Queen Elizabeth II

With only a few hardened leftists stuck on COVID-19, 2022 represented a year in which more Americans moved on and, thankfully for the team at NewsBusters, the liberal media continued to provide us plenty of content. For our top ten most-read blogs of the year, the topics included Biden’s mental state, the free state of Florida, Hollywood elitism, and Ukraine. For this year, the News Analysis…

WASHINGTON -- The enormous outpouring of affection for Queen Elizabeth II has recently demonstrated to the world that monarchy is not dead. Now attention will turn to King Charles III, and we shall see how he will do. As I intimated last week, I think he will do very well. I said his initial speech to his subjects and to the world was “brilliant.”

A clip of CNN’s Don Lemon from September 13 went viral on Tuesday where the recently demoted host got more than he bargained for when he welcomed royal commentator and global business consultant Hilary Fordwich in the aftermath of Queen Elizabeth II’s death. Fordwich agreed with Lemon that reparations could be useful, but that they should be paid to the descendants of Royal Navy sailors who…

WASHINGTON -- I met King Charles III when he was but the prince of Wales on the evening of Nov. 2, 2005. I was the guest of President George W. Bush, and he invited me to the White House perhaps to demonstrate to the future British King that though Great Britain had a much older Spectator, America had its own Spectator, and it was read in the White House. His wife, Laura,…

It's become expected for some on the left to use Queen Elizabeth's death to lament the injustices of Great Britain's colonial past or to call for the dissolution of the British monarchy. But the Washington Post’s Karen Attiah decided to approach the problem from a new angle in a piece titled “What Queen Elizabeth meant for White Christianity,” seeing the queen as a symbol for…

Hey, no bias there! This week the world learned of the passing of England’s 96 year old Queen Elizabeth II. A couple weeks ago Russia’s 91 year old Mikhail Gorbachev, the last president of the Communist Soviet Union, passed away. And the difference in coverage in the media was, shall we say, interesting.

As part of CNN’s Friday coverage of the death of Queen Elizabeth II, Christiane Amanpour demanded that the new monarch, King Charles III, violate his constitutional duty of being apolitical and address left-wing pet causes like Black Lives Matter and reparations.

MSNBC’s Ali Velshi broke with network tradition on his Saturday show and welcomed an actual historian on to discuss current events. It did not go well for Velshi as repeatedly told Roberts “I need you to stop” because Roberts debunked his reductive view of the history of the British monarchy.

During all the tributes and stories on the death of Queen Elizabeth II, many media outlets — somewhat surprisingly — fondly commented on the enduring and close friendship between Ronald Reagan and the Queen, calling the conservative icon “the best,” the man who “got the relationship right” and was Elizabeth’s “favorite.” 

WASHINGTON — Take a break from the news. From the stories of war in Ukraine, slaughter of schoolchildren in Texas and mayhem against minorities in Buffalo, New York. Turn your attentions at least temporarily to consider Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee, celebrating her 70th year on the throne. Did you see those gorgeous pictures of the royal family across the front page of most of the…

Washington -- I could not reach my colleague Wlady Pleszczynski for most of the day on Saturday. He was mysteriously missing. On Saturdays, we talk for at least an hour on the telephone about the past week's events, but not this Saturday. His telephone rang and rang, all for naught. The same was true for two more of my weekend confidants. I had important news to convey to them, but no one was…

During the 3:00 p.m. hour of Monday's CNN Newsroom, the panel repeatedly compared President Trump to a king as they covered his state visit with Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II. In addition to indulging her guests’ suggestions that the President would like to be a king, host Brooke Baldwin teed up British journalist Harry Mount to trash the President.

The official announcement of second-quarter economic growth won’t be out until July 27, but already the predictions look good. Just don’t expect to hear them on ABC, CBS and NBC. Economists and Wall Street firms have been crunching numbers and making predictions Amherst Pierpont, Oxford Economics, the Atlanta Federal Reserve and Moody’s all forecast estimates of 4 percent or higher growth in…
