On Sunday’s Reliable Sources, CNN host Brian Stelter entertained the laughable notion that the media have been harder on President Biden than they were on his successor, President Trump.
With the Virginia Gubernatorial election at stake, the media have resorted to flat-out lying to boost Democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe’s chances. TV journalists, anchors, and reporters are practically screaming at audiences that critical race theory is not taught anywhere in public schools, and certainly not in Virginia where it’s become the primary issue for Republican voters.
This is a lie.
Despite warning for days that the “Justice For J6” rally on Saturday would be fraught with violence and lawlessness, CNN’s Brian Stelter and friends on Friday morning’s CNN Newsroom were weirdly upset that Trump was urging his supporters not to attend the event.
Twenty years after the devastating terror attacks of September 11, let’s not forget how left-wingers in the news media and Hollywood have reacted by blaming America, trashing the War on Terror, and pushing insane conspiracy theories that the United States itself had staged the attacks or was somehow protecting Osama bin Laden.
During a Tuesday press conference in New Jersey, President Biden stumbled over his words and wound up claiming that people no longer use the word “tornado.” While this peculiar moment has been covered by a handful of news outlets that aren’t right wing by any stretch of the imagination, the Biden-friendly broadcast TV networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) have avoided discussing it entirely, even though…
So what would you call a journalist who’s so shameless that they’ll actually defend these catastrophic policy blunders from the Biden administration?
Unfortunately, that’s not the setup to a joke, and there are multiple correct answers: MSNBC’s Joy Reid, CNN’s Brian Stelter, Salon politics reporter Amanda Marcotte, professional Biden compliment dispenser Matthew Dowd. All of them (and more)…
Back in May, when news first broke that CNN’s Chris Cuomo had participated in strategy calls with New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, the Prime Time host defended himself by claiming: “This is a unique and difficult situation, and that’s okay. I know where the line is.” But the younger Cuomo’s utter flouting of journalistic ethics began well before this most recent scandal, when he first started…
It’s no secret that the media abruptly lose interest in covering presidential gaffes when Democrats take the White House. Well, they’re doing it again; over the past few months liberal cable and broadcast news networks have utterly ignored a slew of mistakes and fumbles by President Biden.
Remember when the media joined Democrats in condemning the filibuster as an outdated practice that only gummed up the legislative process? Evidently journalists don’t, because when Democratic state legislators from Texas fled their state last Monday to sabotage the passage of a bill they didn’t like, they became the national news media’s heroes of the week.
The media are aware that Democrat-backed critical race theory is unpopular, so they’re trying to define the concept out of existence and make any voter who’s worried about it seem like a misguided conspiracy theorist. They dishonestly insist that critical race theory is a very advanced concept only taught in graduate-level classes, and that it is utterly absent from any K-12 school curriculum.
