FLASHBACK: The Many Liberal Heroes of Barbara Walters
January 2nd, 2023 8:45 AM
Longtime ABC News personality Barbara Walters died Friday at the age of 93. While she shouldn’t be confused with one of those classless left-wing hacks you see too much of in today’s media landscape (including on her daytime creation The View), Walters nonetheless exhibited a typical Manhattan liberalism that celebrated even the most flawed Democratic partisans.

FLASHBACK: ABC Cheered Cuba as ‘One of the Freest Nations on Earth’
October 15th, 2022 12:15 PM
One of the more distasteful habits of liberal journalists has always been the tendency to flatter and fawn over brutal dictators. Reporters, who are supposed to speak truth to power, often fail when it comes to charismatic communists. That’s exactly what happened when ABC's Barbara Walters interviewed Fidel Castro almost 19 years ago.

ABC FLASHBACK: ‘Good’ Weiner ‘Should Hang in There’
June 11th, 2022 12:15 PM
If you ever wondered whether the liberal media’s horror over sex scandals is entirely situational and dependent on political party, Anthony Weiner settled it for all time. It was 11 years ago this month that the former Democratic Congressman faced calls to resign after sending sexually explicit pictures of himself to a young woman. But that didn’t stop many in the media from attempting to…

March 5th, 2022 12:15 PM
The propaganda network RT this week suffered a mortal blow when DirectTV FINALLY dropped the outlet known for offering pro-Putin lies and ridiculous spin. On Thursday, CNN explained that “RT America will cease productions and lay off most of its staff.” It was eight years ago today that one journalist bravely resigned from RT to protest the network’s Putin propaganda in the wake of the (first…

New ‘View’ Conservative Must Prepare for SICK Defenses of Liberal Men
September 18th, 2021 12:15 PM
The notoriously liberal View is currently holding tryouts to replace token conservative Meghan McCain who departed the show this summer after numerous clashes with liberals like Joy Behar. Whoever this new woman is, she should prepare herself for the disgusting levels that the View co-hosts will go to defend (liberal) men accused of sexual crimes. It was 19 years ago this…

FLASHBACK: Barbara Walters Bragged About Christmas Cards from Castro
November 16th, 2019 12:15 PM
Barbara Walters had an affinity for Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. From gushing over his “charisma” to repeating communist talking points, the ABC journalist couldn’t help herself. It was 36 years ago this November that Walters bragged about Christmas cards from Castro. Appearing on the Tonight Show, she told host Johnny Carson: “I get a Christmas card every year from Fidel Castro. It comes in…

Bozell & Graham Column: Media Can't Stand Trump Winning, Ever
October 29th, 2019 11:28 PM
The successful U.S. military campaign to bring swift justice to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is clearly a big, big victory for America. Rather than surrender, the world’s most wanted terrorist tugged on a suicide vest and blew himself to pieces. He made sure the blast killed his three children, too. The media coverage could be easily predicted. Straight news has disappeared. Absolutely…

Last week, we noted excerpts were coming out from Ramin Setoodeh's gossipy tell-all book on the seamy underside at The View. Now Yashar Ali at HuffPost has secured a copy of the entire book. Their headline is "New Book Reveals Stunning Misconduct And Dysfunction At ABC’s The View." Ex-producer Rick Gentile trashed Rosie O'Donnell as "medically insane...she was like Pol Pot in Cambodia. She was…

FLASHBACK: Media Using Same Playbook They Used to Smear Thomas
September 18th, 2018 8:30 AM
We’ve seen the media and the Democrats use this playbook before. When Justice Clarence Thomas was well on his way to being confirmed in 1991, the Democrats brought forth Anita Hill to accuse Thomas of sexual harassment, in a last ditch attempt to derail his nomination. And while it remains to be seen if the media turn the Brett Kavanaugh nomination process into a similar circus it’s instructive…

FLASHBACK: ABC Gushed Over ‘Charming,’ ‘Thoughtful’ Assad
April 7th, 2017 12:04 PM
Reacting to the air strikes ordered by President Trump, Good Morning America journalist Martha Raddatz on Friday assailed the “horrific chemical attack” by Syria’s dictator. Given that the war criminal Bashar al-Assad brutally massacred over 70 of his own people, the journalists at ABC might be embarrassed at how, through the years, they fawned over the “charming,” “intelligent,” “thoughtful”…

NPR media correspondent David Folkenflik appeared on the NPR-produced midday show Here and Now on Wednesday to discuss Megyn Kelly’s move from Fox News to NBC. He twice praised her for “cannily” negotiating herself across the media spectrum -- strange new respect which might make a conservative think she’s headed straight to the left. Then came the jaw-dropper: He said she was "desperately hoping…
