Politico Compares Trump Memorial Day Tweets to Patriotic Newspapers
One favorite pastime of the national media is mocking President Trump's tweets as gauche and inappropriate. The people who make the Politico Playbook newsletter played this game on Memorial Day with the president, suggesting all of his tweets should have been respectful tributes to our war dead. Politico contrasted Trump tweeting about Obamagate and "Make America Great Again" with our apparently…
Nasty HBO Comedy: 'F** Donald Trump,’ ‘White People Want to Divide Us’
HBO’s dramedy Insecure has long been known for its focus on race and racism. You’re likely to hear the words “white people” several times per episode, and never in a good way. But Sunday’s episode “Lowkey Trippin’” turned things up a notch by claiming that “white people want to divide us.” And, just for kicks, they also threw in a profane jab at President Trump.
MSNBC Excludes Republicans from Reacting to Biden Race Gaffe
As MSNBC's weekend shows devoted a number of segments to Joe Biden's declaration that "you ain't black" if you're considering voting for Donald Trump over him, the liberal news network lived up to its reputation of being DNCTV as a number of Democrats, but not Republicans, were included in discussions of the presumptive Democratic nominee's gaffe. In particular, the hours hosted by anchor…
Mitchell Trashes Trump 'Endangering Troops' on Memorial Day
On her show Monday, MSNBC anchor Andrea Mitchell and her Democrat panel used the Memorial Day holiday to attack President Trump “endangering troops” by not wearing a mask, while simultaneously fawning over Joe Biden and daydreaming that he was president instead.
MSNBC Warns: Second Wave Is Coming for ‘Red America’ ‘Trump Voters'
It doesn’t seem that the media has learned anything after they completely mangled their predictions that red states like Florida and Georgia would see catastrophic consequences for opening up early. On MSNBC this afternoon, “conservative” analyst Rick Tyler was ready to make more hyperbolic predictions about red states getting “hit hard” by the coronavirus in coming months. Tyler even used the…
CNN Averaged 4 Minutes Per Day on Biden's Gaffe, Then Stopped Covering
As Fox News noted on Friday, it took CNN 12 hours to cover Biden’s latest gaffe: asserting on a radio show Friday morning that if you aren’t a Biden supporter, “You ain’t black.” That disinterest continued into the weeked; after spending average of less than four minutes per day on the controversy, CNN stopped covering it entirely as of noon EST on Monday, May 25.
FLASHBACK: Using Memorial Day to Trash Trump and Question 'Heroes'
This Memorial Day weekend, the MRC’s FLASHBACK series has already reminded you of MSNBC's Chris Hayes admitting he was “uncomfortable” referring to fallen military members as heroes. But there are other examples of the media using this holiday for their own purposes. On the 2019 Memorial Day edition of Morning Joe, co-host Mika Brzezinski tried (and failed) to get guests to use the day to trash…
Stelter Insists Media Acts in 'Good Faith,' As He Proves He Doesn't
CNN Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter said something fascinating on his show Sunday. He complained to New York Times media columnist Ben Smith that "I don't know how to show folk that journalists are mostly acting in good faith. Here's how a show allegedly focused on journalism fails to show good faith. Stelter had on a writer from The Atlantic to discuss the coronavirus and never whispered a…
CNN Brands President Trump a Hypocrite for Not Attending Church
A president can be an ardent defender of religious freedom without being overtly devout himself. But that didn't stop CNN from branding President Trump a hypocrite for having not attended church this weekend while having recently promoted the re-opening of houses of worship.
AG Pushes Business Titan to Fight Dirty to Defeat Rival on 'Billions'
Like Hatfields and McCoys, the feud between New York Attorney General Chuck Rhoades, Jr., and hedge fund manager Bobby “Axe” Axelrod is the never ending battle fueling the drama on Showtime’s Billions.
Both are corrupt, ruthless and willing to fight dirty. This week it was the AG's turn to roll around in the mud. Rhoades tried and failed to enlist rival billionaire Mike Prince in his effort to…
Starz Drama: Sisters Bond Over Taking Abortion Pill, Not Telling Men
The May 25 episode of Vida titled “Episode 21” drives home the point of how cavalier and apathetic some pro-abortion women can be when it comes to terminating their unborn children. This episode on Starz even shows the two leading characters, sisters, bonding over the pills used to perform the abortion.
Post-Apocalyptic Show 'Snowpiercer' Rallies People to 'Eat the Rich'
It should surprise no one that TNT’s post-apocalyptic series Snowpiercer is about as subtle as the 1001-car train the show follows. A class warfare story surrounding the survivors of climate change is about as blunt as one can get. Apparently, however, it can get worse. Now we’ve come to the “eat the rich” portion of our propaganda.
When Professors Deny Media Bias? Guess They Didn't READ Anything
Professors are often the first to try and deny the problem of media bias. Take the website The Conversation, with its motto "Academic rigor, journalistic flair." This recent article is lacking both of those: "Claims of ideological bias among the media may be overblown." Here's the problem with bias-denying Experts: they don't actually read or watch the content.
NBC Admits Georgia Reopening Looks Successful So Far
On Saturday's NBC Nightly News, the show ran a report which surprisingly gave an upbeat assessment of the results Georgia has gotten in the four seeks since it reopened in spite of all the naysayers who warned of disaster. But, in spite of the criticism that Georgia's Republican governor, Brian Kemp, received a month ago that was mostly from the left, only a soundbite of President Donald Trump…
