WashPost Comes to CNN's Defense in Two Odd Stories on PR Crisis

June 29th, 2017 10:27 PM
The Washington Post offered a strangely bifurcated approach in covering the scandals at CNN. On Wednesday, media reporter Paul Farhi reported an entire story on the firestorm over an unsubstantiated story causing three (voluntary) resignations in the Investigative Unit, but offered no reporting on the Project Veritas expose. On Thursday, Farhi wrote a piece on PV that sounded more like an…

Reader IDs Blatant Gun Study Error WashPost Failed to Detect

June 29th, 2017 2:40 PM
One of the more annoying aspects of establishment press news coverage is how willing so many journalists are to accept obviously bogus statistics. One recent example was seen on June 20 at the Washington Post. At its Wonkblog, Christopher Ingraham (and presumably his editors) blindly accepted a statistic on children's exposure to violence which anyone in touch with the real world should have…

MSNBC Drags Out Long-Discredited Planned Parenthood Stat

June 28th, 2017 11:34 AM
On Tuesday, in a segment which could easily have been mistaken for parody, MSNBC's Ali Veshi relayed Planned Parenthood's long-discredited and tortured statistic that abortions constitute only three percent of its "services." As he did this, Veshi absurdly disclaimed association with this and other fundamentally dishonest claims by the group, saying "I don’t have enough knowledge" to evaluate…

June 28th, 2017 11:26 AM
Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch is “to the right,” the “far right.” CBS and The Washington Post on Wednesday conducted a collective freak out over the possibility that the new judge really is in the mold of the late Antonin Scalia. The two outlets collectively used the terms “right” or “far right” eight times.

WashPost Buries the Lede: Illegal-Alien Influx 'Plummeted' in Texas

June 26th, 2017 8:51 PM
Look at paragraph 6 of the dominant front-page story in Monday’s Washington Post. The headline was “CAUGHT AND RELEASED: As the border quiets, safe passed into the U.S. is still granted to some families.” Reporter Jessica Contrera buried the lede on Trump achieving something on the “border quiets” front. The Post pulled off a classic example of putting the money phrase just inside the paper. It's…

WashPost on Net Neutrality: Fake News vs Real Collusion

June 26th, 2017 1:21 PM
The Washington Post is a legacy, old school fake news outlet.  Aside from the New York Times, no newspaper carries more national clout.  Largely because of how much they forty-plus years ago made of a third-rate burglary by a Republican presidential campaign on its way to winning forty-nine states.  (Had Republicans not broken into the Democrats’ Watergate headquarters, they’d have won, what……

Why Is The Huffington Post Afraid of The Washington Post?

June 25th, 2017 7:52 AM
x This week, NewsBusters and other sides noticed that after the death of Otto Warmbier, The Huffington Post edited, but did not take down a controversial article entitled “North Korea Proves Your White Male Privilege Is Not Universal.” Washington Post media blogger Eric Wemple also grew interested in why the HuffPost would keep the Warmbier-bashing piece, when it unpublished a contributor…

Many in the Left-stream media count themselves as apologists for free agent quarterback/Black Lives Matter activist Colin Kaepernick. Among them are ESPN and the Washington Post, media which are also in full support of a children's football team that staged a copycat protest of the national anthem, though it caused internal division and ruined the team's season.

Press Ignoring Anti-Violence Backlash as Factor in GA-06 Outcome

June 22nd, 2017 11:55 PM

With so much attention focused on the meaning of the results of Sixth District Congressional special election in Georgia, the establishment press has not looked into what happened to pre-election polls which showed Democrat Jon Ossoff ahead of Republican Karen Handel by as many as seven points less than two weeks before Tuesday's election. Though it may partially have been yet another in a…

‘Catholics’ for Choice Lies about Catholics…Again

Culture
June 22nd, 2017 12:00 PM
On June 21, 2017, the far-left group Catholics for Choice put an unsavory, anti-Catholic ad in The Washington Post Express, falsely accusing Catholics of “discrimination.” The aim of the ad is clear: coerce Catholic institutions into paying for abortion-inducing drugs by lying. The ad featured a caricature of cardinal in pre-Vatican II clerical garb, pointing at viewers. A printed inscription…

WashPost Gossip Who Puffs Obamas Rips Into Mnuchin's Gauche Fiancee

June 22nd, 2017 8:39 AM
On Thursday, Washington Post gossip Emily Heil grew downright catty in attacking Louise Linton, the fiancee of Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. "Maybe we are blinded by all the multi-carated bling, but are we reading this right? The soon-to-be wife of a humble public servant offers 1-percenter quotes that would ordinarily make a pol's PR machine wince."
