Media Reality Check

Our new study finds that four years ago, PolitiFact offered 52 fact checks with a “Truth-O-Meter” ruling of Donald Trump in his first 100 days, while in the same period this year, PolitiFact offered just 13 fact checks of President Biden. On its website, PolitiFact splits its Biden verdicts into “Facts Checks Of Biden” and “Fact Checks About Biden.” Our review of the first 100 days shows 13…

The following is a look back (via the MRC’s archives) at how the media trashed Trump’s State of the Union speeches as “psychotically incoherent” tirades “full of lies” and even “dog poop.”

For well over a month the media joined their allies in the Democratic Party in browbeating corporate America and the public into believing that an “immoral” and “racist” Republican Party has been waging a “holy war” to bring back “Jim Crow” laws to “torture” black Americans. The following is a compilation of the ugliest depictions of the Georgia law since its passage from lefty hosts,…

For four years, the liberal media led the Left’s fierce resistance to the Trump administration, slamming the President night after night after night. Now, a new study by the Media Research Center finds the broadcast evening newscasts have executed a full flip-flop, as they aid and abet liberal President Joe Biden’s administration with mostly positive coverage.

The following are just a few of the ugliest examples (as culled from the MRC archives) of lefty hosts and reporters labelling Republican-backed voter ID laws as racist.

The hate the Hollywood Left has for the GOP was palpable this past month as they attacked conservatives for being a bunch of “lying, cheating” bullies who can only win elections by cheating.

Journalists devoted much of March attacking Republicans and conservatives as racist gun nuts who want to bring back Jim Crow laws. The following are some of the worst outbursts from liberal journalists from the last month.

In the aftermath of the tragic shooting in Boulder, the Big Three (ABC, CBS, NBC) networks filled their morning show and evening programs with statements favoring gun control over gun rights by a ratio of roughly 14 to 1.

ABC, CBS, NBC evening news anchors, reporters and producers are suppressing the Portland violence story. As they’ve devoted 0 seconds to the ongoing acts of lawlessness in the City of Roses, this year.

A Democratic Congress and a Democratic President just combined to pass a massive $1.9 trillion spending bill sold as a solution to the economic woes caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Thanks to a compliant media, they had an easy job of it: Instead of scrutinizing the bill’s spending choices, the broadcast networks built their coverage around its most popular provision as well as sympathetic…

On Tuesday, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow unabashedly conceded that after four years of a Republican president, "I'm getting cattier and pettier with each passing day." Maddow spent over five minutes of her opening monologue gushing about the Biden administration’s debt-raising, $1.9 trillion Coronavirus-relief bill. Maddow concluded her rant by describing the explicitly partisan bill as “a big F-ing…

Literally thousands of New Yorkers died in the state’s nursing homes during the early months of the coronavirus pandemic, but a new Media Research Center study shows the national media are much less interested in covering that horrifying scandal than the harassment accusations against Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo.

Journalists still have the warm and fuzzies when it comes to Joe Biden. They spent February welcoming the “refreshing” Biden White House by tossing softballs to him in interviews and penning adoring essays about the new president “playing MarioKart with his family.” In stark contrast, the likes of CNN anchor Don Lemon crushed conservatives as being “horrible” since Reagan. The following are…

The scandal surrounding New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s mishandling of nursing home patients during the early weeks of the coronavirus pandemic was never a secret. Yet in their zeal last year to promote Cuomo as a counter to President Trump, broadcast news, cable news, daytime talk shows and late night comics all preferred to tout Cuomo as a pandemic hero, instead of telling the truth about…
