VIDEO: Media's Biden Fans Embarrass Themselves as Afghanistan Crumbles
The Taliban's rapid rise to power after President Biden's poorly-planned withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan is a humanitarian disaster for the people of that country, especially women and children; a potential death sentence for the thousands of Afghans who helped U.S. forces during the past 20 years; a strategic debacle for the U.S.; and a moment of sick celebration for radical…
The Beat Goes on: Doocy, WH Press Keep Crushing Psaki Over Afghanistan
After almost an entire week away on vacation (aside from an August 23 briefing), The Psaki Show hasn’t exactly gone swimmingly for the Biden administration and, like Monday and Tuesday, Wednesday was no exception as Press Secretary Jen Psaki had little in the way of friendly reporter questions as Fox’s Peter Doocy had the cavalry on his side in pressing on issues surrounding the collapse of…
Sciutto Falsely Slams Supreme Court Conservatives for Border Hypocrisy
On Tuesday, the Supreme Court declined to issue a stay of a lower court ruling that the Biden administration's decision to repeal former President Trump's Remain in Mexico was "arbitrary and capricious" and thus illegal.

CNN Horrified by Tight California Recall Race: 'Doom' for Democrats!
CNN’s John Avlon was sounding the alarm for nervous Democrats, on Tuesday’s New Day, over the possibility of California having a Republican governor very soon.

STUDY: Actual News Is Hard to Find on Today’s Cable ‘News’
Less than one-fourth (22.3%) of what is aired on cable news could be classified as old-fashioned hard news — just-the-facts reporting or live as-it-happens coverage of an unfolding event. Instead, nearly 80 percent of what’s on cable news these days consists of talk-show discussion and opinionated commentary by the anchors.
BEATDOWN: Doocy, Wegmann Shellack Biden WH on Afghanistan Failures

Brian Stelter & Gang Claim Biden's Coverage Is 'Over the Top' Negative
Is there anything funnier than CNN complaining about "over the top" negative coverage?

We Dug Up Decades-Old Video CNN Wants You to Forget: Clinton Is Elvis
CNN gushing over a Democratic president didn’t start with Joe Biden or even Barack Obama. You have to go back all the way to Bill Clinton to see the birth of the cable channel’s love affair with liberal presidents. It was 20 years ago this week that CNN produced a syrupy, vomit-inducing valentine to Bill Clinton comparing him to, yes, Elvis Presley. Then-senior political analyst Bill Schneider…
AP's Pro-CNN 'Fact Check' on Conservatives Ruined by Taliban Behavior
On Tuesday, "AP Fact Check" leaped to the defense of CNN reporter Clarissa Ward when Washington Times columnist Tim Young mocked her on Twitter for saying the Taliban seemed friendly.

CNN's Kyung Lah Hits 'Inflammatory' Larry Elder in California Recall
