Labeling

The Southern Poverty Law Center just released a report claiming there are 1,225 hate and anti-government groups in America. These groups cause “fear and pain (in) Black, brown, and LGBTQ communities.”  The SPLC lists such groups on its “hate map.”  I once believed the center. Well-meaning people still do. Apple once gave them $1 million. But what donors don’t know is that today, the SPLC…

PBS’s post-Dobbs abortion coverage has been all one-way: No celebration of saving babies or showing respect for the culture of life. Instead, the focus has been 100% on lost opportunities to abort, with the hardest cases nationwide reliably rounded up and presented as commonplace, leaning on the alleged horrors occurring in red states that have instituted abortion bans. Sarah Varney,…

Bianna Golodryga hosted Wednesday’s edition of Amanpour & Co. (airing on CNN International and tax-funded PBS) and commiserated with William Cohen, former “Republican” Defense Secretary to Democratic president Bill Clinton, about the awful state of the Republican Party in the wake of Donald Trump’s third indictment: "So given what you have just laid out, on top of news,…

Three recent stories by newly minted New York Times congressional correspondent Karoun Demirjian on the fight to pass the National Defense Authorization Act demonized Republicans for opposing radical social agendas Democrats are pushing on the military. She also appeared on tax-funded PBS to rant against alleged GOP racism. 

A New York Times investigation, “House Republicans Demand Deep Cuts to Spending Bills They Rarely Support” offered a throwback to the paper’s insanely biased days of ideological labeling. The slant started in the subhead: "G.O.P. leaders are tailoring their government funding legislation to far-right lawmakers who are insisting on deep cuts, but who hardly ever vote for spending bills…

The Supreme Court ended its term with several major decisions favorable to conservatives, and tax-funded public broadcasting, which is ostensibly objective, failed to hide its displeasure in its Friday evening analysis, including its take on the Court’s 6-3 decision in the 303 CREATIVE LLC case, that a website designer in Colorado had a First Amendment right to refuse to design…

Friday’s edition of the tax-funded PBS News Hour took a jab at the influential new conservative parents’ rights group Moms for Liberty, which drew some Republican presidential candidates to its convention last week. Moms was founded to oppose school closings and mask-vaccine mandates in schools and which now targets the teaching of Critical Race Theory and gender identity in schools.…

On Tuesday’s Amanpour & Co., host Christiane Amanpour was joined by Yale professor Timothy Snyder, whom she described as “an award-winning historian and bestselling author, focusing on the dangers of authoritarianism.” Both host and guest went on an extended rant on the hypothetical threats of political violence ginned up by Trump supporters, or as Amanpour breathlessly put it, “…

Washington Free Beacon media reporter Drew Holden flagged a story on "far-right" Republicans in Tennessee from the Associated Press. This has become a real trend of late, from Tennessee to Montana to Texas. But when San Francisco spends taxpayer money on a "Drag Laureate," no one at AP finds that needs an ideological label. 

The Reuters wire service pretends to be unbiased, but that's a bad joke. Look no further than this May 8 story on the new frontier of the abortion debate. The headline was "Abortion pill case to be heard by conservative, anti-abortion panel."

The cable news landscape was shaken to its core Monday with the stunning news that cable news star and host of Fox News Channel's Tucker Carlson Tonight was out at the network. A short time later, CNN announced that CNN This Morning co-host Don Lemon was fired as well. During CBS Evening News's coverage of both developments, anchor Norah O'Donnell resorted to…

On Sunday night, far-left activists (including an SPLC attorney) stormed the site of an Atlanta Police Department training facility and fired off fireworks and Molotov cocktails in the latest attempt by the so-called “Stop Cop City” movement to physically attack and threaten law enforcement. But on the Monday morning flagship morning shows, CBS Mornings couldn’t be bothered with zero…

Nikki Haley served as the U.N. ambassador under President Trump. Before that she was South Carolina’s first female governor. But when she announced her candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination on Valentine’s Day 2024, the greeting from National Public Radio was no lovefest. As one example, Friday’s Morning Edition tried to sell a Lincoln Project senior advisor as a “…

Tuesday’s Amanpour & Co. on PBS featured Diana Buttu, described by the program as a “political analyst and human rights lawyer,” but whose actual views were extremely hostile to Israel and radically pro-Palestinian -- and in sync with those of host Christiane Amanpour. Amanpour matched her guest by bringing her own long-standing hostility to Israel and concurrent embrace of the…
