Hypocritical NYT Sheds Fake Tears for Giuliani's Marred 'Legacy'
September 11th, 2016 7:00 PM
On the front of Saturday’s New York Times, reporters Jonathan Mahler and Maggie Haberman shed hypocritical tears over the risks to Rudy Giuliani’s “legacy” -- one the paper has spent over a decade doing its best to slur.

September 11th, 2016 9:46 AM
September 11 is a sacred day for America where we try to put our political squabbles aside and come together to moan an unbelievable tragedy.

Wow: Lauer, Veteran Come Out Swinging Against Hillary on Her E-Mails
September 7th, 2016 9:26 PM
Looking at the history of NBC’s Today co-host Matt Lauer leading into Wednesday night’s MSNBC/NBC Commander in Chief Forum, one would conclude that he’d be anything but netural compared to some of his colleagues for impartial questioning both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, but he brought the heat early on in Clinton’s portion about her e-mail scandal that left Clinton on the defensive.

AP's Lee Fails to Cite Kerry's Plea For Less Media Terrorism Coverage
August 31st, 2016 2:06 PM
In Bangladesh on Monday, Secretary of State John Kerry had a concern about media coverage of terrorism he felt he needed to communicate, namely that "the media would do us all a service if they didn’t cover it quite as much." That would be a great thing, apparently, because then "People wouldn’t know what’s going on." You can't make this stuff up.

August 30th, 2016 9:05 PM
It’s been quite the Tuesday on the bias by omission front for the “big three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC as along with ignoring an Associated Press story on over 70 mass graves in ISIS territory being discovered, the same broadcast network morning and evening newscasts also punted on Secretary of State John Kerry lecturing the media to not cover terrorism as frequently.

PolitiFact Laughably Denies $400 Million to Iran Was 'Ransom'
August 25th, 2016 3:15 PM
Early in August it was revealed that the U.S. secretly airlifted $400 million dollars to Iran on the same day that it released four of its U.S. hostages, back in January. As soon as the highly-suspicious details came out, conservatives noted the exchange certainly looked like a ransom payment.
