On her Saturday show, unhinged left-wing MSNBC host Tiffany Cross launched into a tirade against usually liberal-leaning HBO host Bill Maher for daring to call out radical woke leftists like her for being wildly out of touch. Trashing Maher as an “old angry white man,” Cross was eager to play the race card and claimed out of control cancel culture was “evolution.”

Unlike the journalists at ABC, who last week downplayed and hid the tardy visit by Kamala Harris to the border, CBS on Monday actually grilled Homeland Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on the ongoing disaster that is the southern border.

Between January 28 and March 29, Media Research Center analysts tallied just over 100 minutes of Cuomo scandal coverage on ABC, CBS and NBC’s evening newscasts, yet not a single second in the 12 weeks that have followed.

On Sunday's Reliable Sources, CNN host Brian Stelter began with a poisonous rant on how Sean Hannity goes on poisonous rants. In other words, Stelter argued Hannity is too angry for television, while being every bit as angry. As usual, Stelter insisted Hannity attacking reporters as "stalkers" is authoritarian, in a rant in which he denounced Fox News as poison.

On Friday's edition of The 11th Hour on MSNBC, host Brian Williams seemed to suggest that Fox News be banned from military bases because Tucker Carlson responded to Gen. Mark Milley's recent defense of Critical Race Theory by declaring "He’s not just a pig. He’s stupid." Later, Williams tried to tie concerns about CRT in the military to Vladimir Putin.

A front-page story from the New York Times Sunday, “Biden’s Push for Racial Equity Hits Legal and Political Snags,” opened and closed with affecting stories of hardship under sympathetic headlines. The story virtually ignored the central reality of racial discrimination within Biden's "American Rescue Plan." A program offering debt relief to black farmers only is also under scrutiny. 

In the closing minutes of Sunday’s Meet the Press, NBC political director Chuck Todd led a panel of mostly liberal media types in a discussion accusing the Republican Party of a nationwide effort to strip Biden voters, more specifically minorities, of their right to vote. Luckily, Danielle Pletka, senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute stood in the breach and called out the lies,…

On his Real Time show on HBO on Friday night, Bill Maher lashed out at Google and Facebook for suppressing anyone merely asking the question if the coronavirus leaked out of a lab in Wuhan. Science is supposed to be about testing a hypothesis, but some of those had to be crushed...for politics. 

With President Biden trying to walk back his apparent threat to veto the bipartisan infrastructure bill if he didn’t get a massive social spending bill (so-called “human infrastructure”) in tandem, ABC’s This Week fill-in host Jonathan Karl pressed Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) to use his “leverage” to move Republicans to the left and have them support the multi-trillion-dollar expenditure.

Dismissing conservative concerns about wokeness is nothing new for NBC "comedian" Seth Meyers, but in his attempt to dismiss criticism of Critical Race Theory on Friday's edition of Late Night, Meyers crossed the line from ridicule to spreading verifiably false information. 

Washington Post drama critic Peter Marks wrote what sounds like an endorsement, an article headlined "The 2020 Democratic National Convention won with viewers. Now its organizers hope to win an Emmy." Marks gushed the virtual convention was "Widely praised for its seamless pacing, technological mastery and thematic discipline."

Appearing on Tiffany Cross's MSNBC show, former LAPD cop Cheryl Dorsey turned self-styled "social advocate" blames the police for the current crime surge, calling them "butt-hurt" and "cowardly."  Cross and Dorsey float a conspiracy theory that the police are intentionally inflating crime statistics in order to stave off de-funding efforts. 

Over here in NewsBusters, my colleague Tim Graham has taken note of a story at Hot Air on a report on trust in the media. The report is discussed by Rick Edmonds of the Poynter Institute. Tim quotes it thusly: 

Politico has used "Republicans pounced" so much that it must have embarrassed them enough to change gears slightly and switch to "Republicans seized."
