WashPost Whitewashes ISIS, Mateen Out of Its Orlando Remembrance
The Washington Post marked the one-year anniversary of the horrific Orlando nightclub mass shooting on Monday, but something was repeatedly missing in the coverage: the name of the shooter Omar Mateen, and his ideological inspiration, the Islamic State.
WashPost Agrees With Clinton: She Lost Because She's a Woman
In Monday’s Washington Post, the media’s pathetic attempt to blame everyone but Hillary Clinton for her election loss trudged on. Today’s paper highlighted a study by two professors at the University of Texas at Dallas, that surveyed what voters felt about women in the workplace, and whether or not their answers fit into a “traditionalist” or “progressive” mindset. The survey’s writers concluded…

Andrew McCarthy on Fox: 'No Obstruction' But Comey Trying to Invent It
Recent NewsBusters posts have shown how the hysterical establishment press wants the American people, against all factual evidence, to believe that President Donald Trump obstructed justice in his conversations with James Comey. Former federal prosecutor and prolific national security columnist Andrew McCarthy, in Wednesday and Thursday appearances on Tucker Carlson's Fox News show, made several…
WashPost Gushes Over Teen as 'New Face of Planned Parenthood'
Friday's Washington Post published a blatant agitprop piece for Planned Parenthood on page A-2. The headline was "This teen is the new face of Planned Parenthood," and "social change" reporter Sondhya Somashekhar promoted 17-year-old Deja Foxx of Tucson. She came to Washington for the national publicity -- she's already been promoted by Don Lemon on CNN -- and visits to Arizona Democrats who…

GOP Congressman Lashes Into WashPost Reporter as 'Left-Wing Hack'
Rep. John Duncan (R-Tenn.) recalled his degree in journalism as he lashed out at Washington Post political reporter Philip Rucker in a speech on the House floor on Tuesday. He attacked Rucker as a "left-wing hack" who is "blinded by hatred for the president."
Media Yawn as Graphic Play Features Trump Getting Stabbed to Death
On the heels of comedian Kathy Griffin essentially sending a death threat to our president, one play in New York is also stretching the limits of what can be considered “free speech.” Shakespeare in the Park, a Summer program series hosted by New York’s Public Theater, has modernized Shakespeare’s classic play Julius Caesar, starring Donald Trump and Melania as the protagonist and his wife…
WashPost: Arts Groups Shouldn't Take 'Tainted' Koch Brothers Money
Business
The Washington Post is so against the Koch brothers, it will even oppose their charitable donations to the arts. “With the planet in peril, arts groups can no longer afford the Koch brothers’ money,” Post Art and Architecture critic Philip Kennicott claimed on June 5. His “perspective” was part of the Post’s Going Out Guide.
Hysteria Over Paris Pullout
For sheer hilarity and hyperbole it's hard to beat a recent headline on a Washington Post editorial opposing President Trump's decision to remove the U.S. from the nonbinding and unenforceable Paris climate agreement. "Trump turns his back on the world," it screamed. A close second goes to the headline on a New York Times piece by columnist David Brooks: "Donald Trump Poisons the World."
Bozell & Graham Column: Al Franken Is 'Sick,' All Right
Al Franken has a new book out humbly titled Al Franken, Giant of the Senate. On that same level of attempted humor, his author’s biography states he received “his doctorate in right-wing megalomania studies from Trump University.” Stay classy, Sen. Franken.
Sycophantic press profiles of Franken express admiration for the “former comedian” as if the satire stopped. Just two months ago, The…
Media Ignored Rosy Obama Growth Forecasts, Attack Lower Trump Target
One of the more absurd spectacles in the press's coverage of the economy is the attack on the Trump White House's long-term economic growth assumptions in this week's budget release. The same reporters, pundits and outlets now ridiculing the Trump administration's belief that the economy can consistently grow by 3 percent each year beginning four years from now were stone silent when the Obama…
WashPost Defends AP Freelancer's Sneaky Tactics at N.H. GOP Event
On Tuesday, Randy Hall at NewsBusters covered how "the Associated Press hired a 'freelancer' -- who turned out to be 'a hardcore left-wing activist' -- to attend a 'closed press' fund-raiser for the GOP in New Hampshire." In other words, the wire service sent Melanie Plenda to the event for the express purpose of crashing it, despite the NHGOP's clear instructions. It turns out that the…
NYT Coddles Chinese Commies Intimidating Student Critic
New York Times reporter Mike Ives covered the furor over Yang Shuping, a Chinese student who just graduated from the University of Maryland, praising the United States and criticizing her home country in her commencement speech: “Chinese Student, Graduating in Maryland, Sets Off a Furor by Praising the U.S.” Yet Ives, who works in an industry that relies on free speech, comes off as almost…

Hypocrite Rubin Loses It Over Montana Incident, Blames Trump
On Wednesday night, Montana Republican congressional candidate Greg Gianforte allegedly body slammed The Guardian’s Ben Jacobs the night before the state’s special election. Jacobs went to a hospital to be checked out and had his glasses smashed, so what’s known about the incident isn’t pretty to say the least. Importantly, any assault of anyone (reporter or non-reporter) isn’t okay. This should…
WashPost’s Bezos Takes Fire for Bias at His Other Company: Amazon
Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos came under fire for bias, Tuesday, but for his other company. At an Amazon shareholder meeting, he was pressed on that organization’s political stances. Bezos defended, “It’s very important that Amazon, in my opinion, not oppose or favor any presidential candidate or elected official, that’s not our job. Instead, The right thing for us is to take a very measured…
