New York Times lead reporter Amy Chozick, who covered the Hillary Clinton campaign for the Times in 2016 and is currently writing a book on her experience, told CNN host Brian Stelter Sunday that Clinton’s recent calls for a liberal media network to compete with Fox News and other outlets shows that  it’s “almost as if […]

CNN’s Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter pointed out the latest CNN anti-Trump chyron (written words on the TV screen) on Twitter, and a Townhall columnist took CNN and Stelter to task: Not only is the network unapologetic about its cheerleading for Hillary Clinton while demeaning Trump, but some of the anchors are even bragging about […]

CARNEY: It is […]

Media critic Howard Kurtz, who recently left his hosting gig on CNN’s Reliable Sources, will debut his new program MediaBuzz Sunday on Fox News.

On Sunday’s Reliable Sources on CNN, New York Times public editor Margaret Sullivan admitted that the paper does have a liberal bias.
