As President Obama’s three-day Cuba excursion wraps up, the New York Times coverage from Havana took a few shots at the Communist nation’s persecution of dissidents, and the overall authoritarian nature of the regime. But the fawning over Obama’s “remarkable” visit went way over the top, including self-fawning: "Mr. Obama himself marveled aloud at the significance of his trip." On the last day of…

The media have been up-in-arms attacking Ted Cruz after he spoke out against Islamic terrorism following an attack in Brussels. Contrasting Obama’s politically correct message warning against “Islamophobia” Cruz advocated vigilant monitoring of Muslim neighborhoods to watch for radicalism in the U.S. The outrage and personal attacks from the media were never in more full-force than on Twitter,…

The broadcast networks have a long history of supporting the pro-abortion side of the life debate. That bias reveals itself as much in what they won’t say as in what they will. Not only do journalists routinely refuse to report how abortion destroys unborn babies, but also they censor the danger abortion poses for women. For the past two years, ABC, CBS and NBC haven’t mentioned a single case of…

The Washington Post knows how to downplay leftist environmental activism as merely the educated opinion of scientists. On A-3 in Wednesday’s paper came a story blandly headlined “Dire climate-change forecast from prominent scientists.” The online headline has a lot more attitude: “We had all better hope these scientists are wrong about the planet’s future.” The “reporter” is also a thinly…

ABC and NBC on Wednesday aggressively pushed back against Ted Cruz’s new terror policies. Good Morning America even highlighted Bernie Sanders as an example of why the Republican’s call to proactively monitor Muslim neighborhoods is a bad idea. GMA co-host George Stephanopoulos lectured, “Senator, your proposal to have police patrol Muslim neighborhoods is drawing a lot of fire from John Kasich.…

In the middle of their special hour-long broadcasts that mostly focused on the terror attacks in Belgium, both CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News took time to show President Obama and Cuban dictator Raul Castro doing the “wave” at a baseball game in Havana. NBC’s coverage was nothing short of gushing. “At the game, Obama and Castro, despite their differences, just two fans sharing a national…

The hosts of CBS This Morning on Wednesday berated Ted Cruz for his terrorism policies, suggesting he’s “playing into the hands of ISIS” with “anti-Muslim” policies. Norah O’Donnell accused the candidate of making “political points” and demanded to know how many Muslims there are in America. Gayle King lectured, “There are so many people that say that your comments are decidedly anti-Muslim.” 

The boy who cried “Wolf!” eventually had a serious credibility problem. Now, according to Talking Points Memo editor and publisher Josh Marshall, so do anti-Donald Trump conservatives as a result of the right’s frequent over-the-top allegations regarding President Obama. Marshall thinks it’s fair for conservatives (or anyone) to call Trump a “demagogue and potential strongman,” but argued in a…

Fusion’s Jorge Rivas just published an embarrassingly complimentary puff piece on Jane Sanders. Anyone reading the piece would come away thinking Ms. Sanders is a humble, compassionate and thoughtful humanitarian brimming with idea after idea on how to make the world better and more peaceful – that’s because that is exactly what Rivas wants you to think.

March Madness 2016 has begun filling up sports bars, lowering office productivity and bringing basketball and non-basketball fans together through friendly betting. The liberal news media go crazy for “the big event,” devoting huge amounts of time to the annual college basketball tournament. Yet, the far more important matter of the national debt, which topped $19 trillion in 2016, is barely…

After months and months of anti-Trump pundits parading on Telemundo’s Sunday show, something quite out of the ordinary happened on the March 20 edition of Enfoque.

One of James Taranto's recurring categories in his WSJ Best of the Web Today column is "the soft bigotry of low expectations."  We have a great candidate for it from today's Morning Joe, as, expressing the sentiment of Americans at large, Joe Scarborough asked: "why can't our president be as tough as France's president?" Ouch. From Scarborough to Mika Brzezinski to Nicolle Wallace, Rudy Giuliani…

Leftist PBS talk show host Tavis Smiley welcomed 1988 Democratic presidential candidate Michael Dukakis into his Los Angeles studio for Monday night’s show. Dukakis is hanging out as a guest professor at UCLA. Smiley wanted to bang on the GOP: “What did Republicans do or not do that made the ground so fertile in this year for a Trump type candidacy? How did this happen?” “I think it’s the…

In the wee hours of MSNBC’s live coverage of caucus and primary results in Arizona, Idaho, and Utah, co-host Rachel Maddow attempted to mount a forceful defense of the media’s obsessive attention to Donald Trump (to the detriment of the other Republican candidates) but was met with firm opposition by former Carly Fiorina deputy campaign manager Sarah Isgur Flores.
