By Sergie Daez Abortion is a humorous subject, according to Rachel Lee Goldenberg’s film, Unpregnant, and you can practically hear the guffaws from the Washington Post newsroom. Post writer Sonia Rao did some free PR for the movie, which is about two underage girls on a road trip to procure an abortion in a state …

By Corinne Weaver and Kayla Sargent Twitter isn’t just more favorable to the left — it’s wildly more supportive. The company’s trend-setting Twitter Moments account gave massively more favorable attention to the Democrat National Convention over the Republican convention. During the RNC and the DNC conventions, Twitter Moments posts were five times more favorable toward the Democrats than they …

By Dave Andrusko Reading “Can ‘Metajournalism’ Save Old Media—and Unmask Trump?”  by Seth Abramson took me way, way back to my graduate school days at the University of Minnesota in 1979-1981. I was in Journalism School at one of the very best J-schools in the country while working full-time for what was (at that juncture) …

By Tim Graham  Apparently, the proper role of the “independent fact checker” in today’s presidential campaign is to present the consistent opinion that Joe Biden is a force for truth and light, and Donald Trump is a rampaging liar who never says anything true.

It increased to 37 …

By Tim Graham  On Sunday’s Reliable Sources, CNN host Brian Stelter played his usual role as enforcer of liberal bias, insisting the networks must create an imbalance in how they cover conventions. CNN was right to allow two hours a night of Democrat advertising, he said, but the Republicans must be interrupted incessantly because it will be …

By Dave Andrusko Editor’s note. My family will be gone on vacation through August 24. During that span we’ll run prior posts from the past year that remain timely and/or were particularly well-received. We will also add a new story or two as events dictate. Two down and hopefully more to go. Fox News’ Joseph …

By Laura Echevarria, NRLC Director of Communications and Press Secretary Editor’s note. This appeared in the August digital edition of National Right to Life News. I’m hoping that you are reading the entire issue and passing its contents along to family and friends. Today’s news media has a major problem: much of the public distrusts …

By Dave Andrusko What do these three sayings have in common? Rome wasn’t built in a day. Small beginnings are the launching pad to great endings. All great things have small beginnings. They are three illustrations (of countless examples) of foundational truths that pro-lifers live by. Our Movement is Built on faith that we can …

By P.J. Gladnick Editor’s note. Sullivan’s column ran just prior to Joe Biden choosing Sen. Kamala Harris to be his running mate. Washington Post media columnist Margaret Sullivan lined up on the Left as usual and made her case for slamming vice-presidential pick critics as sexists and racists in her Tuesday column, “With Biden likely to pick a …
