Double Standards

On CNN This Morning, host Kasie Hunt introduces mainstream, non-MAGA, Republican Scott Jennings as a "conservative columnist," and in the context of the Stormy Daniels trial, challenges him; "I'm just kind of curious. How do you feel about defending him with these allegations out there?"

It’s hard to watch the incessant gavel-to-gavel coverage of the Donald Trump trial in Manhattan without feeling like you’re traveling in a time warp back to 2016. We’re back reliving the “Access Hollywood” tape and talk of how Trump would have never been elected except porn star Stormy Daniels accepted a six-figure check to keep quiet.

As pro-Hamas campus protesters infest liberal college campuses, the New York Times put Artificial Intelligence and four reporters to work to neutralize any political advantage for Republicans. It spent over 3,500 words and using “a variety of methods to examine the extent to which federal politicians have used language promoting antisemitic tropes,” including “official press releases…

On CNN This Morning, CNN's Mark Preston says that porn star Stormy Daniels claiming in court that Donald Trump didn't use a condom ("protection") during their alleged sexual encounter constitutes a "sordid detail" that will hurt Trump with women voters in swing states. 

Morning Joe mocks an NFT superhero series card of Donald Trump in a bomber jacket, ignoring the fact that both Joe Biden and Barack Obama have made public appearances in bomber jackets.

Back on Saturday during his Fox News Channel Show Life, Liberty, & Levin, our friend and conservative talk radio legend Mark Levin used his opening monologue to torch President Biden and his allies in the liberal media for downplaying the October 7, 2023 animalistic terror attacks by Hamas on innocents in Israel the further we get from the attacks in order to commiserate with…

The New York Times came out stridently in defense of pan-Arab news network Al-Jazeera after the Israeli government temporarily shut down its local operations, claiming it was threatening Israel’s security by serving as a “mouthpiece” for Hamas. The paper was highly aggrieved over the “anti-democratic” move, while ignoring Al-Jazeera’s history as a virulently anti-Israel outlet Arab…

No one who's politically aware can be unaware of January 6, 2021. Tens of thousands of Americans descended on Washington to protest the counts and Covid-related conditions of the 2020 election. A riot took place at the US Capitol. The riot resulted in the charging, per ABC News three years later, of over 1,200 and “incarceration for more than 460 people.” 

In speeches throughout his time in office (and in particular since the build-up to the 2022 midterms), President Biden has warned a second Trump term would herald the “end of democracy.” But if anything, Biden is late to the party. The corporate media were doomsaying about democracy’s brutal demise as far back as early 2021, and their rhetoric has only grown more absurd since then.

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough criticizes the media for stereotyping Trump supporters as "people are stumbling drunk out of their trailer park and shooting raccoons or something like that. " But Scarborough himself recently mocked Republican Jim Comer in similar fashion, describing him as saying, "we ain't really got nuthin' but a squirrel fryer and a hound dog," and "running for the hills.…

On Morning Joe, Mara Gay, an MSNBC analyst and member of the editorial board of the New York Times, says of Trump: "He's like a caged animal. And that's a dangerous situation. He's feeling very threatened. He's out of control. And so we do expect him to lash out."

After a White House press briefing dominated Tuesday by questions about foreign policy (Israel, Japan, and even Haiti to name a few) for National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, little time was left over for Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. Jacqui Heinrich was back in the Fox News Channel seat and she pressed Jean-Pierre over new anti-Israel rhetoric from the radical Islamists who populate…

In an interview with Deadline published last week, Brian Teta, the executive producer of ABC’s The View, admitted that they have “stopped asking” former President Trump to be on the show, and requests would resume on a “case-by-case” basis depending on who he picked as vice president. On the flipside, Teta expected President Biden to make an appearance to get a tongue bath from the co…

PBS’s Amanpour and Company is, apparently, where irony goes to die. On the Wednesday show, first aired on CNN International, host Christiane Amanpour welcomed alleged comedian Bassem Youssef, who has family in Gaza, to lament double standards in media coverage on Israeli and Palestinian suffering while the latter told Israel “to go F itself,” something no media personality would ever…
