Accuracy in Media

The Washington Post has a history of criticizing figures on the Right and defending those on the Left. For example, the Post attempted a myth-debunking piece on Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett to respond to criticism of Jarrett. Yet, the Post decided to take a deep dive into Trump counselor Kellyanne Conway’s “Bowling Green massacre” comments. […]

Sounds hypocritical and one-sided, doesn’t it? The New York Times, not a neutral source of news or opinion, ran an editorial board op-ed that criticized Trump adviser Steve Bannon with the title, “President Bannon?” The first paragraph sets the tone of the op-ed: Plenty of presidents have had prominent political advisers, and some of those […]

Former Obama White House press secretary Jay Carney said on CNN’s New Day Tuesday that Obama’s presidency was completely scandal-free. Carney was asked by New Day co-host Alisyn Camerota what he thought Obama’s legacy is beyond not having any personal-life scandals? “I think that it was scandal-free beyond his personal life,” Carney said. “The man’s integrity, his decency and his optimism about America […]

But, our sister organization, Accuracy in Academia (AIA) produced a “Conservative University” video with the Manhattan Institute’s Diana Furchtgott-Roth that dispels the gender pay gap myth:

Talk about bad optics. Having a closed-door meeting, instead of showing a public display of solidarity with France, doesn’t send a strong message.

The first lady of the United States is on a whirlwind publicity tour for her hefty new food and gardening book ($30), which the White House hopes will bolster Team Obama’s favorability ratings. I’d say it’s a classic recipe for rank campaign hypocrisy and media double standards. While journalists savor chummy chitchats with Mrs. Obama […]

An important revelation from author Edward Klein is the name of the Obama ally who allegedly offered a $150,000 bribe to Obama pastor Jeremiah Wright to be quiet until after the 2008 election.
