The headline of New York Times’ latest article, “In Ann Coulter, Signs that Conservatives are Emboldened,” portrayed conservatives as being aggressive in expressing their right of the freedom of speech. Doesn’t that sound slanted and biased, already? Well, it is. When you read the article, it goes on and said that Coulter is an “acid-penned conservative […]

The heckler’s veto won at University of California-Berkeley, once considered a bastion of free speech (mostly from the left-wing perspective). A heckler’s veto is when protesters and hecklers “veto,” shout down or shut down speeches and events in a disruptive manner. The group that sponsored conservative commentator Ann Coulter’s speech, Young America’s Foundation, said it […]

Without mentioning why the network saw fit to run an article that tried to explain the nuances of the application of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, not mentioning that the article was (most likely) published in light of ongoing controversy over free speech on college campuses.

It commemorates the Free Speech Movement that began at Berkeley in the 1960s. It should be moved. On February 1 on that campus, a mob pepper-sprayed […]

NBC Bay […]

The CBS News article focused on the University of California-Berkeley chancellor’s statement once the news of Nicolas Leslie’s death was confirmed among the dead in Nice, France. But, there was no mention of the role of radicalization or radical Islam in the truck attack on tourists and civilians alike on Bastille Day.

A NBC News article which announced the death of an American college student who attended Cal-Berkeley, Nicolas Leslie, mentioned that a “deranged man” used the truck to kill 84 people on Bastille Day in the fourth paragraph. The lone mention of radical Islam was in the ninth paragraph, but it didn’t mention Islam and blamed radicalization. Scrubbing […]
