Liberals & Democrats

With all the media banter surrounding the ongoing government shutdown, ABC, CBS and PBS NewsHour seem to have conveniently forgotten that the national debt was even a major issue in this whole mess. Perhaps by emphasizing the multitrillion-dollar debt at all, the networks would be putting the Democrats in the hot seat for continuing to drag their feet on the negotiations.

One of the ironies of the left is they boast about backing democracy and then support people who despise Western civilization in its entirety. Ryan Mauro of the Capital Research Center and Joseph Vazquez of MRC Business discuss the “Open Society Foundations” and how they have supported a violent far-left fringe, including terrorists both foreign and domestic.

Though it has received play on all three major broadcast networks, ABC chose on Thursday night and Friday morning to emphasize an anonymous C-SPAN call to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) of a woman worried her children “could die” if Johnson fails to reopen the government and ensure federal employees are paid. Of course, ABC (and the caller) ignored how that falls to Senate Democrats and…

One more time: There is no such thing as free lunch. Government has no money. It acquires the money used to pay for things one of three ways: taxing, borrowing or printing. Democrat senators, with three exceptions, voted against keeping the federal government fully running because they want to add back spending reduced under the so-called Big Beautiful Bill; they want to spend even more; and…

More of this please, NBC. Monday’s Today and co-host Craig Melvin followed through on its promise to speak with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) about the government shutdown after throwing down with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Friday. To his credit, Melvin used the limited time (3:47) to repeatedly press Jeffries on his past statements about government shutdowns…

In a rare second White House press briefing of the week, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt largely avoided the disingenuous nonsense the liberal media have spewed this week about the federal government shutdown and declarations that Republicans are to blame and falsely claiming Democrats support free health care for illegal immigrants. But towards the end of the briefing, she ran into such…

Falling in between ABC’s George Stephanopoulos’s partisan hectoring on Wednesday and Thursday’s respectful exchanges with CBS’s Tony Dokoupil, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) finished a tour of the broadcast networks Friday on NBC’s Today. There, co-host Craig Melvin battled him over the government shutdown by using week-old polls claiming Americans believe Republicans are to blame…

In a tremendous illustration of how leftists believe the legacy, liberal media are supposed to work for them, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) flashed disgust on Thursday’s CBS Mornings as co-host Tony Dokoupil for stating the truth Democrats have and continue to support taxpayer-funded health care (such as emergency room visits) for “non-citizens” as a condition for ending the…

Early Wednesday evening on The Lead, CNN fact-checker and Canadian Daniel Dale teamed up with host Jake Tapper to engage in a sleight of hand to paint Republicans as liars in the government shutdown battle for arguing Democrats want to provide health care for illegal immigrants. In essence, Dale told viewers both here and later on AC360 that those receiving free care are aren…

After hitting a record low last year, Americans’ trust in the nation’s legacy media has now sunk even lower, Gallup reported Thursday, releasing results of its annual survey of U.S. adults.

Season 51 of NBC’s Saturday Night Live is set to premiere on October 4, but before that a new NewsBusters study looked back and found that 82 percent of Season 50’s Weekend Update jokes targeted conservatives and that 60 percent of its cold open political characters were conservatives or Republicans.

Apple and Microsoft joined Google on Wednesday in ignoring right-leaning news about the government shutdown. 

As the Trump administration takes on the latest wave of left-wing violence, an obituary reminds us what happens when political killers get away with their crimes. The law never caught up with Joanne Chesimard, aka Assata Shakur. She died last Thursday, age 78, an honored guest of Cuba’s Communist regime — and honored, disgracefully, by tenured radicals in America’s universities, too.…

For day one of the government shutdown, ABC’s Good Morning America showed its rancorous liberal bias with back-to-back interviews Wednesday of House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY). Co-host George Stephanopoulos fully embraced his background as a one-time Clinton official by berating and screeching at Johnson while providing Jeffries a…
