Column: Attack of the 'Fact Checking' Clones
February 8th, 2020 7:08 AM
Under President Trump, the State of the Union address has become the Super Bowl for the left-leaning “fact checkers.” It doesn’t matter if Republicans and independents enjoyed it immensely. Like Nancy Pelosi, these journalists want to rip his speech to pieces because it somehow overflows with “untruths.” But these supposedly “independent” guardians are failures at fact-checking the Democratic…
[UPDATE] AP Blames U.S. and Trump for Iran Shooting Down Civilian Jet
January 9th, 2020 10:55 PM
In a Thursday night article titled “An Iranian general dies in a U.S. attack, and Canada suffers,” the Associated Press made it abundantly clear who they blamed for the deaths of 176 people in the skies over Tehran. (Hint, it wasn’t the country that shot two surface-to-air missiles at a passenger jet.)
CRAY CRAY: AP Gets Weak Knees for Ayatollah’s ‘Tears’ at Funeral
January 6th, 2020 2:52 PM
Continuing the liberal media’s disturbing infatuation with the murderous Iranian regime, the Associated Press published an embarrassing 831-word puff piece Monday morning about “the typically reserved and measured” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s “rare display of emotion” in which his “voice cracked under the weight of the moment” at Qasem Soleimani’s funeral.
Media Hype Harsh UN Migrant-Kids Study, Delete Since Data's from 2015
November 20th, 2019 3:46 PM
This would be funny, if it wasn’t just so sad. Several media outlets had their credibility put to the test this week (and shocker, failed miserably) after a report from the United Nations out Monday left out a pretty significant detail. The report appeared to condemn President Trump over the border policy, calling the U.S. out for holding “100,000”, or “⅓ of the children globally held in migrant…

AP's Pace: 'Confusing' Why Hunter Biden Was on Ukraine Company Board
October 15th, 2019 3:03 PM
On Monday’s edition of the noontime Inside Politics program on CNN, AP Washington Bureau Chief Julie Pace used an odd word to describe Hunter Biden's exploitation of his father's last name to make money in foreign countries like Ukraine and China. She called it “confusing.”

Most 'Fact Checkers' Act Shifty with Schiff's Lying About Ukraine-Gate
October 3rd, 2019 9:03 AM
Congressman Adam Schiff was caught in a lie by The New York Times on Wednesday, although they didn’t make that point. The newspaper reported the whistleblower contacted Schiff’s committee and discussed his complaint in vague terms, and those terms were passed along to Schiff. He told MSNBC "we have not spoken directly with the whistleblower." Will the "fact checkers" notice? Most of them…
Major Media Spike New Low in Black Unemployment Under 'Racist' Trump
September 8th, 2019 10:29 AM
Continued good news on unemployment bored the networks on Friday night. As usual, they didn't note the apparent irony that they consider President Trump to be "racist" (or at least issue "racist tweets"), and yet the Labor Department reported black unemployment hit 5.5 percent, well below the previous all-time low of 5.9 percent (and it was never below 7.0 percent pre-Trump). The jobless rate for…

NBC Joins CBS, Omits Inconvenient Tidbit on Climate Change Teen’s Ship
August 29th, 2019 12:25 AM
Wednesday’s CBS This Morning gave another glowing segment to Swede and climate change teen Greta Thunberg, but as my colleague Scott Whitlock noted, they failed to include an embarrassing tidbit that, while the teen sailed on a zero emissions-boat across the Atlantic to New York for a United Nations conference, two individuals are being flown across the Atlantic to retrieve the boat.

Scarborough Tweeted Epstein Theory, Now Condemns Trump for Same
August 12th, 2019 11:40 AM
This could be the biggest display of chutzpah since the guy convicted of offing his parents pleaded for mercy on the basis of being an orphan. MSNBC's Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough had the gall Monday morning to condemn President Trump over an Epstein conspiracy theory, despite having floated a bizarre one himself. Shortly after the news of Epstein's death became public on Saturday morning…
Engineer: Google News Top 20 Results Are All Left-Wing
July 26th, 2019 12:43 PM
Even those who work at Google have noticed the search engine’s unfair tilt towards liberal news outlets. Google engineer Greg Coppola, who was suspended by his company for speaking to Project Veritas, published a July 25 post on Medium analyzing Google News. Coppola re-enacted a project done by PJ Media’s Paula Boylard in order to demonstrate Google’s liberal manipulation of its algorithms
Press Pollutes History in Child Migrant Coverage at 'Internment Camp'
June 14th, 2019 10:22 AM
The press rose as one in outrage Wednesday upon learning that Fort Sill, an Army base in Oklahoma, which is being used as a temporary shelter for migrant children, had been used as a Japanese internment camp during World War II. One fact buried and downplayed: Fort Sill was also used to hold migrant children as recently in 2014, under the administration of one Barack Obama. But at the time, it…
Spike Lee to Hollywood: ‘Shut It Down’ in Georgia Over Abortion Law
June 7th, 2019 4:05 PM
On Thursday, Oscar-winning director Spike Lee demanded that workers in the entertainment industry move out of Georgia because of its new abortion law. While others in Hollywood are content to see if that legislation takes effect next year or is blocked in the courts, Lee dismissed concerns that a boycott could dramatically reduce the $9.5 billion annual boost the state economy receives from that…
AP 'Fact Check': Trump 'Maliciously False' on After-Birth Abortions
May 14th, 2019 1:34 PM
The "fact checkers" at Associated Press were the latest to fulminate against President Trump mocking Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam about executing babies born alive after an abortion attempt. The tweet was mockable: "The reality behind President Trump's false accusation that abortion doctors execute babies." Apparently, abortion doctors just kill....germs? Cellular clumps?
Holy 90s! Fugees Rapper Charged in Foreign Donations Scandal
May 12th, 2019 8:12 PM
Allegations of foreign meddling in our elections and obstruction of justice are not always recognized as Huge News -- especially when it's about Asian donors meddling on behalf of Barack Obama in 2012. AP reports that Pras Michel -- a founding member of the 1990s hip hop group the Fugees -- has been charged in a campaign finance conspiracy with fugitive Malaysian financier Low Taek Jho.
