Journolism: The Credentialed Media Don’t Exactly Lie, But They Conceal Politically Incorrect Facts

No, that’s not a typographical error in the title: the spelling ‘journolist’ or ‘journolism’ comes from JournoList, an email list of 400 influential and politically liberal journalists, the exposure of which called into question their objectivity. We use the term ‘journolism’ frequently when writing about media bias. Journalism at least used to be a profession …

What the Credentialed Media Don’t Tell You Is As Important As What They Do

The in-school assault was serious enough that several credentialed media sources reported on it, and how the school was warned, in advance, that the attack would occur, and did nothing. But you know what all of the media sources I linked did not mention? It has been reported by the Daily Mail that the assailant …

Journolism: The Credentialed Media Don’t Actually Lie, But They Conceal Politically Incorrect Facts

We have said it before: the journolists¹ of the credentialed media don’t outright lie to us, but they are very good at not mentioning politically incorrect facts. For instance, we recently reported that The Philadelphia Inquirer, our nation’s third oldest continuously published daily newspaper, made no mention at all of the murder of 19-year-old Nafiese …

Journolism: The Credentialed Media Don’t Exactly Lie to Us, But They Conceal Politically Incorrect Facts in a Biased Manner

We have previously reported that today’s professional journalists rarely deliberately lie to us, but that they often omit rather important parts of the story. This was an Associated Press story, an ostensibly straight news piece, in which the writer managed to omit the most important part of the story. Read on and you’ll see why …

The New York Times Thought We Wouldn’t Notice, But We Did!

When people show you who they are, believe them! In the first Avengers movie, Robert Downey, Jr, as Tony Stark, spots a SHIELD technician playing a video game at his terminal, and says, loudly, “That man is playing Galaga. He thought we wouldn’t notice, but we did.” The tech quickly shuts down Galaga and returns …

If you’re indicted, you’re invited! Journalism Is Dead

As with every political party, there exists a broad spectrum in terms of extremity among Democrats, whose members range from the sane, such as Bill Maher and George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley, to the rabid, such as Fox News’ token liberal Juan Williams and the New York Times’ Frank Bruni.  Obviously, I am …

The Associated Press Will Happily Tell You What Their Biases Are . . . If You Pay Them!

Associated Press

We have frequently mocked The Philadelphia Inquirer’s very much unpublished stylebook, a manual and guide concerning how things should be expressed, in its use of “Black and brown” to refer to minority communities. While I cannot document this, it appears that the Inquirer use the Associated Press Stylebook, which was modified , in June of …

Fox News Dominates Weekly Ratings, Nearly Double MSNBC – And It’s Really Bad for CNN

Buoyed by their coverage of the President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address, Fox News swept both the primetime and total day cable viewership categories for the week of February 6-12. Fox averaged 2.5 million viewers for the week, compared to 1.3 million for MSNBC and just 719,000 for CNN, according to Nielsen live-same-day …

GOP Congressman Turns Table on CBS Anchor Trying to Implicate Republicans

Mark Twain quote

It took about a nanosecond for Democrats to start blaming Republicans for the brutal hammer attack on Paul Pelosi by a deranged man early Friday morning. Immediately and collectively, the left ran with the narrative that violent right-wing rhetoric had inspired David DePape, a mentally ill, homeless drug addict, to break into House Speaker Nancy …

The Philadelphia Inquirer, Which Declines to Print the Photos of Criminals Who Are Black, Sure Is Willing If The Perp Is White.

Philadelphia Inquirer, Building

That the perp is a former police officer is just icing on the cake for the Inky! As we have previously noted, The Philadelphia Inquirer chose not to publish the photos of Quadir Jones, charged in the rape of a 13-year-old girl leaving a SEPTA train station on her way to school, or Yaaseen Bivins, …

When a Media Outlet Can Decide a Presidency Is Over, It Has Too Much Power

The liberal media has been moving away from the practice of journalism for years. Once Donald Trump arrived on the scene, it was abandoned altogether. The media collectively embraced activism. And the New York Times has led the way. The extraordinary power of the Times to not only influence events, but to shape events, cannot …
