FLASHBACK: Media Mocked & Belittled Trump’s 2016 Cabinet Picks, Too

FLASHBACK: Liberal Reporters Are Always Democrats’ Biggest Fans
The Democratic Convention begins tomorrow in Chicago, and there should be absolutely no suspense over how the media will treat Kamala Harris, Tim Walz and the party’s other stars. The MRC’s archives, going back to 1988, show that Democrats always get a huge tailwind of good press coming out of their party conventions.
FLASHBACK: The Liberal Media’s Slanted Farewell to Pope John Paul II
After Pope John Paul II died 19 years ago this week, liberal journalists praised his “charisma” and “magnetism” but rejected what they characterized as his “extremely conservative” policies, as if long-standing Catholic Church doctrines were merely one Pope’s personal opinions that could be discarded on a whim.
FLASHBACK: The Media’s Nasty Attacks on Florida’s Katherine Harris
Twenty-three years ago, November 2000, the liberal media unleashed their full fury on Florida’s Secretary of State, Katherine Harris, for following the election laws of her state as well as various court rulings to certify George W. Bush as the winner of her state’s electoral votes in the disputed 2000 presidential election.
Media Jeered Democrat Edwards’ Indictment: ‘Third World... Revenge’
The indictment of former President Trump has prompted gleeful cheers among many in the left-wing media, but a similar indictment of former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards 12 years ago was jeered at the time as an “overreach” that could wind up being an “embarrassment” for the Justice Department.

FLASHBACK: Lauer’s ‘Kiss’ Obsession With Gore a Little Weirder Now
Given what we now know about Matt Lauer and his creepy office with an automatic door lock, his August 21, 2000 Today interview with Al Gore looks weirder in retrospect. It was 22 years ago this week that the now-disgraced ex-NBC host obsessed over “the kiss” between the then-Vice President and his then-wife Tipper Gore at the 2000 Democratic National Convention: “You really planted…
Just How WRONG Were ABC and NBC’s Climate Predictions?
Two wildly wrong climate predictions have anniversaries in June. And since ABC and NBC don’t like to be embarrassed by explaining away their botched global warming prognosticating, we’ll do it for them.
Nets Weren’t as Excited for Historic Condi, Warned of 'Hard-Right'
All three networks on Friday praised the confirmation of Ketanji Brown Jackson, the first female African American on the Supreme Court, as “history made” and “an inspiration for everybody in this country.” And while all Americans should rightly be proud of another racial barrier falling, liberal journalists were not as excited when Condoleeza Rice became the first female African American…
Last Time Russia Invaded, NBC Whined That Trump Called Obama ‘Weak'
Things don’t really change when it comes to protecting Democratic presidents. At least not on NBC. This week saw Russia invade Ukraine just over a month after Joe Biden gave the green light by saying a “minor incursion” was no big deal. In 2014, Russia invade Crimea and the not-yet-disgraced Matt Lauer chided private citizen Donald Trump for calling the President weak.
Super Softballs: The History of Big Game Fawning to Obama and Biden
With Joe Biden’s popularity cratering, the White House finally announced on Tuesday that the President will submit to a pre-Super Bowl interview, talking to Nightly News anchor Lester Holt. The confirmation came late, just five days before the world-wide event.
NBC Hits Disgraced Zucker for Hiring Trump, Forgets He Hired Lauer
NBC on Thursday discovered the most disgraceful thing that ex-Today show producer Jeff Zucker did, now that he’s resigned from CNN after a sex scandal: Zucker hired Donald Trump back in the ‘90s. The fact that Zucker also secured the career success of alleged sex abuser Matt Lauer went unmentioned by the Today show.
70th Anniversary of NBC’s Today: Where In the World is Matt Lauer?
On Friday, the hosts of NBC’s Today show celebrated the network broadcast’s 70th anniversary by highlighting significant moments in the morning show’s history and it’s past hosts. However, one glaring omission was any mention of disgraced former co-host Matt Lauer – despite a handful of fleeting images of the serial sexual harasser during a lengthy montage looking back at the past…
Guthrie to Couric: RBG Cover-Up ‘Violates Cardinal Rule of Journalism’
During a Tuesday interview with former Today show co-host Katie Couric, current NBC morning show host Savannah Guthrie scolded her predecessor for censoring comments made by late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in a 2016 Yahoo News interview. Guthrie told Couric that the decision to edit out those remarks “violates a cardinal rule of journalism.”
