According to Politico, the problem with Joe Biden is that he’s not adopting the “boldest” proposals of Black Lives Matter. Chiding the Democrat as too tame, writers Ryan Lizza, Laura Barron-Lopez and Holly Otterbein on Friday complained that the presumptive nominee hasn’t embraced BLM enough. The article didn’t mention, however what some of those official positions are, including the…

Maybe it is better not to make a prediction just a couple of days before you could be proved horribly wrong. Such was the case with Politico reporters Victoria Guida and Renuka Rayasam when on June 3 they made their twenty percent unemployment prediction which, of course, was contradicted on June 5 by the May jobs report showing that unemployment, contrary to what most economists expected, had…

Could the love affair that the mainstream media has been having for New York governor Andrew Cuomo finally be diminishing? One sign of that could be a new skepticism creeping into the stories about how Cuomo has handled the coronavirus crises with his disastrous decision to send COVID-19 patients into nursing homes.

CNN political analyst and Politico writer Ryan Lizza decided during Monday’s briefing to follow girlfriend Olivia Nuzzi from April 27 and ask a snarky question about how many deaths would be acceptable to the White House in terms of President Trump’s reelection prospects.

Much of the mainstream media is now performing an end zone victory dance over the news that the World Health Organization has suspended clinical trials of hydroxychloroquine due to safety concerns. Typical of the coverage is this Politico story on Monday, "World Health Organization pauses study of hydroxychloroquine in global trial."

One favorite pastime of the national media is mocking President Trump's tweets as gauche and inappropriate. The people who make the Politico Playbook newsletter played this game on Memorial Day with the president, suggesting all of his tweets should have been respectful tributes to our war dead. Politico contrasted Trump tweeting about Obamagate and "Make America Great Again" with our apparently…

Florida-based Politico reporter Marc Caputo was attacked for writing "snarky nonsense" when he suggested the national media have been much rougher on Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis than New York Gov.

Propaganda Politico? America ‘Not Number One,' Touts China 'Piling on'

It doesn’t take much effort for liberal journalists to sing the praises of China “outperforming” expectations while hammering America as “disastrously” faltering, especially in response to the coronavirus pandemic. A recent example of this came when David Wertime, the “Editorial Director for China” at Politico, posted an article entitled: “Not the World's Number One': Chinese Social Media Piles…

On Sunday's Reliable Sources, CNN host Brian Stelter cued up New York magazine reporter Olivia Nuzzi to defend herself for asking Trump if he deserves re-election after he "lost" more Americans than died in the Vietnam War. Nuzzi's boyfriend Ryan Lizza of Politico claimed it's "never been the case" that reporters showboated in the briefing room. Has he never watched Jim Acosta?

It finally happened. A liberal outlet got around to saying this was President Donald Trump’s economy, but only because it’s being wrecked by the Wuhan coronavirus. In an April 29, Politico Playbook PM newsletter, which aggregates top headlines, Politico had this disgusting headline take the #2 spot in its list written in all caps: “PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP’S CORONAVIRUS ECONOMY."

You know the old joke about the front page of The New York Times announcing Armageddon: Meteor Hurtles Toward Earth! World to End by Midnight. Women, Minorities Hardest Hit. Well, Politico seems to think we needed more proof that satire is dead. How else to explain a piece by Ryan Heath and Renuka Rayasam lamenting “Covid’s War on Women?”

Multiple liberal outlets fumed at how conservative donors have funded groups who have supported lockdown protests across the country. But they avoided reporting how the left is outspending the right in this election cycle to outside groups by over $100 million. Records reveal that all top liberal donors listed by Open Secrets (59) spent a whopping $191,827,021 combined so far on liberal groups…
