Media Bias Debate

Facebook has said that its fact-checkers are selected and certified through a so-called “non-partisan” organization. That’s not true. It was recently revealed that a prominent staffer is openly biased and supports former Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

On Fox & Friends Saturday, the show devoted a segment to the liberal media ignoring Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden's son, Hunter and his questionable business dealings that are currently under federal investigation.

On CNN's New Day, co-host John Berman suggests that Republican congressmen who signed the amicus brief in the Texas lawsuit, and who represent districts in states whose results the suit is challenging, should "resign or not take the oath of office." 

On Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski finds the news that Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis has contracted COVID funny, joking [if that's what you call it]: "There are now more Trump attorneys with COVID than they have election challenge wins." Later, when Never Trumper Michael Steele imagines President Trump ranting at a President Biden "in his underwear," Mika finds the image "nauseating."

Morning Joe's got a bad case of nostalgia for the good old days of the liberal media's near-total control over the news. As Kasie Hunt put it on today's show, back in the day, there were: "The media . . . was a relatively focused, narrow group, and if they made decisions together could actually impact things."

Project Veritas' expose of CNN's behind-the-scenes conference calls shows that the network's slogan should be "We won't fully report so you can't knowledgeably decide." James O'Keefe of Project Veritas, in the ultimate trolling coup of the year, monitored and recorded CNN's morning conference call with CNN President Jeff Zucker and other company executives and reporters for some two months. O'…

It took Election Day being over for CNN to slam Democratic hypocrisy on the use of dark money. Typical.

Does the left fear a 2024 run by President Trump? Looks that way, judging from this morning's AM Joy show on MSNBC, guest-hosted by Maria Teresa Kumar. The show devoted a segment to the possibility of Trump 2024. And in a pre-emptive strike on a possible run, the panel pleaded that the media shouldn't cover Trump, and that supporters shouldn't contribute to him.

Journalists despise government efforts to "investigate media power" -- unless it's Rupert Murdoch. On Friday's Amanpour & Co. on PBS and CNN International, host Christiane Amanpour provided an unchallenged forum to former Australian prime minister Kevin Rudd to complain about Rupert Murdoch's influence on issues like global warming, and to talk up an effort he is pushing to…

CNN New Day co-host John Berman accuses Rudy Giuliani of trying to "bilk" the Trump campaign for legal services, which he puts in air quotes. Berman raises questions of Giuliani's "mental acuity," and accuses him of "questionable moral values."

On Morning Joe, playing off Barack Obama's 60 Minutes interview in which he blamed social media in part for "truth decay," Mika and The Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg bemoaned social media's supposedly insufficient censoring of conservatives. Mika Brzezinski and Goldberg fretted that conservatives being left "unchecked" leads to " serious problems."

“Times Change -- In the Trump years, the New York Times became less dispassionate and more crusading, sparking a raw debate over the paper’s future.” That was the provocative headlines over an embarrassing expose by New York magazine contributing editor Reeves Wiedeman, posted on the magazine’s website Monday. The paper is doing very well in the Trump era; subscriptions rose from…

Folks in the TV business industry hate Donald Trump, but what is it about the president that upsets them the most?

On CNN's New Day, Tim Alberta, Politico Magazine's chief political correspondent, says "I know that most of us are suffering from this collective PTSD from 2016." He thus admits that he, and by extension most of the MSM, are still distraught over President Trump's 2016 victory.
