A Politico article Monday covered Parkland students’ complaints about the NRA, to include a bizarre take on how people are not allowed to carry guns to speeches by the president or vice-president. “Parkland survivors criticized the National Rifle Association after it banned guns from Vice President Mike Pence’s upcoming speech at the organization’s annual convention […]
Politico (full disclosure, my former employer) released an investigation about how “Trump thrives in areas that lack traditional news outlets,” implying that a weak local press meant citizens were less engaged and this weaker engagement correlated with support for President Trump during the 2016 election. However, Joshua Benton with Harvard University’s NiemanLab pointed out the […]
The latest government shutdown, which began Saturday morning, came to a crashing thud for Democrats in the Senate, who gave in to the Republicans and agreed to fund the government for another three weeks. Some mainstream media outlets put the party on blast for not holding firm against the GOP. Here’s a sampling of the […]
Much of the mainstream media has depicted a fantasy that President Trump is an authoritarian who would scrap the First Amendment tomorrow if the political climate would allow. But Jack Shafer at Politico said he has realized Trump is no authoritarian. In fact, Shafer thinks Trump is afraid of the press. A wimp, a bully […]
According to Politico, the Rupert Murdoch media properties seem to be coordinating their coverage, moving closer to President Trump, and, in the process, losing their last shreds of credibility. In the piece, Jason Schwartz accused the Murdoch properties of a coordinated campaign to distract from the president’s problems with the Russia investigation. As far as […]
You won’t believe the lie President Trump has been caught in now. He tweeted: “With one Yes vote in hospital & very positive signs from Alaska and two others (McCain is out), we have the HCare Vote, but not for Friday.” No senators are in the hospital. It was later confirmed Trump was referring to […]
It seems like it is an anti-Trump hit piece/narrative gone wrong. Why? The Department of Education Secretary under the Trump administration, Betsy DeVos, takes her own private plane to fly to work-related events across the country. She does not ask for reimbursement for the expenses, yet the liberal media felt it was necessary to point […]
The liberal media is overwhelmingly in favor of the Democratic Party, where only 7% of journalists are registered Republicans. It is in their best interest to blast moderates, criticize conservatives and libertarians and to protect the Democratic Party. How do we know this? AIM has documented countless examples over the years of pro-liberal and pro-Democratic […]
The liberal media finally recognized the violence that motivates Antifa (short for “anti-fascists”) extremists. In several liberal outlets, ranging from Newsweek to Politico to the Daily Beast, liberals found out that the FBI and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) warned of impending violence by “terrorist” Antifa extremists back in 2016. In other words, the Obama […]
A political cartoon at Politico mocked the state of Texas and red state voters during Hurricane Harvey, which led to significant criticism from conservatives on Twitter. Politico deleted the tweet with the political cartoon, but the damage was done.
