Fox News anchor Chris Wallace praised President Joe Biden Friday on “America’s Newsroom” for “not getting pushed around by the left” on issues like student loan forgiveness. Wallace argued that “puts him more in the center.”

Joe Biden took questions from Wisconsin residents and from Anderson Cooper at a CNN town hall event in Milwaukee on Tuesday night. We're still looking into some of the claims Biden made, so this article is not comprehensive. But we can tell you now that he made at least four false claims -- all of them involving statistics -- about the minimum wage, undocumented immigrants, China's economy and Covid-19 vaccinations. Biden also made claims that could have benefited from some additional context, that he acknowledged he might not have gotten right or that there is not solid evidence for. Here...

Fox News host Tucker Carlson has blasted America's mainstream media and says it has sunk to a new low with its 'disgusting, corrupting love affair' with President Joe Biden. Carlson also criticized the media's positive take on Biden's relationship with his wife Jill and the lack of coverage regarding first son Hunter Biden's sex scandals and history of drug problems. The host opened his show Tucker Carlson Tonight on Tuesday with the argument that the mainstream media was 'our most corrupt institution' and accused the journalists working at those outlets of telling 'outlandish' lies every day.

In his first such public appearance since the campaign, President Biden joined CNN's Anderson Cooper on stage last night in Milwaukee in a town-hall-style discussion. It did not go well... but you'd never know that if you only read the mainstream media.The president faced no pushback from Mr.Cooper for failing to denounce China’s Uyghur genocide calling it a "cultural norm", or claims that black or brown 'folks' don't know how to use the internet, that military is fueling the "growth of white supremacy, or the fact that he wakes up every morning wondering "where the hell are we?"As Summit News'...

Joe Biden traveled to Milwaukee, Wisconsin Tuesday evening to participate in a CNN presidential town hall. Biden stole Wisconsin with a big vote dump in the middle of the night after Election Day so no doubt CNN will use Democrat plants tonight during their event. Joe Biden started the night with a huge whopper of a lie. Biden told Anderson Cooper that there was no Covid vaccine when he got into office. Thanks to President Trump’s “Operation Warp Speed,” a Covid vaccine was approved and ready to be distributed by October/November. The Biden Admin inherited Trump’s vaccination program already meeting...

Unlike his most recent predecessors -- night owls who spent the dark hours reading briefing materials (President Barack Obama) or watching television (President Donald Trump) -- Biden is more of an early-to-bed type. He has continued a tradition of reading letters from Americans, a handful of which are tucked into the briefing materials he brings home in the evenings. Recently they have focused on the pandemic; Biden has also spoken by video conference with business owners and laid-off workers weathering the economic crisis. -snip And he hasn't been put off by the pack of reporters who track his every move....

The Catholic News Agency reports that, at a recent panel discussion hosted by the National Catholic Reporter, Sister Simone Campbell offered to explain President Biden’s position on abortion for us. Campbell is executive director of the “Network Lobby for Catholic Social Justice,” about which more below. What she claims about Biden’s abortion position, based on a conversation with him, is that “he has a very developed approach to it. . .for him, it hinges on religious liberty, and that he will not force his religious belief on the whole nation.” Far from being “very developed” this seems a parroting of...

The mainstream media has lost no time in falling over themselves to fawn over President Biden, but in doing so, many, the New York Times not the least among them, have made outlandish claims that are, at best, laughable, and at worst, horrifying. In an article headlined, “In Biden’s Catholic Faith, and Ascendant Liberal Christianity”, the New York Times called newly-inaugurated President Joe Biden the “most religiously observant commander in chief in half a century.” “Mr. Biden, perhaps the most religiously observant commander in chief in half a century, regularly attends Mass and speaks of how his Catholic faith grounds...

The Abraham Accords, brokered by the Trump administration, were a serious greatest diplomatic achievement by the United States. Four formerly hostile Arab nations established diplomatic relations with Israel, recognizing its right to exist and opening trade and tourism. If Donald Trump were a Democrat, that would probably earn him a Nobel Peace Prize. Compare and contrast with Barack Obama, who was nominated for the Prize within 11 days of taking office, and ultimately won it for . . . what, exactly? Does anyone recall CNN glorifying President Trump and his administration over the stunning success of the Abraham Accords? Or...

This is so bad that I could probably present the quotes in this article without comment. The Washington Post’s top “fact-checker” decided to get into a back and forth with Stephen Miller (the other one) today. It did not go well for the former. The topic of conversation was the fact that the Post is being very selective in what they even bother fact-checking when it comes to Biden, specifically on his pledge to not ban fracking during the campaign. Glenn Kessler chimes in to let it be known that they only fact-check “policy” and not general statements. That’s a...

