Double Standards

On Tuesday morning, ABC News (along with CBS and NBC) celebrated Texas Democrats who decided to pull a stunt and walk out of their session to block the passage of an election integrity bill. But after praising their side for using “the one tool that they had left,” as congressional correspondent Rachel Scott put it, they weren’t amused with Republican Governor Greg Abbott saying that he’ll…

The New York Times has a gross double standard on “cancel culture,” or what it called “digital shaming,” as evidenced in a Sunday Business section story by tech reporter Kashmir Hill, “Our Digital Pasts Weren’t Supposed to Be Weaponized – A recent firing is the latest example of how we can’t outrun our old posts.” But the concern seems conveniently timed, considering that Hill managed…

As NewsBusters had documented in recent weeks, the liberal media were refusing to cover the rash of anti-Semitic attacks as Palestinian extremists were hunting Jews on American streets in liberal cities. Well, during Sunday’s edition of MediaBuzz on Fox News Channel, the media show called out the liberal media for the double standard in their outrage at anti-Semitism, such as ignoring…

State ballot initiatives! Suddenly, the New York Times loves them, now that they're under threat by a power-hungry GOP. Saturday’s front page featured “G.O.P. Targets Ballot Initiatives To Stymie Democrats’ Agenda.” The online headline was even more dire: “Republicans Move to Limit a Grass-Roots Tradition of Direct Democracy.” How strange then, to examine past Times coverage…

After being fired by CNN over the weekend for making admittedly clumsy remarks about Native Americans and the founding of the United States, former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum appeared with Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity Monday night to discuss what happened. And according to Santorum, he had talked with liberals at CNN who were “concerned” about the network’s adoption of “cancel…

During Sunday’s so-called “Reliable Sources,” CNN got to talk about their favorite topic (more so than former President Trump): themselves! Host Brian Stelter kicked off the show with a smorgasbord of stories that all had to with CNN, allowing them to wrap themselves in toxic narcissism. Asides from touting how CNN handled Chris Cuomo’s lack of journalistic ethics, Stelter led the…

For four years, the liberal media would scream from the rooftops about how President Trump was “destroying our democratic institutions.” But ABC, CBS, and NBC were nowhere to be seen Wednesday night following the first meeting and swearing-in of President Biden’s commission to reshape the Supreme Court in the way only radical liberals benefitted from (either with court-packing or taking away…

Morning Joe gave a textbook example today of how the liberal media can rehabilitate one of its own who has, to use a British expression, blotted her copybook. And in doing so, the show engaged in some elaborate deceit. Mika Brzezinski hosted a segment in which she interviewed Alexi McCammond about an article she'd written about the rise of black women in politics. But what Mika never mentioned…

“Having Kids Early Is Hard. It’s Also Great” fittingly appeared in print on Mother’s Day in the New York Times. The online title to Elizabeth Bruenig’s essay was “I Became a Mother at 25, and I’m Not Sorry I Didn’t Wait.” Bruenig is an iconoclastic left-winger, but that didn’t stop the grotesque left wing of the Twitterati from smearing her as a white supremacist, among other things,…

In her Tuesday report for the CBS Evening News, foreign correspondent Elizabeth Palmer doubled down on her support for Hamas terrorists by under-reporting Israeli casualties from their rocket attacks and decrying Israeli retaliatory strikes on terrorist installations. In stark contrast, ABC’s Matt Gutman noted the lengths Israel went to prevent civilian casualties in Gaza despite…

In light of the fact that a social media tribunal will decide on May 5 whether Trump can get his Facebook account back, it’s good to take note of all the famous people who should have had keys to their own accounts taken from them for promoting actual violence.

Morning Joe mentionsd George Floyd six times, but fails to report the news that one of the jurors at the Derek Chauvin trial had denied participating at any protests against police brutality, whereas he had attended one billed as the 'Commitment March: Get Your Knee Off Our Necks,' and at which several members of the Floyd family spoke. The juror wore to the protest a BLM hat and a T-shirt…

On Sunday’s Reliable Sources, CNN charlatan Brian Stelter and longtime liberal media defender Bill Carter went to bay for the far-left tilt of network comedy shows while attacking right-leaning comedy as one of radicalization and vindictiveness. In reality, the ratings have shown otherwise with FNC’s Gutfeld! fetching monster ratings that rivaled those on the broadcast…

In a follow-up to his redistricting smears and fear-mongering from earlier in the week, CNN Prime Time host Chris “Fredo” Cuomo teamed up with Obama Attorney General Eric Holder on Tuesday to spread misinformation and lies about Republican redistricting after the Census Bureau determined multiple red states were picking up seats from blue states. And at one point, Holder, who now…
