Texas

A Telemundo report on Florida's HB5 bill banning most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy- now headed to Governor Ron DeSantis for signature- ended up confirming that indeed, at six weeks, a baby is … a baby, though that was the last thing Hoy Día anchor Nacho Lozano had in mind.

Early voting in Texas has been going on for a week but Monday’s Good Morning America on ABC highlighted a supposed voter suppression case where they complained it took the woman “28 days” to cast her ballot. It was the case of Pam Gaskin, the same woman CNN highlighted last week with the same convoluted, conflicting, and now-evolving story about how Republicans were suppressing her…

Here they go again. New York Times Houston bureau chief J. David Goodman made Monday’s paper with this apparently newsworthy criticism of the Republican Party in Texas, “For Texas Governor, Hard Right Turn Followed a Careful Rise.” It’s the Times’ latest entry in a series of repetitive, fearmongering stories the paper has been constantly running for a decade, warning its…

On Friday's New Day show, CNN analyst John Avlon devoted a "Reality Check" to condemning the Republican-backed redistricting plan in Ohio which improves the GOP's strength in the state's congressional delegation. But between this week's edition and his hyperventilating over Texas redistricting a month ago, the liberal CNN analyst couldn't seem to make up his mind whether he supports or opposes…

In light of the state banning abortions once an unborn baby’s heartbeat can be detected in September, The Washington Post published two articles this week that profiled Texas women who run Christian, pro-life charities. To many pro-lifers, it was surprising and welcome coverage of the good works of a crisis pregnancy center and a maternity ranch, Catholic and evangelical, respectively…

On Saturday night, CNN weekend Pamela Brown host devoted a segment to promoting abortion as an important option for underage girls as she spoke with a young woman who had an abortion at age 17, and does not regret doing it. The pro-abortion activist even claimed that it "saved my life" by making it easier to go to college.

The New York Times’ Frank Bruni filed “Texas’ Toxic Heart” for Thursday’s Times, a continuation of his obsession (as well as his paper’s) with that stubbornly red state and the wicked Republicans (like Sen. Ted Cruz, whom he recently apologized to) who run it with an iron fist, apparently: "This is much of Republican politics now -- simultaneously seething with rage and…

Something shocking happened on NPR on Friday. NPR Morning Edition host Steve Inskeep interviewed a pro-life activist in Texas, Rebecca Parma of Texas Right to Life. It was less shocking that it was hostile throughout.

After former ABC News political analyst and disgruntled ex-Republican Matthew Dowd announced this past week that he would run for Texas lieutenant governor as a Democrat, CNN and MSNBC both promoted their frequent guest, treating him to interviews that bolstered his vitriol against Republicans.

On Friday afternoon, MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell lauded Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-CA) as a "pioneer" for recalling the time she had an illegal abortion as the Democratic congresswoman yesterday argued against laws protecting unborn babies.

On Wednesday afternoon, Andrea Mitchell used her eponymous MSNBC show to discuss the strategy Democrats might use to overturn the new heartbeat law in Texas as she hosted liberal pro-abortion activists Cecile Richards and Joyce Vance.

In piece for Monday's New York Times entitled “Desperate and Leaving Texas to Have Abortions,” reporter Sabrina Tavernise penned a pro-abortion story from Oklahoma City that not only told of Texas women apparently crossing into Oklahoma in droves to have abortions in light of the state's abortion law, but featured a quote that framed children as some sort of burdensome nuisance.

Daily Show host Trevor Noah recently admitted he’s “thrilled” that he doesn’t have to attack who’s in the Oval Office anymore so he can instead fearmonger for Democrat causes. On Monday night, the comedian did just that, hammering Texas’s fetal heartbeat law protecting unborn babies as “insane” “horrible” and “terrifying.”

The New York Times’ most cringeworthy columnist these days doesn't appear in the news section, although Paul Krugman and Charles Blow do provide stiff competition each week. It’s actually the paper’s Sports of the Times scribe, Kurt Streeter. Streeter previously railed against college and pro sports not shutting down for fear of Covid. The games went on, and the teams…
