Evening newscasts on ABC, CBS, NBC are far more likely to criticize Republican governors than the Biden administration when covering the border crisis, according to a new study. The September U.S. Customs and Border Protection data recently revealed fiscal year 2022 ended with 2.37 million​ migrant encounters, the highest ever recorded in a fiscal year. This figure does not include the 599,000 ​known "gotaways" that CBP sources told Fox News evaded capture in the fiscal year 2022. The Media Research Center analyzed the evening newscasts on the three major broadcast networks and found that "CBS Evening News," ABC’s "World News...

Last week a 12-person jury acquitted Kyle Rittenhouse of all charges related to his shooting and killing two people and injuring a third during a Black Lives Matter protest in the summer of 2020. Rittenhouse argued that his actions were self-defense. After deliberating for four days, the jury agreed. Many expressed genuine shock about the verdict on social media, posting tweets detailing their surprise. But for Black mothers and other parents of color who spoke to "TODAY" Parents, the verdict was no surprise at all. Each of the mothers say that far too frequently, they see just how differently their...

On Sunday December 17, 2012, 2 days after the CT shooting, a man went to a restaurant in San Antonio to kill his X-girlfriend. After he shot her, most of the people in the restaurant fled next door to a theater. The gunman followed them and entered the theater so he could shoot more people. He started shooting and people in the theater started running and screaming. It’s like the Aurora, CO theater story plus a restaurant! Now aren’t you wondering why this isn’t a lead story in the national media along with the school shooting? There was an off...

CNN'a story neglects to say that it could have been done manually, but that they had ruled that out somehow. I once was a control room operator for a live TV production and though it was over 30 years ago, I remember how I could manually reproduce what was done to Cheney. One way you switch between video sources to select the one to go out over the air to move the "wiper". It looks like a T-handled lever, like an automatic transmission lever on your car's console. Except, instead of being one handle, it's split down the middle into...

WASHINGTON -- The White House has laid the groundwork to place more conservatives on the Supreme Court, snip Keenly aware that a chapter of President Bush's legacy is at stake, conservative and liberal advocacy groups are preparing for what both sides believe will be a bruising confirmation fight. snip "The vacancy could come anytime after this Memorial Day weekend, we think," said Sean Rushton, director of the conservative Committee for Justice, which has close ties to the White House counsel's office. "They have been winnowing the list down for some time now. I imagine they're down to maybe three or...

Watching CNN Headline News this morning, I was treated to another dose of CNN's unmitigated bias and hypocrisy. In a five minute story (a lot for Headline News), they expounded how much the Republican National Convention was going cost New York City. One after another, we saw a couple of shopkeepers complain that with all the security, it would keep their regular customers away, costing them money. We saw man-on-the-street taxpayers complaining that all the extra overtime for the police force would cost the city millions. Basically, how inconsiderate of the GOP to so inconvenience the people of New York...

Kerry camp's bid to deliver protest letter turned away at Bush's ranch CRAWFORD - The Vietnam attack ad controversy that has increasingly dogged the presidential campaign almost consumed the race Wednesday. Vietnam veteran and former Democratic Sen. Max Cleland traveled to President Bush's ranch, but was not allowed to give him a letter protesting ads challenging John Kerry's military service. Hours earlier, a top Bush lawyer resigned from his campaign after disclosing he had given legal advice to the veterans group behind the television ads. As both sides continued to wrestle over commercials by Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, Republican...

I contend that there is no longer anything called the Mainstream Media and such terms should be discouraged. Just as Howard Dean proclaimed himself to be the "Democratic Wing of the Democratic Party", I suggest that all Freepers strat using a new term to refer to the 78% of journalists who admit to rooting for Kerry and their equally biased "news" outlets such as the NYTIMES, LATIMES, USATODAY, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC etc.Instead of "mainstream media" let us all start using the term; the MEDIA WING of the DEMOCRATIC PARTY !WHAT ELSE COULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE?Today I emailed...

The daily criticism of America’s “failures” in Iraq makes me wonder how World War II might have been analyzed by political leaders and the media if they had applied today’s selective scrutiny. Imagine… Dateline London – June 3, 1944 CBS - “This is Edward R. Morrow, reporting from London for the CBS Radio Network… Rumors abound here of a massive invasion within the next few days, and this reporter has learned from sources speaking on condition of anonymity that such a plan is, in fact, going forward. The White House, the Pentagon and Gen. Eisenhower all vehemently deny these reports....

A day on which we remember our heroes The veterans who served and those who made the supreme sacrifice We observe Veterans Day this year knowing almost every day American men and women are dying in a far-off land. The United States began its war for independence in 1775. Nine wars have been fought since. They claimed hundreds of thousands of lives lost in combat. Hundreds of lives have been lost in military engagements not chosen to be given war status. Hundreds of thousands of lives have been lost in defense of the freedoms paid for with American lives. The...

Taylor County's uneasy tale of 2 proms By CAMERON McWHIRTER The Atlanta Journal-Constitution BUTLER -- In this corner of peach country, the biggest thing happening in early May usually is the Strawberry Festival in Reynolds, the next town over. But for the second May in a row, this county seat of 1,900 residents has drawn international media attention and sparked arguments that reached the Georgia governor's office for, of all things, its high school prom. Make that proms: one all-white, the other integrated. Last year, for the first time since Taylor County High School integrated three decades ago, the organizers...
