CNN Concedes 'Hugely Conservative' Johnson Isn't 'The Devil Incarnate'
Before Louisiana Rep. Mike Johnson officially became Speaker of the House on Wednesday, there was the seven-person pre-game panel on CNN’s Inside Politics.

THIS AGAIN? CNN Insists Pro-Hamas Riots Have ‘Been Mostly Peaceful’
On Wednesday afternoon’s CNN News Central, reporter Nada Bashir channeled her inner Omar Jimenez or Ali Velshi by denying reality as she declared the terrifying pro-Hamas riots outside the Israeli and U.S. embassies inspired the thoroughly debunked lie that Israel fired a missile targeting a Gaza hospital was “mostly peaceful.”
Roker Salivates Over Maddow, Says Young Journalists Should Emulate Her
Longtime far-left MSNBC pundit and primetime host Rachel Maddow joined the third hour of NBC’s Today on Monday to hawk her new book — which ironically warns of rising fascism on the far-right in the mold of those who supported Hitler and Nazi Germany in the 1930s and 1940s — but also so NBC could fawn over her as some bastion of truth for 15 years now on MSNBC.
ABC, NBC Omit Party Label in Report on New Menendez Indictment
On Thursday, allegedly corrupt New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez was indicted on charges of "conspiracy to act as a foreign agent." And if you watched ABC's World News Tonight or NBC Nightly News though, you would never know what party he belonged to since neither bothered to report his party label. Only CBS Evening News did. Of course, this was intentional since he's…
NY Times Won't Call Hamas 'Terrorists,' Defends Biden on $6B to Iran
The repellent coordinated terrorist attacks Saturday by Hamas on the state of Israel on Saturday, targeting both soldiers and citizens for rape and murder and kidnapping. But in its ongoing live coverage the New York Times consistently refused to call the Hamas terrorists, using the less dramatic word “militants,” which is standard practice for the paper. It’s the same word…
NBC Breaks Out 'Extreme Right' Label as Israel Works to Save Hostages
NBC’s Raf Sanchez picked the worst possible time to break out the “extreme right” labeling as he reported from Israel on Saturday’s Today in the aftermath of the massive Hamas terrorist attacks and the possibility that the “extreme right” Israeli government may decide to invade Gaza to rescue the hostages there.
FLASHBACK: Media Blamed GOP ‘Hard Right’ After Boehner’s Exit, Too
Since Tuesday’s ouster of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, journalists have slammed House Republicans as radicals and extremists. If it sounds familiar, it’s because that’s exactly what viewers heard after Republican Speaker John Boehner stepped down eight years ago.
Media Choir Raise Voices to Falsely Glorify Feinstein a ‘Centrist’
California Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein was a liberal stalwart who took up extreme positions against Second Amendment rights and harmful environmental policies. But when it was announced on Friday that she had passed away overnight, the liberal media choir joined their voices to gaslight Americans and falsely proclaim her a “centrist Democrat” who simply leaned towards “liberal…
Nets Hide Party Label For Those Who Released Fugitive Murderer
All three Wednesday morning network shows covered the news that 26-year old tech CEO Pava LaPere was murdered in Baltimore setting off a desperate manhunt for Jason Billingsley, but none of them managed to mention the role Democrat, progressive icon, and Soros-backed Marilyn Mosby had in releasing him from prison.
NY Times 'News Analysis' RIPS 'Hard Right' GOP 'Wrecking-Ball Caucus'
New York Times chief Washington correspondent Carl Hulse’s coverage of the fight in Congress over a government shutdown versus conservative insistence that federal spending must be reduced given the national debt has now surpassed $33 trillion.

NYT Puts Protective Cloak Over Slob Sen. Fetterman, Hits 'Hard-Right'
New York Times congressional correspondent Annie Karni thought she had a good “gotcha” in response to Republican criticism of the Senate’s new relaxed dress code, imposed by Majority Leader Sen. Charles Schumer (NY), in response to a fellow Democrat’s insistence in showing up on the Senate floor dressed like a slob in defiance of Senate rules. In Wednesday’s “For Some Senators, New…
New York Times Again Normalizes Nutty Enviromental Protest in NYC
The New York Times’ coverage of an environmental protest in Manhattan, “Fingers Pointed at President, Protesters Demand End to Fossil Fuels,” felt familiar. The story template, of normal people “young and old” filling the streets, was identical to the paper’s mainstreaming of previous left-wing protests, a template from former leftist protest movements like Occupy Wall Street, the…
NY Times Smears Impeachment Inquiry: It's to 'Appease Far-Right' Pols
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's opening of a Biden impeachment inquiry was treated with maximum cynicism on the front page of The New York Times. The labeling began right in the headline and lead sentence of Wednesday’s front-page story. This was all about "appeasing far-right lawmakers" who might remove McCarthy from his job. That's now how the paper covered the first Trump…
PBS on Biden Impeachment News:'Far-Right' GOP's Unsubstantiated Claims
Tuesday's PBS NewsHour ran two segments on House Speaker Kevin McCarthy opening an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, extending the ongoing investigations by congressional Republicans into the president’s possible involvement in his son’s business dealings.
