Double Standards

The latest PBS Independent Lens film program, “A Town Called Victoria,” was a three-hour report on the January 2017 firebombing of the Victoria Islamic Center mosque in the small town of Victoria, Texas. Predictably, there was a deeper left-wing political message within this documentary, part of the “Exploring Hate” series by NYC-based public television station WNET. snuck in partisan…

On Thanksgiving, the online edition of The Boston Globe publishes a cartoon depicting Donald Trump on his way to the tree stump, axe at the ready, to dispatch the turkey. And in turn, the turkey is regretting having rejected Biden because of his age.

You’ll be absolutely not shocked to discover that none of the major three network evening newscasts found the time to report news of a non-prosecution, to wit: the non-prosecution of President Joe Biden or any of his staff in the classified documents case under investigation by Special Counsel Robert Hur.

Last year, Macho Joe Scarborough fantasized about beating up a Capitol tourist taking photos somewhere Joe didn't like, saying he would make the tourist "eat" the camera. But on Morning Joe, Scarborough is shocked, stunned, and appalled by tough talk between UAW President Sean O'Brien and Oklahoma Sen. Mullin.

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough falsely accuses Donald Trump of threatening to "institutionalize" special counsel Jack Smith and other DoJ officials.

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough twice mockingly speaks of Donald Trump's "fat white boy" spokesman, and claims that Trump has gone "full-on Hitler."

One way to demonstrate the slant in PBS’s coverage of the Israel-Hamas war is to compare and contrast how their interviewers treat representatives of the respective sides. On Monday’s edition of the PBS NewsHour, reporter Leila Molana-Allen conducted a friendly interview with Mohammad Shtayyeh, the prime minister of the Palestinian Authority, which represents the West Bank, and who…

The “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC unsurprisingly failed this week to convey even the most basic facts about what they’ve insisted were “thousands of pro-Palestinian” marchers “ma[king] their voices heard” this past weekend — including in Washington D.C. — when the more adept description would be pro-Hamas rallies calling for Israel’s eradication and support for Hamas’s October 7…

On October 7, the Jewish people suffered their greatest single-day loss of life since the Holocaust in a horrific massacre that should cause people to think twice before comparing someone or something to Hitler, the Nazis, or their crimes. Unfortunately, the news media only seem to apply that standard to one side.

CBS’s Sunday political talk show Face the Nation spent its most recent episode lashing out against Israel and rallying around the Palestinians and their beloved Hamas terrorist group who rule over them in Gaza. From the very beginning, host Margaret Brennan and correspondent Imtiaz Tyab touted claims that Israel has been engaged in “apartheid” war crimes” against poor Gazans and the…

Between Wednesday night and Thursday morning, the “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC slowly backed away from blindly touting the false claims from the Palestinian Health Ministry (read: Hamas) that Israel was behind a rocket attack on a Gaza hospital (often labeled a deadly “blast” or “explosion), if only because their President in Joe Biden said so.

Morning Joe criticizes US news outlets that accepted Hamas's accusation that Israel was responsible for the explosion at a Gaza hospital.  But the show fails to mention Democrat Rep. Rashida Tlaib, who continues to accuse Israel even after Hamas's lie has been debunked.

The French have an expression: when you want to determine who committed a crime, answer the question: A qui profite le crime?—Who profits from the crime? In the case of the explosion at a Gaza hospital, Hamas reaped a major PR profit. And MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace and correspondent Raf Sanchez did their part to help out during Tuesday evening's Deadline: White House.

The Friday morning flagship news shows on ABC, CBS, and NBC continued the all-too-predictable pivot away from Israel after Saturday’s Hamas terror attacks and toward Hamas and the Palestinians. On ABC’s Good Morning America and CBS Mornings, they ripped Israel for their “biblical” demand people flee northern Gaza ahead of a likely ground invasion that, along with a “toxic mix…
