Media Reality Check

As the crisis in Ukraine escalates, threatening Europe and the world, journalists and media outlets have rightly and consistently highlighted the cruel aggression of former KGB agent Vladimir Putin. However, the same outlets that now showcase the horror of an attempted restoration of the Soviet Union gushed about its glory days as the USSR collapsed

According to the likes of NBC’s Chuck Todd and Yamiche Alcindor, President Joe Biden “missed” an “easy” opportunity in his State of the Union Address to connect “the fight for democracy and freedom abroad” in Europe. Their colleague, MSNBC host Tiffany Cross blurted: “I look at what’s happening in Ukraine, and I see….democracy can be a fragile thing, and it feels a bit fragile in America right…

According to CBS and NBC, here’s what matters: Ron DeSantis “scolding” teens for wearing masks. What doesn’t matter? Issues like the many Hunter Biden scandals, the crisis at the border and critical race theory being taught in schools. 

Joe Biden, the Democratic Party and the left’s radical support for abortion grows more extreme every day. That fact was made very clear this week, though you wouldn’t have known it if you got all your news from the networks. 

If tonight’s speech is a dud, expect the liberal journos to spend most of their time attacking the GOP response and Republicans in general, like they did when they disgustingly attacked Republican Senator Tim Scott in 2021.

Joe Biden on February 25 nominated Ketanji Brown Jackson to fill the vacancy of Justice Stephen Breyer. When it comes to ideological labels for Supreme Court nominees, the networks have one rule: Republican nominees are “staunch,” worrisome conservatives. Democratic picks are rarely labeled as extreme liberals.

Whomever President Joe Biden selects to fill the vacancy left by the retirement of Justice Stephen Breyer expect the liberal media to ACTUALLY worry the selection isn’t progressive enough. The following examples of liberal journalists worrying about Supreme Court nominees not being left enough are from the Media Research Center’s archive.

Ten years ago this fall, then-President Barack Obama ridiculed Mitt Romney’s assessment that Russia is “our number one geopolitical foe.” On October 22, 2012, Obama dismissed the then-Republican presidential nominee with this mockery: “The 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back, because the Cold War's been over for 20 years.” In the years since, outlets such as CNN have…

The spiraling crisis on America’s southern border is spreading, rippling to all parts of the country with impacts on crime and national security. But you wouldn’t know that if you watched the networks in January. The total on the ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts dropped to a shocking ZERO for the month. 

Will we see members of the leftist media that most vociferously PUSHED the Russia collusion hoax, attack the Clinton camp with the same volume? Don’t bet on it. The following is a look at some of the most over-the-top instances of liberal journos attempting to bring down former President Trump with disproven claims of an election collusion with Russian President Vladimir Putin. 

NBC News President Noah Oppenheim, on January 19, spat out the laughable line that his news network is “ferociously defending the idea that it’s possible to....be objective and nonpartisan.” Well his employees didn’t get the memo. Here is just some of the worst bias from NBC/MSNBC hosts and pundits since the NBC News president made that ludicrous statement. 

With Joe Biden’s popularity cratering, the White House finally announced on Tuesday that the President will submit to a pre-Super Bowl interview, talking to Nightly News anchor Lester Holt. The confirmation came late, just five days before the world-wide event. 

In January, the networks went silent on Critical Race Theory. It was not mentioned on any of the network morning or evening shows. But if you think the threat of CRT is gone, you are sadly mistaken. For much of last year, especially as Virginia prepared for a governor’s election with CRT being a focal point, ABC, CBS and NBC repeatedly told us that it was “not taught in schools.” 

After NBC News’s morning and evening shows spent only 12 minutes, 22 seconds (in a year) on China’s horrific genocide of the Uyghurs, NBC actually managed to equal that coverage of the Uyghurs in just one night and morning of their Beijing Olympics coverage. However, there were other moments in the coverage that sounded like they were cribbed from a Chi-Com’s propaganda booklet.
