Double Standards

As the left now offers condolences for the death of Colin Powell -- as they should -- it's clarifying to recall what the left was saying about him before he began openly voting Democrat. Back in 2002, when the Bush administration was leading the country, Powell received what today is a common racial epithet the left uses towards minorities on the right.

On Wednesday, The Washington Free Beacon’s Andrew Stiles provided some detailed analysis of how the left-wing media have really struggled to “speak truth to power” under the Biden administration. He particularly called out the abysmal lack of press coverage when it came to the corruption scandal swirling around the President’s son, Hunter Biden.

On Morning Joe, Mike Barnicle, says he wants to "see Steve Bannon—in handcuffs—brought to the Capitol and forced to testify under oath [before the January 6th committee.] Period!" Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough promptly second Barnicle's suggestion. 

On CNN's New Day, co-host John Berman taunted Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for signing an executive order banning vaccine mandates, "severely limiting the freedom of businesses to make their own choices." Does anyone remember Berman, or any CNNer, criticizing CA Gov. Newsom for backing and signing a law ordering big-box stores to create "gender-neutral" toy aisles? 

Since late last week, several CNN shows have taken the time to hype the campaign of a former Republican-turned-Democrat who is running for governor in Oklahoma against incumbent Republican Kevin Stitt, each one interviewing her. But these same shows did not bother to inform viewers when the party switching went in the opposite direction as Jim Justice -- who already was governor of West…

The New York Times unsurprisingly loathes Project Veritas, the underground conservative guerilla journalism outlet led by James O’Keefe. But when the shoe is on the other foot, and it’s liberal activists playing gotcha games with conservatives, then the scrutiny is neutered. Note Trip Gabriel’s story posted Thursday, “The Liberal Activist Who Targets Republicans With a MAGA Masquerade…

President Biden's approval rating has plunged to a historic low of 38%, as per the latest Quinnipiac poll. But on Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski blithely characterizes it as "the president’s approval rating taking A BIT OF A HIT." She asks UT-Austin Prof. Victoria DeFrancesco Soto what the "way forward" is for Democrats. She advises Biden to focus on "everyday" Americans, and to warn them of the…

Appearing on Tuesday's New Day on CNN, Don Lemon defended the liberal double standard of obsessing over the 1/6 Capitol Hill riots while defending the often violent left-wing protesters who rioted after the death of George Floyd.

In another ridiculous segment from Sunday’s so-called “Reliable Sources,” CNN host Brian Stelter was joined by some so of his liberal cohorts from other left-leaning outfits to bemoan how their industry supposedly didn’t praise President Biden’s legislative agenda enough. But a nearly week-old segment from Fox News Channel’s Special Report undermined their premise by showing…

At one point, polls showed the odds of recalling California Gov. Gavin Newsom looked 50-50. It was at that point that the scared, embattled governor sent out a mayday call to Hollywood and to Democratic outsiders, including former President Barack Obama. The Hollywood Reporter -- three weeks before the date of the recall vote -- published a piece with the headline: “Facing Recall…

According to a Thursday report from Business Insider, they obtained e-mail evidence that Hunter Biden had tried to “shakedown” the government of Libya for millions of dollars as they tried to get him to help release money frozen when his dad was vice president. It was yet another scandal in recent weeks set to rock the Joe Biden administration, but instead of trying to baselessly claim it was…

As the California recall campaign closed, New Day and other CNN shows ignored news reflecting unfavorably on Democrats while going negative against Republican candidate Larry Elder until the very end.

The liberal media’s fever may have finally broken after spending the last two weeks or so heavily criticizing President Biden’s unmitigated disaster of a withdrawal from Afghanistan. On Wednesday’s edition of his show, CNN’s Don Lemon spent most of the hand-off from Cuomo Prime Time demanding people be “level-headed” and “stop beating up on” the President. He even went so far as to…

Hollywood is dead. The movies are derivative and most of the industry’s big name personalities have destroyed their popularity with their incessant leftwing politics. Though that doesn’t seem to stop them. In a mad dash to kill off whatever remaining dignity any of them had, several actors, producers and showbiz moguls are campaigning for Gavin Newsom (D-CA), one of the worst governors in…
