MRC Exposes Network Morning Shows for Boosting Newsom and Spinning Federal Investigation as Trump Retribution

ABC, CBS, and NBC all rushed to broadcast stories echoing Gavin Newsom's claim that a federal investigation into his family finances is a political hit job. 

The MRC captured ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos repeatedly reading DNC talking points by characterizing the Department of Justice probe as a retribution campaign. 

CBS Mornings went so far as to frame the federal investigation into Newsom's finances as a potential advantage for his future presidential aspirations. 

Network journalists gaslighted viewers by withholding key facts uncovered by researchers, such as Newsom's former chief of staff recently pleading guilty to bank and wire fraud.

 

MRC Details Radical Cast of The View Unraveling Over JD Vance Visit

Vice President JD Vance entered the hostile environment of ABC's daytime talk show and successfully dismantled a barrage of partisan attacks. 

Co-host Ana Navarro launched unverified conspiracy theories alleging ICE was torturing children, prompting Vance to forcefully push back against the media lies. 

The host segment devolved into chaotic infighting when Whoopi Goldberg had to vigorously clap her hands and yell at her fellow co-hosts to go to a commercial break. 

MRC tracking shows that the show maintains an extreme double standard by hosting over one hundred liberal guests compared to just two conservative guests.

 

MRC Catches Jon Stewart Blaming Conservative Media for Reporting Real Post-Game Violence

Jon Stewart flipped the double middle finger at Fox News and Newsmax for reporting on the actual chaos and destruction that occurred in New York after the NBA Finals. 

The Comedy Central host attempted to dismiss the real-world post-game violence by falsely claiming the media coverage was a way to target a joyful and diverse celebration. 

Stewart completely ignored the destruction of a school bus and local property, instead trying to deflect blame toward January 6 and right-wing hypocrisy. 

The late-night program brought on Senator Raphael Warnock to promote his book and smear conservative politicians on their religious faith without any pushback from the host.
