On Morning Joe, New Republic editor Michael Tomasky blames tne "right-wing media" for the public's approval of Trump's transition.  He singles out Rupert Murdoch for particular opprobrium. Tomasky is nostalgic for the days when there was "common civic agreement about basic morality in public life." Translation: when the liberal media set the agenda.

The Atlantic was once a respectable publication founded in 1857 and in the following decades featuring some of the most valued writers in America with names like Ralph Waldo Emerson, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Harriet Beecher Stowe and others. Now it's trashing Trump for "dehumanizing language" -- as if the Left hasn't done that to Republicans for decades.

If journalism professor and PolitiFact founder Bill Adair meant to increase faith in the fact-checking industry with his appearance on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, he failed miserably. Adair told host Jon Stewart on Monday that the reason why Republicans get fact-checked more is because “lying... has just become a culture” in conservative circles.

CNN’s Chris Wallace took his 1960 election-related book tour to CBS and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Thursday, where he lamented that the “crazy” Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity has made Special Counsel Jack Smith’s life more difficult and sarcastically claimed it was “totally coincidental” that it was a 6-3 ruling along partisan lines with three Trump…

So for all the constant backstage whispers on a Biden withdrawal - “Yes he will! No he won’t!- the unasked question is: if Biden drops out, who will the left-leaning media endorse?

“The Riot Report,” the latest entry in PBS’s historical documentary series American Experience, regrets the lack of influence that radical 1967 government-issued report on race relations, widely known as the Kerner Commission report. The report’s infamous concluding statement encapsulated liberal pessimism on race, and that the billions of dollars spilled out for anti-poverty programs…

The Democrats want to run for office on the issue of "Democracy," because they think the Republicans are somehow opposed.  They never sound stranger than when they warn that a re-elected Donald Trump will use the powers of government for revenge on his political enemies. They can't grasp the fact that many voters see a vast conspiracy of partisan prosecutors trying to convict and imprison…

Imagine making a documentary about one of the 20th century’s leading opponents of the Ku Klux Klan — without ever talking about the evil of the KKK itself. If that sounds like malpractice, consider PBS’s new documentary on the life of William F. Buckley Jr. “The Incomparable Mr. Buckley,” the latest installment in the “American Masters” series, has much to say about anti-Communism but never…

A Wall Street Journal opinion piece by Sen. Mitt Romney regarding the demise of the No Labels political party initiative tells us as much about Romney, and why he failed to ever become a national leader, as it does about the failure of the No Labels effort. No Labels defined its mission “to support centrism and bipartisanship.” Romney defines this effort as seeking out the “sensible…

For his first post-Writers’ Strike guest, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel welcomed Arnold Schwarzenegger to discuss his favorite topic: Donald Trump’s weight. Schwarzenegger would also insist that he is still a Republican by offering up left-wing causes such as climate activism and “universal health care” as reasons why.

Pauline Kael knew she wasn’t a representative American. The onetime New Yorker film critic is famous in folk memory for having said she didn’t know anyone who voted for Richard Nixon in 1972, when he won a 49-state landslide.  The way her words are misremembered, she was surprised that someone so reviled by her social set could win the White Hous

The appalled shrieks of anger from the media will soon be heard. Why? Because Rep. Jim Comer will eventually subpoena President Biden to testify about his scandals before the House Oversight Committee.

Presidential historian Douglas Brinkley appeared on Friday’s CNN News Central to discuss former President Trump’s latest indictment and blamed it on a curious suspect: Gerald Ford. Brinkley and host Sara Sidner also acted as if nothing has happened between Watergate and present day when wondering why Republicans do not urge Trump to step aside like they did with Richard Nixon.

Over at The Hill, media analyst Joe Concha has hit directly on the difference in treatment between media coverage of the Biden family scandals and what would happen if in fact the same scandals involved a Trump family influence peddling operation raking in millions.
