Surprise: CBS Defends Judge for Giving Bible to Convicted Murderer

In a surprising move, CBS This Morning on Tuesday defended a judge in Texas who gave a Bible to convicted murderer Amber Guyger. Judge Tammy Kemp last week made the dramatic gesture after the brother of the man the police officer shot called on Guyger to turn her life over to Jesus.

WashPost Editorial Hammers NBA as Paper Publishes Chinese Propaganda

Tuesday’s “Democracy Dies in Darkness” Washington Post print edition ran a strongly-worded editorial condemning the supposedly woke NBA for showing more interest in pleasuring the murderous Chinese regime than defending freedom.

Nets Heavily Cover Amber Guyger Trial, Downplayed Mohamed Noor

Over the past couple of weeks, the dominant media have displayed a classic example of their double standard in deciding which police shootings are worthy of coverage and which are less so.

CBS Lectures: 'Check' 'American Principles' at the Door for China

CBS This Morning on Tuesday lectured viewers that companies should be prepared to “check” “American principles” “at the door” in order to do business in China. While liberal journalists often react with fury at perceived assaults on the First Amendment, the NBA capitulating to the communist country resulted in a collective shrug.

Outspoken Lefty Coach Steve Kerr Stays Silent On China-NBA Debacle

One would have presumed that woke, anti-Trump NBA coach Steve Kerr would be making a stand against all things authoritarian. After all, he’s one of the bigger virtue-signallers in the sports world. Yet when faced with the actual fascism of China policing the speech of his American colleagues, the Golden State Warriors coach has nothing at all to say.
