Long before “Republicans Pounce!” they had “wedge issues.” They used them to divide people and, according to an AP report, they still do. Today’s GOP wedge issue of choice is transgenderism – you know, the mental health problem that’s sweeping the nation? Conservatives and Republicans (and lots of other normal folks) are bewildered and revulsed by the trans craze, and so it’s coming up in GOP…

Addressing the world some 15 hours after Russian began a full invasion of Ukraine, President Biden faced a White House press corps on Thursday afternoon that, after he ducked their questions on Tuesday, chose to do its job and call out the likelihood the latest round of economic sanctions would do all but nothing to deter Putin, the likely economic pain Americans will feel, and what has he…

Ahead of a likely Russian invasion of Ukraine, State Department spokesman Ned Price and White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki spent Wednesday afternoon under fire from establishment media reporters and, of course, Fox’s Peter Doocy over the administration’s flip-flop on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, the failure to deter Russian President Vladimir Putin, and the impact the war could have on the U…

Even the liberal Associated Press observed that NBC’s multi-billion dollar Olympics bet on pro-communist China just went up in flames. The Associated Press (AP) called the Olympics a “disaster” for NBC, especially after it secured a $7.75 billion deal for exclusive rights to cover the Games through 2032.

There’s a second wave of media reaction to John Durham’s latest filing on the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation. The first wave was silence, hoping somehow the whole story would vanish. Now the second wave is “Explainers,” which attempt to hem and haw defensively through the whole business.

The Associated Press recently celebrated an $8 million cash infusion from left-wing mega-donors to fund a small army of eco-journalists. The Associated Press (AP) declared on Feb. 15 that “it is assigning more than two dozen journalists across the world to cover climate issues.” The announcement of the $8 million in funding marked the “largest single expansion paid for…

On Tuesday, Hot Air Senior Editor Ed Morrissey reported on the Associated Press concluding that the only thing disgraced CNN chief executive Jeff Zucker did wrong was to keep his affair with a subordinate a secret. As Morrissey observed: “Huh. And here I thought the lesson would be to not conspire with your paramour to turn your media outlet into a propaganda outlet for a leading politician…

Sparks flew during a Thursday press briefing at the State Department where Associated Press diplomatic writer Matt Lee verbally duked it out with spokesperson Ned Price over accusations the U.S. was making, suggesting Russia was planning “false flag” operations in Ukraine; complete with propaganda videos and detailing specific scenes.

Wednesday marked what had to have been one of the more stressful days at the White House as President Biden spent nearly two hours before reporters, calling on 24 of them and fielding over 60 questions on a robust set of issues (aside from crime and illegal immigration). We've already covered the questions from Fox’s Peter Doocy, the New York Post’s Steven Nelson, Newsmax’s James…

AP should stand for Associated Publicists when they write on Democrat first ladies. Reporter Darlene Superville penned a valentine on Monday headlined "Jill Biden: I didn’t expect ‘healing role’ as first lady." This sounds remarkably naive for someone who spent eight years as the Second Lady. At least there was no "Doctor" thrown in, maybe because the "healing" might sound too literal. 

Longtime journalist James Rosen made his White House briefing debut on Thursday as White House correspondent for Newsmax, so it was no surprise he got right to work grilling National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan on foreign policy and Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Biden being responsible for inflation and vaccinations. Not to be left out, Fox’s Peter Doocy appeared on Friday’s Psaki Show…

On Wednesday, Hot Air Senior Editor Allahpundit reported on the Associated Press instructing its editors to downplay case counts in COVID stories and observed: “If this is their way of trying to hide the bad COVID news from the public in order to help Democrats, they’re waaaaaay too late.” The news service explained: “The Associated Press has recently told its editors and reporters to avoid…

You know President Biden is a disaster when even ABC chief Washington correspondent Jon Karl goes on television to criticize you. On Sunday's This Week, during the "Powerhouse Roundtable", Karl leveled the kind of harsh criticism at Biden that you would only see against Republicans. 

Joel Pollak at Breitbart reported Sunday that Chief Justice John Roberts of the U.S. Supreme Court blasted attempts to exert “inappropriate political influence” in his year-end report for 2021, as President Biden and the Democrats have pondered proposals to expand or pack the Court with liberals. Roberts did not explicitly mention the court-packing talk, and the liberal media ignored it. That'…
