While the Democrat-pleasing “fact checkers” at PolitiFact aren’t throwing any “False” flags at wild-eyed Trump haters comparing the president to mass-murdering dictators ("Hitler to Stalin to Idi Amin") over pulling White House access for CNN, MS NOW, and Politico, they did pull out the “Mostly False” card for a mostly true claim about Team Biden dramatically shrinking the press-pass list in…

On Tuesday’s Today, co-host Craig Melvin used the end of an interview with Secretary of State Marco Rubio to press him on the White House banning access to reporters with CNN, MS NOW, and Politico.

The New York Times has an annoying habit of topping its front page with an article labeled “News Analysis.” In reality, it’s a badly disguised editorial, often inveighing against their rage target Donald Trump. The latest was titled “A Sweeping Effort To Stifle Free Speech: Trump Deploys Agencies and Lawsuits.”

The New York Times on Sunday published a front-page editorial – “News Analysis” – headlined “A Sweeping Effort To Stifle Free Speech.”

Well here’s an “only in Washington” conundrum.

A strong majority of voters say that evidence of the federal government’s cover-up of the dangers of COVID-19 vaccines during the Biden Administration constitutes a serious scandal, a new national survey reveals.

Either NPR is so high on its own ego that it believes it can get support from George Soros-backed groups for its lefty spin-jobs without anybody noticing or it’s so obtuse that it thinks nobody with a skeptical mind will even take the time to look. 

Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer has a brand-new book titled "Trump 2.0: The Revolution That Will Permanently Transform America." He discusses how "markedly different" the second Trump term is, and how Republicans should never go to the White House Correspondents Dinner. 

In the lead-up to the White House Correspondents Dinner, National "Public" Radio's evening newscast All Things Considered spent 6.5 minutes on Thursday warning "Trump has destroyed the norms of White House reporting." Translation: The "norm" is liberal tilt, and allowing more balance in the press corps is horrible. "Partisan" outlets have been let in! And what the hell is NPR? 

Associated Press media reporter David Bauder found a fascinating nugget in an otherwise predictable lecture on media ethics from former Washington Post executive editor Marty Baron. For a moment, he admitted the press didn't focus on Joe Biden's cognitive decline, and that was "an ethical breakdown in our profession....Our credibility was damaged."

CNN host Dana Bash argued that objective reporting now means “objectively” challenging the lies of public officials – and guess which side apparently does all the lying. "Objective reporting doesn't mean just giving all sides of the issue," Bash said. "Objective reporting now, rightly so, means explaining what somebody says when it's false or when it's not right or when it's misleading."

The anti-Trump media elites are relentlessly omnidirectional in attacking their target. One day, they’ll complain the president’s too intolerably present in the limelight. But the next day, he’s scandalously inaccessible. When the Trump administration launched its offensive on Iran, they made noise about it being too quiet. When Trump gave a pile of interviews, they weren't long and rough…

At a press conference celebrating state taxpayer money going to the abortion conglomerate Planned Parenthood, California First Lady Jennifer Newsom lectured reporters who were allegedly "off topic" by asking Gov. Gavin Newsom questions about the perennially delayed high-speed rail boondoggle, and his upcoming meeting with the prime minister of Germany.

Under Trump, the media elites treat the executive branch as an evil empire, but under Biden, journalists were so eager to help promote the Democrats that they sometimes offered their sources the ability to edit their articles to their liking. New documents shared exclusively with MRC Business show special dealing with Biden's EPA.
