The debate debacle hosted by ABC underscored why the conservative half of America is hostile to "fact-checkers." Object to them, and the left decrees it's because you're hostile to facts. But what conservatives actually oppose is leftist argumentation that's poorly disguised as nonpartisan and devoid of opinion.

"Fact-checking" is often an ...Read more

Even battle-hardened conservatives can find it shocking when Democrat-boosting reporters fail to identify Kamala Harris as a "liberal" or a "progressive" or even, dare one say it, a "left-wing radical."

In a new Media Research Center study of ABC's "World News Tonight," since Harris was anointed in a back room as Biden's replacement on July 21,...Read more

News consumers are often unaware of just how friendly the power players in Washington are, and those relationships are often undisclosed. You can tell that Trump haters have a common cause, but it can go much deeper than that.

On CNN's "The Lead with Jake Tapper" on Sept. 3, the host brought on Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg to ...Read more

There is never a level playing field in an American election. For example, the two major political parties have major advantages that third parties can't muster. Another example is the major Democratic Party advantage of the home-team announcers calling the action on the playing field. Our national media set the terms and the tone of our ...Read more

Taxpayer-subsidized National Public Radio shouldn't be a starting place for aggressively biased coverage against either Democrats or Republicans. But you can ask Clarence Thomas how the machine works.

On Aug. 27, NPR veterans affairs reporter Quil Lawrence lit into former President Donald Trump for bringing cameras to a section of Arlington ...Read more

The "mainstream" media messaging machine spent the whole Democratic convention channeling the notion of "reintroducing" Kamala Harris to America, relying on the assumption that vice presidents are only seen and not heard.

For all the journalists who suddenly want to channel the same aspirational biracial narrative that marked Barack Obama's ...Read more

It's blatantly obvious that since Donald Trump was almost assassinated and Joe Biden was successfully forced out of the race, the Democratic tone-setters decided to downplay their incessant Threat to Democracy talk and switch to Joyful Warriors buzz. The volume of that theme was turned up dramatically for the Democratic convention in Chicago.

The national prestige press proclaim the dangers of "misinformation" in this election and how our democracy is too important for voters to be misinformed, or "misinfluenced." But you can sense that what they mean is Republican arguments are inherently false and must be rebutted. This is the task of "journalism."

On the first night of the ...Read more

The Washington Post is owned by Jeff Bezos, but it reads like it's owned by the Democratic National Committee.

Consider the bias by omission. On Aug. 9, Washington Examiner reporter Gabe Kaminsky found an uncomfortable story: "Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz, on at least five occasions as governor of Minnesota, hosted a Muslim ...Read more

How do voters know the prestige press is hopelessly partisan? For three weeks, Kamala Harris has been refusing all requests for interviews or press conferences, and that goes unpunished. Donald Trump held a press conference, and he was absolutely punished.

Taxpayer-funded National Public Radio demonstrated their ultraliberal tilt for the ...Read more

Vice President Kamala Harris selected Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her Democratic running mate, offering a balance of different races and genders -- if you're one of those traditionalists who still believes in those binaries. But their ideology is a pretty strong match. Walz is especially "progressive" on abortion on demand, on pushing "gender-...Read more

Kamala Harris announced that her running mate will be Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who drew national huzzahs in the last few weeks for underlining the Democrat message that J.D. Vance is a major-league weirdo.

Vance congratulated Walz for the gig and lowered the boom: "Tim Walz allowed rioters to burn down Minneapolis in the summer of 2020, and the...Read more

We have officially reached that late period in a presidential campaign where the thoroughly leftist national newspapers turn into partisan rags that coo and gush, this time over Vice President Kamala Harris. Consider the July 31 "Style" section of The Washington Post.

It began with a large color photograph of a Harris impersonator on TikTok ...Read more

It's funny how journalists admit Vice President Kamala Harris is getting a media honeymoon, and then deny it means anything. Ben Smith at Semafor sent an email noting "Republican fury" at the gushy pro-Kamala bias and claiming, "But who are we, and Republicans, kidding? I wish we had that kind of power. The news media can't make and break ...Read more

On the same day that President Joe Biden implied Jan. 6 was a darker day than 9/11 and Pearl Harbor, leftist protesters fought and shoved police and burned the American flag near the Capitol. They pulled down the American flag and replaced it with the Palestinian flag. Some flew the Hamas flag and vandalized monuments with spray-painted slogans ...Read more

The bitter Sunday afternoon announcement that President Joe Biden would end his reelection bid spurred hours of live network television coverage. With all that time to talk, it was guaranteed that the TV newsers would start worrying out loud about a new Kamala Harris presidential campaign.

CBS really demonstrated the protective liberal urges. ...Read more

On July 15, the opening day of the Republican convention, federal judge Aileen Cannon dismissed special counsel Jack Smith's indictments of former President Donald Trump for misuse of classified documents. Legal arguments aside, it cast a shadow over all the breathless media hype that came before it.

Year after year, partisan "legacy media" ...Read more

NBC anchorman Lester Holt interviewed President Joe Biden on the first day of the Republican convention. In the past, that would be seen as impolite, for one party's nominee to intrude on the other party's convention week. That's why NBC offered that deal to Donald Trump -- should he choose to accept it.

Holt's interview wasn't a sappy softball...Read more

Republicans and many independents do not believe in the term "independent fact-checkers" when it comes to federal elections. Fact-checkers predictably defend Democrats from GOP "misinformation" in election season. Democrat extremism on abortion is one topic where the fact-"checkers" are the fact-manglers.

Take Republican Senate candidate Tim ...Read more

Does anybody remember the gentle days of political humor when Johnny Carson was the King of Late Night? Today's late-night environment is largely a nasty gang of hardened leftists (with Jimmy Fallon being the closest to the Carson model).

A new Media Research Center study by Alex Christy found the political tilt of guests (with a political ...Read more
