Nets Hype Bloomberg in Race, Ignore Manipulation of News Company

For all the liberal smears against Fox News claiming they’re “state-run media,” it has become clear that's exactly what Bloomberg News would become if former Mayor Michael Bloomberg wins in 2020. While ABC, CBS, and NBC spent Sunday evening and Monday hyping the billionaire’s new presidential campaign, they ignored how Bloomberg News had been ordered to not investigate their owner or his…

Gross: CBS Greenlights Stacey Abrams’ 'Steamy Romance' Thriller for TV

Hollywood is the entertainment arm for the Democratic Party, we get that. However, it’s weird to think both establishments are so intertwined that even individuals as successful as failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate and former romance novelist Stacey Abram gets one of her naughty memoirs turned into a full-length TV series.

CNN's Jim Sciutto Suggests GOP Has 'Psychosis' on Russia, Ukraine

CNN Newsroom co-host Jim Sciutto took the opportunity on Monday to diagnose Republicans with reality-denying "psychosis" and hype his book Shadow War in the process.

Liberal billionaire and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg decided to toss his hat into the already-crowded Democratic Party presidential primary race all at the expense of the credibility of a major news outlet he owns. To deal with the apparent conflict of interest, “Bloomberg News” announced it would not be investigating their owner or his Democratic Party rivals, but “will report on…

Behar Attacks Facebook: A 'Dangerous Tool' for Trump 'Propaganda'

The View hosts couldn’t come to agreement on Monday’s show on the topic of Facebook and free speech.

Cowards: CNN, MSNBC Refuse to Carry WH Event for Conan the Dog

On Monday morning, CNN and MSNBC missed an easy lay-up that would have reinforced their love for America and our military. Instead, they refused to carry live the public portion of a White House event honoring Conan, the Belgian Malinois dog who became famous for their heroism during the October 26 raid that killed ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. In CNN’s case, the Jeffrey Zucker-led network’s…

Media Check Our Thanksgiving Privilege, Tout ‘Day of Mourning’

It’s that time of year again, when the cold bitter truth about our wretched Thanksgiving holiday must be brought to the surface.

Networks Spend 75 Hours on Impeachment, Barely Bothered Under Clinton

Broadcast networks ABC, CBS, and NBC have donated 75 hours of free air time to Democrats’ impeachment hearings against President Trump, despite bad (and consistently shrinking) ratings. Yet in 1998 during President Clinton’s impeachment, these same networks could not be bothered to carry more than a few hours of independent counsel Ken Starr’s one-day presentation of the evidence against the…

Radical Left, Center Left Clash Over 'Plutocrat' Bloomberg on MSNBC

On Monday's Morning Joe, Anand Giridharadas, who seems to be setting himself up to be the left's fiercest critic of Bloomberg, clashed with New York Times columnist and Bloomberg defender Bret Stephens. When Stephens said "this is America" and people like Bloomberg who develop good ideas can be richly rewarded, a thin-skinned Giridharadas shot back, "you don't need to tell me 'this is America.' I…

Nets: Will ‘Moderate’ Bloomberg Harm ‘Moderates’ Biden and Buttigieg?

The three network morning shows on Monday hyped the entry of Michael Bloomberg into the 2020 race as a “moderate” who will take on other “moderates,” Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg.
