Yet, on their Sunday morning newscast, ABC’s Good Morning America ran damage control for Biden by…

The New York Times never misses a chance to go after Prime Minister Boris Johnson, leader of the Conservative Party in Great Britain. Saturday’s piece by Stephen Castle, “Cronyism and Profiteering Allegations Roil Britain’s Conservative Party,” told a familiar liberal media story of “Tory sleaze.” 

Leftists like Jennifer Rubin of the WashPost were all too eager to spread a wildly exaggerated claim from the left-leaning Texas Tribune that 5,800 children in Texas were hospitalized with COVID over seven days in the beginning of August. That was way off. The Tribune corrected: "In actuality, 783 children were admitted to Texas hospitals with COVID-19 between July 1 and Aug. 9 of this year…

The original headline to the…

Antifa, the urban terrorists, brutally assaulted Christians who were praying in a Portland park Saturday and the media have almost totally ignored it.

Hollywood loves ripping stories straight from the headlines. Law & Order thrives on this approach. Matt Damon’s Stillwater recycles the tragic tale of Amanda Knox. Showtime’s The Comey Rule essentially retold a media narrative we watched in real time over the past few years.

Andrew Cuomo resigned this week under the crushing weight of almost a dozen women accusing him of sexual abuse and harassment. Yet the Democratic governor's brother, CNN host Chris Cuomo, has NOT resigned from his network hosting job. Chris is merely on “vacation.” But although the CNN host destroyed all sorts of journalistic and moral norms by advising his brother on how to dismiss and…

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough scoffs at the claim by Biden's State Department spokesman who said of Afghanistan that "this is not abandonment. This is not an evacuation. This is not the wholesale withdrawal." That's "exactly what it is," retorts Scarborough. And retired Navy Admiral and Supreme Allied Commander Europe James Stavridis says calls the abrupt Biden withdrawal a "very dark moment…

In his "Fourth Watch" newsletter this week, Steve Krakauer highlighted new audio recorded right after a very contentious segment in March that ended Sharon Osbourne's ten-plus years on the CBS afternoon chat show The Talk.