Coverage of presidential inauguration week underperformed already-low expectations, with the usual measured accolades and sober analysis for the incoming president mostly sidelined for fawning praise and outright activism. The overall theme centered on the premise that President Biden is in essence the second coming of George Washington, who, according to popular lore, vowed never to tell a lie. Anchors and pundits returned to this theme again and again with Biden, who famously dropped out of his first presidential run due to a plagiarism scandal. Biden also claimed multiple times – including once during last year’s presidential campaign – to have...

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki predicted Sunday that President Joe Biden’s first cat would “dominate the internet” when it is publicly revealed for the first time. Psaki responded to questions about the cat in a video posted to social media where she answered questions from users on Twitter.

White House Communications Director Kate Bedingfield was interviewed Thursday morning by CNN host Alisyn Camerota regarding how the Biden administration will deal with networks that are “willfully lying” or spreading dishonest information. Camerota asked Bedingfield about a line in Biden’s inaugural speech in which he talked about fighting “lies told for power and for profit,” and if he was specifically talking about certain media outlets that allegedly lied about the 2020 election results. Camerota added in her question: “We know who they are. They are right-wing companies; some are more fringe than others, at this point, or more extreme than...

The mess that President Joe Biden inherited from former President Donald Trump is depicted on the new cover of Time. The front page of the magazine’s Feb. 1 / Feb. 8 double issue shows Biden pensively looking out of a trashed Oval Office’s window, which appears to be surrounded by flames. Graffiti is scrawled on a curtain and the Resolute Desk, which is buried under documents and fast food cartons. A telephone lies on the floor, near one of Trump’s signature red “Make America Great Again” caps and a bullhorn.

All three networks on Inauguration Day played a 90 minute special devoted to praising America and patriotism. And while one can question timing of the special (this didn’t happen four years ago), the content was positive and patriotic. ABC and NBC mostly used the half hour prior to the special with panels. CBS, however, offered a segment on how racism may finally be ending now that Joe Biden is president. Reporter Peter Van Sant re-interviewed children the network talked to during Donald Trump’s presidency. These kids were either undocumented or minorities. Apparently, though, bigotry is now finished. Talking to one...

President Biden may cast his arrival in the White House as a return to business as usual at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, but there’s at least one way he’s breaking from prevailing presidential tradition: he wears a Rolex.At his inauguration, Mr. Biden laid his hand on the family Bible wearing a stainless steel Rolex Datejust watch with a blue dial, a model that retails for more than $7,000 and is a far cry from the Everyman timepieces that every president not named Trump has worn conspicuously in recent decades.To many, a president wearing a luxury watch might not seem unusual. Shouldn’t...

The New York Times reportedly canceled an editor's contract after she tweeted that she had 'chills' watching Joe Biden land at Joint Base Andrews the day before the inauguration and slammed Trump for not sending him a government plane. Lauren Wolfe tweeted on Tuesday: 'Biden landing at Joint Base Andrews now. I have chills. 'The pettiness of the Trump admin not sending a military plane to bring him to D.C. as is tradition is mortifying.

President Joe Biden showed disgust at a reporter's question Thursday at the end of a briefing in which he signed 10 executive orders to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. Sitting at a desk as he signed the final order, Biden heard AP White House reporter Zeke Miller ask about a previously announced goal of vaccinating 100 million Americans during the administration's first 100 days. "Shouldn't you set the goal higher? That’s basically where the U.S. is right now," Miller said. Biden smirked and replied without raising his voice. "When I announced it, you all said it was not possible. C'mon, gimme...

In a decision likely to feed critics’ opinions that the major media outlets are hypocritical and biased against Republicans, the Washington Post said Wednesday it is ending a false-claims project launched at the beginning of former President Donald Trump’s term and now has “no plans” to launch a similar project as President Joe Biden begins his tenure. “The database of Trump claims was started a month after Trump became president as a way to not overwhelm our fact-checking enterprise, where the core mission is to explain complex policy issues,” Post director of communications Shani George told The Daily Caller. 0:39...

The media almost unanimously fawned over Joe Biden and the events of inauguration day with some crying over it, calling it America's 'happy ending' and gushing over new press secretary Jen Psaki who was given a remarkably warm welcome on her first day after years of hostility between the media gaggle and the person at the briefing room podium. Since Biden was inaugurated on Wednesday and even before then, some media outlets have relaxed their impartiality to welcome him and his administration with open arms. Unsurprisingly, many belong to the organizations that President Trump made enemies of throughout his presidency....
