AP Keeps Hillary's 'With a Cloth?' Response Out of Coverage

The Associated Press works very hard to ensure that its subscribing outlets and low-information voters who rely solely on its work — knowingly or unknowingly — never learn about Hillary Clinton's smart-aleck, sarcastic, condescending, reality-avoiding behavior. Tuesday night, four AP reporters (saved here for future reference, fair use and discussion purposes) — Jack Gillum and Stephen Braun in…

Cuomo: 'We' in the Media Encourage Sanders to Fight 'Centrist' Clinton

Reacting to a new CNN poll finding Hillary Clinton's poll numbers slipping, New Day's Chris Cuomo admitted to journalistic boosting of Bernie Sanders. The anchor insisted, "We, and a lot in the media, were encouraging of Bernie Sanders getting in the race because the senator from Vermont does provoke a lot of passion from the left part of that party." Cuomo proclaimed: "We thought that that would…

Networks of the World Unite! Won't Call Sanders Socialist 82% of Time

The Cold War is clearly over. In just a few decades, the media have dragged the U.S. from red, white and blue to just red. ABC, CBS and NBC have normalized the far-left views of socialist presidential candidate Bernie Sanders simply by refusing to say the word “socialism” -- ignoring it in 82 percent of stories. Socialism, which used to be equated with “gulag,” bread lines and the deaths of tens…

Univision Misses Opportunity to Hold Hillary’s Feet to the Fire

During an interview with Hillary Clinton last week in New Hampshire, Univision anchor María Elena Salinas missed a critical opportunity to live up to her claim that her network’s news coverage is “fair and balanced.” That’s because unfortunately, the veteran anchor at the nation’s largest Spanish-language network allowed the Democratic presidential candidate and former Secretary of State of the…

Trump vs. Supermodel Fight Reminds Superficial Nightline of 2016 Race

The increasingly vapid Nightline on Tuesday night actually covered the 2016 presidential race, but only because Donald Trump is feuding with a supermodel. This is just the show's second story on the election in the last month. Byron Pitts sarcastically opened the show: "Famously beautiful person Donald Trump says Heidi Klum at 42 is no longer a perfect ten." Sounding like a clickbait headline, he…

Blogger: Right Says 14th Am. Covers Only ‘Corporations and Fetuses'

The three Reconstruction Amendments to the Constitution were, as the term suggests, ratified in the wake of the Civil War. These days, according to Daily Kos writer Jon Perr, conservatives are generally OK with the anti-slavery 13th Amendment but have watered down the 15th, which abolished racial restrictions on voting, and reserve their “greatest and most visceral…scorn” for the 14th, as…

Singer Ciara Talks to CBS on Faith, Celibacy with Seahawks' Wilson

The media doesn’t take kindly to conservatives or Christians in Hollywood. At the best, they’re treated like simpletons or weirdos; at worst, they’re called names or rumors fly about their sexuality. Pop singer Ciara and her openly Christian boyfriend Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson have been treated to both ends of the media’s gossip about their decision to practice celibacy.
