On Sunday, ABC’s Martha Raddatz tried and failed to get Gen. Charles Brown to attack Donald Trump as he tries to pull a Grover Cleveland and return to the presidency. On Wednesday, it was CNN’s Poppy Harlow’s turn to try to get someone to denounce Trump. However not only did Harlow, like Raddatz, fail, but NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg actually had positive things to say about Trump…

The network evening newscasts’ coverage of the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was uniformly fretful, with ABC and CBS further distinguishing themselves using the impeachment as an opportunity to further shill for the dying White House-Senate border compromise.

CBS’s Stephen Colbert used the Tuesday edition of The Late Show to launch into an extended factually-challenged diatribe against Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s border policies.

In the alternative universe of Vox, “Fox News is more consistently propagandistic than MSNBC and boasts a 42 percent larger viewership. Right-wing talk radio dwarfs the influence of progressive alternatives.” They claim "the U.S. media landscape is tilted against Biden." It's the silly old argument from Eric Alterman, pretending the liberal media is a figment of right-wing imaginations.

Some major news broke today with regard to U.S. sanctions against Venezuela and with potentially huge implications on the border crisis. But you wouldn’t know it from watching any of the network evening newscasts.

Joy Behar was a purported “comedian,” but during Tuesday’s edition of ABC’s The View, she decried the idea of the court jesters speaking truth to power and warned that comedy was the source of dictators. She blamed former President Obama for endangering the world because he made fun of former President Trump at a dinner. She also, insanely, accused comedian Charlie Chaplin of creating Adolf…

Factcheck.org may be the least offensive of all the fact-checking websites, but that is a low bar as it still has issues with case selection, but managing editor Lori Robertson claimed on C-SPAN’s Sunday edition of Washington Journal that they do not.

After having been indifferent toward the House Republican push to impeach Homeland Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, the “big three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC turned up the kvetching on Monday night. That continued Tuesday on their flagship morning news shows with gripes about the “splitscreen” of a “historic” impeachment while the Senate’s “work[ing] with” him on the border and how, in turn, the…

Columnist E. Jean Carroll made the rounds Monday across the liberal media in a victory lap following her legal win against former President Trump in civil assault and defamation suits. And during a Monday appearance on MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show, she offered to spend some of the $83.3 million she was awarded on supporting women’s rights; such as “new shoes,” a “penthouse,” and a luxury…

CBS’s Stephen Colbert and the Washington Post's Michele Norris teamed up on the Monday edition of The Late Show to lament, in Colbert’s word’s, the “resistance to diversity programs” and falsely accuse that opposition of not wanting to teach history in schools.

The taxpayer-supported PBS NewsHour fiercely attacked both presidential candidate Donald Trump and its journalistic competitors Fox News for racism in a segment that appeared online under the heading “Trump deploys racist tactics as Biden rematch appears likely.”  They reached back to smear Nixon and Reagan as well as they talked to a leftist about "dog-whistle politics."

As fate would have it, it fell upon one of CBS’s most ardent anti-Israel reporters, correspondent Debora Patta, to report on the news of countries pulling funding from UNRWA due to employee involvement in Hamas’ barbaric October 7th attack against Israel. Needless to say, the report went exactly as you’d expect.

House Republicans are moving to impeachment Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and CNN’s Laura Coates is not happy about it. On her Monday show, Coates feigned confusion as she echoed Democratic and DHS sentiments that the whole thing is a “farce” and "you won't find" any justification for it.

On Morning Joe, Jennifer Palmieri, a Morning Joe regular and Obama's former communications director, opposes Joe Scarborough's suggestion of bombing Iranian oil fields in retaliation for the drone attack by Iranian proxies on a US military outpost that killed three US soldiers and wounded dozens of others. She says the result of such bombing would be to raise oil prices, and that "higher gas…
