Biden inauguration

In 1980, singer Neil Diamond recorded a song that celebrated American immigration, first in the early 1900s and then more recently. The song included this chorus: "On the boats and on the planes / They're coming to America / Never looking back again / They're coming to America." The song makes no distinction between the legal and orderly immigration of the early 20th century and the chaotic…

On Sunday, Jan. 17, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris sat down with Jane Pauley of CBS News "Sunday Morning." Pauley treated Harris to a full-on journalistic massage. At no point was Harris asked a tough question; at no point was Harris treated as anything other than an idol worthy of worship. Perhaps the most awkward manifestation of this sycophancy came when Harris -- an extraordinarily and…

The New York Times coverage of President Biden’s Inauguration Day appeared under a banner headline in Thursday’s edition: “‘Democracy Has Prevailed’: Biden Vows to Mend Nation.” Lisa Lerer’s long front-page profile of Biden, “A President Forged by Setbacks as Much as by His Success,” turned his negatives into positives. David Sanger’s “news analysis” headline gushed: “A Call for the…

On Tuesday, MSNBC Live host Stephanie Ruhle conceded that if President Trump had an in-person Inauguration during the pandemic, the media would pounce. In a rare moment of media self-awareness, Ruhle told never-Trumper Steve Schmidt, "It will be a smaller inauguration ceremony, but they’re still having one in person and, let’s be honest, you know if President Trump did this, he would…

The exuberance began even before Joe Biden was officially sworn-in. The night before the Inauguration, CNN’s David Chalian claimed the light staging along the Lincoln Memorial’s reflecting pool was like “Joe Biden’s arms embracing America.” Biden’s arrival at Andrews Air Force Base literally gave a New York Times editor “chills.”

On Thursday afternoon, CNN cheered Vice President Kamala Harris swearing in the three new Democratic senators. Anchor Erin Burnett and left-wing pundit Bakari Sellers wasted no time to start gushing over the diversity that these new members bring to the United States Senate -- not a diversity of fresh ideas, of course, just a difference in how they look.

On Wednesday night and Thursday morning, both NBC and CBS touted leftist presidential historian Michael Beschloss cheering the Biden administration’s first White House press briefing as “the first non-weird press briefing in the White House I’ve seen in four years.” It was his way of saying that the liberal press are happy that their Democratic Party allies are back in power.

En un anticipo de cómo serán las noticias en español durante el gobierno de Biden por los próximos cuatro años, los medios en español enfocaron sus reportes de la inauguración de Biden en lo más imprescindible para sus negocios: un nuevo llamado a una amplia reforma de inmigración.

The View started off Thursday praising President Biden’s inaugural address yesterday afternoon, but also doing the usual Republican bashing the liberal hosts are known for, ironically in between praising Biden for wanting to “unite the country.

In a preview of what Spanish-language news coverage of the Biden Administration will look like for the next four years, the networks focused their coverage of the Biden inaugural on what is most critically important to business: a renewed open push for comprehensive immigration reform.

During President Biden’s inauguration yesterday, the networks repeatedly reminded Americans of the horrible violence from Trump supporters two weeks ago, storming the Capitol over the election results. But, overnight, violent leftists took the streets, rioting in two different cities in “protest” over Biden’s election, and the networks couldn’t care less.

One of the dumber lines of progressive vilification of Donald Trump was that he was somehow anti-LGBT. Sure, he didn’t show up at Pride Parades in a leather Speedo, but neither did Barack Obama. And, unlike Obama, Trump was already publicly in favor of gay marriage when he took office. But because he (or some of his advisors) was reluctant to use the federal civil rights apparatus to hollow…

PBS White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor's reaction to President Biden's inaugural address on Wednesday gave insight into how the press will treat him over the next four years. Gone are the days of hostile questioning and in are the days where the White House press corps can take the president at his word, because he is not a serial spreader of lies and misinformation.

Joe Biden says he'll "advance racial equity" by making "bold investments" in "Affordable Housing," aiding "businesses owned by Black and Brown people," establishing an "Equity Commission," etc. Gosh, that'll do it. Others demand reparations for slavery, more social programs and defunding the police. Yet, economist Thomas Sowell says, "I haven't been able to find a single country in the world…
