Media Bias Debate

When Donald Trump was president, Joe Scarborough ceaselessly mocked him for his overly-optimistic predictions at the beginning of the pandemic as to when Covid would be gone. Among other things, Scarborough endlessly repeated Trump's erroneous forecast that Covid would be gone "by April." Scarborough's repetitions of those lines became such a running joke on Morning Joe, that the show devoted…

One of the big takeaways from Kyle Rittenhouse’s interview with Tucker Carlson, which aired Monday night, was that he and his lawyers were gearing up to stick it to the liberal media and the radical politicians with defamation lawsuits. He wouldn’t go into detail, but it was clear he was setting the groundwork for what many, included Nicholas Sandmann, were urging him to do.

Jackie Calmes, formerly a pro-Democrat journalist for the New York Times, is now a DC-based columnist for the Los Angeles Times. Her Friday cri de coeur sympathized with the poor-me Democrats who just can’t get their message out in the media (!): “Megaphone is bigger problem for Democrats than messaging.” Calmes whined: "Republicans have an entire conservative media…

Talk about sage advice. In the U.K.-based Daily Mail on Tuesday, Nicholas Sandmann, the then-Covington Catholic High School student maligned and slandered by the liberal media for simply wearing a MAGA hat at the Lincoln Memorial in 2019 and attending the March for Life, spoke out about the liberal media’s treatment of Kenosha self-defender Kyle Rittenhouse and gave him some tips on…

On Monday, CNSNews Editor Craig Bannister reported on a new survey finding that “A majority of U.S. likely voters now say they both distrust what the media’s telling them about political issues and think the media is being softer on President Joe Biden than they were on his predecessor, Donald Trump.” He explained that the Rasmusssen poll “finds that 53% of U.S. voters distrust the media’s…

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough takes a two-fold approach to covering for Biden's terrible poll numbers. First, he claims that the 17% of Democrats who have deserted Biden would "obviously...come home": i.e., vote Democrat, when the electoral chips were down. Scarborough's second move was to quickly pivot away from Biden's bad numbers, and switch to touting support for the recently-…

On Thursday afternoon, MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell reminded viewers that no segment on her show discussing Hillary Clinton would be complete without claims of the former Democratic presidential candidate being a victim of alleged "sexism."

On Sunday, Fox News Channel MediaBuzz anchor Howard Kurtz kicked off the program by tearing apart the liberal media’s narrative that Virginia Governor-elect Glenn Youngkin was appealing to racists with his campaign. And it wasn’t just him, Kurtz leaned on a panel representing separate ideologies who agreed that the narrative was a lie.

Newsweek deputy opinion editor Batya Ungar-Sargon left quite an impression during an appearance on Sunday’s Reliable Sources as she politely went at it with CNN host Brian Stelter over how the “highly affluent, highly educated liberal elites” both in the media and the left generally have weaponized “wokeness” against the “working-class of all races” in America.

The terrible election results for Democrats are going to lead to some terrible conclusions. One might be the assumption that these bad results reflect a media that’s too hostile to the Democrats. Greg Sargent of The Washington Post tweeted this lame summary from former Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer: “Republicans have a massive communications advantage..."

Participating in a Paley Center discussion of media coverage on Wednesday evening, NewsBusters Executive Editor Tim Graham called out New York Times reporter Patrick Healy for absurdly claiming that his leftist paper catered to “both sides” of the political spectrum. The liberal journalist’s obnoxious response prompted laughter from other conservatives on the panel.

While Democrats try to dig out from their electoral disaster on Tuesday, Morning Joe has come up with an explanation for Biden's unpopularity, which dragged Dems down across the country: it's Trump's fault! As Mika Brzezinski put it on Thursday: "This administration is grappling with the problems that it adopted from the last administration, these problems are in some ways either…

The Washington Post needs to institute mandatory substance testing for its employees. Greg Sargent's latest column is headlined is "Glenn Youngkin’s repulsive final push reveals a dark truth for Democrats." And just what is that "dark truth"? It's that Terry McAuliffe might lose because GOP candidate Glenn Youngkin has benefited from "a right-wing media network that has no rival on…

On Wednesday, The Daily Wire’s Hank Berrien reported on the devastating one-word tweet Nicolas Sandmann delivered to CNN’s Brian Stelter that completely shut down the Reliable Sources host’s pathetic attempt to deny media dishonesty. When Stelter took to Twitter on Tuesday to mock Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for accurately calling out frequent deception in the left-wing…
