Kerfuffle Over the Washington Post Non-Endorsement is Hilarious!
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
CNN is Defined by Hating Trump!
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
'60 Minutes' Has Tortured Republicans for Decades!
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
Fox's Bret Baier Pressed Harris, And the Powder-Puff Press Hated It!
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
The Washington Post Claims Republicans Are Waging War on Fact-Checkers!
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
What If Bob Woodward Wrote a Book on Doug Emhoff?
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
Kamala's Parade of (Mostly) Pablum Interviews!
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
Network 'News Judgment' Depends on Who Benefits!
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
Rachel Maddow Hurls Nasty Invectives at Vance as a Fascist Speech-Squasher!
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
When Reporters Are Just Explainers, Not Investigators
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
Being President Is Not Similar to Playing 'Top Chef'
In their relentless effort to make their candidate seem warm and relatable, the Kamala Harris partisans have touted her assorted cooking videos on YouTube. But that spin can be taken too far.
Indian American TV host Padma Lakshmi penned an op-ed for The New York Times titled "As a Cook, Here's What I See in Kamala Harris." The Times Opinion ...Read more
Kamala Harris Had Minority Journalists at 'Hello'
The easiest thing in the world to predict is that Vice President Kamala Harris is going to be coddled by minority journalists. If you speak the mantra "diversity, equity, inclusion" -- and let's add "history" -- you're rooting for a Harris victory.
So when Harris finally consented to a sit-down with three liberals at a Philadelphia NPR station ...Read more
PolitiFact is Rigged! It Gives 200 'Pants on Fire' Tags to Trump and Zero to Harris!
Kamala Harris consented to a puffball panel discussion with the National Association of Black Journalists on Sept. 17, and it was announced that PolitiFact would engage in live "fact-checking." Their Twitter feed then displayed 14 checks on Kamala's answers. The first one was labeled "False," and all the rest of them were "True," "Accurate," or ...Read more
'Fact-Checking' Is Often Spin-Spoiling, Especially on Abortion!
The debate debacle hosted by ABC underscored why the conservative half of America is hostile to "fact-checkers." Object to them, and the left decrees it's because you're hostile to facts. But what conservatives actually oppose is leftist argumentation that's poorly disguised as nonpartisan and devoid of opinion.
"Fact-checking" is often an ...Read more
The Media Can't Find a Left-Wing Label for Kamala Harris!
Even battle-hardened conservatives can find it shocking when Democrat-boosting reporters fail to identify Kamala Harris as a "liberal" or a "progressive" or even, dare one say it, a "left-wing radical."
In a new Media Research Center study of ABC's "World News Tonight," since Harris was anointed in a back room as Biden's replacement on July 21,...Read more
Jake Tapper and Jeffrey Goldberg, Good Buddies Who Hate Trump!
News consumers are often unaware of just how friendly the power players in Washington are, and those relationships are often undisclosed. You can tell that Trump haters have a common cause, but it can go much deeper than that.
On CNN's "The Lead with Jake Tapper" on Sept. 3, the host brought on Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg to ...Read more
Media Bias Makes It Easier To Run a 'Flawless' Campaign
There is never a level playing field in an American election. For example, the two major political parties have major advantages that third parties can't muster. Another example is the major Democratic Party advantage of the home-team announcers calling the action on the playing field. Our national media set the terms and the tone of our ...Read more
NPR Exploits Arlington Cemetery for Politics!
Taxpayer-subsidized National Public Radio shouldn't be a starting place for aggressively biased coverage against either Democrats or Republicans. But you can ask Clarence Thomas how the machine works.
On Aug. 27, NPR veterans affairs reporter Quil Lawrence lit into former President Donald Trump for bringing cameras to a section of Arlington ...Read more
Confusion is a Solution! They're Not Hiding Their Advocacy At All!
The "mainstream" media messaging machine spent the whole Democratic convention channeling the notion of "reintroducing" Kamala Harris to America, relying on the assumption that vice presidents are only seen and not heard.
For all the journalists who suddenly want to channel the same aspirational biracial narrative that marked Barack Obama's ...Read more
'Joy' Time Is Over. Time For News on Substance!
It's blatantly obvious that since Donald Trump was almost assassinated and Joe Biden was successfully forced out of the race, the Democratic tone-setters decided to downplay their incessant Threat to Democracy talk and switch to Joyful Warriors buzz. The volume of that theme was turned up dramatically for the Democratic convention in Chicago.
"...Read more
