Beto's Campaign Ejects Breitbart Editor for 'Hateful Reporting'
As if Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke doesn’t have enough to worry about as he craters in the polls, a staffer working in his campaign caused an embarrassing incident on Tuesday by ejecting a reporter who was covering the event for a conservative news website. O’Rourke -- whose full name is actually Robert Francis “Beto” O'Rourke -- was addressing a rally in South Carolina when a…
Omission Watch: New Lefty ‘Dark Money’ Arm Spending Millions on Ads
A new liberal 501(c)(4) “dark money” group linked to the liberal House Majority PAC intends to spend millions on TV and digital ads to help Democrats maintain control of the House of Representatives.

Telemundo Celebrates Song Honoring Ruthless Mexican Capo
Now that convicted cartel boss Joaquín ´El Chapo ́ Guzmán is serving a life sentence at the ADX Florence supermax prison in Colorado, Telemundo fueled the lore about him as a bigger-than-life hero with a two-minute report on a new narcorrido, a narrative ballad in which the lyrics praise drug trafficking and illegal activities, that portrays him as a loving father and not a serial killer (over 3,…
Not a Good Week: Now NBC Botches New Citizenship Claim
It hasn’t been a good week for NBC. First, MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell had to retract a bombshell claim that Donald Trump’s taxes showed loans co-signed by Russian oligarchs. Now, MSNBC has backed down on an assertion that “children born to U.S. service members outside of the U.S. will no longer be automatically considered citizens. Parents will have to apply for citizenship for their children in…
‘Go, Greta, Go!’: NBC & CBS ‘Smitten’ With Teen ‘Climate Crusader’
On Wednesday night, all three network evening newscasts hailed radical teenage climate change activist Greta Thunberg sailing across the Atlantic to attend a United Nations global warming summit but ignored the inconvenient truth that the trip won’t actually save carbon emissions.

CNN: 'Inspiring' Kamala Rallies Are 'Antidote' to Racism [UPDATED]
On CNN’s New Day Thursday morning, the network ended the 8am EST hour with a gooey segment hyping Kamala Harris as essentially the next [female] Barack Obama.

Sports Media Back On the Blurring-the-Genders Beat
Media attempts at gender blurring are big items in sports coverage again this week. Transgenders (see photo of trans athletes who appeared in documentary "Changing the Game") in high school sports in North Carolina and Connecticut are in the news, and a Montana man's presence in a women's cross-country meet Saturday is fanning the debate as well. Sports media are clearly assisting LGBT advocacy…
CNN Hypes Gun Control Activists Lobbying McConnell

NBC Joins CBS, Omits Inconvenient Tidbit on Climate Change Teen’s Ship
Wednesday’s CBS This Morning gave another glowing segment to Swede and climate change teen Greta Thunberg, but as my colleague Scott Whitlock noted, they failed to include an embarrassing tidbit that, while the teen sailed on a zero emissions-boat across the Atlantic to New York for a United Nations conference, two individuals are being flown across the Atlantic to retrieve the boat.
Cuomo Echoes Biden: 'This Is a Contest for the Soul of Our Country'
Once again, the media and 2020 Democrats have become indistinguishable. CNN host Chris Cuomo began his closing argument Tuesday night by using a line frequently used by Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden: “This is a contest for the soul of our country.” Cuomo’s declaration headlined a monologue devoted to trashing President Trump’s immigration policies.
MSNBC’s O’Donnell Offers Up Weak Apology for Shady Trump Loan Claims
During the opening moments of MSNBC’s The Last Word on Wednesday, host and serial fibber Lawrence O’Donnell buckled under pressure from President Trump’s legal team and retracted his dubious report from the previous night.

Mark Levin Cross-Examines a Trump-Bashing Psychiatrist on the Radio
Chris Pandolfo at Conservative Review reports that Mark Levin booked an anti-Trump guest on his show, which doesn't happen often. Dr. Bandy X. Lee, half of a panel of lefty psychiatrists on last Sunday's Reliable Sources, consented to an interview, but her answers were very strange.
