Double Standards

After its smear-filled coverage of the Canadian truckers’ protest over anti-vaccine mandates, now shuttered by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s authoritarian government, the New York Times is stoking fears of similar protests in the United States and New Zealand. “A Truck Caravan With Far-Right Links Heads to Washington, D.C." The American truckers certainly didn’t get the soft Black…

New York Times political reporter Jeremy Peters really can’t stand Fox News. In his new anti-Trump book Insurgency, the entire network is lambasted for feeding Trump’s fevered ego. Besides that, the liberal prude splutters, the morning show Fox & Friends is “three hours of sex and red meat….” When Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh reacted to Christine Blasey…

Deadline: White House provided MSNBC late Wednesday afternoon with only the third mention of the bombshell revelation from Special Counsel John Durham on alleged spying against the Trump campaign and early presidency, but they predictably used 16 minutes and 10 seconds to dismiss it as “dangerous disinformation” peddled by “right-wing media.”

As NewsBusters documented last fall, both ABC’s World News Tonight and NBC Nightly News attacked the politically engaged and angry parents in Virginia by claiming they were motivated by Republican Glenn Youngkin’s racist siren song. But in the wake of parents recalling the school board (by a landslide) in extremely liberal San Francisco on Wednesday, NBC kept to the false…

The President's Son – el hijo del presidente – finally caught the attention of the nation's leading Spanish-speaking newscasts. Mind you, it wasn't the scandal-ridden son of OUR sitting president, but that of Mexico's Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who was deemed worthy of a combined six minutes plus of airtime at Telemundo and Univision on Valentine's Day.

With the liberal media either downplaying the bombshell revelations from Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation into the Russia collusion hoax, raging at them, or just plain ignoring them, it’s worth looking back at how they used to celebrate his investigations. Because back in 2008, they had high hopes for his investigation into then-President George W. Bush’s CIA after interrogation…

Where were the police during the Canadian truckers protest against vaccine mandates? That’s what the hypocritical media crowd is suddenly demanding, now from the front page of Sunday’s New York Times: “Ottawa’s Police Reacted Slowly As Protest Built.” The online headline: “In Ottawa Trucker Protests, a Pressing Question: Where Were the Police?” (Black Lives Matters protesters in the U…

The New York Times continued to smear the Canadian truckers’ protest against vaccine mandates, a protest that has attracted other Canadians sick of the country’s overzealous Covid regulations under smug liberal Justin Trudeau. Three new stories demonstrate that the tone the paper takes covering protests depends on whether that particular protest pleases the left or the right wing,…

When President Donald Trump, in October 2019, ordered a successful takedown of top Islamic State group leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Democrats and even the anti-Trump media celebrated the death of the terror leader. But top leaders of the Democratic party still chastised Trump for failing to notify top congressional Democrats of the impending strike.

There’s an old joke about the convicted defendant who, after killing his parents, asked the judge for leniency because, after all, the murderer is now an orphan. A recent editorial in the Los Angeles Times is not quite the same. But it’s close. Here’s the headline: “The Vitriol in Politics Is Driving Good People Out of Public Service.” The editorial laments the decision by a Los…

The workers of the world are uniting against vaccine mandates…and the New York Times can’t stand it. The truckers’ protest over mandates in the Canadian capital of Ottawa has endured for over a week, and the Times’ patience with the “unlawful…occupation” of the city’s downtown has already evaporated. The Saturday edition of the “Canada Letter” newsletter opened with one long…

Of course, one of the most vile and incendiary people on TV thinks there should be consequences for saying such things. That’s the argument MSNBC’s Joy Reid made during Wednesday’s edition of The ReidOut, suggesting that it would have been better for ABC to use Whoopi Goldberg’s (stage name) anti-Semitic remarks about the Holocaust as a “teachable moment” rather than suspending her…

Monday’s front-page New York Times story, “Politics Fuels Surge in Calls For Book Bans,” did liberal Democrats a favor, posing them in their flattering former costumes of fierce free-speech advocates. Meanwhile, today’s actual left-wing is a hive of free-speech squelchers and book banners, including the Times’ own reporters, who have an unseemly and anti-journalistic…

Proving there’s a double standard when it comes to who politically gets to have their career survive and life’s work preserved after making controversial comments, on Tuesday’s edition of ABC’s The View, co-host Whoopi Goldberg (a stage name) got direct absolution from Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt after she falsely claimed: “the Holocaust isn’t about race” (for which…
