AP Cheers New-Home Sales Increase in West, Covers Up Drops Elsewhere

Today's report on February's new-home sales from the Census Bureau showed seasonally adjusted declines in three of the nation's four regions and an increase in the West. The Associated Press and reporter Josh Boak, displaying brazenness which might have even embarrassed the scribes at Pravda during the worst days of the Soviet Union, concentrated on how great things were in the West in their…

Dissidents' Delight? NYT Heaps Praise on Obama, Its Man in Havana

As President Obama’s three-day Cuba excursion wraps up, the New York Times coverage from Havana took a few shots at the Communist nation’s persecution of dissidents, and the overall authoritarian nature of the regime. But the fawning over Obama’s “remarkable” visit went way over the top, including self-fawning: "Mr. Obama himself marveled aloud at the significance of his trip." On the last day of…

Journalists Attack Cruz on Twitter for Muslim Comments After Brussels

The media have been up-in-arms attacking Ted Cruz after he spoke out against Islamic terrorism following an attack in Brussels. Contrasting Obama’s politically correct message warning against “Islamophobia” Cruz advocated vigilant monitoring of Muslim neighborhoods to watch for radicalism in the U.S. The outrage and personal attacks from the media were never in more full-force than on Twitter,…

Study: Networks Don’t Report Dangers of Abortion to Women

The broadcast networks have a long history of supporting the pro-abortion side of the life debate. That bias reveals itself as much in what they won’t say as in what they will. Not only do journalists routinely refuse to report how abortion destroys unborn babies, but also they censor the danger abortion poses for women. For the past two years, ABC, CBS and NBC haven’t mentioned a single case of…

WashPost Publicizes 'Prominent Scientist,' Downplays His Suing Obama

The Washington Post knows how to downplay leftist environmental activism as merely the educated opinion of scientists. On A-3 in Wednesday’s paper came a story blandly headlined “Dire climate-change forecast from prominent scientists.” The online headline has a lot more attitude: “We had all better hope these scientists are wrong about the planet’s future.” The “reporter” is also a thinly…

Blogger: Righty Smears of Obama Detract From Warnings About Trump

The boy who cried “Wolf!” eventually had a serious credibility problem. Now, according to Talking Points Memo editor and publisher Josh Marshall, so do anti-Donald Trump conservatives as a result of the right’s frequent over-the-top allegations regarding President Obama. Marshall thinks it’s fair for conservatives (or anyone) to call Trump a “demagogue and potential strongman,” but argued in a…

Wife of ‘The Bern’ Gets Puff Piece Treatment on Fusion

Fusion’s Jorge Rivas just published an embarrassingly complimentary puff piece on Jane Sanders.

Networks Shoot for NCAA Basketball News 5 Times More Than Debt Crisis

March Madness 2016 has begun filling up sports bars, lowering office productivity and bringing basketball and non-basketball fans together through friendly betting. The liberal news media go crazy for “the big event,” devoting huge amounts of time to the annual college basketball tournament. Yet, the far more important matter of the national debt, which topped $19 trillion in 2016, is barely…
