Disingenuous Wires: Court's 7-2 Gay Wedding Cake Ruling Is 'Narrow'?

June 4th, 2018 8:09 PM
Both the Associated Press and Reuters have described today's 7-2 Supreme Court ruling in Masterpiece Cake Shop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission as "narrowly" decided and "limited." The justification for this characterization is thin, and AP has erroneously contended that "the big issue in the case, whether a business can refuse to serve gay and lesbian people," remains undecided.

Press Meekly Accepts UK Judge's Reporting Gag on Activist's Arrest

May 29th, 2018 11:58 PM
On Tuesday morning, UK and many international media outlets finally began reporting on the Friday arrest and imprisonment in England of anti-immigration activist and journalist Tommy Robinson. The delay of over three days in covering the story was due to out-of-control statism combined with journalistic cowardice.

Few Media Outlets Note Reuters' Midterm Election Poll Swinging to GOP

May 24th, 2018 5:32 PM
Earlier this week, Reuters/Ipsos reported that its generic "How Will You Vote?" poll ahead of November's mid-term elections had swung into Republicans' favor for the first time this year, erasing a double-digit lead Democrats had just four weeks ago. This kind of movement would certainly be news at the Associated Press, the New York Times, the Big Three networks, and other so-called mainstream…

WH Reporters Demand Israel Show ‘Restraint,’ Blame Them for Violence

May 14th, 2018 4:27 PM

Considering the liberal media’s history of being anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian, Monday’s White House Press Briefing featured plenty of leading questions for Principal Deputy Press Secretary Raj Shah suggesting that Israel was responsible for the deadly protests by Palestinians along with the Israeli/Gaza border. This all came as the U.S. Embassy opened in Jerusalem.

Reuters/Ipsos Backs Away from Own Poll Showing Trump Surge

May 7th, 2018 6:38 PM
Normally when a poll is declared to be an "outlier" the source of such a declaration is a pundit or candidate who doesn't like the results. Therefore the branding of the May 4 Reuters/Ipsos poll as an outler was quite unusual because the source was...Reuters/Ipsos. Yes, this could be a first with a polling company asking the public to discount its own polling results.

AP Furiously Dissembles in Four-Paragraph Item on McCabe IG Report

April 15th, 2018 5:26 PM
The press has clearly chosen to downplay the Inspector General's damning Friday report on the conduct leading to former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe's dismissal. The worst such example was a grudging Saturday item at the Associated Press.

Media Virtually Ignoring Women's March's Unhinged Position on Backpage

April 10th, 2018 11:50 PM
Saturday was, as Katie Yoder at NewsBusters noted Tuesday afternoon, a "sad day." That's when the Women's March sprang to the defense of Backpage.com, tweeting that its Friday seizure by the Justice Department "is an absolute crisis for sex workers." In that same tweet, the group declared that "Sex workers rights are women’s rights." Backpage and seven associated individuals were indicted Monday…

Roland Martin Demands White Panelist Not Invoke MLK; She Pushes Back

April 4th, 2018 11:08 PM
On Sunday's MSNBC Live with Alex Witt, after panelist Jennifer Grossman invoked Martin Luther King's historic "content of their character" statement, TV One's Roland Martin, in a demanding tone, requested a "favor": "Please don’t quote Dr. King." Apparently in Martin's world, only a black person like him can quote King, while a white person like Grossman can't. To her credit, Grossman pushed back…

Nets Cover UFOs and ‘Roseanne’ Instead of Jump in GDP

Business
March 29th, 2018 3:06 PM
The biggest increase of consumer spending in three years pushed fourth-quarter economic growth to 2.9 percent, beating previous estimates and expectations. But if you wanted to hear about it from your evening news program the same day, you had to speak Spanish. Spanish-language channel Univision’s evening news program, Noticiero Univision, reported the GDP update on March 28. ABC, CBS and NBC…

MRCTV's Brittany M. Hughes reported Monday that Kehinde Wiley, Barack Obama's official portrait artist, previously created two paintings of black women holding white women's severed heads, making him the art world's equivalent of Donald Trump severed-head comedienne Kathy Griffin.

Bozell & Graham Column: The Sickening Celebration of North Korea

February 13th, 2018 10:47 PM
Every two years, Americans unite around the television to root for U.S. athletes and their dreams of gold medals come true. Unless you’re a journalist. Then the Olympics are a time to root against your country and her president on the world stage. At the opening ceremonies in South Korea, organizers strangely seated Vice President Mike Pence just a few feet from Kim Yo-jong, the sister of North…

WashPost 'Fact Checker' Defends Obama's Poor Record on Wages

February 13th, 2018 7:28 AM
The propagandists disguised as "fact-checkers" at the Washington Post unleashed pent-up frustration Wednesday when they evaluated President Donald Trump's February 5 claim that wages are, "for the first time in many years, rising." They gave Trump's claim its worst possible evaluation of "Four Pinocchios," i.e., a "whopper." Too bad for the Post that detailed work published by Reuters two days…
