MSNBC Hypes ‘Amazing’ NYT Item Bashing Barr to Suggest He's a Liar
April 4th, 2019 1:05 AM
For MSNBC on Wednesday, the mood was ebullient as, thanks to an extremely vague, wrathful, and anonymously-sourced New York Times piece that unknown Mueller probe members have complained to “associates” that Attorney General Bill Barr’s characterizations of the Mueller report’s findings are somehow incorrect. On Hardball, the closing panel gloated as if all options are back on the table…

April 3rd, 2019 11:31 PM
It’s a story few people had actually heard about, but that didn’t stop Wednesday’s NBC Nightly News from throwing out the word “firestorm” to describe, ostensibly, their reaction to a dubious Washington Post article depicting Republicans and Trump administration officials as monsters, who didn’t care about the safety of children harmed by strollers.

WashPost's Probe Into CBS and '60 Minutes' Boss Died in Darkness
April 2nd, 2019 1:52 PM
The Washington Post deserved credit for daring to report on another national media outlet when they outed the sexually aggressive behavior of CBS (and PBS) anchor Charlie Rose in November 2017. But Irin Carmon, a freelance reporter on that story alongside Post reporter Amy Brittain, is now spilling the beans in New York magazine on how the Post buckled on a follow-up story in 2018 on 60 Minutes…
Sugar Rush: WashPost Asks Pelosi Softballs, Even About Omar and AOC
April 1st, 2019 5:25 PM
Joe Heim has performed a few softball interviews for liberals over the years at The Washington Post Magazine. Sunday's cakewalk for Speaker Nancy Pelosi was a thing to behold. At least the title was accurate: 'We're About Power." A few soft opening questions can get the subject to open up. But almost everything was easy, including an inquiry into whether she "saw herself" in Ilhan Omar and…

April 1st, 2019 1:15 PM
Doing the comedy that NBC’s Saturday Night Live largely retired from doing at least a decade ago, Fox News Channel’s Greg Gutfeld offered a tour de force to open his Saturday eponymous show in the form of a monologue against the liberal media “jackasses” “crushed” by the Mueller report’s conclusion that there was no Trump-Russia collusion.

Over there at the website for the Pulitzer Prizes is this posting of a prize. In the category of “National Reporting” it reads that the winners are: “For deeply sourced, relentlessly reported coverage in the public interest that dramatically furthered the nation’s understanding of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and its connections to the Trump campaign, the President-elect…

A melting glacier in Greenland has reversed course, adding ice mass and shocking scientists. But since it’s supposed to be part of global warming, it’s “bad news” even when the glacier added ice.
WashPost Fact Cops Still Imply 'No Collusion' Is False/Misleading Info
March 27th, 2019 3:17 PM
Robert Mueller’s report finding no collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government has caused problems for the “fact checkers.” Take the Washington Post “Fact” cops. Their most recent claim is that Trump is guilty of 9,179 “false or misleading claims.” Guess what’s the most repeated claim they have penalty flagged? "I can only tell you one thing -- again, that was proven today: no…
WashPost Hails the Clothes of Mueller, 'Righteous Seeker of Facts'
March 27th, 2019 10:18 AM
On Tuesday, the Washington Post Style section front page contained another episode of fashion writer Robin Givhan channeling her liberal political views through the pretense of assessing fashions. The subject of her adoration was Robert Mueller, seen leaving services on Sunday at St. John's Episcopal Church across the street from the White House.
'Serious Journalists Should Be Proud' of Russian Collusion Coverage??
March 26th, 2019 2:39 PM
Journalists lecture that Trump never admits he’s wrong, but when you’re invested in the Trump-the-traitor conspiracy theory, you cannot admit they overreached. Take Washington Post media columnist Margaret Sullivan, who refused to budge on the media’s partisan aggression. The online headline was "Serious journalists should be proud of — not bullied over — their Russia reporting."
WashPost's E.J. Dionne Furiously Spins Mueller Report Conclusions
March 25th, 2019 9:50 PM
Spin, Spin, Spin! The famous Benny Goodman tune was "Sing, Sing, Sing" but one could be forgiven if the Spin tune title comes to mind along with the tune while reading Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne's furious and often laughable spin on what is obviously for him a very disappointing Mueller Report. His highly entertaining spin control took place on Sunday in "Six takeaways from Barr’s…
WashPost Runs Op-Ed From World’s Worst Jailer of Journalists … Again
March 22nd, 2019 5:01 PM
For a newspaper with the motto “Democracy Dies in Darkness,” the Washington Post apparently doesn’t mind sharing the light with a person who has been called the globe’s worst jailer of journalists. Curiously, this isn’t the first time the liberal outlet has published an op-ed by Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the president of Turkey -- a country that had at least 68 journalists behind bars at the end of…
