New York Times Lunges to Defend Fake Spaniard ‘Hilaria’ Baldwin
Not all culture cancellations are the same. The emerging “news” that Hilaria Baldwin (wife of former screen star Alec Baldwin) has been faking her Spanish origins is the subject of much recent online mirth. Yet somehow this ignominy has earned her not condemnation, but a supportive platform in the New York Times, headlined “Hilaria Baldwin: ‘I’m Living My Life.’” Stop the presses! The story’s…
No Mocking CNN on Facebook! Humorless USA Today INTERN Squashes It
David Bozell, the son of MRC founder and president Brent Bozell, called me the other day to bring my attention to a USA Today “fact check” that blocks a meme on the Facebook page of their group For America. It’s a humorous CNN-mocking meme of only 15 words:

CNN's Zakaria: 'Dirty Little Secret'—Trump Was Tough on Russia!
On New Day, CNN host Fareed Zakaria says that the "dirty little secret is that....the Trump Administration was pretty tough on the Russians. They armed Ukraine, they armed the Poles. They extended NATO operations and exercises in ways that even the Obama Administration had not done."
CNN, CBS Highlight Black Police Shooting Victims, Ignore Other Races
In the final week of 2020, as the media have covered the disturbing case of an unarmed black man, Andre Hill, who was recently killed by a police officer in Columbus, Ohio, CNN and CBS have both presented misleading statistics on the number of African Americans who have been killed by police officers since George Floyd's death from May.
Column: The Year in Favoritism Toward Liberal Bias
The Poynter Institute is a Florida-based journalism group that runs PolitiFact. On Poynter.org, they run a daily media report by Tom Jones, who sounds like Brian Stelter’s identically thinking twin. Their incessant party line of liberal-media cheerleading and conservative-media loathing really came through when Jones made a list of the “best and worst news media” of 2020.
MSNBC Laments Christmas Gatherings 'Will Lead to Somebody Dying'
On Tuesday’s Morning Joe, MSNBC fill in hosts Jonathan Lemire and Kasie Hunt conspired with medical contributor Dr. Kavita Patel and Princeton professor Eddie Glaude Jr. to attack the Trump administration for the COVID vaccine rollout and Americans for gathering with their loved ones on Christmas.

This MSNBC Host Said Reaganism Leads to 'Mass Death' from Coronavirus

NY Times Still Carrying a Torch for Jon Ossoff, 'A Dream Son-In-Law'
The New York Times is still carrying a torch for failed 2017 Democratic congressional candidate Jon Ossoff, so young, so photogenic, so liberal. He faces Republican Sen. David Perdue in a January 6 runoff for a vital seat in Georgia. On Monday, reporters Reid Epstein and Serge Kovaleski gushed on the front page over Ossoff's resume. On Thursday, Epstein, along with fellow reporter Lisa Lerer,…
NPR Touts Biden Spokesman Won't Allow 'A Platform for Right-Wing Spin'
On Thursday’s Morning Edition, National Public Radio touted their Jen Psaki interview with the headline “Biden's Incoming Press Secretary: Briefings Won't Be A Platform For Right-Wing Spin.” As usual, NPR thinks “right-wing spin” is the opposite of their reportage….which is “objective.” Not left-wing spin!
REWIND: The Media’s Four-Year War Against the Trump Presidency
While every President has their critics in the press, the Trump presidency has been unique in that a massive percentage of the media — hosts, columnists, commentators, contributors, anchors and working reporters — openly mock and disparage the President of the United States, often to the cheers of their brethren.
Media Ignore 'Most Admired Man' Poll After Trump Edges Obama
On Tuesday morning, Fox News viewers got to see that, for the first time, President Donald Trump has come in first place in Gallup's annual poll of "most admired man" of the year. But in contrast with how journalists swooned over former President Barack Obama the last time he came in first place, the other networks have so far ignored the finding.
Kooky CNN Doc: Only 'Regime Change' Will Get Pandemic Under Control
On CNN's New Day, CNN medical analyst Dr. Jonathan Reiner says, "many of us have thought over the last several months that we were only going to get this pandemic under control with regime change." Regime change is a term that typically refers to the forceful overthrow of a foreign government.
Cuomo-Backing CNN Gripes About DeSantis Giving Vaccine to Elderly
Not only was CNN crucial in helping to downplay New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s (D) mass slaughter of nursing home residents earlier this year after packing coronavirus patients inside such facilities, but they spent Wednesday decrying Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ (R) call to prioritize elderly residents of his state so they can get vaccinated against the same virus.
