Media Bias Debate

The American media tends to consist of highly educated individuals, many of whom went to elite academic institutions. They tend to congregate in large urban environments surrounded by like-minded people who have similar interests and worldviews. The result is a media that is urban, coastal, secular and progressive. Good reporters tend to be mindful of their biases. Most reporters do not. In…

The left-wing Politico has been sold to a German company for a ridiculous $1 billion.

Jockeying with MSNBC colleagues to be the Biden administration’s Baghdad Bob on Afghanistan, ReidOut host Joy Reid spent Thursday’s show bolstering her resume by chastising the media for having a “gaze...fixed on Afghanistan” and being “pissed off” that the deadly and chaotic withdraw hasn’t “go[ne] smoothly” instead of spending more time focusing on the January 6 riot or Thursday’s…

CNN didn’t just make one mistake trying to push President Joe Biden to extend the eviction moratorium. It made more than 200,000. That’s how much money it helped raise for a “mom” who wasn’t even the real mother of the kids in the story.

Fresh off of her comments to CBSN about needing private security as she calls for the defunding of police to leave her constituents unprotected from violent offenders, Squad member and Congresswoman Cori Bush (D-MO) was welcomed like a conquering hero Sunday morning on CNN's State of the Union as co-host Dana Bush bought into Bush's savior shtick.

Morning Joe has a history of trashing Mitch McConnell, with Joe Scarborough having slimed him as "Moscow Mitch," and even more disgustingly, as "Chokehold Mitch."  But on today's show, Morning Joe went out of its way to praise the once [and future?] Senate Majority Leader for his advocacy of Covid vaccinations. In doing so, Morning Joe acknowledged that hearing praise of McConnell…

Five years after Jim Rutenberg got the ball rolling, New York Times media reporter Marc Tracy publicly angled for even less impartial coverage of conservative political figures in “Trump Is Gone, but the Media’s Misinformation Challenge Is Still Here.” The full deck of online headlines: Should news outlets contextualize false claims made by powerful people? Or ignore them…

On MSNBC, Associated Press "reporter" Jonathan Lemire, who moonlights as an MSNBC "analyst," commenting on the January 6th committee, accuses Republicans of a "deeply-cynical move" while praising Democrats "good-faith, bipartisan" efforts.

Pro-abortion reporter Kate Smith announced on Thursday that she quit her job at CBS News. The ostensibly neutral journalist had previously described her beat on her Twitter profile as “covering abortion access,” but based on her coverage, we all knew what that meant - she wanted MORE access to abortion.

Morning Joe served up a classic example today of the liberal media's double standard when it comes to covering Republicans versus Democrats. The subject was the fleeing from the Lone Star state of Texas state House Democrats, and Republican efforts to return them to the state to do their legislative duty. 

On Nicolle Wallace's MSNBC show,  former Democrat Missouri senator Claire McCaskill surprisingly says that the decision by Democrat members of the Texas state House to flee the state to prevent the Republican majority from passing a voting bill is just like the Republicans in the Senate using the filibuster to block legislation. 

On Tiffany Cross's MSNBC show, Dr. Chris Pernell described anti-vaxxers as white supremacists who are targeting communities of color and playing on their vulnerabilities. She seemed to be suggesting that the white supremacists are trying to persuade POC not to get vaccinated so more will contract the potentially deadly coronavirus.

En Univisión saben que el tiempo apremia para que Biden cumpla con las generosas promesas de reforma migratoria que hiciera a la base pro fronteras abiertas. Pero en un informe reciente sobre un grupo de activistas que piden acabar con las deportaciones del Título 42, la cadena fungió de mediador para la Casa Blanca.

Univision News is fully aware that time is running out for Biden to make good the generous promises of immigration reform made to the open-borders base. But in a recent report about a group of activists calling for the end of Title 42 deportations, the network acted as a buffer for the White House.
