Former ESPN Host Sparks Backlash Over Caitlin Clark Commentary

OutKick reports that ex-ESPN announcer Cindy Brunson dismissed Caitlin Clark’s 37-point game as unimpressive due to the late-game margin while praising Angel Reese’s rebound record; Brunson doubled down on social media, later deleting posts amid accusations of racism and a personal vendetta against Clark and Cunningham. The piece argues Brunson’s remarks undermine her credibility, frames the coverage as biased and partisan, and highlights Clark’s historic 30-point, 10-assist games as evidence of what the article calls a broader media bias in WNBA coverage. It suggests the discourse around race and competition has fueled toxicity in the sport’s media landscape.

Ex-ABC Reporter Claims Newsroom Bias Fueled by Narrow Viewpoints

Former ABC News correspondent Terry Moran says the network is liberal due to a lack of viewpoint diversity, recounting internal emails urging fair Trump coverage and noting clashes with liberal colleagues; ABC says it did not renew his contract in 2025 after a deleted post and remains committed to impartial reporting, while Moran argues there is no true objectivity in journalism but he aimed to be fair.

Ex-ABC Reporter Blames Network Bias on Missing Pro-Trump Voices

Former ABC News correspondent Terry Moran asserts ABC News is a 'liberal institution' due to a lack of viewpoint diversity, arguing Trump coverage suffered from a bubble where no pro-MAGA voices existed; Moran says his ABC reporting was fair but was let go after criticizing Trump and Stephen Miller on The Fifth Column, and he’d have preferred to publish such critiques in The New Yorker.

OutKick accuses WNBA coverage of bias after Carrington-Cunningham incident

OutKick argues that after DiJonai Carrington’s flagrant-2 foul on Sophie Cunningham, WNBA media defended Carrington and downplayed the hit while her ‘WHITE PRIVILEGE’ post was highlighted as evidence of race-influenced coverage, calling for equal scrutiny of players’ actions regardless of race and pointing to past incidents as context.

The 'turning tide' myth: media hype vs. Ukraine's battlefield reality

The 'turning tide' myth: media hype vs. Ukraine's battlefield reality

Western media’s claim that Ukraine has turned the tide is challenged as detached from battlefield realities: drone gains, while dramatic, do not derail Russia’s long-term campaign, and there is no clear military path for Kyiv to secure victory. The piece argues that ongoing coverage distracts from the need for diplomacy and a negotiated settlement, warning that more aid and hype may prolong the war rather than end it.

Belfast’s Fury, Media Silence, and the Immigration Debate

An opinion piece claiming Belfast’s June riots followed a stabbing by a Sudanese asylum seeker and highlight a broader pattern of immigration-driven tension. The author argues Western media and leaders obscure the policy causes of social unrest, urging introspection on immigration vetting, integration, and policy choices rather than blaming “fascist” street violence. The piece asserts that elite narratives suppress honest inquiry into root causes and warns that ignoring grievances could fuel further conflict.

Bezos tells Trump Washington Post was his worst investment before a sweeping newsroom purge

Bezos reportedly told Donald Trump that the Washington Post was his worst investment, calling its staff 'terrible' and saying they don't listen, per excerpts from a forthcoming book. About two months later he ordered a sweeping downsizing at the Post, cutting roughly a third of its newsroom, including photographers and the sports section, as the paper embraced a new editorial stance built on personal liberties and free markets.

Balancing Bias at the NYT: From Kristof’s Gaza piece to Hamas allegations under scrutiny

Balancing Bias at the NYT: From Kristof’s Gaza piece to Hamas allegations under scrutiny

Robin Andersen argues the New York Times’ effort to “balance” Nicholas Kristof’s documented piece on the sexual violence against Palestinians with Isabel Kershner’s follow-up on Hamas relies on disputed sources and pro‑Israel framing, reviving a debunked narrative and prompting calls for independent oversight of the paper’s coverage. The piece highlights ties between Kershner and Israeli institutions, critiques the use of unverified claims, and contends the pattern reflects a broader media bias in reporting on Israel/Palestine rather than a neutral pursuit of truth.

Hen Mazzig Questions The Times’ Israel Coverage: Eurovision Soft Power and a Controversial Op-Ed

Hen Mazzig Questions The Times’ Israel Coverage: Eurovision Soft Power and a Controversial Op-Ed

Hen Mazzig argues that The New York Times’ two Israel-related pieces published May 11 — a front-page Eurovision soft-power investigation and Nicholas Kristof’s op-ed on Palestinian sexual violence — reflect a troubling pattern of coverage. He notes the Eurovision piece found no rule violations or bots, highlights that many countries engage in similar campaigning, and questions the framing and timing. He also criticizes Kristof’s column for relying on a Hamas-linked group for unproven claims about rape and dogs, while the Times defends it as opinion. Mazzig says the Times needs a serious reckoning to restore credibility with Jewish readers, especially since a Hamas-violence report released the same week received little attention.

Trump Reflects on WHCD Shooting: Unity, Security Upgrades, and Political Claims

In a wide-ranging post-dinner interview, Trump recounts the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting, praising Secret Service for quickly shielding him and the first lady and describing how they evacuated to safety. He characterizes the shooter as a sick, “lone wolf” whose manifesto targeted administration figures, asserts his own policy wins, and attacks media bias and Democratic critics. Trump also calls for tighter security and outlines planned upgrades to the ballroom, expresses a desire to return to the event, and reiterates his belief that online extremism is driving violence while defending his broader political stance.

Defending Cuban Aid Against Media Smears

Two Current Affairs writers recount joining the Nuestra América aid convoy to Cuba, defend the mission against right-wing criticism and perceived hypocrisy, argue the U.S. fuel blockade is the root cause of Cuba’s crisis, and highlight the tangible aid delivered by volunteers while urging readers to judge policy by its humanitarian impact rather than selective reporting or hotel-room criticisms.
