The liberal media gave extremely little coverage to Juanita Broaddrick's charge that Bill Clinton raped her in 1978, when he was the Attorney General of Arkansas and a candidate for Governor. The only time he faced on-camera questioning during his presidency about this charge was at a March 19, 1999 press conference when ABC's Sam Donaldson asked Clinton if he would "speak directly on this matter…
Exactly one year ago today, Americans elected Donald Trump as the 45th President of the United States. But in the days leading up to the election, the establishment news media made it seem as if a Trump victory was unthinkable, as they touted their own polls and predictions as if they were facts.
Over the past several months, journalists have had no qualms about attacking President Trump on a deeply personal level, calling him an “embarrassing” “unhinged” “liar,” a “sociopath” and a “madman” presiding over a “malignant presidency.” But eight years ago, many of these same reporters were offended at criticism of Barack Obama and his policies, scorning the “mean,” “ugly,” “offensive” “…
The GOP effort to repeal and replace ObamaCare is back before the Senate, and so too are the deceitful tactics employed by liberal reporters in their obvious effort to build opposition to the measure. Thursday evening’s newscasts on ABC and NBC each included one-sided stories about the fears of mothers of babies with high medical costs — but neither network told viewers that both of the women…
Wrapping up his coverage of Friday's early morning Senate vote that at least temporarily scuttled GOP hopes for a repeal of ObamaCare, MSNBC anchor Brian Williams openly admired Senator John McCain's decision to align himself with Democrats, calling him and two other GOP defectors a "profile in courage," and he welcomed the vote against the Republican bill as "the people of this country...…
On the July 3 edition of FNC's Fox & Friends, White House advisor Kellyanne Conway referred to two MRC studies released the previous week to make her case that the media were ignoring the substance of the Trump presidency in favor of gotcha journalism.
On the June 11 NBC Nightly News, correspondent Lucy Kafanov voiced nostalgia for the days of communism as she reported on poverty in rural Russia.
"It wasn't always like this," Kafanov argued. "In the Soviet era, most villagers worked on huge collective farms. Life wasn't easy, but the government provided for the people."
Kafanov then showed viewers the yearnings of a Russian woman: "'It would…
Like the rest of the liberal media elite, NBC's Today was in a frenzy over the Washington Post's charge -- denied by the Trump administration -- that the President shared classified information in a recent meeting with Russian officials. Co-host Savannah Guthrie started Tuesday's show by saying the White House was in "crisis mode," with "outrage in Washington" over the "jaw-dropping story."
But…
President Trump is skipping this year’s White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, but that hasn’t stopped the media from nevertheless hyping the event. At that same dinner on April 30, 2011, journalists thought it was hilarious when then-President Obama and comedian Seth Meyers lampooned Trump from the stage, while the billionaire businessman sat in the audience. The media loved it.
Since the inauguration, CBS Evening News anchor Scott Pelley has repeatedly gone out of his way to slam President Donald Trump’s “falsehoods,” even asking if the President “is having difficulty with rationality.” But Pelley wasn’t always as zealous about highlighting presidential falsehoods. In December 2013, PolitiFact awarded Democratic President Barack Obama with peddling the “Lie of the Year…
