NewsBusters Podcast: Maddow, Tapper, & Colbert Reach Convention Climax
The end of a Democrat convention really draws out proclamations of Historic Possibilities, and Rachel Maddow, Jake Tapper, and Stephen Colbert stood out in the gushfest. It's quite a contrast with how all the anchors summarized Donald Trump's acceptance speech.
CBS Swoons Kamala’s DNC Speech Was ‘Feat of Political Athleticism’
Despite co-host, Obama family friend, and Kamala Harris donor Gayle King getting an early start on the weekend, Friday’s CBS Mornings still had plenty of partisan lunacy reacting to the final night of the Democratic National Convention and describing Kamala Harris’s speech that “echo[ed] Obama” and “[brought] down the house” with “[t]he sound of history” and “a feat of political…
Politico Aids Post-Convention Kamala Push By Floating ‘Movement’ Label
This satirical blog critiques Politico's efforts to market “movement” as a term to describe Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign. Michael Kruse of Politico is tasked with promoting this concept, albeit with apparent mockery. The blog lampoons various Democratic strategists who liken Harris to figures like JFK and FDR, highlighting the absurdity of their comparisons. Ultimately, the article…
Australia Transgender Case Re-Defines What a Woman Is
A landmark Australian Federal Court decision has ruled that sex is changeable, finding the girls-only social app Giggle guilty of gender identity discrimination against transgender woman Roxanne Tickle. Tickle sued after being denied access to the platform, alleging unlawful discrimination. The court ordered Giggle to pay $10,000 plus legal costs, stating long-established cases support that…
Morning Joe: ‘Patriotism Fully Reclaimed’ As DNC ‘Flags Got Bigger’
The party that constantly wants to fundamentally change America into a facsimile of a socialist European state apparently really loves America, according to the stacked panel of liberals on Friday’s Morning Joe. The MSNBC gaggle seriously suggested that the size of the flags at the Democratic National Convention showed a correlation to their love of America; further insisting that, by…
NBC Hails ‘Moderate’ Kamala’s ‘Impassioned’ DNC Speech
NBC’s Today couldn’t measure up to the hackery on ABC and CBS Friday morning in recapping the final day of Democratic National Convention, but they still delivered plenty of pathetic lines cheering “moderate” Vice President Kamala Harris’s “impassioned speech framing the election in historic terms...and delivering a searing rebuke of” Donald Trump but hoping to govern from “the center…
The Jobs Aren’t All Right
The government, for the past year, has overstated joblessness by 818,000 jobs. That revision comes on top of the monthly revisions already made. It is probably not a conspiracy to help Joe Biden and Kamala Harris look good or they would have waited until after the election, not before early voting, to announce the revision. But it is troubling that the government data was off by so much and…
Stewart Hearts Harris: 'Doesn't Faintly Resemble The Caricature'
Jon Stewart wrapped up The Daily Show’s week of coverage of the Democratic National Convention with a live episode on Comedy Central on Thursday where he promoted the idea that Kamala Harris’s acceptance speech proves “she doesn’t faintly resemble the caricature that's been painted.” Later in the program, actor Jason Bateman would narrate a promo video for Harris, where he argued she…
Hyping Harris: Late Night Comedy's DNC Coverage Goes Soft
For the late night comedy shows, the week of the Democratic National Convention provides the hosts with an opportunity to prove that they can make fun of Democrats in the same way they attack Republicans. However, a new MRC study shows they failed to do so this past week. In terms of quantity, the comedians hold 113 fewer jokes than they did during the RNC and 60 fewer jokes about Kamala…
ABC: ‘Moderate’ Kamala Was Reagan With ‘Morning in America’ DNC Speech
As they have all week, ABC’s Good Morning America had the best (or worst?) body of work gleefully devouring propaganda from the Democratic National Convention like drunk college kids hankering for late-night pizza. On Friday, they drooled over “what a night” for Vice President Kamala Harris, giving a “Morning in America” speech that could have been given “at a Republican convention...…
'Everything We've Been Waiting For': Colbert Hails Harris Speech
CBS’s Stephen Colbert wrapped up his week of live shows from Chicago on the final night of the Democratic National Convention by hyping Kamala Harris’s acceptance speech as “everything we've been waiting for.” To cap it all off, he welcomed Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for some additional party promotional material.
PBS’s Capehart on Horror of USA Chants at GOP Rallies: ‘Felt Menacing'
Reporter Laura Barron-Lopez set the scene for Night Three of the Democratic National Convention on the preceding episode of the PBS News Hour Wednesday evening, looking back with joy at Barack and Michelle Obama’s speeches from Night Two.
News Hour co-anchor Amna Nawaz opened PBS’s Night Three convention coverage by also finding “a message of hope” in Barack Obama’s…
Column: 'Joy' Time Is Over, Time for News on Substance
Shouldn’t this election be about governing, not just “tone”? Shouldn’t our media force some specifics? Watching network morning shows each day during the convention would make you feel buried in “joy” chatter and “dance party” gush and celebrity razzle-dazzle. The Harris campaign’s aversion to policy specifics is a nifty match for today’s television news, which avoids policy substance whenever…
‘NEEDS CONTEXT’: CNN’s Daniel Dale Weasels Out of Kamala Fact-Check
CNN’s Senior Reporter Daniel Dale provides a very early glimpse of what Regime Media fact-checking of Vice President Kamala Harris will look like, in the immediate aftermath of her acceptance speech to close out the 2024 Democratic National Convention.
