Media Reality Check

Former President Donald Trump was arraigned for the third time on Thursday and the cable networks of MSNBC and CNN once again obsessed over the matter to the detriment of coverage of any other topic.

On the day that Devon Archer, a business associate and longtime friend of Hunter Biden, testified before the House Oversight committee, CNN and MSNBC instead flooded the airwaves with their favorite topic: Donald Trump. Between 6:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. eastern, CNN and MSNBC made a combined 759 mentions of Donald Trump, while at the same time mentioning Devon Archer just 48 times.

According to NBC News, a “landmark study” by 27 “academic researchers” has concluded that conservatives in America are far more likely than their left-wing counterparts to consume news from untrustworthy sources. We’re all supposed to take this immensely seriously, but even a cursory look at the study reveals a host of embarrassing problems with the methodology.

The self-edit buttons are completely off when it comes to leftist journalists discussing GOPers like Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott. They just let any horrific description or charge fly out of their mouths. The following are some of the most outrageous outbursts from lefty media-types and celebrities from the month of July: 

Just as we finished up our study looking at the last nine and a half months of border coverage, the broadcast networks began shrieking in disgust at a line of red buoys that Texas Governor Greg Abbott had installed in the Rio Grande. Over the past week their buoy-induced wailing has already eclipsed the airtime given to issues like child labor and drug smuggling since October of 2022.

On their July 19 evening shows and July 20 morning shows CBS and NBC actually covered the IRS whisteblower congressional testimony for a total of 11 minutes, 13 seconds — and then immediately dropped it. The last mention came on their July 20 morning shows. 
Even more shameful? ABC…

The latest figures from the U.S. government show that while monthly border encounters decreased somewhat in June, they are still nearly twice as high as they were when President Biden first took office in January of 2021. But despite overcrowded processing facilities and thousands of unauthorized daily crossings, ABC, CBS, and NBC’s flagship evening newscasts prefer to cover the crisis from…

During the January 6 hearings, CNN and MSNBC would condemn Fox News in the harshest and most hyperbolic of ways if it chose to not cover the them live. However, when it came to Wednesday’s House Oversight hearing on two IRS whistleblowers alleging improper interference in the Hunter Biden investigation, the two networks did not cover the hearings live. Worse than that, the networks spent nine…

Over 39 days (June 8-morning of July 18) the Big Three (ABC, CBS, NBC) broadcast networks crammed their evening, morning and Sunday roundtable shows with a total of 527 minutes of coverage dedicated to the Trump indictment. But how much did the Biden/Burisma alleged bribery scheme receive? Zero seconds.

Left-wing media hacks were really outraged by the Supreme Court conservatives’ decisions this month. MSNBCers like Joy Reid raged against the Court’s “anti-blackness” having erased “70 years of protected rights.” The Nation’s Elie Mystal disgustingly called Justice Clarence Thomas “A mutilated version of a black justice,” and sneered that Justice John Roberts was the “enemy of black…

An eyewitness with stunning claims about the Biden family scandals has come forward on a video, yet so far ABC, CBS and NBC have yet to report on them.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has been widely criticized for her inability to field even basic inquiries about the scandals plaguing President Biden. Despite the President’s January 2021 pledge to “bring transparency and truth back to the government,” Jean-Pierre has failed to answer practically every such question she’s faced.

Over the years, the Media Research Center has caught journalists ridiculing and deriding America. The following is a countdown of the Media’s 20 Worst Anti-American Outbursts (as culled from the MRC’s archives).

From the evening of June 22 through the morning of June 24 ABC, CBS and NBC (on their evening and morning shows) spent a grand total of 5 minutes, 3 seconds devoted to the 2017 WhatsApp text message from Hunter Biden trying to shake down a Chinese businessman.
