Flashback: The Media’s Flagrant Impeachment Double Standard
December 17th, 2022 9:10 AM
When Bill Clinton was impeached in 1998, angry reporters branded his impeachment a “legislative coup d’etat” and a “spiteful” act from Republicans. When Donald Trump was impeached exactly 21 years later, journalists lauded it as an example of Democrats “putting principle before politics” and “a great day for constitutional democracy.”
30 Years Ago: The Media’s Shameless Coverage of the ’92 Campaign
October 29th, 2022 12:15 PM
Decades before the media’s embarrassing love affair with Barack Obama, or their open warfare against Donald Trump, there was the 1992 presidential campaign, when liberal journalists shamelessly promoted Bill Clinton’s candidacy and showed their contempt for George H. W. Bush.

The Liberal Media’s Gorbasms Over the Last Soviet Dictator
August 30th, 2022 5:25 PM
The late talk radio star Rush Limbaugh coined the phrase “Gorbasm” for the ecstasy that many reporters felt when covering Soviet dictator Mikhail Gorbachev, who died at age 91 on Tuesday. It’s true that Gorbachev was obviously less brutal than previous communist rulers. But his Soviet Union was hardly an enlightened, peace-loving democracy. While Gorbachev relaxed the repression of previous…

ALL WRONG: TV News Spins Left-Wing Biden as a 'Centrist,' 'Moderate'
August 10th, 2020 8:26 AM
TV journalists have insisted throughout the 2020 election cycle that Democratic Presidential hopeful Joe Biden represents the “moderate,” “centrist” wing of his party, with some even worrying that his agenda might be too far to the right for his party’s progressive base to stomach. Yet not even Biden himself agrees with that lame spin, having promised his administration would be among the “…

MSNBC Likens Trump in Tulsa to Reagan 'Dog Whistle' Speech
June 22nd, 2020 4:41 PM
Over the past week, as journalists and liberal commentators have been fixated on the timing and location of President Donald Trump's campaign rally on Juneteenth weekend in Tulsa, Oklahoma, they have again been peddling the debunked myth that President Ronald Reagan launched his 1980 presidential campaign in Philadelphia, Mississippi, in Neshoba County, in an effort to appeal to Southern white…
Bozell & Graham Column: The Media's Dreadful Impeachment Partisanship
January 28th, 2020 10:57 PM
One favorite tactic of our “objective” media during the Trump impeachment is to find a clip of the president’s legal experts expressing an opinion during the Bill Clinton impeachment in 1998 and 1999 and then showing a contrast with the present day. But this is just as easily demonstrated with the press. In both impeachments, the press flipped to whichever talking points were in use by the…

Hypocritical ‘News’ Media Have Done Complete Flip-Flop on Impeachment
January 20th, 2020 10:00 AM
It doesn’t take a skilled code-breaker to figure out the liberal networks’ stance on President Donald Trump’s impeachment: There’s no doubt we need witnesses if the Senate is going to conduct a fair trial; impeachment is necessary to prove that nobody — not even the President — is above the law; and there’s no more pressing task for Congress if we’re to keep this President, and future Presidents…

FLASHBACK: Remember When Impeaching a President Made You the KKK?
January 11th, 2020 12:15 PM
Now that the Democrats have impeached Donald Trump, journalists seem to think the process is a form of defending democracy. But that wasn’t always so. It used to make you something akin to the KKK. Eleven years ago this week, on January 9, 1999, McLaughlin Group panelist Eleanor Clift began slimed, linking the impeachment managers to a domestic terror group like the Klan: “And second of all, that…
FLASHBACK: Today’s Impeachment Cheerleaders Hated It Back in ’98
December 17th, 2019 9:25 AM
In recent days, journalists have mocked Republicans who’ve switched from impeachment advocates in the 1990s to impeachment foes today. But the news media have undergone a similar metamorphosis. The difference is, Republicans (and Democrats) are understood to be political partisans, while the media are ostensibly supposed to be non-partisan. But the record on impeachment shows that journalists are…

January 23rd, 2019 9:23 AM
On Ari Melber's MSNBC show, MSNBC contributor Eleanor Clift praises the refusal of Democrats to negotiate with Republicans on the government shutdown, saying, "the Democrats are defending a principle here, that you don't negotiate with terrorists when they're holding hostages."
Rush Gloats Over Liberal Media’s Obsessing with Him as D.C. ‘Villain’
December 21st, 2018 6:45 PM
Seeing as how he had been the bane of the liberal media’s existence for the last 24 hours plus as he’s supposedly the real president, conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh was in an ebullient mood for his Friday show. He said that he was supposedly “the new villain in Washington D.C.” ahead of a possible government shutdown that was portrayed as if the world was “end[ing] even before…

FLASHBACK: In 1998, Journalists Hated the Idea of Impeachment
December 19th, 2018 7:58 AM
Twenty years ago, on December 19, 1998, the House of Representatives voted to impeach President Bill Clinton on two counts: perjury to a grand jury, and obstruction of justice. Back then, the liberal media howled about its injustice and since Clinton had a high approval rating, they insisted it would damage the Republicans for years to come. Keep these quotes in mind if the new Democratic…
FLASHBACK: Paula Jones Was a 'Dogpatch Madonna Who Cut Loose'
October 5th, 2018 7:49 AM
All the national journalists acting outraged this week that President Trump would mock the holes in the testimony of Christine Blasey Ford always forget that Bill Clinton's accusers were slashed by the "mainstream" press. Let's recall when Paula Jones sued President Clinton for sexual harassment in 1994.
