Media Bias Debate

All you need to know about James Stavridis' reliability as an objective source is the two statements he made on today's Morning Joe regarding a video Bibi Netanyahu put out calling on the US to stop holding up arms deliveries to Israel. First, Mika tees him up to attack Bibi, asking, "Is Benjamin Netanyahu a good partner in this?" Stavridis answers: "Clearly he's not." And then in the same…

On Monday, Jim Acosta filled in for Laura Coates Live and got into a heated debate about President Biden’s cognitive decline with Bryan Lanza, former Deputy Communications Director for Trump’s 2016 campaign, who called out the network for their “selective edit” and deceptive reporting on then-President Trump’s visit to Japan.

Joy Reid hosted a panel of clowns on Wednesday’s episode of MSNBC’s The ReidOut to denounce local news stations questioning President Biden’s mental acuity. The panel of lefties condemned the Sinclair Broadcast Group for broadcasting a Wall Street Journal (WSJ) report on the president’s age as it affects the election. They also portrayed the group as an insidious promoter of…

MSNBC’s Joy Reid devoted a significant portion of Monday’s night’s episode of The ReidOut to launching yet another attack on Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito and his wife, Martha-Ann. Reid celebrated a secret recording by leftist Lauren Windsor attempting to expose and embarrass the Alitos as conservative crazies. 

Stephanie Ruhle, host of MSNBC’s The 11th Hour, took umbrage at the response of some Republicans to a recent video of President Joe Biden at the D-Day commemoration ceremony in Normandy. In the video, which she alleged was…

On MSNBC's The Weekend, co-host Alicia Menendez tees up Michael Cohen, paraphrasing what Cohen had told Nicolle Wallace the day before, to say that he'll never get peace so long as Donald Trump is "with us," i.e., alive. 

The New York Times devoted nearly 3,000 words by writer-at-large Jim Rutenberg and media reporter Michael Grynbaum to a topic rarely acknowledged: Media bias from the left, in “How MSNBC’s Leftward Tilt Delivers Ratings, and Complications.” (Right-leaning Fox News, by contrast, is a constant target of the paper’s hostility.) But what does it say about the paper’s own tilt…

A laudatory look at the pro-Hamas, Qatar-funded network Al Jazeera, “Why Al Jazeera is the Go To News Source for Student Protesters,” by Santul Nerkar, a young journalist at the paper, made the front page of Monday’s New York Times Business section. The print headline: “Al Jazeera Finds Fans On Campus." When conservatives say they don’t trust the mainstream press to cover Republicans fairly,…

An opening statement to Congress is usually longer to read than the give minutes that witnesses are granted. So if you want to see the whole statement on National Public Radio bias that I offered the House for the Wednesday hearing, it's included here. 

Former Biden White House Press Secretary and current MSNBC host Jen Psaki took her book tour to the Wednesday taping of CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, where she declared that her history as a Democratic official makes her more qualified to be a host. Meanwhile, she also praised her former boss for halting weapons shipments to Israel.

Actor, alleged comedian, and massive narcissist John Leguizamo stopped by CBS and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Thursday to hype his MSNBC miniseries about “Latinx lenses all across America.” Before that, however, Leguizamo blasted Univision for not bashing Donald Trump all the time and that, as a result, he trumpeted that he will no longer be appearing on the network.

The national media consider themselves essential in educating the electorate, so what happens when the electorate does not consider them a trustworthy guardian of democracy? A new poll found only 14 percent of the public expressed a great deal of confidence in the media on their election-related information, while 52 percent have little or no confidence in their journalism.

In an interview posted Friday with The Intercept’s Ryan Grim and Federalist editor/National Journalism Center (NJC) director Emily Jashinsky, former CNN host Don Lemon showed zero regret or remorse for CNN’s Trump-Russia obsessions, mocking Trump voters as Boomer rubes, and insisted CNN had no liberal bias.

On Friday, AP media reporter David Bauder looked at recent internal newsroom debates that went public, "Journalists taking the critical gaze they deploy to cover the world and turning it inward at their own employers." It's because journalism "attracts people who are anti-authoritarian, who see themselves as truth-tellers." Is it "anti-authoritarian" to seek to banish conservative views from…
