By Dave Andrusko Each day I take a quick peek to see what appeared at National Right to Life News Today one year back. Sometimes I am amazed how I have completely forgot what myself and others had written. Other times, however, I am even more amazed how what appeared 12 months previously is even …

By Dave Andrusko Tip of the hat to Terry Mattingly of Getreligion.org. He alerted his readers to an intriguing piece (on many levels) written by Peggy Wehmeyer for the pro-abortion to the hilt Dallas Morning News. The title of her post is, “If journalists would cover abortion with impartiality, maybe they could gain the trust …

By Jeffrey Lord Fox News headlined the story this way: “Poynter forced to scrap ‘unreliable news’ list targeting conservative outlets after outcry.” That would be “Poynter” as in the “Poynter Institute”, which self-describes this way: Mission & Vision The Poynter Institute has grown from a storefront in sunny St. Petersburg, Florida, to the world’s most …

By Ryan Foley Investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson began the latest edition of her weekly syndicated show Full Measure with an in-depth report on the growing distrust of the media. The package focused heavily on the results of a poll conducted for Full Measure by pollster Scott Rasmussen, which had some devastating results for media credibility. …

By Tim Graham The establishment media is being roasted from the Right AND from the Left as the Russiagate conspiracy — as a criminal conspiracy/impeachment vehicle — has collapsed. Leftist author and former Rolling Stone political writer Matt Taibbi is well known for roasting right-wingers with overwrought personal attacks. But he’s drawing notice — even …

By Dave Andrusko Just a very few words (many more are warranted but this is the last post of the week) about a poll from the belly of the professional journalism beast—the Columbia Journalism Review—which documented how confidence in the media has hit new depths. “The survey, done in partnership with Reuters/Ipsos, interviewed 4,214 adults …

By Curtis Houck For the latest print issue of National Review dated February 11, editor Charles C.W. Cooke offered one of the best eviscerations ever of the liberal media for their odious behavior, declaring them to be “[v]ain, languid, excitable, morbid, duplicitous, cheap, insular, mawkish, and possessed of a chronic self-obsession that would have made …

By Tim Graham Investor’s Business Daily pointed to several recent media surveys that keep proving the liberal tilt of the press….even the financial press. Their editorial was titled “Pretty Much All of Journalism Now Leans Left, Study Shows.’ Researchers from Arizona State University and Texas A&M University questioned 462 financial journalists around the country. They followed …

By Annie Piper On Wednesday night’s episode of ABC’s A Million Little Things, titled “Unexpected,” Delilah (Stephanie Szostak) was grappling with an unplanned pregnancy. At first thought to be the baby of her late husband John, it is later revealed that the baby’s father is Eddie, with whom she was having an affair. Throughout the …

By Dave Andrusko Just a quick aside. The Trump-hating New York Times has a feature it calls “The Conversation” where two opinion columnists talk about a series of topics once every other week. The chat Tuesday is—even by the Times’ standards—unhinged. The loathing for President Trump has short-circuited their brains. Which in a sense is …

By Wesley J. Smith I’ve seen it again and again in my more than twenty years of opposing assisted suicide: the media promote suicide in the guise of reporting the news. Indeed, these days, it is almost a universal rule. Here’s the biased–both by what is reported and what isn’t–usual pattern: 1. Make sure the …

By Dave Andrusko Depending on who’s counting (or has the time to do an exhaustive search), between 200 and 300 newspapers sharpened their already razor-sharp knives today to slice and dice President Trump. As a near First Amendment absolutist, my response (for what it’s worth) is bully for them. From the New York Times to …
