Brian Willams Puts On Brennan, Disparages Any Focus on Unmasking

When Brian Williams interviewed former CIA Director and current MSNBC analyst John Brennan on Thursday's Deadline: White House on the latest controversies surrounding Michael Flynn, the Obama Administration and their energetic unmasking, the viewer could be forgiven for thinking that Williams was Brennan's defense attorney. He read from a Brennan tweet denouncing Trump for having a "despot's…

Samantha Bee Pushes to Exploit Pandemic to Enact Socialism

On Wednesday's Full Frontal on TBS, liberal comedienne Samantha Bee spent much of her show advocating for maximum exploitation of the pandemic to advance liberal causes on issues like welfare and abortion.

Column: AP Says Ditch the 'Mistress'

The 2020 Associated Press Stylebook is being published soon, and the AP is not humble about what it represents. “The style of The Associated Press is the gold standard for news writing,” they boast, and the book offers a sturdy path to the AP’s “famous” brand of “clarity and professionalism.” In recent years, conservatives have seen AP’s Stylebook squad tilt perilously to the Left, foregoing…

ABC Drama: Doctor Blames 'Anti-Choice' People for Hospital Bombings

Never let an opportunity to bash pro-life people go to waste is the mantra of Hollywood. Even if the dialogue has to stretch to include an unfounded, nasty accusation by a medical doctor. ABC's Station 19 included a doctor saying "anti-choice" people bombed her hospital because she did embryonic stem-cell research to find a cure for lymphoma.

Cooper Throws Childish Tantrum After Blowback for Bringing on Greta

Anderson Cooper ended Thursday’s latest CNN coronavirus town hall with an emotion-driven, hypocritical, and sophomoric rant complaining about “the phony online outrage machine” after CNN received widespread blowback for having climate change activist Greta Thunberg as a guest. This was despite the town hall’s billing of facts, science, and part of the show title having the phrase Facts and Fears.

Cognitive Dissonance: Nets Cause Unease With Conflicting COVID Reports

What makes a crisis, such as the one we’re all living through, worse is when the public gets mixed and/or conflicting messages about what to expect. This causes confusion and anxiety. And that’s exactly what the broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC have been creating with the cognitive dissonance plaguing their evening news reports, which reach millions of people.

Nets Ignore Radical Provisions in Dems' $3 Trillion Stimulus Package

All three of the morning news shows on the alphabet soup networks mentioned that House Democrats had unveiled a $3 trillion stimulus package that included economic relief for Americans facing economic hardship because of Coronavirus.

Not a Joke: Lefty Group Cites 2nd Amendment in Virus Suit Against FNC

Back on April 10, NewsBusters wrote about a bizarre move by the far-left group WASHLITE to have a judge removed from their farcical lawsuit trying to destroy Fox News for its supposedly dangerous, deadly, and inept coronavirus coverage. Earlier this week, the case took an even more baffling turn when, as part of a new filing, WASHLITE cited the Second Amendment in a case pertaining to the First…

Opening Up America

The choice before us seems to be no choice at all: stay inside and have no human contact with another soul, keep businesses closed, denying a livelihood to millions, or step outside and risk death. Though I believe the risk is small when comparing the number of people who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 and have recovered with the number who have died, fear may be the greater threat.

Fake News: CNN’s Darcy Claims Fox News ‘Largely Ignored’ Coronavirus

Former conservative media writer-turned-CNN media quack Oliver Darcy pinch hit Wednesday night for Brian Stelter in the daily media newsletter and, predictably, it was dominated by his deep hatred for Fox News. Even worse, Darcy’s falsely claimed that Fox News “largely ignored the virus in the afternoon and into its primetime programming” due to the declassified unmasking list on Michael Flynn…

MRC Founder Bozell to Facebook: ‘Get Rid of This Oversight Board'

Facebook’s new Oversight Board poorly represents conservatives. That was the conclusion of a new Media Research Center report “The Radical Views Behind Facebook’s New Oversight Board.” “If Facebook wants to be a real platform, let people speak and get rid of this Oversight Board,” said Media Research Center founder and President Brent Bozell, at an official press conference hosted by the MRC…
