NYT: Wall-to-Wall Bias Over Trump, Illegals, and ‘Sanctuary Cities'

Friday’s New York Times featured wall-to-wall scare-mongering over Donald Trump’s opposition to illegal immigration, and placed the perfectly respectable term “sanctuary cities” in scare quotes, as if was somehow out of bounds. Reporter Julia Preston, perhaps the paper’s worst offender when it comes to producing biased, pro-amnesty stories (and that's some stiff competition), struck twice in…

MSNBC’s Melber Slams Clinton Surrogate’s Lame Excuse for Ducking Press

It’s been 273 days since Hillary Clinton last held a press conference and even some on MSNBC are starting to lose patience with Clinton’s antics that even-keeled legal correspondent Ari Melber flipped out during Thursday’s Hardball on EMILY’s List president Stephanie Schriock for the shameless talking point that Clinton “talk[s] to the press all the time.”

NBC Skips News that State Dept. Will Release Clinton’s Full Schedule

Despite a total of four hours of air time, NBC’s Today on Friday completely skipped the latest development in the ongoing scandal involving the Clinton Foundation, Hillary Clinton and the State Department. Instead, the network prioritized 14 minutes to covering an Alicia Keys concert. Not exactly the most pressing story.

Dowd Surprisingly Admits: If Focus Is on Clinton, ‘She Loses’ Election

On Friday’s Good Morning America, ABC’s chief political analyst Matthew Dowd essentially admitted what many in the media won’t say about this election: Hillary Clinton is a weak candidate. Discussing Clinton’s high unfavorables, Dowd called her out for disappearing from the campaign trail, and letting all her scandals become the focus of her campaign. If the narrative “becomes about her, she…

7 Things You Didn't Know About The Union that Represents Journalists

Friendly news media don’t tell the whole truth about unions. One particular union gets better treatment than the others -- the Communications Workers of America. CWA includes the news media itself, meaning many so-called neutral reporters, editors and producers are actually union employees. This Labor Day, it’s important to remember that when you look for the union label, it’s only many in the…

Libs Gone Insane: Fusion Thinks ‘Everyone’s A Little Queer’

Editor’s Note: Normal people might find some of this offensive. (We hope.) It’s 8 a.m. (East Coast, anyway.) Are you “woke” yet? No, not awake, woke. The term “woke” refers to “being aware.. Knowing whats going on in the community,” according to Urban Dictionary. Ridiculous lefty Fusion describes the use of the word this way: “For years, the idea of being ‘woke’ was a hallmark of socially-minded…

WashPost Columnist Calling for a Shutdown of Conservative Talk Radio?

When former Bush chief speechwriter Michael Gerson wrote a column for The Washington Post headlined “Cancel this reality show,” it sounded like just another anti-Trump column. Or is Gerson calling for a shutdown of conservative talk radio? It's understandable that establishment Republicans would despise the dynamic of conservative radio talkers trying to yank party leaders to the right. But…

CBS Touts Attacks on Donald Trump by Joe Biden and Tim Kaine

Instead of reporting the findings of a Politico investigation which found that Bill Clinton had abused a federal program to supplement the Clinton Foundation, CBS chose to tout the campaign efforts of Vice President Joe Biden and VP candidate Tim Kaine. “Hillary Clinton left it to a couple of high-ranking surrogates to attack Trump's immigration position today,” reported fill-in anchor Maurice…

CBS, NBC Skip Kaepernick Wearing Anti-Police Socks Depicted as Pigs

After droves of coverage over the past week boosting and largely defending San Francisco 49ers backup quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s decision to not stand for The Star-Spangled Banner during a preseason game, two of the “big three” networks shielded their viewers on Thursday night from learning that Kaepernick has been wearing anti-police socks at practice depicting law enforcement officers as…
