Politico Wonders: Is Fox’s Peter Doocy ‘Trolling the White House?’
Politico Magazine’s Friday “cover story” profiled Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy and, topping out at nearly 5,000 words, featured plenty of interesting biographical information about his upbringing (with his father being Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy), his approach to covering the White House, and his views on journalism.
Hateful NY Times: Florida, Texas Bills Show GOP Has Embraced 'Lies'
The New York Times continues to vituperatively attack Republican efforts to keep the voting process secure. Recent moves by GOP-led legislatures in Florida and Texas caused the latest meltdown in Friday’s edition: "Republicans have pressed forward with these bills over the protests of countless Democrats, civil rights groups, faith leaders, voting rights groups and multinational corporations,…
‘View:' 'You Could Trust' Media Before ‘Dangerous’ ‘Dishonest’ Fox
It’s always hilarious when the hosts of one of the most partisan and fact-free shows on television pompously lecture others about the importance of truth telling in the media. On The View Friday, the hosts attacked Fox News, while ignoring all other media outlets, as a dangerous and dishonest news organization leading Americans astray with misinformation.
GMA Predicts ‘Blockbuster Jobs Report,’ Then Silent on Abysmal Numbers
Early in the 7:00 a.m. ET hour, ABC’s Good Morning America excitedly hyped projections that the April jobs report about to be released would show that the U.S. economy added one million jobs, however, when the actual abysmal numbers were released a short time later, the broadcast never found time to update viewers with the bad news.
CBS Lets Vacation Buddy Gayle King Interview Michelle Obama
In the world of CBS, conflict of interest apparently doesn’t exist. Gayle King is a Democratic donor and Barack Obama donor. She has vacationed with the family. Yet, who lands the exclusive interview with Mrs. Obama? Gayle King of course. Sounding like a PR Democratic hack, King gushed on Friday, “Michelle Obama is still speaking out on the issues that she championed as First Lady.
Central Insanity Agency
The Central Intelligence Agency is always looking to recruit new agents and advertising is one way it has done so in the past. The difference this time is in a newly created series of recruitment videos that reflect the spirit of the age in which we live, rather than appealing to abilities and patriotism. The videos seem to suggest that the super-secret agency has been infiltrated, not by…
Politico Reporter: I'll Get 'In Trouble' Saying FL Law Not So Bad
Politico reporter Marc Caputo, appearing on Morning Joe, prefaces his remarks about the Florida election law that Governor Ron DeSantis signed into law yesterday by saying: "I guess I’m going to say something that is going to get me in trouble, in that it’s not as bad as the critics say it is."
Column: NPR at 50 Years -- Still a Liberal Sandbox
National Public Radio is celebrating its 50th anniversary this week in a classic way: asking their fans for money. A fundraising email gushes “From covering the Vietnam War in 1971 to the COVID-19 vaccination effort today, and everything in between, NPR has delivered fact-based news and trustworthy analysis to millions.” If you’re a conservative, you see NPR as a sandbox for liberals, and…
The Smell of Pork Spending Sizzling in Congress Unappetizing to Nets
As Congress prepared to slink into their smoke-filled backrooms to craft the next federal budget, President Biden made it clear that his old-timey ways meant that the era of wasteful earmarks and pork-barrel spending was back. And despite Democrats and some Republicans packing on millions of dollars of taxpayer money in spending for their pet projects in their home districts, the flagship…
MSNBC’s Reid, Steele: Stefanik Is Feces Inside Trump’s ‘Gold Toilet’
MSNBC’s The ReidOut has had quite the week, going from hating trans Republicans on Tuesday to being pro-al-Qaeda on Wednesday to Thursday’s declaration of being a pro-toilet humor show. This new development came thanks to host Joy Reid and former RNC Chairman Michael Steele joking that Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) was human feces who was treating Donald Trump’s “gold toilet” at the RNC…
MSNBC: Don't Know How Florida Bill Will Suppress The Vote, But It Will
MSNBC correspondent Sam Brock admitted on Thursday's Hallie Jackson Reports that critics of Florida's new election law do not know how it will suppress the vote, but are certain it will. Meanwhile, in Texas, fellow correspondent Jane Timm described that state's new election law as "chilling" for adding "felony penalties for various parts of the election process."
ABC/CBS Blind to Biden Administration’s ‘Shell Game’ With Migrant Kids
As the Biden administration released new images Thursday from inside a Border Patrol facility to show how they were allegedly getting a hand on the border crisis, Democratic Texas Congressman Henry Cuellar called them out for playing a “shell game” with migrant kids by just shuffling them around. Of course, Fox News, and surprisingly NBC Nightly News highlighted the administration’s attempted…
America's Race Toward Two Cultures
I spent late Saturday afternoon in what has become, for me, a rite of spring. I watched the Kentucky Derby. I am no afficionado of horse racing and will not betray my ignorance of the sport's desiderata in this column. At most, I watch three horse races a year. After the Kentucky Derby, I watch the remainder of the races hoping to round off the Triple Crown. The Derby is a spectacle, from the…
White-Savior Movies, Bad; White-Savior Politicians, Good
I recently came across the term "white-savior movies." According to critics, this is a type of film that features a white hero or heroine entering the life of a helpless, troubled, often clueless Black person and, as one Black critic puts it, "swoops in" to turn his or her life around.
