Media Bias Debate

New York Times reporter Jeremy Peters has developed a beat of targeting conservative media, and in his sights on Tuesday were The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway, as well as personalities Ben Shapiro and Allie Beth Stuckey, in “An Outlet for the Outrage Against Trump’s Enemies.” Peters focused predominantly on The Federalist, whose influential commentary has angered liberals since 2013…

The Knight Foundation, which springs from the Knight-Ridder newspaper chain and has backed leftist press organs like NPR, has a discouraging new poll for the media. A large poll of 20,000 people found "Americans' hope for an objective media is all but lost."

For years now, the progressive left and media have been quick to demonize the nation’s police officers, so it comes as no surprise that Big Tech is following the trend. A quick Google search of the word “demon” results in a dictionary definition of the term that will allow you to filter by the word “police.” Oxford Dictionary, which Google uses to supply definitions to users, mentions as its…

In an hour-long CNN special entitled Donald Trump’s Conspiracy Theories, host and serial plagiarist Fareed Zakaria dabbled conspiracies himself by pushing the idea of orchestrated and widespread voter suppression. Zakaria used claims that millions of people voted illegally in the 2016 presidential election as an excuse to dismiss the “voter fraud conspiracy theory.”

David Rutz at the Washington Free Beacon took the time to confirm what everyone conservative could suspect: CNN's Media Unit obsesses over conservative or "far-right" media, and defends the left-wing press as somehow non-ideological. 

In a truly scathing public resignation letter posted Tuesday, former New York Times editor Bari Weiss laid bare the “unlawful discrimination, hostile work environment, and constructive discharge” she was subjected to at the so-called “paper of record” because of her moderate opinion. Well, on Sunday’s MediaBuzz, Fox News contributor and Town Hall editor Guy Benson suspected…

For three years, Bari Weiss has been one of the scant few voices of fairness at The New York Times. But as of Tuesday, her time as staff editor and writer ended with a public resignation letter that called out the so-called “paper of record” for pushing ideological “orthodoxy,” kowtowing to Twitter mobs, and the internal “new McCarthyism.” She also exposed the “unlawful discrimination…

On Morning Joe, Kasie Hunt of NBC/MSNBC claims that contrary to the assertion of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, "all of us [in the media] truly, deeply, hope" that states will be able to bring the coronavirus under control. 

Friday’s Hannity discussed the subject of CNN’s hard left turn with guest host Jason Chaffetz and the panel specifically singling out CNN Tonight anchor Don Lemon as an example of “everything that political journalism” has become. Chaffetz went further and described him as “a fifty-something president of the high school debate team in defending Black Lives Matter.”

What was supposed to be a medical discussion on Friday’s edition of CNN Newsroom transformed into a full-blown partisan attack on President Trump. Rather than offer medical analysis, CNN medical analyst Dr. Celine Gounder used her platform to add to the relentless media criticism of President Trump’s decision to hold an outdoor 4^th of July celebration at Mount Rushmore.

On Morning Joe, Ed Luce of the Financial Times discusses the Transition Integrity Project. He describes is as "non-partisan," but it was founded by hard-left Rosa Brooks. The Project has war-gamed four election scenarios, and the only one that does not result in a "constitutional breakdown" in which Trump clings to power is the one in which Joe Biden wins an overwhelming…

Delivering a report from the White House on Friday’s edition of The Situation Room, CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta scolded White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany for saying that she would not be wearing a mask at President Trump’s campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Ironically, as Acosta criticized McEnany, who described the decision to wear a mask as a “personal choice…

In our experience, the “objective” media tilt dramatically in favor or abortion advocates. But amazingly, it’s not biased enough for them. NARAL Pro-Choice America released a “media analysis” this week on the way journalists cover abortion. It's not biased enough! 

It is a gift, as Robert Burns wrote, to see ourselves as others see us. One of those “others” is Caroline Glick, who writes on her webpage from Israel: “Americans are now expected to kneel for the Star Spangled Banner and disavow American history while swallowing whole a false, malicious new history that claims America has been a force for evil at home and worldwide since it was nothing more…
