But the critics are liberals, and among them, it only had a 26 percent score. Critics were much fonder of the Obama biopic Southside With You in 2016, with a 91 percent positive score.

After energetic talk over the weekend that no one should blame President Biden or the Democrats (or the media) for inspiring violence against President Trump and his supporters, we need to remind you of the aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing of 1995, where the liberal media decided to accuse conservative talk radio for the explosion.

When the elected Democrat D.A. of Manhattan and his 12 (likely Democrat) Manhattan jurors convicted Donald Trump on artificially inflated felony counts of business accounting, you could count on leftist journalists to try to make it the Most Historic Event Ever. We’re not even sure it won’t all be reversed on appeal!

A Sunday New York Times story by Berlin-based reporter Christopher Schuetze was the latest example of the paper’s repellent habit of condoning certain aspects of Communist tyrannies in Russia and Eastern Europe. for the authoritarian Communist past, “‘Not Everything Was Bad’: Saluting the Mercedes of Eastern Europe and a Communist Past.” Schuetze visited a May Day event in the former…

The hopeless wokeness of tax-funded National Public Radio has been confirmed by NPR senior business editor Uri Berliner, who started shockwaves with his Free Press essay “I’ve Been at NPR for 25 Years. Here’s How We Lost America’s Trust” providing chapter and verse of how NPR had become fully in the hands of the left. One example of anti-American wokeness is the “editor’s note” NPR staff felt…

At the time, journalists sneered that the trial of was a pointless waste of the Senate’s valuable time, while viewers heard it was an attempted “coup,” something “Stalinist” that evoked memories of Nazi Germany. Republicans were like KKK “night riders,” motivated by racism in their vendetta against a…

Sixteen years ago, so-called reporters giddily celebrated the confluence of the ultra-liberal Kennedy family (a.k.a., “Camelot”) and the hard-left Obama campaign.

Since 2008, the NewsBusters archives shows the intensive political coverage surrounding the New Hampshire primary has been a chance for journalists to take gratuitous potshots at conservative candidates, while liberals (often referred to as “moderates”) are treated to rock-star treatment.

Taxpayer-funded PBS once again pushed a fringe issue into the forefront of the news. This time it was a purely symbolic one. Saturday’s PBS News Weekend, devoted a full five minutes to Minnesota’s move to replace its state flag, staggeringly described by PBS as “what one critic called a cluttered, genocidal mess,” with a less offensive design. Well, that escalated…

The New York Times panned Nikki Haley's answer on what caused the Civil War: ‘Notably missing from her answer was slavery, which most mainstream historians agree was at the root of the United States’ bloodiest conflict — specifically the economics and political control behind slavery." They skipped that the Democratic Party was the "political control behind slavery," with six…

It was 32 years ago — on Christmas Day, December 25, 1991 — that the world rejoiced at the final dissolution of the Soviet Union. But some in the media refused to blame the communist system for its failures, even as they treated Gorbachev, the last communist, better than his Western counterparts and his anti-communist successors.

In a year-ending hour-long PBS election special America at a Crossroads, former NewsHour anchor Judy Woodruff uncorked a  history of "mean" political debate and violence all conveniently came from the right, with leftism identified as going forward and MAGA going backward, bookended with bits of Woodruff labeling bias, from 1984 to 2023.
