When reporting on a significant First Amendment case before the Supreme Court, NPR correspondent Nina Totenberg omitted any mention of former California attorney general and current Vice President Kamala Harris. But it was during Ms. Harris’s tenure as attorney general that private information about donors to politically disfavored conservative-leaning nonprofits were “inadvertently” exposed by the state and death threats to donors ensued.

Remember When Sharks & Jets Had Enough Sense to Flee from Officer Krupke?
Even after being widely criticized yesterday for their preposterous defense of a knife-wielding, fatherlessly out-of-control juvenile, much of the left-wing media persist for a third day in trying to divide our nation further along racial lines by clouding facts that plainly justified her tragic shooting by police in Columbus, Ohio.

Ask the Young Lady Saved by Columbus Police About ‘Excessive’ Force
Judging from their coverage thus far, yet another police shooting of yet another fatherlessly out-of-control minority youth seems to have convinced much of our media and the progressive cognescenti they turn to for moral guidance on Twitter that it’s time for society to accept teenage knife fights as no big thang and for them damn pigs to just back the hell off.

What’s the Conviction Rate for Civilian Murder Suspects? WaPo Doesn’t Want Us to Know.
The Washington Post and other left-wing media want their readers, viewers and listeners to buy into their propaganda about “racist killer cops,” so they often withhold pesky data that don’t buttress that propaganda. Such was the case today in a front page Post story in the aftermath of the Chauvin conviction in Minneapolis. Read more…
A Do-Over Won’t Help Outmoded Union at Amazon
The recently embarrassing wholesale failure by organized labor to unionize Amazon has put Washington Post reporters covering the story in a tricky position. Their hearts, like most in the progressive media, are with anti-capitalist union comrades. But their paychecks come from uber capitalist and newspaper hobbyist Jeff Bezos. Read more…
Without Evidence, Veteran Columnist Claims Trump & Loyalist Plotted Post-Election Coup
With nothing approaching solid evidence, veteran Washington Post columnist David Ignatius is effectively accusing former President Trump and one of his particularly loyal operatives of seeking “control of the nation’s intelligence and military command centers” as part of a failed post-election coup plot. Even by The Post’s fast-eroding standards, such breathlessly groundless storytelling comprises a stunning debasement of Mr. Ignatius’s once sound reputation. Read more…
Fighting Fire with Fire
Washington Post media reporter Jeremy Barr seems to have developed an Ahab-like obsession with top-rated Fox News host Tucker Carlson. Barr today tries again, unsuccessfully, to harpoon his White Whale, falsely painting the gentle cable leviathan as the aggressor in a war of doxing and dirty tricks that, in fact, the radical left started long ago. Read more…
‘Brief Stretch’? WaPo Again Distorts the Facts to Suit Its ‘Racist Cops’ Narrative.
As usual, Washington Post reporters were again willing to distort the facts about an ultimately violent police encounter in order to make the story a better fit for their false “racist cops” narrative. Read more…
Perhaps Hopeless in a Woke World, Young Conservative’s Suicide Is Coal Mine Canary
The Washington Post’s reporting of a bright but troubled Maryland teenager’s apparent suicide laudably stops short of directly blaming police for the tragedy. But as suicide rates among young and old rise nationwide, our media assiduously avoid any discussion of their own culpability in creating the confusion and hopelessness that many are experiencing in our rapidly changing and increasingly intolerant society.

Third-Party Newsmaker’s Email Proves Post Reporter Withheld Truth
As D.C. police investigate nine new homicides and 24 assaults with deadly weapons in just the past month in the District’s notoriously murderous Ward 8, concerned residents there met Monday night to discuss ways to reduce the violence. But Washington Post reporter Clarence Williams chose to withhold from readers the fact that meeting participants discussed rampant fatherlessness, by far the most prevalent root of urban chaos.
