A Warning to Not Hype Layoffs in News and a Call to Back Local Press
Bad news for the media often feels like good news for conservatives. So word that Vice and BuzzFeed are laying off hundreds of journalists, weeks after the complete collapse of The Messenger, won’t elicit much sympathy from the right. Then again, it’s not just conservatives who disapprove of the news business today: Gallup last year found a paltry 32% of Americans say they have “a great deal”…
Networks Silent On AMLO Demand For Biden Apology Over ProPublica Story
This wild story out of Mexico, wherein President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) is demanding that President Joe Biden apologize over a report published by ProPublica, would draw significant coverage under normal circumstances.

Time to Embarrass the Lefty Media for Backing Hamas on Hospital Strike
Unsurprisingly the liberal media rushed Tuesday to accept the claims of the Palestinian Health Ministry that Israel had fired a missile at a Gaza hospital that Palestinians insisted had killed hundreds. Of course, that wasn’t true as Israeli and U.S. intelligence and amateur video showed it was a misfired Islamic Jihad or Hamas rocket. The cast of characters read like a who’s who in the…
UPDATE: LA Times Reporter Falesly Claims Hamas Never Beheaded Babies
On Tuesday, a disturbing trend of misinformation spread around social media asserting that the Hamas terrorists – the same ones who killed women, children, and the elderly, raped women, and abducted those same groups back to Gaza – for some reason wouldn’t behead babies and that any report of such acts were lies. This was the disgusting assertion pushed by LA Times investigative…
How Often Did Media Promote Pundits From Iran's 'Expert Initiative'?
Jay Solomon over at Semafor is out with a piece that details how the Iranian Foreign Ministry worked closely with a bunch of American and European academics to help sell the Iran nuclear deal back in 2014 by repeating Tehran’s lines.

They don’t want to go back" business reporter Samantha Masunaga (who also predictably has pronouns in her Twitter bio) tries to make the case that remote work helps employees…
Column: Republican Racism 'Weaponized' Kamala Harris?
One of the most annoying ploys of liberal journalists is to advise Republicans that the truly wise path in politics is to surrender to liberals on everything, and the dumbest path is to oppose them emphatically.
Snopes: Anti-Catholic Hate Group Not a Hate Group Because SPLC Says So
On June 9, the intrepid fact-checkers at Snopes decided that the anti-Catholic Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence is not a hate group. Why? Because they themselves say so and the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center does not list them as such.
NewsBusters Podcast: Democrats Get an F for Feinstein and Fetterman
An easy way to discover how the media favor Democrats is from the treatment of embarrassing gaffes by Senators Feinstein and Fetterman. The same media outlets that constantly questioned Donald Trump's mental fitness are acting very gentle and protective around their favorite partisans.
NewsBusters Podcast: The Press Has N0 Self-Respect, As Cue Card Shows
A photograph showing that President Biden was holding a cue card with the first question at his brief press conference on Wednesday shows that press events are rigged. If the press had any self-respect, they wouldn't be sharing questions and they would show more anger and demand more access about being shut out by "historically coy" Joe Biden.
