Bozell & Graham Column: The Kavanaugh Combat and Campus Cranks
October 2nd, 2018 11:22 PM
For Washington Post readers, we offer a quiz. Guess which one of these tweets from a D.C. Catholic college professor about the Brett Kavanaugh battle is considered scandalous and newsworthy in their legendary newspaper? Hint: it's not the leftist Twitter tirade about white Republicans deserving "miserable deaths," with castrated corpses being fed to swine.
Journalists Peddle Baseless Smears and Are Rewarded
October 1st, 2018 4:46 PM
Journalists sometimes ignore facts and evidence in order to promote an ideological narrative. For example, journalists peddled the Duke Lacrosse and University of Virginia rape hoaxes even after they were debunked. They also continue to distort the facts about a 1991 Supreme Court nomination, in which the FBI and members of the U.S. Senate rejected as unfounded claims that Judge Clarence Thomas…

September 30th, 2018 1:43 PM
Sunday's Washington Post didn't just include Kathleen Parker's defense of Lindsey Graham. The paper also made space for Andi Zeisler,the co-founder of "Bitch Media" -- which sells "Filled With Rage" mugs -- to insist Kavanaugh is guilty, guilty, guilty based on 1980s teen comedies and knee-jerk assumptions that every accuser is "resonant." Every accuser was a victim, no questions asked.

Bozell & Graham Column: Literary Taste vs. Stormy Daniels
September 29th, 2018 7:25 AM
It’s fascinating when the national media’s literary tastemakers make room for the transparently tasteless. Time magazine offered its picks for “What to Read This Fall,” and two ticks down from Michelle Obama’s memoir was Full Disclosure, by anti-Trump porn star/stripper Stormy Daniels
Lefty Journalists Lose Touch with Reality During Kavanaugh Testimony
September 28th, 2018 1:19 AM
With the liberal media unable to vocalize on camera their spin while Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh was testifying Thursday afternoon, many took to Twitter to voice their displeasure with the “Angry Kavanaugh,” calling him a “belittled marginalized white man” who, based on his summer of lifting weights, assaulted Dr. Christine Blasey Ford.
Bozell & Graham Column: The Vast Anti-Kavanaugh Conspiracy
September 25th, 2018 11:14 PM
Washington Post media reporter Paul Farhi wrote a September 25 article on liberal media bias headlined “Kavanaugh supporters see a conspiracy afoot.” The Post painted this as a little crazy, like a UFO was involved.

WashPost Slams Beto O’Rourke with Four Pinocchios for His DWI Claim
September 25th, 2018 7:58 PM
As the saying goes, a broken clock is right twice a day. On Tuesday, the clock was The Washington Post and chief fact-checker Glenn Kessler giving Texas Democratic senatorial candidate Beto O’Rouke four Pinnocchios for claiming that he fled the scene of his drunk driving crash in 1998. Speaking Tuesday on C-SPAN, Kessler observed that, since the O’Rourke campaign never responded to Kessler’s…
How the Media Earn Their ‘Fake News’ Label
September 21st, 2018 4:47 PM
A newspaper is “fake news” when it knowingly misleads its readers. A classic example is the Washington Post declaring the rabidly left-wing writer Jennifer Rubin to be conservative. Rubin writes The Washington Post’s misleadingly named “Right Turn” column and blog. They are so named because they are supposedly written from a right-leaning rather than left-leaning perspective. Yet Rubin supports…

September 20th, 2018 11:14 AM
If you’re a Trump hater, you never have to look very hard for media that confirm your disdain. So why on earth would The Washington Post culture writer Michael Cavna interview forgotten-but-not-gone Doonesbury cartoonist Garry Trudeau? Nostalgia for ironic liberal commentary on the Iran-Contra affair?

Who would’ve thought that Hollywood is full of hypocritical airheads who are more fond of lip service than meaningful activism? Well by now, probably everybody. And if you were still under the impression that these are the saints of our time and don’t want that bubble to burst, don’t watch last night's Emmy Awards show and stay away from The Washington Post.
The Left Is Running on Empty

The woman who alleged in a confidential letter that as a high school student in Maryland in the '80s Brett Kavanaugh "pinned her to a bed on her back and groped her over her clothes, grinding his body against hers and clumsily attempting to pull off her one-piece bathing suit and the clothing she wore over it" has now revealed her identity to (surprise!) the Washington Post.

Why Are Fact Checkers Singling Out California's GOP Underdog?
September 15th, 2018 2:36 PM
Republican John Cox is the dictionary definition of an underdog in the California governor's race against liberal Democrat Gavin Newsom. On average, he's down 29 points in the polls.
