Pundit Contrasts Obama’s ‘Reasoned’ Approach With GOP’s ‘Meltdown’

In early 2008, Barack Obama annoyed many liberals when he said that President Reagan (but not President Clinton) had “changed the trajectory of America.” New York magazine’s Chait no doubt will irritate many conservatives by suggesting Obama has done the same over the past seven-plus years. In a piece for the March 21 issue, Chait commented, “Obama hasn’t so much moved from the center to the left…

ABC, CBS Paint Cruz as Down in the Mud with Trump in Wives Debate

On Thursday, ABC’s World News Tonight and the CBS Evening News chose not to be the arbiter of whether Donald Trump or Ted Cruz was in the wrong concerning the debate over the wives and despite the fact Cruz had nothing to do with an ad of a naked Melania Trump, the newscasts painted Cruz as down in the mud with Trump for “defending the virtue of his wife.”

NYT’s Landler Pities Obama's 'Foreign Trip Overshadowed By Violence'

New York Times reporter Mark Landler, a veteran fawner over Obama, sympathized with the president’s plight as his historic visit to Cuba was overshadowed by Islamic terror attacks in Brussels, in “Global Crises Overshadow Another Trip.” The president was portrayed as a passive victim of international events, as if the real tragedies are Obama’s interrupted vacations or squashed attempts at…

WSJ Worries: 'Uncertain' Future for Contraceptives for Little Sisters

One way liberal media reporters who cover the Supreme Court subtly skew their coverage in a liberal direction is by focusing on a given Court case through the lens of the how it impacts the government or how it would deal a "blow" to a liberal policy agenda, not how it impacts the rights of individuals who claim injury to the constitutional liberties. The Wall Street Journal's Jess Bravin and…

Media Promote Democrats Smearing Trump, Cruz on Terrorism

The liberal media is hyper-sensitive about Republicans suggesting the Democrats are soft on terrorism or communism or any foreign threat. Republicans can’t say a Democrat is “un-American” without protests from liberal journalists. But Democrats can suggest Republicans are aiding communists or dictators, or seem like communists or dictators, and that is acceptable discourse. See the front page of…

Morning Joe Contradiction: Trump Losing, Why Not Go with Winner Trump?

The liberal media is known for ignoring facts to help push their narrative against conservatives. But rarely is it as egregious as what occurred on Morning Joe Thursday morning. During the seven o’clock hour co-host Mika Brzezinski reported on a set of polls, one of which was this Fox News poll, showing GOP front runner Donald Trump losing by double digits to Hillary Clinton. A few minutes later…

Morning News Shows Censor Little Sisters SCOTUS Case

A Supreme Court case about women and contraception should be media-bait. But since this case concerns nuns and conscience, the media aren't biting.  On Wednesday, the morning news shows from the three broadcast networks, ABC, CBS and NBC, reported nothing on Tuesday’s U.S. Supreme Court case filed by the Little Sisters of the Poor and other religiously-affiliated groups. Justices heard the oral…

ABC’s Kimmel Parody Ad Claims Cruz ‘Almost Exactly the Same’ as Trump

Well that didn’t take long. After Cruz’s strong comments condemning Islamic terrorism Tuesday, the media seemed to be following the same teleprompter in making endless comparisons to Trump. ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! also jumped on the bandwagon with a parody ad, narrated by an eerily realistic Mitt Romney impersonator, who claimed Cruz was “almost exactly the same [as Trump] but without the steaks…

It’s Been 513 Days Since Any Big 3 Network Has Touched IRS Scandal

The latest stunning development in the IRS targeting scandal, that a federal appeals court on Tuesday scolded the IRS for failing to turn over its full list of groups it targeted, has yet to be reported on any of the Big Three (ABC, CBS, NBC) network evening or morning shows. However, as NewsBusters’ Scott Whitlock reported, all three networks on Thursday found time to gush over Barack Obama’s “…

Obama: Telling IS 'You're Not Strong' Is Anti-Terror Plan; Press Yawns

On Wednesday, at a joint press conference with Argentine President Mauricio Macri in Buenos Aires, President Obama told the world that it can defeat the Islamic State "in part by saying, you are not strong; you are weak." Fortunately for him and unfortunately for those who wish to be fully informed, the establishment press is almost always there to save Obama from himself. Google News searches…

Twitter 'Moment' Trashes Georgia Religious Liberty Bill

A few months ago, Twitter rolled out a new curated feature called "Moments," which gives users a roundup of interesting tweets related to a news item that's hot on Twitter at the moment. With human curation, of course, come human biases, and, unsurprisingly, more often than not they seem to be liberal in nature when it comes to politics.

Networks Gush Over Obama’s ‘Fancy Footwork’ and ‘Dancing Diplomacy’

All three networks on Thursday gushed over Barack Obama’s “fancy footwork” and “dancing diplomacy” in Argentina. Two days after a brutal terror attack in Brussels, the President traveled to Buenos Aires for a dinner with the country’s president. Today’s Savannah Guthrie lauded, “Now to that dance making headlines around the world. President Obama doing the tango.” An NBC graphic screamed, “Two…
