Today's episode in journalistic kookiness comes from Andrew Feinberg, who writes for the "new" (not weekly) Newsweek and the Independent newspaper from London. Feinberg is proud of himself for comparing Pearl Harbor (U.S. death toll: 2,400) to June 1 protests in Lafayette Park across from the White House (death toll: zero). He pinned this on his Twitter page. 

During an interview with NYPD Chief Terence Monahan on Tuesday, CBS This Morning co-host Tony Dokoupil pressed him to admit “racism” was plaguing police departments across the country. After Monahan rejected the notion, Dokoupil and fellow co-host Gayle King engaged in hand-wringing over his refusal to accept the accusation.

Even after Mark Zuckerberg’s $10 million donation to social justice groups, liberals are still hounding him for not censoring the president of the United States. President Donald Trump threatened a crackdown on the violent riots tearing apart the country with fire, looting, and racial attacks. And his critics went berserk demanding he be banned from social media.

The New York Times Magazine’s ahistorical “1619 Project” author has been all over media outlets this week commenting on the riots and protests over the death of George Floyd. On Tuesday, she made some disturbing arguments justifying violence, to PBS’s Christiane Amanpour and on CBS News Live. Amanpour actually responded as if she agreed with the NYT journalist condoning…

It’s usually easy to discount celebrities’ and sports stars' takes on current events. Most are reflexively lefty or uninformed. (Or both. There is some correlation there.) But once in a great while, someone famous says something thoughtful.

The media has not only been downplaying and ignoring the violence caused by Antifa for years, they’ve also been increasingly defending them from scrutiny. On Fox and Friends this morning, journalist Lara Logan went after The New York Times for doing exactly that, after President Trump announced he would designate the violent left-wing anarchist group as a terrorist…

Apparently, if you’re an icon of the African-American community who doesn’t stand in solidarity with the rioters, you risk being #canceled. The New York Times published a scathing story against Louis Vuitton designer Virgil Abloh headlined “The Virgil Abloh Backlash.” Authors Vanessa Friedman and Elizabeth Paton wrote: “Mr. Abloh was initially cheered as a pioneer and a symbol of…

On Monday, the network morning shows offered a combined 69 seconds of coverage on historic St. John’s Church in Washington, D.C. being set on fire and vandalized by violent protesters Sunday night. On Tuesday, those same broadcasts devoted a combined 30 minutes of coverage to hyping the “outrage” over President Trump visiting the church Monday evening.

After President Donald Trump called for “designating ANTIFA as a Terrorist Organization,” a GOP congressman was censored for demanding the group be treated as such. Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) tweeted after days of violent riots: “Now that we clearly see Antifa as terrorists, can we hunt them down like we do those in the Middle East?” Twitter placed an interstitial, or a filter, over the…

More than twice as many likely voters want social media platforms, like Facebook and Twitter, to allow free speech by users as want them to regulate what is posted, a new national survey by Rasmussen Reports reveals.

The Hollywood left is so serious about protesting police that some of them are putting their bodies on the line to do so. 

The networks spent this morning crying outrage at President Trump for visiting the historic St. John’s Church on Monday to show his support, after Antifa broke windows and tried to burn it down the night before. On Good Morning America, White House correspondent Cecilia Vega was more upset at President Trump taking photos in front of the church, than she was of the rioters who defaced…

From the start, TV news media have done their darnedest to paint the riots happening across the country in a positive light. While many journalists have glossed over the widespread violence by relying on misleading characterizations like “mostly peaceful,” others have outright defended and justified the rioting.

On May 29, Hulu premiered its second season of Ramy, a show about a Muslim-American man living in New Jersey. While the first season tried to showcase the complexities of an Egyptian-American immigrant family, the second season went full raging leftist, calling the U.S. army “the world’s most corrupt army” and the United States a “country that enslaves people in jails and puts them in…
