Double Standards

On the cusp of an absolute glut of liberal-media anniversary coverage of the January 6 riot, CNN media reporter Brian Stelter was cranky. “We live in a world where Donald Trump's top supporters malign the media for being ‘obsessed’ with January 6.” He argued anyone who thinks this story is overdone is someone "best explained by psychologists or therapists or algorithm developers."

Suddenly so forgiving, that Joe Scarborough! On today's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough admitted that last week, he felt the Biden administration had "terribly botched" things regarding Covid testing. But on second thought . . . nope! Don't blame Biden for botching the availability of testing. Because . . . testing isn't necessary! Opined "Doctor" Scarborough: "You don’t need a test! We have just…

Frequent consumers of political news may be aware of Gallup's annual poll measuring the "most admired man" in America which is typically announced a few days before New Year's. The poll was done yearly from 1946 through 2020, with 1976 the only year that was skipped. This year, a Google search shows no sign that Gallup did a poll for 2021.

This was CNN cognitive dissonance on steroids -- with a booster shot of hypocrisy. In its 7 am hour, New Day brought on CNN medical analyst  Dr. Jonathan Reiner who called the Times Square New Year's Eve celebration a potential "superspreader" event that is "completely unnecessary" and "unwise." Reiner called omicron "the most contagious pathogen that any of us have ever seen." And he…

Following four years of combative White House press briefings and showboaters like Jim Acosta and April Ryan becoming Resistance household names, the White House Briefing Room saw a different show in 2021 with Press Secretary Jen Psaki. Often times, one could count on one man to do what Acosta refused to do in respectfully challenging an administration: Fox’s Peter Doocy.

Not a bad word or embarrassing moment was mentioned by the broadcast networks Wednesday morning as they reported on the life and death of former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Instead, they showed him the greatest of reverence as they praised him as a Democratic “kingmaker,” “force of nature,” and a “powerbroker.”

Reporter Daniel Victor ran an embarrassing expose on….Elf on the Shelf in Sunday’s New York Times. “In a Tiny, Jolly Spy for Santa, Watchdogs Spot Big Brother.” But behind the silliness lurks a liberal bias. In the Biden Administration, the New York Times is abruptly rediscovering liberal virtues like free speech and privacy, concepts it denigrated for years in the quest of…

Portland, Oregon has endured rioting, vandalism, and assaults in its downtown area for months on end. So, after uncovering evidence that federal agents tried to track and punish such activity, the New York Times came down hard -- not on the rioters, but the FBI itself, on Thursday’s front page, co-written by Seattle bureau chief Mike Baker.

China is responsible for every American Covid death. But if you’re going to try to parse out blame to a particular president, at least get the simple math right. On Christmas Eve, CNN Newsroom fill-in host Boris Sanchez had some trouble doing that as he definitively claimed it was “fake news” to accurately say that more Americans have been killed by Covid under President Biden than…

New York Times reporter Alan Feuer made the front page Wednesday with his investigation of a former Army colonel who wrongly thinks Donald Trump was robbed of reelection by voting machines in 2020: “Phil Waldron's Unlikely Role in Pushing Baseless Election Claims.” Feuer once reported favorably on a convention of 9-11 Truthers and rehashed their crazed convictions that the Bush…

How lame can The New York Times be in addressing the recent spate of black-on-Asian hate crimes? Pretty lame. Take their Monday story from Oakland. They burned off 1,500 words about racial activists' failure to communicate instead of addressing the hate crimes head-on.

MSNBC’s hypocrisy knows no bounds. Especially on the topic of the Covid-19 pandemic and who's to blame for surging cases and rising deaths. During Monday's edition of Deadline: White House, fill-in host John Heilemann stepped up to the defense of President Biden, suggesting he's "not responsible for this." Meanwhile, in 2020, he blamed President Trump for everything.

Leftist media ratings company NewsGuard has struck another partnership to censor news outlets and publishers the platform deems objectionable. This time, the suppression will affect outlets that use a specific ad platform.

The New York Times willfully suffered on Thursday what could only be referred to as its “austere religious scholar” moment (as a callback to The Washington Post’s obituary of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi) as it touted the retirement of the editor in chief for the Chinese Communist Party mouthpiece the Global Times, trumpeting Hu Xijin as having helmed “some have called…
