PBS: Trump Reelection Means USA Now Accepts 'Authoritarian Leadership'
The PBS News Hour is pumping up the fear of Trump II, throwing out scary words like “fascist” to describe the incoming Trump administration, the latest example brought to you Wednesday evening by PBS’s most biased reporter Laura Barron-Lopez, and Yale University leftist professor Jason Stanley, who has been calling Trump a fascist without results for six years.
WashPost Describes Distraught Lefty 'News Quitters' as 'Some People'
Democrat newspapers like The Washington Post love to tag conservatives as "conservative," and also as "ultraconservative," "far right," and "extremist." But they seem absolutely incapable of describing leftists and progressives as....leftists and progressives. On the front page of Monday's Style section is a hilarious piece on depressed lefties turning off and tuning out their "news"…
PBS Lies: Trump 'Talked About Cheney in Violent and Threatening Terms'
PBS entered the last weekend before Election Day maintaining the deceitful form in which it has covered the race for the last two years. On Friday evening’s edition, Laura Barron-Lopez lived up to her position as the most partisan reporter at the PBS News Hour, clipping Donald Trump’s criticism of Liz Cheney, ignoring the clear anti-war context to claim he was advocating a firing…
Politico’s Daniels Hails ‘Centrists’ Obama, Biden, and Harris on PBS
On Friday evening’s Washington Week with The Atlantic on tax-funded PBS, show host and Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg set a “foreboding” scene, just a few days before Election Day. He threw in all the anti-Trump buzzwords,…
NY Times Mangles Trump's Cheney 'Chicken Hawk' Gibe to Imply VIOLENCE
It’s an intriguing parallel: Father and daughter Republican political figures Dick Cheney and Liz Cheney, insulted as warmongers and chicken hawks by different political parties, twenty years apart. But the coverage in the New York Times couldn’t have been more different. When Donald Trump attacked Republican turned Kamala Harris supporter Liz Cheney as a “radical warhawk,” he was…
PBS Snipes at Vote Integrity 'Purge' in VA: 'Still Scared to Vote?'
The Democratic Party, which accuses Republicans of trying to subvert confidence in the electoral process, is oddly reluctant to actually ensure that only citizens are allowed to vote. The press, including taxpayer-supported PBS and NPR, are helping the Democrats make that case, with skeptical coverage of the Supreme Court ruling that Virginia can “purge” noncitizens from the state’s voter…
New York Times Revels in Harris Tactic of Labeling Trump a Fascist
Despite its alleged concern for the decline of civility in politics, the New York Times is actually all in on political slander and name-calling lately -- when it’s in the service of defeating Donald Trump. For the second time in under two weeks, the paper reveled in the party’s new tactic of throwing the dirty word “fascist” at Trump to see if it would stick (not that they didn’t do…
PBS Snob: People Who Call Kamala a Fascist Don't Understand the Word
In the latest turn in the circle of symbiosis, Amanpour & Co., which airs on PBS, invited PBS’s Washington Week host and Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg to discuss his anonymously sourced hit piece, which dropped two weeks before the presidential election, alleging Donald Trump envied…
NY Times, ProPublica Scare Lefties About Texas Billionaire 'Theocrats'
The headline writers for the 6,000-word expose in the New York Times Magazine by Ava Kofman (in partnership with the liberal nonprofit newsroom ProPublica) certainly know how to scare the paper's liberal readership: “How Two Billionaire Preachers Remade Texas Politics -- They control Republican politics in the state. Now they’re poised to take their theocratic agenda…
‘Astonishing’; Nets Tout ‘Staunch Conservative’ Cheney Backing Kamala
On the heels of ABC, CBS, and NBC singing the praises Thursday night of longtime Northern Virginia resident Liz Cheney (who pretends to reside in Wyoming), the same networks also devoted time on their Friday morning news shows to cheering “staunch conservative” Cheney campaigning with Vice President Kamala Harris, calling it “an astonishing sight” and “a major moment” in the election and…
AP Runs Offensive Obit for 'Charismatic and Shrewd' Hezbollah Leader
Before the official confirmation of the death of terrorist Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, killed by Israeli Defense Forces, Associated Press reporter Bassem Mroue filed "Charismatic and shrewd: A look at longtime Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.” That headline holds more than a hint of the ridiculous Washington Post headline marking the assassination of another terrorist leader…
Everyone Point & Laugh at Semafor Trying to Make Bulwark Seem Centrist
In its Sunday night media-focused newsletter, Semafor had a puff piece celebrating the faux Republican (read: progressive) site The Bulwark as “one of the breakout media successes” in 2024 with its personalities “bona fide stars” that liberal strategist and Publisher Sarah Longwell declared to represent “a new center”....even though their site has a singular, crazy-ex-girlfriend-level focus on…
Column: When The Media Can't Find a Left-Wing Label for Kamala Harris
Before the debate, ABC's evening newscast never described Kamala Harris with an ideological label since Biden was forced out. One way that liberal journalists put a protective bubble around their candidate is to pretend she’s somehow above ideology. It's just an attack coming from Donald Trump and J.D. Vance, and therefore it’s just negative advertising, not news.
Top CBS Shows Skip Own Journo Pressing Biden-Harris WH on Afghanistan
Monday’s White House press briefing led off with national security spokesman and frequent Karine Jean-Pierre crutch John Kirby defending the Biden-Harris administration’s deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan in light of a House Foreign Affairs Committee report, arguing they’ve done plenty of soul-searching, but feel proud of what happened and want to move on. Thankfully, a few reporters had some…
