Video: MSNBC Host Brags How Media Buried ‘Uranium One’ Story
by Shifra on November 17, 2017No one will be surprised to hear that most of the MSM are “Hillary hacks.” But what is remarkable about Tur’s assertion is that she does not seem to think that admitting this bias is at all problematic. Via NewsBusters. After conservative media forced the networks and liberal cable news to finally cover the latest FBI revelations over the Clinton Foundation’s financial dealings with Russia, they’ve changed tactics from ignoring the story, to dismissing it as bogus. MSNBC host Katy Tur bragged on Wednesday’s Deadline: White House that the media were fully aware of the Uranium One story, during the campaign, but purposefully chose to ignore it…. Tur slammed the story as a “desperate” move by Trump since she admitted,...

Video: ABC Host Covers Democrat Sen. Menendez Trial…For Sixteen Seconds
by Shifra on November 14, 2017On yesterday’s show, Tammy played audio of Martha Raddatz repeatedly badgering Kellyanne Conway about the Judge Moore allegations, and Conway astutely pointed out that Raddatz was spending more time on this story than about Democrat Sen. Menendez, who has been indicted on serious criminal charges. Raddatz responded with a “promise” to be “talking about that too.” And here it is.. All sixteen seconds of coverage: Via NewsBusters. ABC, CBS, NBC Give Zero Coverage To Menendez Trial

CNN Awaits Senate Hearing… With ‘Comey Countdown Clock’
by Shifra on June 7, 2017Maybe, years from now, we will all remember exactly where we were when James Comey took his seat at the Senate Intelligence Committee Hearing. Well…maybe not. Via NewsBusters. Hours… Minutes… Seconds… The world awaits the very moment former FBI Director James Comey begins his testimony on June 8 before the Senate Intelligence Committee. It could be the most momentous world event in decades…or even centuries! And we must all thank CNN for providing us with the Comey Countdown Clock so we can be aware of exactly how long we have to wait until our lives are changed forever. Of course, a killjoy out there could point out that Comey already did testify before the Senate a month ago on May...

Cue the Fainting Couch: LA Times Predicts Armageddon Under Trump
by Tammy on April 3, 2017The meltdown not only continues, but appears to be increasing in intensity. At this point I don’t know if there’s enough Valium and diapers in the world for the hysterics at the Times. I hate to be the bearer of bad news for them, but we have a president who doesn’t care about their feelings nor does he need to be liked by them. That is at the core of the liberal establisment mass hysteria~~ we suddenly have a man in the White House they can’t bully and control. Thank God. Via Washington Examiner. The Los Angeles Times on Sunday launched a four-part editorial series that said Trump’s lack of respect for democratic institutions and his “utter lack of regard...

MSM Headline Fail: *Truck* Blamed for Muslim Murder of 4 Israelis
by Shifra on January 9, 2017The mainstream media reported yesterday’s horrific terror attack in Jerusalem. Although, reading the headlines, one would think we need to ban… trucks. Via Daily Caller. When a Palestinian terrorist drove a truck into a crowd of Israeli soldiers Sunday morning the headlines from major media outlets pinned the blame squarely on the truck, avoiding headlining the story as a terrorist attack. “At Least 4 Dead and 15 Injured in Jerusalem Truck Attack,” declared the New York Times. The lede in the times read, “A truck plowed into a group of people as they were getting off a bus in Jerusalem on Sunday afternoon, killing at least four people and injuring about 15 others, the police said.”…. More trucks killing?! Ban...

Yahoo Apologizes for Adding Racial Slur to Trump Tweet
by Shifra on January 6, 2017Yahoo (inadvertently?) changed a letter of President-Elect Trump’s tweet, which then contained a racial slur. Ok, nice of them to apologize. But most headlines managed to be written so that it looks like it was Donald Trump who had initially added the racial slur, which then needed to be deleted. For example, here is the U.S. News & World Report headline to the story: Yahoo Deletes Offensive Tweet About Trump Plans Yahoo Finance says it accidentally tweeted out a racial epithet when promoting a story about the cost of President-elect Donald Trump’s plans to increase the size of the U.S. Navy. The headline for the story on Yahoo Finance is, “Trump Wants a Much Bigger Navy: Here’s How Much It’ll...

Oops: CNN Apologizes After Viewer Outrage Over ‘Unfortunate’ Chyron
by Shifra on November 25, 2016OK, someone was not thinking over at CNN. Although I’m not sure “thinking” is one of CNN’s strong points. But here is the real media outrage: Rep. Keith Ellison is angling to become head of the DNC. He is well-known as an Israel-basher, he has praised his friend Louis Farrakhan, and it is now reported that his 2008 trip to the Hajj in Saudi Arabia was funded by a Muslim Brotherhood-connected organization. But crickets from the MSM. Instead, non-stop coverage of Steve Bannon and the “racist, anti-Semitic, sexist, homophobic” Breitbart News. Via Philly.com A “furious” Jake Tapper blasted CNN and his own show, The Lead, for displaying a phrase on Monday night’s show that outraged many viewers who claimed on...

