Velshi Wants to Push Climate Regulations Using Pandemic

On Sunday's Velshi show, one day after MSNBC host Ali Velshi recommended using the coronavirus pandemic to push for more welfare programs in the U.S. to fix capitalism, he devoted a segment to talking up the possibility of also using the deadly pandemic to pressure the airline and fossil fuel industries to adhere to more regulations to effect climate change.

CNN's Stelter Sucks Up to AT&T CEO in Simpering Softball Interview

CNN’s Brian Stelter on Sunday spent a full interview with AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson lobbing softballs, even as Congressional talks over a coronavirus stimulus package were faltering due to, among other things, concerns about whether corporations would use the aid responsibly. However, the Reliable Sources host’s decision to genuflect rather than ask anything meaningful isn’t much of a shock…

NYT: Trump, GOP Exploiting Virus to ‘Assault,' 'Stonewall' Democrats

The New York Times is using the coronavirus crisis to push its preferred ideology -- while having the nerve to blame Trump and conservatives for doing so -- in “Under the Virus’s Cloak, Trump Pursues Long-Sought Policies.” But in order to push their amnesty agenda, the Times is being as short-sighted and irresponsibly optimistic as they accuse Trump of being, hinting that since cases of…

Joy Reid Guest: Asians Attacked Because Trump Says 'Chinese' Virus

On Joy Reid's MSNBC show, ex-Republican Kurt Bardella claims that because Pres. Trump uses the term "Chinese virus," Asians "can't go on the subway without being attacked. They can't go to school without being attacked."

Univision Commits Journalistic Arson

Univision loves to fuel the fake news flames, even if it means fanning them in times of a national emergency. Case in point is this video from the network´s morning kaffeeklatsch Despierta America, that showcases their skill at instilling panic and division in the country.

Sunday Best? WashPost Highlights Pope-Trashing (Muslim?) Songstress

Why, in March of 2020, is The Washington Post devoting four pages of the Sunday newspaper to a one-hit wonder from 1992? Because she ripped up a picture of sainted Pope John Paul II on Saturday Night Live. There won’t be a four-page spread with eight pictures on Ugly Kid Joe or the Soup Dragons. But say “Christianity lied to me,” and your latest attempt at rehabilitation gets another round of…

WashPost Writer: Trump's Rural Voters Face Virus with Few ICU Beds

Elizabeth Vaughn at RedState noticed that The Washington Post can’t help but show contempt for rural voters who pulled the lever for Donald Trump. Don't they know Democrats are the "party of health care"? Philip Bump's story was headlined “1 in 8 Trump voters lives in a county with no ICU beds.” And they're the older voters who are more vulnerable to the coronavirus.

Media’s Negativity Won’t Dampen the American Spirit

Silver linings accompany most catastrophic events, and one major one with the coronavirus is the remarkable way Americans (and people throughout the world) have come together to fight this outbreak. Though the stock market has reflected a nation in panic, in other respects Americans, for the most part, have reacted responsibly, unselfishly and cooperatively, and I pray we are making substantial…

The Media's Communist China Problem

It is a remarkable thing to read. Hop into the wayback machine and park it in front of this article that appeared as part of a China series in The New York Times Magazine on November 18, 2018. The author is Philip P. Pan, he the Asia editor of The New York Times. The title of the piece?

Maddow: Trump's 'Fairy Tale' Press Conferences Will 'Cost Lives'

MSNBC's Rachel Maddow wants President Trump's daily coronavirus press conferences to be taken off the air, because lives depend on it. Oh, and hope in the midst of these turbulent times? We cannot have that! She concluded her brief screed by suggesting that continuing to air them would lead to more people dying! Anyway, the progressive commentator made the outlandish remarks on her Friday show…

FLASHBACK: Chuck Todd Laughably Claimed ‘No Point of View’

Despite the overwhelmingly hostile, transparently liberal tone of the mainstream media, some journalists still try and deny what it obvious to most everyone. NBC and MSNBC host Chuck Todd did just that five years ago this week. Appearing on the March 18, 2015 edition of The Mike O’Meara Show, O’Meara asked if the Meet the Press host “gets any blowback from political leaders about the point of…
