Oh, What Has Ilhan Omar Said Now? The Nets Don’t Care

Radical Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is at it again. The Democrat on Sunday called the U.S. hypocritical in terms how it deals with Ukrainian refugees vs. countries like Syria and Central America. She also appeared way out of step with both Republicans and Democrats, decrying “disastrous” military aide to Ukraine. Yet on the networks? Crickets from them as they ignore the potentially embarrassing…

Prior to Monday’s explosive post-briefing kerfuffle (which NewsBusters was able to obtain from a source), the regularly scheduled Psaki Show featured the return of Doocy Time as the Fox News correspondent battled the press secretary over who or what’s to blame for high gas prices and why there’s been, at best, an apprehension to increased domestic oil and gas production as Russia’s war on…

‘Outrage’ as Nets Obsess Over ‘Scolding’; Ignoring Border, Hunter

According to CBS and NBC, here’s what matters: Ron DeSantis “scolding” teens for wearing masks. What doesn’t matter? Issues like the many Hunter Biden scandals, the crisis at the border and critical race theory being taught in schools.

Column: NBC Makes Ron DeSantis ‘the Face of Controversy’

In the annals of TV networks manufacturing scandals, one of the lamest examples was Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis telling high school students at an event of his that “you do not have to wear those masks. I mean, please take them off. Honestly, it’s not doing anything, and we’ve got to stop this COVID theater.”
NBC Nightly News tried to make this a story for not just one night, but…

ABC Ignores 'Largest Jump' in Gas Prices in American History!

As gas prices continue to skyrocket to astronomical levels around the country on Monday, ABC’s World News Tonight completely ignored the story.

Fireworks: White House Reporters Squabble Over Press Access

On Monday afternoon after the White House press briefing, the Briefing Room became the site of a contentious and, at times, heated debate about who gets to ask questions and how many as, thanks to longstanding power bestowed on the AP reporter slot, the Q&A portion of the briefing only lasted about 39 minutes.

New York Times Whines GOP ‘Want to Further Gut the IRS,' Cripple ATF

The New York Times again reliably rides to the defense of overbearing federal government agencies. Reporter Glenn Thrush on Saturday defended the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms in “A.T.F., Agency Crucial to Biden’s Gun Plan, Struggles to Push for Reform.” He picked on the bureau’s acting director for being civil at a gun industry convention.
