It’s been a rough week for America’s left, and particularly for the media. All day Tuesday, TV journalists used their national platform to vent all of their despair and rage over the leaked Supreme Court draft heralding the death of Roe v. Wade. And boy, did it get emotional.
If you relied exclusively on broadcast or liberal cable networks for your news, you’d likely be surprised to learn that Florida’s recently-passed education law was not officially titled, “the Don’t Say Gay law.” An MRC analysis found that TV networks almost exclusively referred to the law by this politically-charged epithet, with most outlets only using the law’s official name one or two times in…
This week, the applause of airline passengers celebrating their first masked flights in years was met with sullen glares and stern warnings from TV news’s greatest health experts. The Biden Administration’s mask mandate was struck down Monday by Federal Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, much to the chagrin of the mask-loving media.

Congratulations to MSNBC, the only liberal television network to have mentioned Hunter Biden’s laptop since last Thursday when the New York Times quietly admitted the story was true. Sure, it was only two seconds, in the form of a dismissive mention by Cross Connection guest Elie Mystal, but still!
Bad news for anyone still holding out hope that the media will eventually start blaming Biden for record-breaking gas prices and inflation: it’s not going to happen. For months the media’s talking points on skyrocketing energy costs have been in lockstep with the Biden administration’s own blame-shifting, and that trend doesn’t show any signs of letting up.
