Get Ready for Four Years of Media Sycophancy
On Sunday, Jan. 17, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris sat down with Jane Pauley of CBS News "Sunday Morning." Pauley treated Harris to a full-on journalistic massage. At no point was Harris asked a tough question; at no point was Harris treated as anything other than an idol worthy of worship. Perhaps the most awkward manifestation of this sycophancy came when Harris -- an extraordinarily and…
Tone Deaf CBS Cheers Some Violent Rioters as Pretty Cool
To tell you how out of touch CBS journalists are, they eagerly promoted leftist actor Sacha Baron Cohen’s role as a violent communist agitator without the slightest hint of controversy. This is just weeks after a violent riot at the Capitol. Talk about tone deaf.
NYT Loves ‘Centrist’ Biden’s Unity, Using ‘Truth as a Guiding Light'
The New York Times coverage of President Biden’s Inauguration Day appeared under a banner headline in Thursday’s edition: “‘Democracy Has Prevailed’: Biden Vows to Mend Nation.” Lisa Lerer’s long front-page profile of Biden, “A President Forged by Setbacks as Much as by His Success,” turned his negatives into positives. David Sanger’s “news analysis” headline gushed: “A Call for the Return of…
MSNBC Host: Trump Would've Been Crushed for 'Super-Spreader' Inaugural
On Tuesday, MSNBC Live host Stephanie Ruhle conceded that if President Trump had an in-person Inauguration during the pandemic, the media would pounce. In a rare moment of media self-awareness, Ruhle told never-Trumper Steve Schmidt, "It will be a smaller inauguration ceremony, but they’re still having one in person and, let’s be honest, you know if President Trump did this, he would be…
Biden Toadies at CNN Rave Over President's COVID Plan
Of all the tonal shifts you'll see from the liberal media now that Joe Biden is president, the abrupt change from "everything is awful" to "everything is awesome" will be most stark on CNN. That could be seen on Thursday as Anderson Cooper and his guests raved over Biden's COVID plan. It's "factual," "very honest, "very evidence-based."
A FAR CRY FROM FOUR YEARS AGO: ‘Poetic’ Biden Delivers ‘Chills’
The exuberance began even before Joe Biden was officially sworn-in. The night before the Inauguration, CNN’s David Chalian claimed the light staging along the Lincoln Memorial’s reflecting pool was like “Joe Biden’s arms embracing America.” Biden’s arrival at Andrews Air Force Base literally gave a New York Times editor “chills.”
Column: CNN Lies About Trump's Vaccine Plans
CNN published a story with the provocative headline “Biden inheriting nonexistent coronavirus vaccine distribution plan and must start 'from scratch,' sources say.” Nonexistent? If the Trump administration had a “nonexistent” vaccine strategy, how was the vaccine distributed across the country? This is self-evidently false.
Anthony Fauci, White House Press Take Turns Trashing Team Trump
During the same Thursday briefing in which he nuked a CNN story about the Biden administration’s coronavirus vaccine distribution efforts, White House chief medical adviser Dr. Tony Fauci and members of the far-left White House press corps shared a laugh as they commiserated about having scrapped by in 2020 as the Trump administration made their lives miserable.
Cuomo: 'I Don’t Buy' CNN's Report Vaccine Distribution Starting Over
CNN was caught in an awkward situation Thursday after they first touted anonymous sources within the Biden administration as having told them they planned to rebuild COVID vaccine distribution “from scratch.” But shortly thereafter, Dr. Anthony Fauci blew up their story. Apparently, CNN’s reporting was so ridiculous that even PrimeTime host Chris “Fredo” Cuomo says he doesn’t “buy” what his…
FNC’s Doocy Strays From WH Press Corps, Grills Psaki on Amazon, Masks
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki returned for a second briefing late Thursday afternoon and, after Dr. Tony Fauci and the press corps had a friendly, laugh-filled chat about the evils of the Trump administration, she took her turn for yet another relatively pressure-free briefing. However, Psaki faced a few exceptions, led by the Fox Business Network’s Blake Burman on the Keystone XL…
Amanpour Lauds Shep Smith Not Watching Right-Wing Media
On Tuesday's Amanpour & Co. on PBS and CNN International, host Christiane Amanpour lauded Shepard Smith's negativity toward right-wing voices on Fox News Channel as the former Fox News host discussed his decision to leave the network.
CNN Gushes Over Dems Making 'History,' Slams GOP 'White Supremacists'
On Thursday afternoon, CNN cheered Vice President Kamala Harris swearing in the three new Democratic senators. Anchor Erin Burnett and left-wing pundit Bakari Sellers wasted no time to start gushing over the diversity that these new members bring to the United States Senate -- not a diversity of fresh ideas, of course, just a difference in how they look. CNN neglected to inform viewers about…
Bozell Blasts Media for Demanding the ‘Deprogramming’ Communists Want
Not only were the liberal media trying to exploit the attack on the Capitol to call for the deplatforming of conservatives, but there were some who wanted to “deprogram” conservatives. And in a Thursday evening appearance on Fox Business Network’s The Evening Edit, Media Research Center Founder and President Brent Bozell called them out for demanding what communist dictators had done to their…
Oops: Media Darling Tony Fauci Debunks Massive CNN Story on Vaccines
On Thursday morning, CNN White House correspondent MJ Lee filed an anonymously-sourced story on behalf of her fellow lefties that set the agenda for Zuckerville and like-minded outlets (which our friend Drew Holden chronicled in another legendary thread): “Biden inheriting nonexistent coronavirus vaccine distribution plan and must start ‘from scratch,’ sources say.” But as we would learn hours…
