Fox & Friends Spends 5 Times More on Iran Than Other Nets Combined
Monday morning's newscasts made a stark illustration of how much importance FNC places on the issue of human rights in Iran in contrast with the broadcast networks and CNN as Fox and Friends managed to spend five times as much time on the anti-government protests as ABC, CBS, NBC, and CNN all combined that morning.
AP Offers Empty Hype on How 'Threats Soared' Against Media in 2017
The Associated Press hyped the global threat to journalists in New Year’s Eve report from Brussels headlined “Media group: 81 reporters died, threats soared in 2017.” The International Federation of Journalists lamented "epidemic levels" of impunity for attacks on journalists, but AP's headline didn't note the number of journalists killed was the lowest in a decade. And there was no documentation…
Riding the ‘CannaBus’: CNN Aids Stoners With Gas Mask Bong Rips
Even without the deplorable Kathy Griffin, CNN was still able to send off 2017 like only they can: With a reporter riding the so-called ‘CannaBus’ through Denver, Colorado, wearing pot leaf earrings, and helping stoners take bong rips. With less than two hours until midnight, New Year’s Eve Live co-host Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen wanted an update from reporter Randi Kaye to partying with…
Year's Top Sports Story at AP Is NFL Kneeling — Not Lost Fans, Viewers
On Christmas Day, perhaps to minimize its exposure, the Associated Press published its top ten sports stories of the year. Readers will not be at all surprised that "NFL players kneeling during the national anthem" as a result of President Donald Trump's "feud with the NFL" was "the runaway winner ... in balloting by AP members and editors." Predictably, the AP didn't mention the lower attendance…
EW Mag Marks 2017 By Praising Obama, Kimmel, Kaepernick, Tarring Trump
Entertainment Weekly’s year-end best of double issue (dated December 29, 2017 – January 5, 2018) came with its standard anti-Trump and pro-Obama political slant scattered throughout the publication, including this gem of a headline: “Jimmy Kimmel: In Trying Times, The Late-Night Jester Became A Surprising – And Compelling – Voice Of Reason.”
NBC Dismisses Trump Support for Iranian Protesters, Touts Propaganda
On Sunday evening, the NBC Nightly News was the only network evening newscast to run a full report on the anti-government demonstrations in Iran. But, on the down side, the report dismissed President Donald Trump's words of support for protesters as not helpful, and did little to counter the authoritarian regime's propaganda.
CNN: U.S. Has No 'Moral Leg to Stand On' in Criticizing Iran
Early Saturday evening Eastern Time, CNN International Senior Correspondent Arwa Damon, opening a CNN-US panel discussion on the anti-government protests in Iran, read the Iranian government's reactions to Donald Trump's Saturday tweets which quoted and replayed related portions of the President's September speech at the United Nations. Damon followed that statement with a stunning example of the…
NFL Scrooges Fine Saints' Player Who Wore Christmas Cleats
Cleats honoring Colin Kaepernick and referring to police officers as "pigs" are A-OK with the National Football League, but Christmas-themed shoes are worthy of a significant fine. Just ask the New Orleans Saints' Alvin Kamara, who was fined $6,076 for spreading Christmas cheer on the football field last week.
CNN Hosts Continue to Bemoan Trump Jabbing Liberals on Global Warming
Over the weekend, CNN hosts have continued to fret over President Donald Trump taking a jab at global warming in a tweet about the record cold temperatures in the Eastern U.S. On Sunday's State of the Union, CNN anchor Dana Bash wondered if it was "appropriate" for President Trump to make such a joke about an issue that "scientists believe is harming the country and the world" as she spoke with…
Jorge Ramos Proclaims 2018 'Year Of The Resistance'
Fresh from his year-end African safari (with subsequent column already in the bag), Univision anchor Jorge Ramos graces Twitter with a bold proclamation, decreeing that 2018 shall be the "Year Of The Resistance." Funny, I thought that's what 2017 was.
NBC's Year-End Fake News Targets Former Milwaukee Co. Sheriff Clarke
NBC News has given us yet another fake establishment press story to cap off a year of media sloppiness unlike any other. On Friday, the network breathlessly tweeted out a copy of a search warrant "made public today," directed at "an e-mail address associated with Trump surrogate and former Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr." That the warrant itself was dated March 7 apparently didn't…
CBS Wonders if Trump Supporting Iranian People ‘The Wrong Thing to Do'
After CBS initially ignored the Iranian people’s uprising against their oppressors from Thursday to Saturday, and then downplayed the murder of two protesters and shootings of others earlier on Sunday, White House Correspondent Major Garrett finally dedicated some sort of significant time to the subject (two minutes 31 seconds) for the network when he was filling in on Face The Nation.…
After Ignoring Deaths in Iran, ABC Claims U.S. Has No Moral Authority
After ABC began their Sunday morning programming by ignoring the Iranian regime’s brutal murder of two anti-government protesters overnight, the network’s make-believe Republican Matthew Dowd took to This Week and declared that the United States had no moral authority to call them out on their human rights abuses.
Iran Starts Killing Protesters, ABC Ignores While CBS and NBC Downplay
The anti-government protests targeting government and religious leaders sweeping across Iran took a bloody turn Sunday as overnight reports surfaces of two protestors being killed at the hands of the corrupt government. Disgustingly, the deaths didn’t trigger much air on the three major American networks. ABC’s Good Morning America had a blackout of the deaths and protests all together while NBC…
