CNN Frets: Defunding 'Lawful' PP 'Takes Away Woman's Right to Choose'

On Wednesday's New Day on CNN, co-anchor Alisyn Camerota repeatedly fretted over the possibility that cutting off federal funding of Planned Parenthood would make it difficult for women to get abortions. In one segment, she asserted that, in doing so, "obviously it does take away a woman's right to choose." In a later segment, she suggested that defunding Planned Parenthood would lead women to…

Ezra Klein Prematurely Declares Yet Another Peak Trump

How many times have we heard that Donald Trump has peaked since he declared his candidacy for president in June? A half dozen times? More? And each time Peak Trump was announced by pundits, it was inevitably followed by yet another surge in the polls. This is probably why in recent weeks, media prognosticators seem to have shied from declaring Peak Trump since it is always followed by you-know-…

Washington Post: Fiorina Anti-Abortion Champion; Won't Drop Vid Dodge

Just when you think the liberal media is about to give a fair nod to a conservative, they follow it up with any “negative” ammunition they can find. But let’s face it, complimenting a conservative is a very small space on their wheel of tolerance According to the Washington Post, Fiorina has been dubbed the champion of anti-abortion movement. Unfortunately, the well-deserved praise is offered…

CNN's Cuomo Badgers Pro-Lifer Who Made Planned Parenthood Videos

On Wednesday's New Day, CNN's Chris Cuomo acted more like a pro-Planned Parenthood prosecutor than a journalist in his ten-minute-plus interview of David Daleiden. Cuomo repeatedly badgered Daleiden – who managed the undercover project that uncovered the abortion giant's sale of aborted babies' organs and tissues – over the summary videos of the footage his organization shot. He also touted how "…

Forensic Firm Rebuts PP Defenders, Says CMP Videos are 'Authentic'

Tuesday afternoon, Alan Fram laughably headlined his coverage of Planned Parenthood head Cecile Richards' appearance before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee at the Associated Press as follows: "FACING CONGRESS, PLANNED PARENTHOOD CHIEF REBUTS VIDEOS." She did no such thing. Most notably, Fram quoted Richards making the following statement to the committee: "The outrageous…

Bozell Calls on Networks To Post Their Raw Footage Like CMP Videos

The difference between these news networks mentioning "heavily edited" videos and the Center for Medical Progress is that CMP is far more honest and transparent in disclosing the full footage and posting it online.  These "news" networks have a responsibility to do the same. Today, I am calling on CNN, ABC, NBC and CBS to make public all the footage they collect for all of the news segments they…

PBS NewsHour Musters a Minute for Planned Parenthood Hearing

If there was a contest for who would try hardest among the networks to ignore the House hearing with Planned Parenthood boss Cecile Richards, the winner was the PBS NewsHour. They gave it 66 seconds, with 18 seconds of a Richards soundbite and 13 seconds of GOP Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio. What was especially weird about it was how there was really no serious attempt to explain the subject of the…

Trevor Noah Mocks Hillary Clinton’s Interview With Lena Dunham

On Tuesday night, Daily Show host Trevor Noah surprisingly took time out of his second broadcast to mock Hillary Clinton’s recent softball interview with liberal actress Lena Dunham. The Comedy Central comedian introduced the segment by joking that “Hillary knows how to win the nation. First you have to win the butt-smotherers. And here's the thing, Lena Dunham loves Hillary, too.”

CBS Affected by Amnesia Over Trump Tax Plan

Candidate Donald Trump recently released his tax plan and the media were all over it. However, CBS seemed to suffer a case of amnesia between two broadcasts on its network. During the morning of Sept. 28, CBS found support for the plan, but by evening (when far more people were watching), CBS seemed to have forgotten all about it.

NYT Defends 'Quite Conservative' John Roberts From Right-Wing 'Wrath'

New York Times Supreme Court correspondent Adam Liptak filed a liberal pleasing analysis Tuesday, fervently insisting Chief Justice John Roberts is a staunch conservative, despite what ridiculous right-wingers may think. His reported opinion piece, based on voting analysis by law professors, strained to show Roberts as a loyal conservative Justice, but the evidence is hardly as cut and dried as…
