Double Standards

The much-awaited Consumer Price Index for November was released today, with good news for the country: inflation came in at 2.7 percent, significantly below the 3.1 percent projected by economists. The legacy nightly news was not too enthusiastic in reporting this story, with ABC outright omitting the story.

After effectively serving as both Praetorian Guard and stenographers for the Biden White House, the network news appear to have rediscovered their interest in fact-checking presidential addresses. President Trump’s address on the economy drew a reaction from the network news more befitting of a partisan rapid response operation.

Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki must have a short memory because on her Tuesday episode of The Briefing on MS NOW, she attacked President Trump for seizing a Venezuelan oil tanker without Congressional approval despite the tanker being first sanctioned by her former boss, President Biden, slightly after she left the administration in 2022.

Former First Lady Michelle Obama continued her late night fashion book tour on Monday when she travelled to ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! to promote the book and lament that the “rules and norms and standards” that applied to the White House allegedly no longer exist.

Despite ABC hiring them all teams of makeup artists and stylists, the liberal ladies of The View didn’t have a mirror for their much needed, much ignored self-reflection. Their hypocrisy was on full display during Monday’s show as they chose to bash President Trump during a segment about mourning all the tragedies around the world over the weekend. While wondering where all the hate…

CBS’s Margaret Brennan scored an exclusive interview of Nobel Peace Prize winner and Venezuelan Vice President-Designate María Corina Machado subsequent to her arrival in Oslo. The interview, however, was a wasted opportunity as Brennan displayed how Trump Derangement Syndrome taints coverage of the potential end of decades of Venezuela’s suffering under a socialist dictatorship most…

Had a Republican Member of Congress referred to a terror attack as an “unfortunate accident”, been called out after the fact and then corrected to “unfortunate situation”, you would see that story garner significant A-block time across the legacy media nightly news. But when the calculus is, shall we say: (D)ifferent? Crickets.

While all three networks went hard in the paint Wednesday morning against President Trump and painted the economy as in turmoil, ABC’s Good Morning America was particular vicious with an entirely negative story and zero recognition of how economic indicators have improved vis-à-vis the Biden economy.

The liberal ladies of ABC’s The View had their knickers in a bunch during Monday’s show because President Trump received a peace prize from FIFA last week. While mocking it as being “cringe” and meaningless, they sure had a lot to say about it; including that America didn’t feel safer under President Trump and that he needed to be investigated for corruption.

ABC’s This Week with George Stephanopoulos featured Missouri GOP Senator Eric Schmitt, apparently to discuss ongoing operations in the Caribbean. The interview immediately went sideways, though, when Stephanopoulos tried to gotcha Schmitt with a recent presidential pardon.

Anyone expecting tough questions from CBS’s Margaret Brennan to U.S. Representative Ilham Omar was sorely disappointed at the end of this week’s Face the Nation. Brennan instead provided a tour-de-force in media coddling, as Omar was the beneficiary of a kid-gloves interview that cast her as the victim of unfortunate events beyond her control.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt closed out Monday’s press briefing by weighing in on-camera on her team’s decision to implement a media bias page on the White House website as well as lambaste The New York Times for their cartoonish, 2,100-plus-word November 25 piece suggesting President Trump is in both cognitive and physical decline.

Along with the crazy things former MSNBC host Joy Reid and the insufferable, miserable Boomer women at the I’ve Had It podcast said Tuesday about CNN’s Scott Jennings and the MAGA movement, they also hurled a heinous smear at Erika Kirk and the Vance family, claimed without evidence President Trump has “dementia” and the media are covering it up, said “illegals” or “illegal immigrant…

The Cackling Coven of ABC’s The View were like the dumb man’s Tyrion Lannister in that they drink and just say things. During Tuesday’s episode, revisionist history was on the menu as pretend-independent Sara Haines laughably claimed that former President Biden never repeatedly blamed Republicans for anything. Additionally, co-host Sunny Hosting seemed to suggest that presidents didn’…
