All the Worst: CNN Year in Review Attacks Dobbs Decision, Musk
A new year is fast approaching, which means everyone and their grandmother is producing their own year in review, including CNN, whose special All the Best All the Worst 2022 aired Wednesday night with a mixed panel of CNN contributors and comedians.

Fireworks by the Dozen: Here Are the Top WH Briefing Moments of 2022
Inside the White House Briefing Room, 2022 began with more mountain-sized word salads and dodges from Jen Psaki before shifting in May to former MoveOn.org spokeswoman and former MSNBC contributor Karine Jean-Pierre, who made waves for her stunning ineptitude and using her binder as a life raft.
Column: 'Controversial' to Put Brakes on the Border?
The word "controversial" can be wielded very deliberately to define what liberal journalists don't like. This week, it was Title 42, the "controversial Trump-era border restriction."
CNN Ignores Deadly Blizzard in 'Top 10 Climate Stories of 2022'
In a pre-recorded segment aired on Tuesday and Wednesday, CNN climate correspondent Bill Weir demonstrated the tendency of journalists to ignore what contradicts a narrative they are trying to push as he omitted the current blizzard from the list of "Top 10 Climate Stories of 2022."
Bad Political Theater from the January 6 Committee
In a theatrical performance the worst thing that can happen is to have a predictable outcome. That is precisely what occurred with the Jan. 6 Committee, which has referred former President Donald Trump to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution on four counts – “influencing or impeding an official proceeding of the U.S. government”, “conspiring to defraud the U.S”, “unlawfully,…
CNN: Return of Netanyahu Brings Scary ‘Right-Wing Government’
The term “right-wing” has become a slur the liberal media sling around to describe politics they don’t like in an attempt to turn off the public to right-of-center politics. As an example, just look at how CNN reporter and fill-in anchor Sara Sidner chose to talk about the return of Benjamin Netanyahu as Israel’s prime minister during Thursday’s CNN Newsroom.
‘Come On!’ CNN Slams Lack of Oppo Research on George Santos
On Thursday’s edition of The Lead, fill-in CNN host Phil Mattingly pointed out the incompetence of the former campaign team for Robert Zimmerman, the New York Democrat who was defeated in the 2022 midterm election by embattled Congressman-elect George Santos. It was recently revealed that an absurd number of autobiographical claims Santos made on the campaign trail were whole-cloth…
NBC Gushes Over PBS 'Legend' Ken Burns and His New $75 Photo Book
The PBS-branded "American icon" Ken Burns appeared on Wednesday’s Today on NBC to plug his latest book of photographs, Our America: A Photographic History. This 5.75-pound coffee-table book will set you back $75 ($65 at Amazon). At Amazon, you can find the PBS logo hawking several Ken Burns products -- pretty slick for "non-commercial" TV.
CBS MELTS DOWN Over Bibi’s ‘Far-Right’ Govt ‘Targeting’ Gays, Women
On Thursday, Benjamin Netanyahu returned as Israel’s prime minister with a right-of-center government led in part by his Likud Party. But just as was the case following Israel’s latest election (its fifth in four years), CBS Mornings melted down over Netanyahu’s latest coalition “as Israel’s most far-right government” in history that could result in the “targeting” of American Jews, gays, non-…
NPR's TV Critic Laments 'Copaganda' Shows, Elon, and Stelter Firing
National Public Radio television critic Eric Deggans issued a left-wing-tinged, year-end lament on the state of the media: “Six ways media took a big step backward in 2022.” Deggans was particularly obsessed with Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter, but spared some sadness for (former) CNN media reporter Brian Stelter and (former) lefty late-night host Samantha Bee.
CBS Moans Oppressed Citizens Got China’s Zero-COVID Policy Lifted
Finally, CBS has found civil unrest they don’t like. During Thursday’s CBS Mornings, the network moaned about the Chinese citizens that took to the streets a few weeks ago to protest the communist regime’s zero-COVID policy. Despite the fact the policy saw people get welded into their homes and literally dragged kicking and screaming to fates unknown, the network huffed that COVID was now…
On MSNBC, Dem Descendant of Holocaust Victims Blames Santos On Trump
On Morning Joe, Democrat Rep.-elect Jared Moskowitz, a descendant of Holocaust victims, slams George Santos for lying about being a descendant of Holocaust victims, then adds that it's "not surprising, unfortunately, because this is what folks on his side of the aisle have learned. They have learned this from, you know, the leader of their party. That you can traffic in these lies and you can…
Forlorn CBS Shovels More Sob Stories of SCOTUS Stranding Illegals
Thursday’s CBS Mornings was desperate to keep up the sob stories and a lack of concern for border security amid the latest installment of the Biden border crisis, continuing to fret that there’s “no easy end to” this with illegal immigrants now having to suffer through a long “wait” because of the Supreme Court’s decision to halt the end of Title 42.
