In the alternative universe of Vox, “Fox News is more consistently propagandistic than MSNBC and boasts a 42 percent larger viewership. Right-wing talk radio dwarfs the influence of progressive alternatives.” They claim "the U.S. media landscape is tilted against Biden." It's the silly old argument from Eric Alterman, pretending the liberal media is a figment of right-wing imaginations.

Some major news broke today with regard to U.S. sanctions against Venezuela and with potentially huge implications on the border crisis. But you wouldn’t know it from watching any of the network evening newscasts.

Joy Behar was a purported “comedian,” but during Tuesday’s edition of ABC’s The View, she decried the idea of the court jesters speaking truth to power and warned that comedy was the source of dictators. She blamed former President Obama for endangering the world because he made fun of former President Trump at a dinner. She also, insanely, accused comedian Charlie Chaplin of creating Adolf…

Factcheck.org may be the least offensive of all the fact-checking websites, but that is a low bar as it still has issues with case selection, but managing editor Lori Robertson claimed on C-SPAN’s Sunday edition of Washington Journal that they do not.

After having been indifferent toward the House Republican push to impeach Homeland Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, the “big three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC turned up the kvetching on Monday night. That continued Tuesday on their flagship morning news shows with gripes about the “splitscreen” of a “historic” impeachment while the Senate’s “work[ing] with” him on the border and how, in turn, the…

Columnist E. Jean Carroll made the rounds Monday across the liberal media in a victory lap following her legal win against former President Trump in civil assault and defamation suits. And during a Monday appearance on MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show, she offered to spend some of the $83.3 million she was awarded on supporting women’s rights; such as “new shoes,” a “penthouse,” and a luxury…

CBS’s Stephen Colbert and the Washington Post's Michele Norris teamed up on the Monday edition of The Late Show to lament, in Colbert’s word’s, the “resistance to diversity programs” and falsely accuse that opposition of not wanting to teach history in schools.

The taxpayer-supported PBS NewsHour fiercely attacked both presidential candidate Donald Trump and its journalistic competitors Fox News for racism in a segment that appeared online under the heading “Trump deploys racist tactics as Biden rematch appears likely.”  They reached back to smear Nixon and Reagan as well as they talked to a leftist about "dog-whistle politics."

As fate would have it, it fell upon one of CBS’s most ardent anti-Israel reporters, correspondent Debora Patta, to report on the news of countries pulling funding from UNRWA due to employee involvement in Hamas’ barbaric October 7th attack against Israel. Needless to say, the report went exactly as you’d expect.

House Republicans are moving to impeachment Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and CNN’s Laura Coates is not happy about it. On her Monday show, Coates feigned confusion as she echoed Democratic and DHS sentiments that the whole thing is a “farce” and "you won't find" any justification for it.

On Morning Joe, Jennifer Palmieri, a Morning Joe regular and Obama's former communications director, opposes Joe Scarborough's suggestion of bombing Iranian oil fields in retaliation for the drone attack by Iranian proxies on a US military outpost that killed three US soldiers and wounded dozens of others. She says the result of such bombing would be to raise oil prices, and that "higher gas…

By a vote of 5-4, with two conservative justices joining the liberals, the Supreme Court has ruled that federal agents can cut razor wire installed along the Texas-Mexico border while a lawsuit over the wire continues. The Border Patrol Union and its agents who have spoken to reporters favor the razor wire installation because it is working in that section of the state in keeping migrants,…

Across the dial the network evening network newscasts, using the same talking points, pumped the Senate-White House border deal, and knocked Republicans opposing the deal. And in so doing, they left out some pretty important details.

Today in federal court, the source of a major story involving stolen tax information was sentenced to a five-year prison term. Given how the story was covered, you’d expect at least minimal coverage across the major evening newscasts. But, alas, this wasn’t the case across the board.
