On Thursday's Amanpour & Co. on PBS and CNN International, NPR weekend anchor Michel Martin prodded The New Yorker's Evan Osnos to suggest that Donald Trump supporters are racists even if they don't like to admit it. He also hinted that they vote racist because they support a President whose actions "explicitly, demonstrably, measurably harm people of color."
A significant plot of season 4 of CBS’s reboot of MacGyver was dedicated to Mac (Lucas Till) trying to stop a criminal mastermind conglomerate called Codex from trying to end the world. Their reasoning was your typical liberal propaganda, as there are supposedly too many people in the world (actually overpopulation is a myth) and climate change is so evil that they need to ‘reset’ the world which, in reality, means destroying it with a nuclear bomb.
CBS's Late Show host Stephen Colbert devoted nearly the entire show on Thursday to liberal media darling and Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-NY). In turn, the interview was loaded with softballs. While Colbert did not find any time to confront Cuomo over his state’s insane nursing homes policy requiring them to accept those who contract coronavirus, the left-wing comedian trumpeted a survey showing Cuomo and his CNN anchor brother tied for “most desirable men” in New York. This led Colbert to ponder who should play Andrew on the big screen.
Reporter Maggie Astor profiled several young conservatives for her full-page lead National story in Thursday’s New York Times: “For Young Republicans, Abortion Fight Remains a Deal Breaker.” The framing of that headline is so strange. At first glance, one could easily think the “deal breaker” refers to the abortion issue being an electoral problem for the Republican Party, as liberal young people flock to the more socially liberal Democrats.
The timing couldn’t be any better for a sexy-themed adult-coloring book featuring former vice president and current 2020 Democrat nominee Joe Biden, right? Actually, don’t answer that.
A powerful left-wing nonprofit network published a letter from health care professionals calling for mass censorship to fight “misinformation.” Nonprofit activist platform Avaaz released the letter from “doctors, nurses and health experts from around the world” to sound the alarm about a “global infodemic, with viral misinformation on social media threatening lives around the world.” Avaaz has been cited as “the globe's largest and most powerful online activist network” by The Guardian.
Along with reporters donning masks (which led to muffled questions), Friday’s abbreviated White House Press Briefing was tough sledding for the liberal media. Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany began her third briefing highlighting the Justice Department dropping the Michael Flynn case and citing NewsBusters before ending later with a zing to a perturbed Paula Reid from CBS.
Even when the Trump administration is visiting hospitals, the media finds a way to spin it as controversial. ABC late night host Jimmy Kimmel continued his petty crusade against Mike Pence, Thursday, by mocking the vice president for delivering boxes of personal protective equipment to a nursing home in Alexandria, Virginia, this week. But the talk show host misled viewers by purposefully shortening the video clip of Pence delivering boxes, in a pathetic attempt to embarrass him.
Did MSNBC Legal Analyst Jill Wine-Banks somehow think it wouldn’t be controversial or a stain on her objectivity to fund presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s campaign? Federal Election Commission records show that Wine-Banks contributed the maximum FEC-allowed $2,800 to Biden’s campaign March 10. Her contribution to Biden makes any of her analysis of the Trump administration going forward suspect due to a glaring conflict of interest. To make things worse, a Wine-Banks bio says that she is “a candidate to be a Biden delegate at the 2020 Democratic Convention."
A lawyer for CNN’s parent company Warner Media sent a cease-and-desist letter to the Trump re-election campaign claiming a new advertisement is misusing CNN news coverage in a way that's "false, misleading and deceptive." They didn't want Dr. Sanjay Gupta sounding in any way positive about President Trump. But CNN also thinks Trump should never "punch down" and complain about negative ads.
Good Morning America journalists melted down on Friday as they continued the freak out over the Justice Department dropping the case against Michael Flynn. Calling it “stunning,” a “bombshell” and “blowing up” the case, ABC worried that “Michael Flynn walks free.” The morning show also skipped over a key point in the case.
The first half of the conspiracy documentary, Plandemic, was removed several times from YouTube, according to The Washington Post. Twitter and Facebook also made statements to other media outlets confirming that both platforms were suppressing hashtags and content related to the documentary.
As former Senate staffer Tara Reade gave her first on-camera interview detailing her sexual assault allegation against Joe Biden on Thursday, neither ABC’s World News Tonight that evening nor Friday’s Good Morning America mentioned the important development. While NBC and CBS did cover the story, both networks framed Reade’s public comments as a “response to Joe Biden’s strong denial.”
Facebook is paying out millions to local news outlets, and it is being especially generous to “diverse” communities. The company announced that “200 news organizations will receive nearly $16 million in grants through the Facebook Journalism Project’s relief fund for local news,” in a May 7 press release. “These grants stem from $25 million in local news relief funding announced in March as part of Facebook’s $100 million global investment in news.”
