The death of Pope Francis serves as a refresher in the perils of media projection. Mourning the loss of a perceived fellow traveler, the media have chosen to project their narrow leftwing culture and ideology on to Pope Francis.

The death of Pope Francis provided the liberals of CBS News ample opportunity to boast about the liberal polices the pontiff promoted while also giving them a foil against President Trump’s staunch stance against illegal immigration. In their break-in and CBS Mornings newscast, the network spent a lot of their Monday morning boasting about how Francis “try[ed] to make the Catholic…

The late, great Andrew Breitbart forcefully and repeatedly made the case that “politics is downstream from culture.” CBS’s extended whine session over the Trump takeover of the Kennedy Center proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that Breitbart was ultimately right.

The following are just a few of the most obnoxious outbursts from the John Dickerson and Margaret Brennan over the years (via the MRC archives).

Thursday marked the final episode of the CBS Evening News in its Norah O’Donnell era following five and a half years in which she anchored the newscast during some of the more consequential times in our country’s history, but also oversaw CBS cementing itself in third-place for network news and plenty of liberal bias.

The ABC, CBS and NBC evening news networks completely ignored new damning data that bookended Bidenomics as arguably the dumbest set of economic policies the U.S. experienced in its history 

The following are just a few of O’Donnell’s worst attacks on conservatives and praise of progressives since 2019: 

With the inaugural festivities over with and the media totally shifted from Regime to Resistance, it is time for the left to renew their ongoing war against Defense Secretary-designate Pete Hegseth. This time, via the airing of allegations that are in dispute.

While it lacked the schoolings NBC’s liberal journalists faced at the hands of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and longtime GOP hand Hogan Gidley or ABC’s degree of Biden apple polishing, CBS held its own during Monday’s Trump inauguration thanks to the pomposity and obsession with January 6 on the part of many of their lead anchors. NewsBusters slogged through the first nine hours of…

President Joe Biden’s denunciations of an emerging “oligarchy” and “tech-industrial complex” appear to be, beyond a ham-handed attempt at an Eisenhower moment of his own, a clarion call to the media in the waning days of his presidency. If network news is to serve as a guide, it appears that the media have heeded the call.

ABC, CBS, and NBC broke in Wednesday night for President Biden’s farewell address and, while they were never in total awe like they were with Barack Obama, they still showed their stripes in cheering the “advocate for working people” giving “very personal” “speech for the history books” and delivering an “extraordinary” message about the decline of “fact-checking” and an “oligarchy...that…

A carefully elaborated media smear campaign, combining the worst elements of the Bork and Kavanaugh confirmation processes, crashed and burned. Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth appears to have bolstered his confirmation chances, and the media were not thrilled to report that.

While the liberal broadcast and cable networks largely behaved themselves Thursday in their coverage of the official state funeral for late former President Jimmy Carter, there were a few wacky exceptions with CNN using the fact that Carter’s FBI director is still alive to bash President-Elect Trump demanding change at the agency. CBS also had a few moments in political toolery with one moment…

The Regime Media are in mourning, in the wake of Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s momentous announcement. Meta platforms are shifting off of fact-checking and censorship and are moving to community notes and more emphasis on free speech.
