Sometimes, bias in media is not constrained to one typical political party or the other within the Fourth Estate. Often, preconceived notions or preferences pour forth from reporters and editors simply because of their normalcy bias or ignorance of fundamental American principles.
The story of Fayetteville is a perfect example.
On the national front, Fox News’ Audrey Conklin recently reported…
Georgia Congresswoman Majorie Taylor Greene (R) recently proposed a bill ending the vampiric federal tax on profits for all home sales, and in reporting on the move, Newsweek offered keen observers a powerful example of sloppy reporting and normalcy bias.
The facts of the story are fairly simple, and, as Newsweek’s Giulia Carbornaro notes, have been catalyzed by Greene’s Thursday move.

Perhaps CNN’s management is not aware of the fact that there's already a Game Show Network. But someone should tell them before they double down on their attempt to engage in the Blame Game after the horrendous floods around Texas' Guadalupe River and Donald Trump’s visit to the zone.
The Daily Wire’s Catherine Maxwell recalled with savage clarity reminders of the fact that FEMA already has…
California Governor Gavin Newsom, long a darling of the progressive elite, has donned a new mask. On June 30, he signed Assembly Bill 130/Senate Bill 131, claiming the move would:
“…build more housing, faster, and create strong affordable pathways for every Californian. Today’s bill is a game changer, which will be felt for generations to come.”
Typically, that kind of rhetoric from…
Get ready.
In a razor-thin 214-212 vote on June 12, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a “rescissions” bill to begin the process of nixing the $1.1 billion in tax cash that might otherwise be showered on the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) and its sub-parasites, PBS and NPR.
The vote was the first half of what is necessary to end the cash flow, and now, the Senate looms as…
The June 25 NY City rank-choice Mayoral Primary victory of Democrat (and socialist) state Assembly member Zohran Mamdani has been receiving applause for his economic policies in pop media circles.
Take, for example, CBS News, NY, which heralded his “community” organization and cozy message that stressed “affordability” – which, of course, is code for government welfarism and subsidies, price…
Even after Elon Musk’s late May departure from the Department of Government Efficiency (an oxymoron that provides a key insight into one of the major drawbacks of government), DOGE has announced the termination of 312 federal contracts, yielding savings of $470 million.
The cancellations -- including a $286,000 Department of Defense contract and a $485,000 USAID contract -- could be hailed as…
For over a thousand years, the seal of confession has stood as an inviolable pillar of Catholic doctrine. Priests are bound to absolute secrecy about sins disclosed during the sacrament of reconciliation, under penalty of excommunication—a sanction so grave it underscores the Church’s commitment to the penitent’s trust. Yet SB 5375 mandates that clergy report confessions that openly admit to, or…
One of California’s top storytellers is repeating a troubling performance.
Indeed, in a June 20 X post, California Governor Gavin Newsom not only set the table to blame Trump, he employed slippery stats that can mislead readers, writing:
“Donald Trump isn’t just threatening CA’s disaster aid, he’s also pushing for dangerous cuts ahead of wildfire season — A 63% REDUCTION in the U.S. Forest…
Stephen King is famous for making up tall tales. From “Salem’s Lot” – a tale about politicians sucking the lifeblood out of Maine locals (just kidding) – to “Christine” (a story reminiscent of Richard Matheson’s legendary “Duel”) with its possessed, self-driving car, he’s spun words better than many political speechwriters to deliver pretend messages that have thrilled and chilled millions.…
