The first excerpts of the Jake Tapper-Alex Thompson book on denying former President Joe Biden's obvious mental decline have been posted, and you can already sense Democrats don't want to deal with what they have done.

The book's title is "Original Sin." Why the biblical title? The authors write: "The original sin of Election 2024 was Biden's ...Read more

The quick election of a pope born and raised in the United States was a shock to almost everyone outside the Sistine Chapel in Rome. Conclaves begin with secular and Catholic experts making a list of possible front-runners, and no one had Robert Prevost on their bingo card.

For Americans, it was shocking and a bit exhilarating. We were always ...Read more

Everywhere she goes, PBS CEO Paula Kerger makes the preposterous claim that there's "nothing more American than PBS." That's not an answer to anyone asking about the network's inevitable left-wing tilt. It's a way of changing the subject.

Last week, PBS and San Francisco PBS station KQED hosted a "Reframe Festival," and "PBS News Hour" anchor ...Read more

The latest announcement of the Pulitzer Prizes brought great anticipation -- not about who would win awards but about what topics would be honored. Once again, the awards were dominated by the leftist brands -- The New York Times and The New Yorker. Pulitzer Prize juries tend to hand out awards based on which causes they want to honor, and who ...Read more

The Supreme Court heard arguments on April 30 on whether a Catholic school in Oklahoma named for St. Isidore the Farmer can be the first charter school with a religious foundation. It's the latest case to alarm the media about the so-called separation of church and state.

New York Times legal reporter Adam Liptak cited a study finding that ...Read more

At the 100-day mark, it's an obvious fact that the border is now secure. Illegal immigration is now a trickle. The network "news" folks hate to mention it. But they are eager to cite polls that find Trump's immigration approval number is declining. Forget the successes, and drive the notion that he's losing juice in the polls.

To troll the anti...Read more

The New York Times recently published a hissy fit about the White House allowing reporters into the Briefing Room who didn't vote for Kamala Harris. Here was the amazing protest sentence: "Longtime White House reporters say the result has been an erosion of their independence."

The presence of a reporter who didn't vote Democrat doesn't "erode"...Read more

Is there any political schtick more tedious now than comparing President Donald Trump to Hitler? Politico posted an article noting Al Gore did this at a Climate Week event in San Francisco, and RealClearPolitics co-founder Tom Bevan tweeted with a smirk, "Gore says the same thing Democrats have been saying for a decade."

The Democrats ...Read more

The Easter season can remind people of classic Hollywood movies with religious themes. Every year, ABC still airs "The Ten Commandments." People might break out "The Passion of the Christ" from 2004, or head to the theater to see "The King of Kings" or "The Chosen: Last Supper," building on that streaming TV series on the life and ministry of ...Read more

Liberals love to claim conservatives don't have a firm grip on "reality," but they also insist reality has a liberal bias -- "facts" and "science" are always on their side.

In the last election, voters responded to advertisements pointing out that Kamala Harris was firmly committed to using taxpayer money to pay for gender-bending amputations, ...Read more

Journalists are terrible at hiding their desire to run our democracy, using their platforms to direct history to the "right side." That badly disguised lust for power creates an audience problem, where the people resent the media's imperious lectures about which side they are supposed to favor -- and if they don't, they are uneducated, racist ...Read more

On April 7, Facebook pulled the plug on the censorship of "independent fact-checkers," replacing it with a "Community Notes" approach, like Elon Musk's X uses. No one was more upset than the censorious left-wing "fact" police.

Angie Holan, the leader of the Poynter Institute's International Fact-Checking Network, marked "International Fact-...Read more

Our media elites love to tout themselves as "independent" and "fact-based." But on almost any story on Donald Trump, they can't help but put those words in the shredder.

The Kennedy Center illustrates one major difference between the two Trump terms. In the first term, the president deferred to the leftists who gave all the Kennedy Center ...Read more

At the Capitol grilling of the PBS and NPR CEOs on March 26, Rep. Pat Fallon (R-Texas) asked PBS boss Paula Kerger, "Would you believe that PBS is fair and objective and nonpartisan?"

Kerger said, "Yes."

Fallon then noted that on "Washington Week with The Atlantic" in 2023, host and Atlantic magazine editor Jeffrey Goldberg pronounced ...Read more

Down in the basement of the Capitol on March 26, I witnessed in person an episode of government accountability that upset liberal journalists. That's because it was conservatives holding leftist "public" media networks accountable.

The House DOGE subcommittee questioned PBS CEO Paula Kerger and NPR CEO Katherine Maher about their daily deluge ...Read more

Michael LaRosa was Jill Biden's press secretary for the first 18 months of Joe Biden's presidency, and in recent weeks he's loosened his lips about how Team Joe mistreated a pliant press corps.

In an interview with Cenk Uygur on "The Young Turks" show, LaRosa admitted: "They did bully a lot of journalists, and I think they would tell you that ...Read more

Conservatives love to joke that the Democrats should keep supporting outrageous Democrats that will hurt their image, from Jasmine Crockett to David Hogg to Tim Walz. What they fear is Democrats figuring out why they lost and fixing it.

On Ezra Klein's podcast for The New York Times, they turned to Democrat consultant David Shor, who analyzed ...Read more

In the moral battle between President Donald Trump and the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, the media have chosen a side. The foreign gangsters are less morally questionable than the president.

The Trump administration sent a plane stuffed with alleged Tren de Aragua members to El Salvador, which is apparently more of a crime than ...Read more

Trans woman activist Dylan Mulvaney did a happy-go-lucky softball interview tour to promote the book "Paper Doll: Notes from a Late Bloomer." The "mainstream" media are out of the mainstream on trans issues, and their extreme fawning and flattery only underlines it.

On "CBS Mornings," correspondent Natalie Morales sounded like a supporter: "...Read more

It would have been a dangerous drinking game during the Biden presidency to chug every time the media broadly described Jan. 6 protesters as "insurrectionists." It didn't matter whether the protesters were violent or vocally supported overthrowing the government. That was the automatic journalistic assumption for every protester on the scene.
