YouTube has removed video footage of a U.S. Senate hearing — at least the second time the platform has censored a Senate hearing. YouTube took down “two videos of doctors testifying under oath,” Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) tweeted on January 27. The testimonies, uploaded to YouTube by Johnson, were during a Dec. 8 Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing that discussed early treatments for COVID…

Tuesday’s White House press briefing was perhaps Press Secretary Jen Psaki’s most combative one yet, facing tough questions on China, coronavirus relief, illegal immigration, Israel, and schools but also softballs on topics like COVID and impeachment. And on an equally important note, not a single reporter stepped up and asked Psaki about the embarrassing Daily Beast report that her team had…

Alleged funnyman Stephen Colbert claimed on Monday's edition of The Late Show on CBS that the ten Republican senators trying to find a compromise solution with President Biden on COVID relief are the worst kind of losers. They are "absent-minded caribou" who are proposing that instead of simply letting Americans drown, they want to be able to wave to them while they drown.

In an era of political rage in America, Dolly Parton is still intent on keeping her political standpoints close to the chest. 

Liberal CNN host Fareed Zakaria cornered Climate Envoy John Kerry on the Biden administration’s executive orders that killed thousands of U.S. jobs. Zakaria took the time to throw Kerry at least one curveball in an interview on the Jan. 31 edition of CNN’s Fareed Zakaria GPS.

Who cares if Joe Biden was just joshing when he said he wanted to govern in a bipartisan way? At least he didn't curse out Mitt Romney and Susan Collins when he met with them and other Republican senators at the White House yesterday. Ain't Joe wonderful? Unlike that other guy whose name shall not be mentioned. That was the gist of the coverage on MSNBC and CNN this morning regarding the White…

During the Trump years, journalists told us that Democracy dies in darkness and that only an alert, adversarial press could save the country. Now? Everything’s fine and we should just trust the government. That’s the gist of what CBS This Morning co-host Gayle King pushed on Tuesday. Talking to Republican Senator Bill Cassidy about the COVID relief bill, she suggested that Joe Biden probably…

In the aftermath of findings that the Andrew Cuomo administration underreported the number of COVID deaths linked to New York nursing homes and thus tried to cover up the deadly consequences of his decision to send COVID patients into such facilities, the more liberal networks have shown little interest in the story while Fox News has covered the bombshell extensively.

After using Monday’s press briefing to lobby and advocate for the Biden administration to ditch working with Senate Republicans on a bipartisan COVID relief bill, the broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) showed off their efforts during their evening newscasts. They also used the opportunity to attack the GOP’s relief bill as unserious and an attempt to “test” President Biden’s calls for…

With a blanket of snow covering much of the northeast, Monday’s White House press briefing served as a warm blanket for Democrats and the comfort food to the Biden team with Press Secretary Jen Psaki taking a shot at “conservative Twitter,” reporters urging them not to compromise with and be “rutheless” toward Republicans, and one of them wondering whether they’ve had an “easier” time with…

With teachers’ unions proving to be a major roadblock in preventing struggling kids from returning to school, CBS Face the Nation moderator Margaret Brennan used her show Sunday to press the Biden administration to use his “bully pulpit” to provide “political cover” for his “fellow Democrats” in the unions. This, as students were committing suicide across the country due to isolation and…

Shortly before their evening newscasts Thursday, news broke that the Biden administration had approved a plan to give terrorists housed at Guantanamo Bay (including 9/11 mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed) precious doses of the coronavirus vaccine ahead of most Americans. Doing their part to cover-up President Biden’s blunder, CBS has yet to report the story to viewers on any of their flagship…

Friday concluded the first full week of Biden White House press briefings and, by this point, we’ve noticed a few trends. Aside from Press Secretary Jen Psaki refusing to answer any number of questions, two takeaways are the lack of condescension and hostility from reporters and biting responses from the press secretary. Instead, we’ve seen plenty of softballs, reverence for administration…

On Friday, ABC’s Good Morning America maintained the liberal network’s censorship of the scandal swirling around Democratic New York Governor Andrew Cuomo over a disturbing new report that his administration undercounted the number of coronavirus nursing home deaths in the state by 50%. Despite ABC’s continued journalistic malpractice, CBS This Morning discovered the news and the Today show…
