No one should be surprised that President Joe Biden lied when he said he would not pardon his corrupt son Hunter before wandering out of office. As much as journalists want to pretend this is just a Dear Old Dad rescue scenario, Hunter Biden enriched most of the Biden clan in his foreign influence-peddling projects, including Joe and Jill.

Democratic attorneys waged legal war on former President Donald Trump on every level of government: federal, state, county and city. Now that he's been reelected, all that legal wrangling is going to be curtailed. Biden-appointed special counsel Jack Smith had to fold his tent, and on Nov. 25, the networks offered live "breaking news" that just ...Read more

ATTENTION! There Is Language In The Fourth Paragraph That Readers May Find Offensive. Thank You For Your Attention.

There's something about Donald Trump winning an election that drives journalists crazy. The National Press Club in the nation's capital is an epicenter of media arrogance, as anyone could see from its Nov. 21 "Fourth ...Read more

The 2024 election results certainly came as a surprise to the national media. They spent the last few weeks of the campaign wildly speculating about how Donald Trump wouldn't accept the results and it would be complete chaos. Instead, Trump won the popular vote, and they all had to follow their own norms and accept the results in an orderly ...Read more

Last month, ABC anchor Martha Raddatz was mocked by J.D. Vance when she tried to minimize the threat of gangs in Colorado taking over apartment buildings by force. "The incidents were limited to a handful of apartment complexes," she said. It's too bad for you if you lived in one of those buildings.

"Do you hear yourself?" Vance asked.

That's ...Read more

After the decisive Republican victory on Election Day, one question bouncing around in conservative circles was: Will this lead the liberal media to change their ways? Will they reflect on how they are not in any way the "mainstream" media?

It's unlikely. They believe all their own bravado about being on the front lines against incoming "...Read more

Nothing underlines the partisan nature of PBS right now than The Atlantic magazine being allowed to take over the long-running "Washington Week" program in August of 2023. This was not a hostile takeover but a deeper branding of what PBS is -- taxpayer-funded mangle-MAGA TV.

Four years ago, The Atlantic tried to take Donald Trump down with ...Read more

There was one supervillain in the story of the 2024 campaign that almost surpassed Donald Trump -- Elon Musk.

From the minute he bought Twitter in 2022, the leftists who aspire to complete messaging control were furious. They knew their 2020 jig was up, that they couldn't just suppress damaging stories like the Hunter Biden laptop. Reporters ...Read more

The 2024 presidential campaign is ending pretty much where it began: loathing the never-ending presence of Donald Trump. On the day before the election, The New York Times front page displayed a gaudy editorial (badly disguised as "News Analysis") under the title "Torrent of Lies Redefines Political Norms."

Doesn't that sound like a hard-...Read more

The Left has a tendency to grade the media's performance based on results. It doesn't matter if you favor the Democrats aggressively if they don't win -- or if the polls seem tied.

Recently, Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson was celebrated on "Morning Joe" for writing a column that complained the media was rougher on Vice President ...Read more

It's deliriously funny that The Washington Post jumped into a cauldron of boiling angst by refusing to endorse Kamala Harris for president. The decision is deeply weird. It's like McDonald's declining to advocate for hamburgers.

We all know The Washington Post has a staff full of Democrats writing for an audience that's mostly Democrats (and ...Read more

The ideal of a town hall meeting where citizens can spontaneously ask politicians the questions they would like answered doesn't match what the town hall is in today's politics. There's too much risk for politicians, or the TV networks who platform the event.

A humorous example came on Oct. 21 at a so-called town hall with Vice President Kamala...Read more

On Oct. 20, the "60 Minutes" squad put out a statement dismissing Donald Trump's accusations of manipulative editing in their Kamala Harris interview as "false." But they offered no evidence in support of their claims.

Everyone can see the divergence between the Harris word salad that appeared in a promo on "Face the Nation" and the shorter, ...Read more

It shouldn't be considered incredibly brave for Vice President Kamala Harris to consent to an interview with Bret Baier on Fox News. J.D. Vance has been doing hostile Sunday shows for months while Harris resorted to the basement strategy.

Then, once Team Kamala booked a "media blitz," they bizarrely went on offense. Mediaite posted this ...Read more

Liberal journalists love to paint the Republicans as opposed to facts -- which implies that liberal journalists own the facts and determine who is actually using them properly.

The Washington Post put this aggressive headline on the front of the Oct. 15 edition: "Campaign takes stand against fact checks: In live settings, Trump aims to let his ...Read more

Bob Woodward is the most overpraised journalist in modern American history. He's an "icon" because he took out Richard Nixon. Every book should be titled "Democrats Pounce" because that's how these books succeed.

Back in October 2006, when Woodward's Bush-bashing book "State of Denial" came out, NBC's Tim Russert proclaimed: "Mr. Woodward will ...Read more

For more than two months, Republicans have mocked Kamala Harris for hiding in the basement and not granting interviews and press conferences, which could give people an idea of how she might handle the presidency. So after she and Tim Walz have engaged in debates, Team Harris decided to book her on a series of softball interviews.

Start with ...Read more

It's late in the campaign, so the network "news" programs often seem indistinguishable from the cascade of negative campaign ads that air around the harrumphing anchormen and anchorwomen.

Rich Noyes at NewsBusters reported that the tone of coverage about the Trump-Vance ticket (excluding statements by politicians) from July 21 to Sept. 27 was ...Read more

The Democrats were distraught when Rachel Maddow negotiated with her Comcast paymasters to only do her show one night a week. What would the Left do with their Maddow magic cut by 80%?

For media critics, Maddow has been tougher to analyze as a cable "news" host. She goes on long pseudo-intellectual benders of historical analysis and then tries ...Read more

The Left used to pressure reporters trying to be objective by insulting them as "stenographers to power." You can't just repeat what the powerful say, they argued. You have to expose them. Well, some of them.

We remember all the lectures during the Trump presidency that all their anti-Trump aggression was just "holding him accountable." Holding...Read more
