2020 Martini Awards Part 5: Most Overreported Story, Most Underreported Story, Best Story of 2020

December 30, 2020 by GregC

Listen to “2020 Martini Awards Part 5: Most Overreported Story, Most Underreported Story, Best Story of 2020” on Spreaker.

Oh man, it’s media day in our year-end Three Martini Lunch awards and Jim and Greg are holding nothing back.  Specifically, they look at the stories the mainstream media covered far too much, the ones they conveniently ignored because they didn’t fit their narrative, and what they saw as the best stories of 2020.

The State of the Media

January 31, 2020 by GregC

Listen to “The State of the Media” on Spreaker.

Good luck finding a cable news outlet, newspaper, or online news site that doesn’t have a fairly obvious bias on issues ranging from impeachment to the strike that killed Gen. Soleimani to the state of our economy.

Bias has been an issue for decades but now objectivity seems to be an endangered species. How did we get this way?

In this interview with Greg Corombos, Accuracy in Media Pres. Adam Guillette describes the drastic change in media over the past several years and how media fragmentation plays a major role in that.

Guillette also discusses what media accuracy ought to look like and whether it is fair for President Trump to call some journalists purveyors of “fake news.” Finally, Guillette discusses how to fight back against false stories and which journalists he thinks get it right most of the time.

Score One for Freedom, Bloomberg’s Brazen Lie, Trusting the Taliban

September 4, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “Score One for Freedom, Bloomberg’s Brazen Lie, Trusting the Taliban” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America welcome the news that Hong Kong – at the direction of Communist China – has withdrawn the extradition bill that sparked massive protests, but they’re still not sure this story will have a happy ending.  They also pummel Bloomberg News and reporter Ben Penn for forcing the resignation of a Department of Labor appointee over an “anti-Semitic” social media post that wasn’t anti-Semitic at all.  And Jim is not at all impressed with the apparent peace plan in Afghanistan, which seems to amount to little more than trusting the Taliban not to commit terrorism or harbor terrorist groups.

Mitch Allows A Vote, Trump & Time Magazine, MSNBC & the Next Chief of Staff

December 11, 2018 by GregC

Listen to “Mitch Allows A Vote, Trump & Time Magazine, MSNBC & the Next Chief of Staff” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America react to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announcing there will be a vote on the criminal justice reform bill known as the FIRST STEP Act.  They also discuss Time magazine’s selection of Jamal Khashoggi and other murdered and persecuted journalists as the “Person of the Year” and take time to explain that no one can equate President Trump’s treatment of the media to the murders and imprisonment for the press in other parts of the world.  And they assess  MSNBC hosts Stephanie Ruhle and Ali Velshi being appalled that each person supposedly being considered by Trump to be the next chief of staff is a white male.

Booming Jobs Report, Fox & Friends & Journalism, Desperate ND Dems

November 2, 2018 by GregC

Listen to “Booming Jobs Report, Fox & Friends & Journalism, Desperate ND Dems” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America cheer a robust October jobs report, which shows 250,000 new jobs last month, rising wages, and job growth in every sector.  They also wince as Ainsley Earhardt of “Fox and Friends” says all President Trump wants from the press is to “be accurate and report the story the way that I want it reported.”  They also chronicle the pathetic flailing of North Dakota Democrats, who are now telling hunters they could lose their hunting licenses in other states if they vote in North Dakota.  And they take a moment to discuss the Green Party U.S. Senate candidate dropping out in Arizona, and Jim says the party is losing it’s greatest marketing ploy of all time.
