In America, we'd like to think that we have a news media but, in fact, what we have is captured corporate propagandists passing themselves off to the public as news media. Anyone needing proof of this need look no further than ABC News Chief White Correspondent Mary Bruce’s interview, if we are to call it that, with Vice President Kamala Harris.

12 days remain to Election Day, and that means there are 12 days left in this election cycle for ABC News to continue to distinguish themselves as the most comically sycophantic pro-Harris network evening newscast.

ABC, CBS, and NBC evening news shows all led into the impending arrival of Hurricane Milton by promoting President Biden and Vice President Harris trashing Donald Trump for spreading hurricane "misinformation." Only NBC allowed the view that the Federal Emergency Management Agency might not be doing a stellar job after Hurricane Helene.

The Regime Media have developed a Strange New Respect for conservative Republicans of a certain inclination, now that they can be used as rungs on a ladder that leads to Republicans voting for Vice President Kamala Harris. The most prominent of these, former Congresswoman Liz Cheney, was prominently featured on the network evening newscasts.

The Regime Media, which had zero interest in Melania Trump while she was First Lady of the United States, has developed a sudden interest now that she has come out in favor of abortion. This sudden interest is fueled by the opportunity to create the illusion of a wedge between the former President and First Lady.

As a recent NewsBusters study shown, ABC News was 100 percent in the tank for the Harris-Walz campaign. So, it was no surprise that during the network’s analysis of the vice presidential debate hosted by CBS on Tuesday, that their journalists would largely stay away from admitting that Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) had a pretty bad performance between his lies about being in Tiananmen Square, his…

We weren’t kidding when we told you that ABC News is by far the most biased of the three broadcast network news divisions. An earlier MRC study found that Vice President Kamala Harris drew 100% positive coverage, while former President Donald Trump’s coverage was 93% negative. And yet ABC found a way to outdo themselves.

On Monday, ABC’s World News Tonight anchor David Muir felt compelled to double down on his fake fact check of former President Trump from the September 10 debate by touting a new FBI report claiming “a dramatic drop in violent crime” and contrary to what voters feel. But, as per the great John Lott Jr. of Crime Prevention Research Center, it’s not as simple as the pro-Kamala Harris…

Not even Sunday’s close call with a would-be assassin could interrupt the liberal TV networks’ barrage of bad press against Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

The debate tone was set with the first question. Debate co-moderator David Muir, ABC’s news managing editor, asked Vice President Kamala Harris: “I want to begin tonight with the issue voters repeatedly say is their No. 1 issue ... When it comes to the economy, do you believe Americans are better off than they were four years ago?”

It wasn’t a hard call. At this point in the history of televised debates, a history that began with the 1960 Kennedy-Nixon debates ( 64 years ago!!) and has continued on with a seemingly endless stream of both Republican vs. Democrat nominee debates plus Republican vs. Republican and Democrat vs. Democrat nomination debates, one would think ABC would have learned a thing or two.

Sitting in on Friday for host and NewsBusters Executive Editor Tim Graham, Associate Editor Nick Fondacaro and I dove into an absurd Los Angeles Times profile celebrating ABC’s debate co-moderator Linsey Davis for, along with co-moderator David Muir, interjecting for so-called fact-checks of Donald Trump. 

New York Times’ media reporter Michael Grynbaum made Wednesday’s paper with the smugly confident post-presidential debate “Media Memo,” “ABC’s Matter-of-Fact Moderators Built Factual Guardrails Around Trump.” He wrote: "Using calm and authoritative tones, Mr. Muir and Ms. Davis offered a model for real-time fact-checking that has been absent from many recent presidential debates."

In the lead-up to this week’s presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, the polls showed a dead heat, both nationally and in seven swing states. The 2024 race is, by all measures, the closest presidential race we have seen in our lifetimes. But the usual presidential math applies The person upon whom the race becomes a referendum loses.
