summer” that emanated from Black Lives Matter protests and Antifa thuggery, in Sunday’s “How Republicans Are Warping Reality Around the Capitol Attack." The subhead was scathing: “Loyalists to President Trump…

The New York Times again attacked President Trump’s “law and order” rhetoric by implying it’s racist (and that Trump himself is racist) while insisting the phrase has backfired on Trump after the disgusting spectacle of the riot on Capitol Hill. Elaina Plott’s “political memo,” “How Trump’s ‘Law and Order’ Mantra Was So Loaded Yet So Hollow,” also smeared the police as a group while…

The University of Alabama Crimson Tide won another college football national championship, and the New York Times returned to its disgraceful double standards on condemning sports fans gathering in celebration during a pandemic: It’s dangerously irresponsible when done in red states, but it’s ignored when done in liberal cities. Wednesday’s Sports page featured the ominous headline, “…

The disgusting spectacle at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday involving some extremist Trump supporters dominated the New York Times again on Sunday. Reporter Trip Gabriel front of the National section, “For Loyal Trump Base, Anti-Democratic Ideals And Distrust Still Burn.” But yet again, Times reporters went beyond justifiable condemnation of rioting and lies to defend the media…

The inexcusable rioting and looting in the halls and floors of the U.S. Congress this week has cast a shameful pall over the country. But the New York Times often went beyond justifiably calling out the rioters and those who egged them on. The paper overreached, making accusations of racial favoritism among police and alleging a double standard on riots, while ignoring liberal…
