Texas

On Wednesday, the network morning shows sounded the alarm over Texas implementing new abortion regulations, fearing the new “controversial law” represented “one of the nation’s strictest abortion bans ever.” Hosts and reporters were particularly despondent that the Supreme Court had not intervened to block the pro-life measure.

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."

The New York Times released two Covid-related reports that, taken together, denied both math and science. After over a year of smug insistence about “following the science” on Covid, the Times used the anti-biological, transgender-approved term “pregnant people,” as if considering as a possibility the biological impossibility of men getting pregnant. The original headline to the…

On Sunday morning, two MSNBC hosts -- Ali Velshi and Jonathan Capehart -- promoted a discredited smear against Texas Republicans that they have moved to bar schools from condemning the Ku Klux Klan.

A front-page New York Times story Saturday by Reid Epstein managed to pack in 18 hostile ideological labels into an 1,800-word story on a sadly familiar theme at the paper -- how far Texas is hurdling to “the right" politically under GOP control -- in “Can Texas Turn Further Right? Top 2 Republicans Say It Can.” The paper is running versions of this same story every week now, leading…

Proving that it is actually possible to practice journalism when dealing with Democrats and voting laws, CBS This Morning’s Ed O’Keefe on Tuesday pressed Texas Democrats who fled the state, meeting them at the airport in Washington D.C. to demand answers.

On Tuesday, NBC’s Today show hailed Texas Democrats fleeing the state in order to supposedly stop “a dangerous attack on democracy” posed by Republican-backed voting reform legislation. The network was so in the tank for the left-wing lawmakers that it failed to point out that they were subverting the very democracy they claimed to be protecting with the juvenile partisan stunt.

Amid Monday afternoon coverage swooning over cowardly Texas Democrats fleeing the state in order to block Republican-backed voting reform legislation, MSNBC hailed the craven political stunt as a “national symbol for the fight for voting rights.” The segment then devolved into a partisan strategy session in which federally-elected Democrats were told there was “a lot” they “can learn” from the…

The special session of the Texas legislature was moving ahead this week with activity on their election integrity bills. But on Sunday’s edition of Good Morning America, ABC co-anchor Eva Pilgrim was seemingly excited by the idea of another Democratic walkout in Texas and complained that state prosecutors were going after a Houston Democrat who allegedly cast an illegal vote while on…

The New York Times’ fear of “ultraconservative” Texas is getting ridiculous in Thursday's story by Nick Corasaniti and Edgar Sandoval, “Texas Governor Pushes State Further to the Right On Voting Rights and Race.” The paper has made a bad habit of scary stories with scary labeling about how much further to the right Texas has gotten: The special session, set to begin on Thursday,…

After arguing weeks earlier that a new pro-life measure in Texas was a “public health threat,” on Thursday, NBC’s Today show hailed a high school valedictorian in the state for using her graduation speech to launch into a pro-abortion tirade trashing the law. While the policy protecting unborn children was labeled “controversial” in the report, the student’s nasty political screed was…

Celebrities and journalists are rallying around Texas teen Paxton Smith for giving an unapproved pro-abortion commencement speech during Lake Highlands High School’s graduation ceremony. Among those who are showing their overwhelming support for the young teen are Olivia Wilde, Adam Scott, Molly Jong-Fast, and many, many more. It truly is hard being pro-baby killing isn’t it?

The amount of vitriol the media has been spewing about a Texas election security law is shocking, but today’s interview on CNN with one Republican lawmaker might take the cake. New Day co-anchor Brianna Keilar went beyond the role of tough journalist while grilling GOP state senator Bryan Hughes on the bill he helped co-write, to accuse him of trying to stop black Texans from being…

On Tuesday morning, ABC News (along with CBS and NBC) celebrated Texas Democrats who decided to pull a stunt and walk out of their session to block the passage of an election integrity bill. But after praising their side for using “the one tool that they had left,” as congressional correspondent Rachel Scott put it, they weren’t amused with Republican Governor Greg Abbott saying that he’ll…
