Venezuela Descends Into Dictatorship, With Minimal News Visibility

October 22nd, 2016 11:33 AM
Thursday evening, Venezuela's Bolivarian Socialist government arbitrarily suspended the recall effort against "President" Nicolas Maduro, demonstrating beyond any doubt that the South American country now functions as a dictatorship. Given its gravity, this news, described in coverage at the Wall Street Journal as "a crisis of democracy," is not getting the visibility it should be receiving.

October 16th, 2016 11:40 PM

A search at the Associated Press's main national site on "Podesta Iran" (not in quotes) returns no items relating to a Wikileaks-released email exposing how Hillary Clinton 2016 campaign manager John Podesta agreed with a Republican senator in July 2015 that the deal which had been "negotiated" by the Obama administration with Iran would lead to "a nuclear war in the Persian Gulf."

Three Media Items on NFL Ratings Slide Avoid Kaepernick, Anthem Antics

October 16th, 2016 9:39 PM
As the National Football League's Week 6 went into full swing Sunday, it has become clear that its TV ratings plunge is real, serious, and having a bottom-line impact. At the same time, there's a growing determination in the establishment press to avoid citing the "(Colin) Kaepernick effect" of player protests during the playing of the national anthem as a contributing factor. Recent lengthy…

AP's Colvin Tries to Find Trump Supporters Who Will Riot If He Loses

October 16th, 2016 12:27 AM
In a hysterical, fever-swamp dispatch otherwise shredded nicely by John Hinderaker at Powerline, the Associated Press's Jill Colvin insinuated that Donald Trump's concerns that the election is being rigged against him — with his primary complaints justifiably directed at an establishment press which has been undeniably colluding to do that — will cause his supporters to riot if he loses.

AP Claims Trump Wrong in Saying Bill Clinton 'Lost' His Law License

October 14th, 2016 9:56 PM
The latest installment of "Stupid Fact Checks" involves the Associated Press, which appears to be determined to deny the truth of any statement, no matter how obviously correct, made by Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump or running mate Mike Pence. At Sunday's second debate, Trump said, "what President Clinton did, he was impeached, he lost his license to practice law, he had to pay an…

AP Tags True Trump Assad-ISIS Claim 'Wrong,' Then 'Partially True'

October 11th, 2016 8:17 PM
Shortly after the conclusion of Sunday's second presidential debate, in reaction to Trump's statement that "Assad is killing ISIS," the AP tweeted: "Trump wrong that Syria's Assad is fighting Islamic State militants."

AP 'Fact Checks' Trump On Syria, But Contradicts Own Report

October 10th, 2016 10:19 AM
The AP claimed in a Monday "fact check" that "Trump [is] wrong that Assad fights IS."

AP Incompetently 'Fact Checks' True Pence Claim About National Debt

October 9th, 2016 2:01 PM
Many writers on the left and beat journalists in the establishment press contend that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and running mate Mike Pence tell lies so often that it's virtually impossible to keep up with all of them. If that's so, why, with all those "obvious" falsehoods out there, did two Los Angeles Times reporters have to label an absolutely true statement by Pence about…
