CNN mocked the governor of Florida under the headline "Stuck in his safe space: DeSantis hides on Fox. This kind of shaming fails to address that the entire rest of the national media are a "safe space" for Democrats like Joe Biden. In a round of interviews with PBS, CNN, and MSNBC, Biden found a safe space for tender questions and anchors who found him "fascinating," and a "delight" to hear…

As NewsBusters has extensively documented, CNN host Chris “Fredo” Cuomo has an affinity for the left-wing terrorist group Antifa; claiming they had a “good cause” and “morality” on their side. So, it came as no surprise when, on Tuesday’s Cuomo PrimeTime, he emphatically argued that protests were under no obligation to be peaceful.

Left-wing comedian Bill Maher closed Friday’s Real Time with a monologue that might have upset liberals. After all, it called into question the wisdom of the lockdowns that they have championed. However, the HBO host later made up for it by comparing President Trump to a murderous Nigerian dictator.

Completely ignoring his recent racist comment declaring “you ain’t black” if you’re African American and vote for President Trump, the broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) praised former Vice President Joe Biden for providing a “stark” and “sharp” contrast to the President on the matter of George Floyd’s death.

In the wee hours of the night, early on June 2, CNN host Chris Cuomo brought on his family friend Father Edward Beck, and they discussed President Trump's pose with a Bible in front of St. John's Episcopal Church across from the White House, which had been lit on fire in the unrest. 

Having long since decided to abandon being a journalist and instead offer condescending, partisan, vile commentaries against President Trump and others he doesn’t like, CNN’s AC360 host Anderson Cooper joined his fellow CNN performance artists Monday in throwing Olbermann-like tantrums. In light of the President giving another address to the nation and walking over to the damaged St. John’s…

Today's episode in journalistic kookiness comes from Andrew Feinberg, who writes for the "new" (not weekly) Newsweek and the Independent newspaper from London. Feinberg is proud of himself for comparing Pearl Harbor (U.S. death toll: 2,400) to June 1 protests in Lafayette Park across from the White House (death toll: zero). He pinned this on his Twitter page. 

During an interview with NYPD Chief Terence Monahan on Tuesday, CBS This Morning co-host Tony Dokoupil pressed him to admit “racism” was plaguing police departments across the country. After Monahan rejected the notion, Dokoupil and fellow co-host Gayle King engaged in hand-wringing over his refusal to accept the accusation.

The New York Times Magazine’s ahistorical “1619 Project” author has been all over media outlets this week commenting on the riots and protests over the death of George Floyd. On Tuesday, she made some disturbing arguments justifying violence, to PBS’s Christiane Amanpour and on CBS News Live. Amanpour actually responded as if she agreed with the NYT journalist condoning looting and property…

The media has not only been downplaying and ignoring the violence caused by Antifa for years, they’ve also been increasingly defending them from scrutiny. On Fox and Friends this morning, journalist Lara Logan went after The New York Times for doing exactly that, after President Trump announced he would designate the violent left-wing anarchist group as a terrorist organization.

On Monday, the network morning shows offered a combined 69 seconds of coverage on historic St. John’s Church in Washington, D.C. being set on fire and vandalized by violent protesters Sunday night. On Tuesday, those same broadcasts devoted a combined 30 minutes of coverage to hyping the “outrage” over President Trump visiting the church Monday evening.

The networks spent this morning crying outrage at President Trump for visiting the historic St. John’s Church on Monday to show his support, after Antifa broke windows and tried to burn it down the night before. On Good Morning America, White House correspondent Cecilia Vega was more upset at President Trump taking photos in front of the church, than she was of the rioters who defaced the…

From the start, TV news media have done their darnedest to paint the riots happening across the country in a positive light. While many journalists have glossed over the widespread violence by relying on misleading characterizations like “mostly peaceful,” others have outright defended and justified the rioting.
