Race Issues

After letting rioters burn down his city, Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey came under fire from left-wing activists this week after he wouldn’t support the calls to defund and abolish his city’s police department. On Good Morning America Monday, the Democrat mayor faced more pushback from ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos to bow to the far-left’s radical demands.

The New York Times has changed its entire outlook on the dangers of the deadly coronavirus pandemic since protests against police racism started nearly two weeks ago. No more lectures about social distancing or masks. Instead the paper’s news pages are actually celebrating the breaking of the lockdown rules as “personal liberation.” (Those who were forbidden to work only to have their…

New York Times White House correspondent Katie Rogers churned out some fake news in Saturday’s print edition with “President Says Job Report Makes ‘a Great Day’ for Floyd.” The problem? Trump didn’t say that at all – Trump was praising America for making gains toward “equal justice under the law.” In the wake of a shockingly positive jobs report, Rogers tried hard to inflame the phony…

ABC chief global affairs correspondent Martha Raddatz apparently felt like being extremely morbid Sunday morning. Between insinuating something terrible by saying President Trump wanted “combat troops” in D.C. and then downplaying recent attacks and murders against police officers, she was doing a bang-up job. Luckily, the acting secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Chad Wolf was…

PolitiFact keeps doing “fact checks” against conservatives that acknowledge that they’re using facts, but they’re still False because – well, they don’t like the way those facts are assembled. These factual facts aren’t making the right point. They’re “too narrow.”

CNN's Saturday town hall with Sesame Street on racism started out well enough with Elmo and Big Bird teaming up with host Erica Hill to instill in young children the virtues of being kind and treating others with dignity and respect. Unfortunately, at the bottom of the hour, the focus shifted to how parents could talk to their children about race and racism in America and became much…

Radical Rashad Robinson of the group "Color for Change" joined CNN Newsroom host Brianna Keilar on Wednesday to accuse Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg of allowing President Trump to use Facebook to engage in voter suppression. Robinson's proof, which Keilar was all too happy to agree with, was that Zuckerberg refused to take Robinson's advice on how he should run his company.

New York Times political reporter Matt Flegenheimer filed a panicky “Political Memo” for Wednesday’s edition: “Trump’s Bible Photo Op Further Divides Debate On State of Democracy.” It’s another brick in the edifice the paper is trying to construct portraying Trump as a danger to American democracy.

Friday saw unexpectedly great jobs numbers that caused the unemployment rate to go down. It also saw President Trump give a news conference where he said George Floyd would be proud of what is going on across the country. These two things led many in the media, including MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell, to take Trump out of context and accuse him of saying that Floyd would be proud of Friday's job…

CNN host Chris Cuomo spent his closing argument Wednesday night dismissing the calls for peaceful protests and an end to the rioting and looting plaguing America’s cities. According to Cuomo, anyone calling for “peaceful” protests was using a “dog whistle,” proclaiming that what they really want is for black people to “be quiet.”

Listen up, Hollywood! The Washington Post’s Alyssa Rosenberg has a terrific idea for you: she wants you to “immediately halt production on cop shows and movies and rethink the stories [you tell] about policing in America.”

MSNBC Live host Katy Tur could have used Thursday's show to try to see if there was a way that the current protests across the country in the aftermath of the death of George Floyd could bring the country together. Instead, however, she teamed up with Georgetown Professor Michael Eric Dyson to wonder if white Americans are unwittingly racist by being scared of black Americans, simply…

Appearing as a guest on Sunday's AM Joy, MSNBC weekend host Ali Velshi again rationalized the actions of rioters as he got up on a soap box and preached about "institutional, socioeconomic injustice and racism" against the black population being the motivation for riots in Minneapolis and other cities. His commentary elicited an "amen" from liberal host MSNBC host Joy Behar.

In the wake of riots that have spread across America, leaving shattered businesses and wounded communities in their wake, it feels as though our nation is collapsing around us. That's bizarre, considering that virtually all Americans agree with the following two propositions: first, that it is evil for a police officer to place his knee on the neck of a prone suspect struggling to breathe for…
