AP Does Its Best to Ignore Data Showing GOP Lead in Arizona

November 7th, 2018 3:56 PM
SHOW ME THE NUMBERS!!! A reader of Wednesday's Associated Press story by Nicolas Riccardi about the tight U.S. Senate race in Arizona between Martha McSally and Kyrsten Sinema could be forgiven for channeling his inner Jerry Maguire. Why? Because in a long story filed at 6:04 A.M. (with later update) about that race, there were no numbers provided.

Flashback: In 2010, Media Resisted End to One-Party Democratic Rule

November 4th, 2018 8:10 AM
This year, with Republicans in control of the White House, House and Senate, journalists are actively electioneering on behalf of Democrats, as a way to put a check on the power of President Trump. But eight years ago, when Democrats held both the House and Senate going into President Obama’s first midterm elections, the media were distressed that liberal power might be diluted, and upset that…

News or Editorial? AP Claims Trump 'Fearmongering Over Immigration'

October 31st, 2018 10:59 AM
When does the Associated Press consider an opinion piece on immigration to be straight news?

EYE ROLL: WH Journalists Battle Sanders, Blaming Trump for Violence

October 29th, 2018 4:22 PM
The White House held a rare press briefing on Monday and so many in the liberal media used the occasion to falsely assert to Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders that they’re not blaming the President and/or his supporters for the mail bomber or the Pittsburgh synagogue shooter when they’ve been doing just that. Monday’s briefing featured many of the familiar faces who readers and viewers have…

September 27th, 2018 5:17 PM
Even before accuser Christine Blasey Ford finished testifying on Thursday in Washington, D.C., about sexual assault charges against Judge Brett Kavanaugh, a reporter with the Associated Press found a way to kill the time while waiting for something significant to happen.

AP: ‘Lone’ Archbishop Accused the Pope

Culture
September 8th, 2018 6:43 PM
Remember when liberals in the media disdained everything about the Catholic Church? Simpler times. Then Pope Francis came along and muddied things. He talks about climate change, castigates capitalism and plays verbal footsie with lefty Catholic hobby-horse issues like divorce and gay acceptance. This Francis guy, they think, might be one of us.

Culture
September 6th, 2018 3:57 PM
According to many in the media, Kavanaugh typed in a 15-year-old e-mail that American abortion law wasn’t “settled law.” They’re wrong. On Sept. 6, The New York Times published a 2003 e-mail that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sent during his time at the George W. Bush White House. Kavanaugh wrote he wasn’t certain “all legal scholars refer to Roe as the settled law of the land.” But many…

AP, NY Times Target Whistleblower Bishop, 'Ultra-Conservative' Allies

August 28th, 2018 10:29 PM

Priorities: Briefing Featured Nearly 4x Omarosa Q's as Everything Else

August 14th, 2018 10:38 PM
As part of the liberal media’s obsession with Omarosa’s salacious allegations against the President from her book tour, Tuesday’s White House Press Briefing featured nearly four times as many questions about Omarosa-related topics as all other matters. Specifically, the breakdown was 39 Omarosa questions by 11 reporters to 10 questions for everything else from seven journalists (Afghanistan,…

CNN: ‘Trump Seizes on What He Calls ‘Terrorist Attack’ in London’

August 14th, 2018 7:08 PM
CNN’s Twitter account used an old liberal standby, “seize,” to denigrate Trump’s (factual) statement about the Tuesday morning terror attack in London: "President Donald Trump seizes on what he calls a 'terrorist attack' in London, even though the incident is still in the early stages of investigation." CNN's tweet linked to Jennfier Hansler’s equally silly story. Never mind that both the…

Why'd AP Think Hall of Fame Speeches Were 'Political,' Not 'Godtalk'?

August 9th, 2018 6:51 PM
Terry Mattingly at Get Religion was a little stunned at coverage of the latest additions to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, at how they seemed allergic to any mention of religious content -- and there was a lot of religious content. 

Media Blame Climate Change for California Fires, Ignore Other Factors

Business
August 8th, 2018 2:29 PM
California is burning. Multiple wildfires are claiming lives and property and the smoke is so bad, even Yosemite had to be evacuated. News outlets should be reporting all the factors that contributed to the terrible fires and not exploit tragedy to score political points. Instead, the liberal media have been latching onto the fires as evidence of the threat of climate change and bashing the Trump…
