Media Bias Debate

The beating Alabama took from Auburn in college football this fall pales in comparison to the thrashing Crimson Tide Coach Nick Saban took today from the New York Daily News. On-again/off-again sports writer Chuck Modiano excoriated Saban for not speaking out against Roy Moore, the Republican loser in Tuesday's special U.S. Senate election.

Finally unburdened by idea of connecting with people on the other political side, comedian Sarah Silverman gleefully mocks those in conservative media in the finale of her Hulu show I Love You, America. Alongside the traditional mocking of Christians and Jesus Christ, of course. Merry Christmas, everyone!

President Trump is attacking the media once again, and the New York Times is playing scared, and playing the “dictator” card. The front page of Wednesday’s Times featured Steven Erlanger in Brussels shaming Trump, and suggesting he’s somewhat responsible for foreign dictators acting like foreign dictators, in “Globe’s Autocrats Echo Trump’s ‘Fake News’ Cry.”

During Tuesday’s White House briefing, Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders cited the latest Media Research Center study showing that the Trump coverage on the major broadcast network evening newscasts was 90 percent negative toward the President. Sanders was being openly lobbied by NBC's Kristen Welker to accept a congressional investigation into sexual misconduct allegations against the…

If the meltdowns by CNN personalities inside Monday’s tense White House press briefing weren’t crazy enough, the reactions on CNN Newsroom were close as host Brooke Baldwin and CNN Politics editor-at-large Chris Cillizza admitted that Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders made them “angry” as she called out the media’s liberal bias.

Monday’s White House press briefing was another one for the ages as CNN’s self-righteous senior White House correspondent Jim Acosta came ready to rumble against press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, but quickly ran into the proverbial buzzsaw during a debate on liberal media bias.  Acosta fetched plenty of support as journalists could be heard shouting throughout the exchange in efforts to…

On Monday’s NBC Today, correspondent Peter Alexander briefly noted that “the President ratchets up his war on the news media” with tweets criticizing liberal press for a recent series of high-profile mistakes and fake news stories. However, the reporter was more interested in turning the topic into an excuse to slam Trump for his own “misleading claims.”

In one of the most asinine discussions about the liberal media’s credibility problem, CNN host Brian Stelter took to Reliable Sources on Sunday to defend his outlet and the rest of the media for the latest swarm of fake news stories plaguing the country. And offering no apology to the public for muddying the discourse, Stelter defended their precious anonymous sources while his guests claimed…

Des Bieler of The Washington Post is one of the few sports media making an issue of three NFL protesters who were nominated for the league's Walter Payton Man of the Year award. Nonetheless, he did not cite or quote anyone opposed to the protests which are seen by many Americans as disrespectful to the men and women who wore the military uniform.

In an extensive piece published by The Intercept on Saturday, co-founder of the news site Glenn Greenwald excoriated CNN (as well as a host of other news outlets) for recklessly advancing agenda driven stories involving the Russia investigation, with no transparency when the stories blow up in their face and go viral with fake news.

American skier Lindsey Vonn just made news for politicizing the upcoming Winter Olympic Games and USA Today writer Nancy Armour is doing so as well. Armour insists the Trump Administration is interfering with Olympic officials over security concerns and needs to mind its own business.

News stories might have cost Hillary Clinton the presidency, but they were real stories from Manhattan, not fake stories from Macedonia. That’s the major takeaway from a new content analysis of media coverage of the 2016 campaign that the Columbia Journalism Review published on Tuesday. 

Things have been getting difficult in the town of South Park, Colorado, and they come to a head in the December 6 season finale, "Splatty Tomato." With the recent nuclear attack President Garrison (a thinly veiled parody of President Trump) launched against Canada, the world is on the brink of disaster and the kids of the town claim to see the president lurking around at night. The only people in…