Video: Tucker Carlson Battles Columnist Over Sessions, Says the NAACP’s ‘Totally Discredited’
by Tammy on November 19, 2016Nicely done by Tucker. Via Mediaite. Fox’s Tucker Carlson took a swipe at the NAACP during a segment tonight over potential next Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Carlson clashed with Roll Call columnist Jonathan Allen over his piece on why the Senate should reject Sessions. Carlson told Allen his column was a smear and “total hack job,” pressing him for examples of racism on Sessions’ part. Allen pointed to comments Sessions got in trouble for when he was up for a judgeship decades ago, his recent remarks on the Confederate flag, and how he once called the NAACP “un-American” because they were “trying to force civil rights down the throats of people.” Carlson responded, “I think the NAACP is a totally...

Pro-Trump Rep.’s CNN Feed Cut When He Mentions Hillary Wikileaks Scandal
by Shifra on October 20, 2016Just a coincidence, right? Via BizPac Review. Republican New York Rep. Chris Collins had his satellite feed cut Wednesday when he mentioned Hillary Clinton’s Wikileaks scandal on CNN. Appearing on “New Day” Collins was asked by host Chris Cuomo, who days ago erroneously claimed it was illegal for citizens to read the Wikileaks emails, about what Trump could do to come out on top” at the debate if the issue of character is mentioned. “Two thirds of the public know that Hillary Clinton’s a liar, she can’t be trusted and now the two faces of Hillary Clinton are coming out – the fact through Wikileaks she says one thing and….” Collins said before his feed was cut…. ****************************************************

[Video] Chris Wallace to Bob Woodward: Does Wash Post Also Have 20 Reporters Investigating Hillary?
by Tammy on May 15, 2016The answer in a nutshell– No. Oh, he says they will conduct and “equivalent effort” on Hillary, but we are 180 days from the general election and if that was underway we would know. If the WaPo intended to have 20 reporters investigating Hillary and planned a book with their findings, they’d have to be doing it right now, along with the Trump investigation. I have no problem with the press looking into candidates. What I’m sick of is the fact that they only do it to the GOP. Bottom line: there may be a tiny story about Hillary but they have no intention of being fair and balanced as Woodward suggests. Far from it I surmise. I would also...

[Video] Tammy On Why Media Ignores Hillary & Bernie: Because Scrutiny Hurts Them
by Shifra on April 25, 2016Tammy noted that although Sanders did better in NY than Obama in ’08, he is not really being given media scrutiny. Why not? Because, on the economy, “he’s a lunatic.” Furthermore, Hillary is not getting much attention because that would entail focusing on the FBI investigation. Tammy also noted Democrats are switching to vote Republican, because “we want a POTUS who’s not in prison. Colmes noted… well, the usual Lib talking points.

Shameful: NYT Crops President George W. Bush Out Of Selma Bridge Pic
by Shifra on March 8, 2015‘Bravo’ to the New York Times for hitting a new low, carrying the water for the Democrat Party. Via Right Scoop: The New York Times CROPS OUT George W. Bush from their SELMA front page picture …Of course there were more than 20 Republicans there, but the Democrats need to win an election, so the press will make sure to push their agenda items and narratives as much as possible. NYT front page pic: And looks like the Dems’ false narrative struck a chord with this angry, hateful Lib: @bvdbrug @latimes GOP behavior is that of an abusive spouse! Forbids members from showing respect for OBAMA or SELMA! #VOTE #DemsWin — linda kennedy (@lsk727) March 8, 2015 But, of course,...

Video: Did Brian Williams Dupe Parents Of Son Murdered By Terrorists?
by Shifra on February 20, 2015In 1996, Seth and Sherri Mandell, of Silver Spring, Maryland, moved to Israel with their four children. Yaakov (Jacob), nicknamed ‘Koby,’ was their oldest. They settled in the town of Tekoa, on the West Bank. On May 8, 2001, Koby and his best friend, Yosef Ishran, skipped school, to explore the caves near the town. When they did not return home, their parents assumed that they had taken the bus, after school, to nearby Jerusalem, to participate in a political demonstration. But when the boys did not return by midnight, the authorities were contacted. Their bodies were discovered the next morning in one of the caves. They had been bludgeoned to death with large rocks. I will spare you the...

But Will He Lose His Smug? NBC Suspends Brian Williams For 6 Months
by Tammy on February 10, 2015Without pay. Now that would affect people like us, but for a guy making $10M + a year, I don’t think he’ll notice. As I noted on the show, I’m not sure how they bring him back after this. Perhaps this is just about stopping the bleeding at this point. I can’t see him coming back, can you? And what about his replacement? Now Savannah Guthrie’s name is coming up. Ultimately, I don’t think anything can save NBC, or any of the legacy news outfits. For far too long they’ve handled the news like it’s theatre, and for the last 7 years it’s only been about protecting Obama and their other political cronies. We shall see. Via Fox News. Brian...
