Column: When Republicans Win, The Media Are Hearings-Impaired

July 21st, 2023 5:48 AM

Scandal coverage is the most obvious subject to demonstrate a pro-Democrat bias, and live coverage of scandal hearings is even more obvious.

July 18th, 2023 5:30 PM

On Monday night, Jesse Watters took the plum spot of 8 pm on the Fox News Channel – the O’Reilly/Tucker hour – so it’s not surprising that NPR’s professional Fox-hater David Folkenflik tried to ruin the moment on Monday’s Morning Edition. His story was headlined “Fox's newest star Jesse Watters boasts a wink, a smirk, and a trail of outrage.” But his theme was that unlike his…

FLASHBACK: The Media HATED Talking About Hillary's Emails

June 14th, 2023 5:29 PM
