NYT: Rather’s CBS News Show Stood on ‘Pillars of Objective Journalism'
“Dan Rather Is Still Chasing the News” by the now-occasional New York Times reporter Jacques Steinberg was a ridiculously whitewashed profile of the still-working “journalist” Rather, who resigned in disgrace from the anchor slot at CBS Evening News after relying on phony documents to smear then-2004 Republican presidential candidate George W. Bush’s service in the Texas…

Olbermann Blames Trump For Shooting, Says Bush Staged Terror Threats
Keith Olbermann clearly needs some help. On his Thursday Countdown podcast, the former MSNBC and ESPN host unleashed deranged attacks on President Donald Trump and former President George W. Bush, accusing the former of being behind the Minneapolis Catholic school shooting and the latter of staging terrorist threats to get himself re-elected. The common thread, for Olbermann, is that…

Column: The Anniversary of Bush-Trashing Hurricane Katrina 'News'
One reason that many Republican voters took a shine to Donald Trump in 2016 was the way he showed no respect to the national chattering classes of the Democrat-media complex. George W. Bush was a kinder, gentler Republican – and they compared him to Hitler. No matter which flavor of Republican was elected, the “objective” media savaged him. We’ve reached the 20th …

ABC News Just Can’t Quit Ye Olde ‘Joe Biden, Devout Catholic'
The most Biden-sycophantic network newscast was unable to help itself on the day of the election of the first American pope. During a roundup of presidential reactions to Pope Leo XIV, correspondent Rachel Scott went to a tired but true hook: “Joe Biden, devout Catholic.”

FLASHBACK: Fawning 100-Day Coverage of New (Democratic) Presidents
Wednesday marks 100 days since President Trump took office for the second time, and the news media will doubtless be ready with report cards judging his new administration. Yet looking back at news coverage of recent liberal Presidents at their 100-day mark, it’s been a veritable lovefest.

Neil Young, Poster Child for Free Speech Hypocrisy
Neil Young once stormed the country to sing the First Amendment’s praises.

Clooney Urges Journalists To Stand 'On The Right Side Of History'
Actor George Clooney traveled over to CBS and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Tuesday to promote the stage adaptation of his 2005 movie Good Night, and Good Luck about Edward R. Murrow and McCarthyism. With modern-day politics an obvious backdrop, Clooney urged journalists to be on the “right side of history” even if it “is not fun at the moment.”

Soboroff Tells Colbert 'Deterrence Doesn't Work' For Border Security
NBC’s resident open borders advocate Jacob Soboroff traveled over to CBS and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Thursday to promote his new anti-Trump documentary Separated and claim that “deterrence doesn't work” as a border security strategy and we “need a new approach” to the issue.

FLASHBACK: Media LOVE New Dem Presidents; Republicans, Not So Much
A deep dive into the MRC’s archives shows liberal reporters and anchors have been ardent participants in the so-called “honeymoon” for new Democratic Presidents, but provide a much chillier reception when it’s a Republican being sworn into office.

17 Years Ago, Clemency for Scooter Libby Drew Massive Media Ire
The media have exhibited compassion regarding President Biden's pardon for his son, Hunter, but 17 years ago, angry journalists railed against the “travesty of justice” after President Bush merely commuted the prison sentence of former White House aide “Scooter” Libby.

Trump Draws the Map to 2028
As they carve their turkeys this year, Republicans can be grateful for Donald Trump, mapmaker. He’s redrawn America’s political geography — not only winning back the White House for himself but pointing the way to victory for his party four years from now. Before Trump, the major industrial states touching the Great Lakes were out of Republicans’ reach. Only Ohio was winnable for the GOP, but…

FLASHBACK: Dan Rather’s Long Legacy of Liberal Bias
It was twenty years ago this week that CBS News announced Dan Rather would be leaving as anchor of the CBS Evening News. Anyone watching Rather over the years couldn’t help but notice how he relentlessly twisted the news to help Democrats and liberals, while punishing Republicans and conservatives.

Dear Democrats, It Really Is Going to Be Okay
Dear Democrats, It is going to be OK. It really will. You’ll have the midterms in two years. There’ll be another presidential election in four years. Those of you reading this insisting there will be no more elections are no better than the idiots on my side who think 2020 was stolen and that if Kamala Harris had won, there would be no more elections.

It’s Official: 2024 Campaign News Coverage Was the Worst Ever!
It’s finally over, and the 2024 presidential campaign made history in at least one ignominious respect: Broadcast evening news coverage of the candidates was the most wildly imbalanced in history, favoring Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris over former Republican President Donald Trump by the greatest margin ever recorded.
