White House Whips Liberal Media for Not Being Pro-Biden Enough

President Joe Biden speaks to media on White House lawn

The White House sent a memo to news organizations telling to push back on Republicans for opening an impeachment inquiry into Joe and Hunter Biden’s foreign influence peddling. The media are willingly complying. Pictured: President Joe Biden departs the White House and approaches the press corps on June 28. (Photo: Bill O’Leary, The Washington Post/Getty Images)

When President Joe Biden’s aide Ian Sams wanted to leak his strongly worded memo to “Editorial Leadership at U.S. News Media Organizations,” he chose CNN media reporter Oliver Darcy, who is one of many enthusiastic White House spinners at CNN. Darcy and CNN didn’t have enough self-respect to push back on Sams for implying they needed to be lectured on going soft on Republicans.

Instead, in reporting this administration’s “breaking” list of demands, the incredibly servile Darcy claimed Sams was right.

“While news organizations have published innumerable fact checks on the matter, they have also often failed to robustly call out the mis- and disinformation peddled by Republicans in their coverage,” wrote Darcy. It’s “frustrating officials in the Biden White House who believe that the news media should be doing more to dispel lies that saturate the public discourse.”

Try to figure out how the press can publish “innumerable fact checks” and yet they still “robustly” failed to “call out” misinformation. Neither the Sams memo nor the Darcy report elaborated on which “lies” about the Bidens are “saturating” the discourse.

Conservatives on Twitter mocked this memo, as if the pro-Biden media needed a public whipping, as if they haven’t been carrying barrels of Biden water for years.

One could suggest that the Republicans are rushing into impeachment and devaluing its seriousness. But you could not credibly forward this argument if you are a Democrat or a member of the “mainstream media,” which twice devalued impeachment against Donald Trump.

The “PBS NewsHour” doubled down on the Darcy spit-and-polish approach by putting Sams on taxpayer-funded TV so he could repeat all the Carvillesque talking points in his memo.

No “fact-checker” at PBS was going to lift a finger as Sams proclaimed the polar opposite of the truth: “The truth is that the president was never in business with his family and that these lies and false attacks that are coming from Republicans, with no evidence, no evidence to back them up, are in fact lies.”

PBS co-host Amna Nawaz should have at the very least challenged Sams to specify what’s a “lie” and made him answer for Biden’s lies in the final 2020 presidential debate: “My son has not made money in terms of this thing about, what are you talking about, China … the only guy who made money from China is this guy [Donald Trump]. He’s the only one. Nobody else has made money from China.”

Washington Post “fact-checker” Glenn Kessler gave Biden four Pinocchios on that lie … on Aug. 1, 2023.

Biden also denied Trump’s allegation in the first 2020 debate that Hunter made “a fortune in Ukraine, in China, in Moscow, and various other places.”

Back in August 2019, Biden boldly proclaimed, “I have never discussed with my son, or my brother, or anyone else, anything having to do with their businesses, period.”

The contents of the Hunter Biden laptop underlined the dramatic dishonesty of this statement, as has the testimony to those supposedly “lying” House Republicans. They documented that Joe Biden lied about never discussing the family influence-peddling business on at least 16 occasions. He lied to reporters. In a perfect world, one would expect the entire media would object and correct the record.

The Sams memo implies that our “objective” media are far too objective. That’s ridiculous. But it’s clear that Democrats—inside and outside the White House—expect journalists to practice 100% compliance with Democrat spin. Professionalism equals propaganda.

Mainstream Media’s Liberal Slant Unequivocally Proven in New Study


Reported By Andrew West |  September 12, 2017

URL of the original posting site: http://constitution.com/liberal-mainstream-media-slant-unequivocally-proven-new-study/

From the moment that Donald Trump entered the presidential fray in 2016, it was well understood that he would be engaged in a massive media battle.

The mainstream media has been on a steady decline in recent years, succumbing to a downward spiral of salaciously ridiculous entertainment and liberalism.  The content contained within the catacombs of CNN, NBC, the New York Times, and others has become farcical at best, fascist at worst.

Enter Trump:  The no-rules, Washington outsider with a penchant for putting phonies and cranks in their place.

All along the campaign trail, The Donald duked it out with reporters, outlets, and spin-doctors alike, with instantaneous lightning bolts of reality being fired directly from his massively powerful Twitter account.  If the media slanted something to the left, Trump was quick to bring a dose of reality into the situation in 140 characters or less. 

In return, the mainstream media turned up the heat exponentially, lambasting the Commander in Chief in new and reprehensible ways.  To put it lightly, it was an onslaught.

Trump was suddenly endowed with a thousand new, insulting characteristics as the media miscreants lashed out in vengeance.  The President was now a bigot, a racist, a tax cheat, a Kremlin operative, and a man who enjoys incest.

The entire mainstream media had lost their minds.

Now through the power of analytics, we can quantify just how terribly one-sided all of this presidential coverage has been, and the numbers are astounding. 

“Since Inauguration Day (January 20), Media Research Center analysts have reviewed every mention of President Trump and top administration officials on ABC’s World News Tonight, the CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News, including weekends. As of August 31, coverage of the administration has totaled nearly 74 hours (4,418 minutes) of airtime, or about 39 percent of all evening news coverage.

“For comparison purposes, coverage of the Obama administration in all of 2015 and 2016 totaled 59 hours (3,544 minutes), or roughly 10 percent of the available broadcast airtime. In other words, Trump has already received more coverage in his first 224 days in office than Obama received in his final two years as President.

“Analyzing the networks’ spin makes it clear that the goal of all of this heavy coverage is not to promote the President, but to punish him. In June, July and August, broadcast evening news coverage of Trump was 91 percent negative — worse than the astounding 89 percent negative spin we calculated during the first three months of the administration, usually a traditional honeymoon period for new presidents.”

Again, it is likely that Trump’s policies are not the impetus for this horrifically skewed coverage of the Commander in Chief, rather, it is the threat that Trump poses to the mainstream media that has these overpaid liberal lackeys attacking him so viciously.

The American people sent an extremely strong message to the media establishment in the election of 2016:  There will be no more business as usual.  The election of Trump was a clear warning shot to the powers that be that We The People are taking our nation back from the corporate interests, lobbying groups, and entertainment industry.

The mainstream media is about to feel the wrath of America The Beautiful, and they’ll likely be left looking frightfully unnecessary.
