Labeling

One time-tested way to examine media bias is to see if the media label any indicted Democrat official as a Democrat. But with President Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to Washington, D.C., highlighting blue city mismanagement, over ABC, CBS, and NBC’s Friday evening and Saturday morning shows, only CBS passed the test of identifying New Orleans Mayor Latoya Cantrell as a Democrat, and…

The PBS News Hour aggressively, almost amusingly avoided the term “illegal” to describe illegal immigrants in Friday’s story on President Trump’s call for a new U.S. Census that would not count illegal immigrants, a move that would change the recorded population of various states and perhaps result in fewer members in the congressional delegation of some states with high illegal-…

Tuesday’s front-page New York Times headline sounded concerning: “Voice on Right Pioneers Siege On Campuses.” A multi-pronged “siege” of college campuses? The online headline unpacked the point, but kept the hostile tone: “A Tiny Conservative News Outlet Pioneered the Attack on Higher Education -- Campus Reform was founded years ago to expose what it calls leftist bias on college…

The PBS News Hour’s bizarre post-October 7 enmity toward Israel has blared bright the last few days, eager to portray Israel, fighting for existence against a soulless enemy, Hamas, as a cruel invader purposely starving Gaza’s infants. PBS’s coverage of late has been guilty of bias by omission, spewing phony figures and hunger anecdotes from the Hamas-controlled “Health Ministry”…

The Independence Day edition of the PBS News Hour, guest-anchored by John Yang, featured two liberal Supreme Court experts sympathetically discussing Justice Amy Coney Barrett, a Trump appointee whose votes have trended leftward of late, pleasing liberals and disappointing conservatives. The panelists discussed conservative death threats against Barrett without mentioning the left-…

This morning on The Situation Room, CNN broke news on the 6-3 Supreme Court ruling limiting the ability of lower courts to generate nation-wide injunctions. CNN chief legal affairs correspondent Paula Reid spent her whole segment on how monumental the ruling was, drawing to the conclusion that Republicans and the “conservative super majority” were to be feared. 

Following the U.S. Supreme Court issuing its final set of rulings for the session on Friday, MSNBC’s Ana Cabrera took to her eponymous show to lead her left-wing legal panelists as they collectively panicked about the court limiting the ability for lower, regional courts from issuing nation-wide injunctions. Cabrera herself proclaimed: “This sounds like a giant win for the Trump administration…

The “Big Three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC were ebullient Wednesday morning in celebrating far-left, “young, charismatic, socialist” New York State Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani emerging as the Democratic nominee for New York City mayor as a “seismic...possible harbinger” for America’s future because of his “populist” views “meeting people where they are” with “solutions.”

In Friday’s online NPR piece “The story behind the arrest of 87-year-old veteran John Spitzberg at the Capitol,” Alina Hartounian, who edits and writes for NPR.org, made a hero of an elderly activist protesting the recent U.S. military parade, who got arrested. NPR played the feisty old man angle hard to an embarrassing extent. The report began in medias res, the reporter striving to…

Tuesday’s PBS News Hour led off with special correspondent Marcia Biggs’ nearly nine-minute segment from downtown Los Angeles, ground zero in the confrontation between Trump’s immigration enforcement and protests that often devolved into looting and rioting. Co-anchors Amna Nawaz and Geoff Bennett noted that “700 Marines and 2,000 additional National Guard troops began arriving” on…

The latest L.A. riots came after ICE began enforcing immigration law and rounding up illegals in downtown Los Angeles, and the New York Times is desperately trying to downplay the radical and violent nature of the so-called protests by calling them “largely peaceful” (i.e., somewhat violent, as a trove of photos from Los Angeles prove).  

Paula Kerger, chief executive of the taxpayer-subsidized Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), recently told the New York Times, “In terms of the news, we work really hard to try to bring multiple viewpoints forward.” But as the second Trump administration begins and PBS comes under unprecedented existential pressure from the administration for its liberally biased evening news product,…

The liberal New York Times has a habit of instantly fretting about Islamophobia whenever there’s an attack by radical Muslims, so it was inevitable that the paper responded to the murder by a pro-Palestinian activist of two young Jews, staffers at the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C., by fretting about how this will affect the larger “pro-Palestinian” movement.

The front…

Broadcast networks ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS still have yet to utter a single word about the radical left-wing politics of the man who allegedly gunned down two Israeli embassy employees on Wednesday evening in Washington D.C. In the first 24 hours after the attack, across both their live-streaming and flagship morning and evening news programs, all of these networks, as well as MSNBC, stubbornly…
