‘Socialism’ Absent from 9,000-Word NYT Story on Venezulean Woes
The New York Times’ abject refusal to pin the socialism label on the failed and starving state of Venezuela is well-documented (as is the paper’s whitewashing of that and other tyrannical left-wing regimes). In the newest Times Sunday Magazine, writer Wil S. Hylton devoted nearly 9,000 words to fiery, often-imprisoned opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez, “Can Venezuela Be Saved?” yet managed to…

Meet the Press Panel Laments the Lack of Progress on Gun Control

WashPost: Crying Jimmy Kimmel Is 'America's Conscience' and Also Funny
The Washington Post gushed all over ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel on the morning before he hosts the Oscars, but reporter Geoff Edgers didn’t focus on the Oscars. It began by honoring his teary sermon about Health Care For All. The headline was "Late show of emotion: Jimmy Kimmel might be America’s conscience but he’ll still do anything for a laugh."

Snopes.com Spurs a Facebook Ruckus By Fact-Checking Obvious CNN Satire
Talk about humor-deprived! Snopes.com followed other fact-checkers in warning about the Christian satire site Babylon Bee. But was anyone really going to buy this headline as real, Snopes? "CNN Purchases Industrial-Sized Washing Machine To Spin News Before Publication." Once Snopes warned this was "FALSE," Facebook sent a note to Babylon Bee threatening to mess with their ability to advertise and…
Press Not Interested in Russian Meddling — Against U.S. Fossil Fuels
The establishment press has thus far virtually ignored a Thursday report issued by Republican-majority staff members at the House Science Committee on Russian meddling. Per the report, this meddling involved "Russian agents (who) were exploiting American social media platforms in an effort to disrupt domestic energy markets, suppress research and development of fossil-fuels, and stymie efforts to…
Liberal Media’s Hypocrisy: Imagine If Jared Kushner Was a Kennedy
It is remarkable to see the headlines about presidential aides Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump in the liberal media. The son-in-law and daughter of President Trump are now getting routinely hammered in The Washington Post, The New York Times, on CNN and even in The Wall Street Journal editorial pages, the latter decidedly not in the “liberal media” category. But what is particularly noticeable is…
Dawn of March — Entertainment’s Biggest Winner and Loser

NYT: 'Hard Right’ in Trump & Neo-Fascist Europe; ‘Trickle-Down' Insult
The New York Times starkly revealed its disparate, biased, and hopelessly confused treatment of fascist and socialist ideologies on Saturday, with Trump indirectly lumped in with European fascist parties. Reporter Jason Horowitz was featured on Saturday’s front page, “In Italian Campaign, Gravity of Far Right Exerts Its Strongest Pull.” Horowitz threw out plenty of “far-right” and “hard right”…

Flashback: The View Spewed Hate at Threat of ‘Radical Christians'
In February, the Media Research Center announced a campaign to hold ABC’s advertisers accountable for the anti-Christian bigotry spewed on The View. There, the show’s co-hosts smeared Christians as “dangerous” and “mentally ill.” But The View’s history of bashing people of faith didn’t start in 2018.
This Week in Media Bias History: Guess Who Blamed Reagan for... Trump?
According to PBS, Ronald Reagan was to blame for AIDS, homelessness... and the rise of Donald Trump??? That was the claim from the taxpayer-supported network on February 24, 1998. Other examples from This Week in Media Bias History include: Admiring the “geek-chic cool” of Al Gore and mocking conservative Arizonians as “cranky retirees.”
WashPost Misleads: Gun-Control Rally Wasn't 'Bumped' by Park Service
On Thursday afternoon, a Washington Post email carried a very misleading headline, which was “‘March For Our Lives’ gun-control rally bumped from Mall by ‘talent show’.” The headline in Friday's newspaper was similar, "'March for our Lives' rally bumped from Mall." It sounds like a Trump conspiracy to interfere. The word “bumped” would imply the gun-control activists had secured a permit from the…
Five Reasons Jimmy Kimmel’s Oscars Will Go Hard Left (Again)
Ratings for politically-charged awards shows are tanking. The Oscars telecast suffers serious ratings slippage each winter. The New York Times recently reported that analyzing ratings during awards shows finds audiences fleeing when the stars summon their soapboxes. Naturally, the minds behind the gala want to reverse that trend. Thus the synchronized sentiments for a less partisan night…
Politico Writer Angry at Broward Sheriff for Hurting Anti-NRA Meme
Michael Grunwald expressed his anger in Politico magazine at Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel. He is upset because Sheriff Israel's inept leadership has diverted attention away from the anti-NRA narrative being promoted by the left and the mainstream media.
