The news cycle is slower between the holidays, but there's still something ridiculous. On MSNBC, Chris Matthews compared "rural rage" at the liberal elites to....terrorist groups in Afghanistan and Iraq who hate the U.S. military.

As 2023 winds down, it's time to review the best (or the worst) of "The View." Nick Fondacaro discusses how Ana Navarro and Alyssa Farah Griffin are alleged to represent a Republican viewpoint, but most of the time, they are just as liberal as the others, and demand the Republicans surrender on social issues like abortion.

A think tank called the "Global Disinformation Index" compiled a "dynamic exclusion list" to help advertisers avert "risky" right-wing websites engaging in "misinformation." The list included the New York Post, The Blaze, the Daily Wire, and The Federalist. The censors' list of "reliable" sites included HuffPost and BuzzFeed, which printed the "Steele Dossier," a complete garbage barge of…

The networks and major papers avoided all talk of a Democrat Senate aide getting fired over making a gay porn video in a Senate hearing room. NBC included a "trans woman" in a focus group saying Republicans would execute him, and Nikki Haley told ABC's Jonathan Karl that the media's obsession over every Trump tidbit is "exhausting."

They describe themselves as "independent fact-checkers," but they're not. They sound like liberal columnists, which is why conservatives and Republicans disdain their partisan rulings. Ted Cruz and Elizabeth Warren have been "fact checked" very, very differently in the last decade. Alex Christy discusses the chapter he wrote with Brent Baker in the new book A Future for the News.

The Daily Wire host Matt Walsh declared that "the Bud Light boycott is still on,” after Dana White called for conservatives to drink the woke company’s beer.

Comedians wouldn't cast a shadow on a single page of the Koran, but it's always fair game to mock the marriage of Mary and Joseph, and joke that Joseph was gay. Christians and their New Testament stories are irresistible grist for mockery. But mock Hillary Clinton, and there's hell to pay on the Jimmy Kimmel set. 

The idea that the onetime home of Walter Duranty should be taken seriously on anything pertaining to an editorial shift, or concern over an editorial shift at any other media outlet, is laughable. But, alas, here we are. The Old Grey Lady is the latest to weigh in on the Acela Media’s collective panic over Univision’s interview of former President Donald Trump specifically, and over a…

The pro-Biden media is trying not to panic as their own polls show Biden is not only losing to Donald Trump, he's losing on ethical behavior in the wake of the latest Hunter Biden indictment. When asked about the Biden family business, the president claims it's all "lies" that he met with his son's business clients. Media laziness lets him keep lying.

CBS and NBC touted Liz Cheney as a big "conservative' even as she called for Trump and the Republicans to be denied office in 2024. The staunch conservatives want Democrats to win everything? How does that compute? 

The Sean Hannity-moderated debate between Gavin Newsom and Ron DeSantis drew a predictable outcome from PolitiFact. They tried to ignore the raw numbers on Californians leaving Florida (and the reverse) and proclaim Newsom accurate by using a "per capita" measurement for America's most populous state. That's playing with "alternative facts."

The Democrats and their media allies are all abuzz at the possibility that they’ll reduce the tiny Republican majority in the House of Representatives by one. The House may vote to expel freshman Republican Rep. George Santos. They love promoting this guy to make the GOP look bad. The late-night "comedians" recently offered 72 jokes about Santos, compared to only 45 about President Biden. 

The New York Times reported Democrats are "quietly pining" for live coverage of Trump rallies...because they think voters have gone soft on their loathing of Trump, so they need more Trump in their face! They want Trump "plastered all over the news." It's like a rerun of 2015-16. Did they learn nothing? 

As polls show Donald Trump inching ahead of Joe Biden in the presidential race at the Thanksgiving mark, the network stars are frustrated. How could this be? Voters are forgetful, these polls can't possibly be reliable, and formerly reliable leftish networks like Univision are too nice to Trump.
