Iranian Journalist Begs U.S. Media: Don’t Fall for Iran Propaganda
January 6th, 2020 10:33 PM
“Don’t believe Iranian propaganda about the mourning for [General Qasem] Soleimani.” That’s the message or plea from Iranian journalist and activist Masih Alinejad published by The Washington Post on Monday. Unfortunately, as NewsBusters reporting on the liberal media’s reaction to Soleimani’s demise shows, they were not heeding her warning and were willingly becoming mouthpieces for the…

WashPost Gushes Over Reportedly Killed Iranian as ‘Most Revered’
January 2nd, 2020 9:25 PM
Reacting to news Thursday night that top Iranian military Gen. Qassim Soleimani might be among the dead in a U.S. airstrike, The Washington Post continued its streak of showing deep respect to Islamic terrorists, boasting in both a headline and push alert: “Airstrike at Baghdad airport kills Iran’s most revered military leader, Qassem Soleimani, Iraqi state television reports.”

WashPost Wildly Claims Vindman 'Falsely Accused' of Whistleblower Plot
January 2nd, 2020 8:10 AM
Eddie Scarry at the Washington Examiner makes a great point about how The Washington Post blustered on Christmas Day about how Alexander Vindman was "falsely" brutalized by Trump. In the telling of Post reporters (and Russiagate enthusiasts) Greg Miller and Greg Jaffe, "An entire roster of public servants has been disparaged, bullied and in some cases banished for standing in Trump’s path as he…

WashPost's Puffy Sunday Interview with Jane Fonda, Climate Protester
December 30th, 2019 9:04 PM
Sunday's Washington Post Magazine offered a softball interview to Jane Fonda on her climate change activism, with this quote pulled out: "If necessary, we're going to have to shut the government down. And that's not radical. What is not radical is not doing anything."

WashPost Media Blogger Hits Maddow for 'Rooting' for Dubious Dossier
December 29th, 2019 7:03 AM
Washington Post media blogger Erik Wemple has been a fierce critic of Fox News in the Trump era. So it’s notable that he’s done six pieces on the collapse of the Steele dossier, and no article drew more notice than this one: “Rachel Maddow rooted for the Steele dossier to be true. Then it fell apart.”

FLASHBACK: WashPost Admired Obama’s ‘Chiseled Pecs’
December 28th, 2019 12:15 PM
Given the intense and sustained media attacks on Donald Trump, it’s sometimes easy to forget just how much journalists loved Barack Obama. Instead of comparing the President to Hitler or Nazis, The Washington Post embarrassed itself by drooling over the Democrat’s “chiseled pecs.” Eleven years ago this week, on December 25, 2008, The Washington Post’s Eli Saslow gushed over Barack Obama as a “…

WashPost Pretends Trump 'Reality' Is a Totalitarian Nightmare
December 27th, 2019 1:46 PM
On the day after Christmas, The Washington Post Style section published an article on "6 books whose writers seemed to predict our reality." Once again, the Post definition of "reality" seems to be chemically altered or emotionally overwrought, claiming that somehow the Sinclair Lewis novel It Can't Happen Here is our "reality," when the book tells of a totalitarian state with no Congress or…

Dwyane Wade Proves Father Doesn't Always Know Best

December 27th, 2019 9:10 AM
Father doesn't know best in the home of a retired NBA superstar. Not Dwyane "D" Wade, who says he needs to get up to speed with his 12-year-old trans son Zion. Far more woke presidential candidates Elizabeth Warren and Julian Castro do get it, though, and they're exploiting Zion's personal confusion to cater to LGBT voters.

Trump-Hater Scarborough Claims to Embrace 'Love Thy Neighbor' Politics
December 26th, 2019 3:18 PM
Self-awareness? Apparently not Joe Scarborough's strong suit. On Thursday's Morning Joe, Scarborough claimed to embrace a recent column by frequent panelist David Ignatius of The Washington Post that called for a "love thy neighbor" politics in which people "put aside" their grievances. "Truer words were never written," enthused Scarborough. That's all well and good, but not exactly the best…

Bozell & Graham Column: The Media Help Erode Our Norms
December 21st, 2019 8:11 AM
When the Washington Post infamously posted the motto “Democracy Dies in Darkness” on its masthead after Donald Trump was elected, it was implicit -- oh, sure, they'll deny it -- that Trump was the enemy of democracy, and of “light,” or transparency. So it was sadly poetic that after the House Democrats rammed through such an incredibly partisan impeachment vote – without a single Republican…

WashPost: Weiner's Butterfly Effect Might Have Caused Trump's Election
December 16th, 2019 7:01 AM

WashPost Prints Lecture: Don't Mock My Pronouns, You're Suffocating Me
December 15th, 2019 7:33 PM
The Washington Post has assembled an array of mean-spirited comedians on staff, from Gene Weingarten to Alexandra Petri to cartoonists Tom Toles and Ann Telnaes. So when it comes to choosing sensitivity over comedy, they're major hypocrites. But they ran a Sunday opinion-section lecture that you should never joke about people choosing their gender pronouns.
