Posted by William A. Jacobson on April 13, 2020 24 Comments

Today's Wuhan coronavirus press briefing was an amazing event. First, Anthony Fauci eviscerated claims in the media that Trump refused to follow mitigation recommendations soon enough.

Pentagon rejects ABC News claim of November 2019 report warning of Wuhan coronavirus pandemic

Posted by William A. Jacobson on April 09, 2020 27 Comments

It's amazing how much mainstream media political coverage of the Wuhan caronavirus pandemic resembles Russia-collusion reporting. With Russia-collusion reporting, there were serial media bombshells of collusion based on anonymous sources how were "familiar" with a document or heard something from someone.

Someone just learned he needs to come to class prepared in case the teacher calls on him

I just can't bring myself tonight to write a heavy post about the economic destruction being forced on tens of millions of people based on models which are appearing, day by day, to have wildly overstated the threat of Wuhan coronavirus. I stand by my original assessment on March 9, Swine Flu and Me:

Trump Press Conferences a massive ratings hit

Posted by William A. Jacobson on March 25, 2020 54 Comments

The other day I noted thatRachel Maddow and others call on networks not to broadcast Trump coronavirus press conferences. I pointed out that the claim by Maddow and others is that Trump presents a false or misleading view of the health problem, but in fact it is Maddow and other liberal talking heads who present the misleading view of events:

Dr. Anthony Fauci: Press unfairly trying to “pit” him against Trump

Posted by William A. Jacobson on March 24, 2020 23 Comments

The anti-Trump mainstream media is trying to portray Dr. Anthony Fauci as in some sort of conflict with Trump, with Trump as the villain. The New York Times wrote, Trump Has Given Unusual Leeway to Fauci, but Aides Say He’s Losing His Patience

Rachel Maddow and others call on networks not to broadcast Trump coronavirus press conferences

Donald Trump's daily press conferences, attended by numerous senior health and other officials, are a must-watch. Enormous information is provided by officials, and Trump signals where he thinks the crisis is going. Trump spends an hour or more taking reporter questions, some of which are hostile.

The press created Russiagate and now they must deal with the consequences

Posted by New Neo on March 25, 2019 56 Comments

Yesterday it was all about the Mueller report and the Barr letter. Today the news and commentary seems to be focusing more on the press itself: will the MSM ever own up to the magnitude of their mistake/lies (I very much doubt it)? How much has their coverage of Russiagate damaged their reputation, and with whom? And do they even recognize how much this has damaged their reputation? What will their next move be?

Victor Davis Hanson: Trump as tragic hero out of Greek Myth

Posted by New Neo on February 23, 2019 34 Comments

Victor Davis Hanson has given a fascinating interview to Isaac Chotiner of The New Yorker. The interview is well worth reading for the thesis that Hanson, a classics professor and military historian, offers about Trump.

Politicians and lies: How the media forgot the difference between opinion and fact

Posted by New Neo on January 14, 2019 20 Comments

The title of this article by Holman Jenkins intrigued me: "Politicians Never Lied Before Trump," and so I clicked on it. I was almost certain that the title was sarcastic---of course, politicians lie often, and have done so since time immemorial---and sure enough, the title was indeed meant as sarcasm. It seems completely obvious to me that one of the most common activities of politicians is to lie. To some extent, politics almost demands it, depending on how one defines "lie." Is a bragging exaggeration a lie? Is an optimistic promise a lie? How exaggerated does it have to be before it becomes a lie rather than mere hyperbole?

New York Times Called Out for Anti-Trump Bias by Former Executive Editor

Posted by Mike LaChance on January 03, 2019 8 Comments

Media bias against Republicans has always existed but has reached a new high in the age of Trump. Talking heads on cable news frequently blur the lines between news and opinion. Supposed journalists openly root against Trump and for his opponents. It has gotten so bad that even Jill Abramson, the former executive editor of the New York Times is calling out the "paper of record" over bias.

White House restores Jim Acosta’s press pass, issues new rules

Posted by William A. Jacobson on November 19, 2018 87 Comments

Jim Acosta and CNN were granted a Temporary Restraining Order on Friday, November 16, 2018, restoring Acosta's White House "hard pass," to allow him privileged access to the White House grounds for press briefings and other events, pending further court action. The White House promptly announced that it would promulgate rules governing press conduct and discipline, to address the court's concern that Acosta was not afforded due process.
