2016 Presidential

On Thursday, both NBC’s Today and CBS This Morning hyped an effort by Democrats to provide “smoking gun” evidence that former Secretary of State Colin Powell was to blame for Hillary Clinton’s e-mail scandal. Reporters on the morning shows dutifully used the story to distract from Clinton being hammered over the scandal during Wednesday’s Commander-in-Chief Forum.

On Thursday’s Good Morning America, anchors George Stephanopoulos, Robin Roberts, and Michael Strahan talked with ABC’s Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl about last night’s forum with Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton on foreign policy. Some liberal outlets this morning expressed outraged at Matt Lauer’s questions to the two presidential candidates, and Karl agreed that Trump didn’t…

Those oh-so-objective journalists at the New York Times went after a fellow journalist, NBC’s Today show host Matt Lauer, for being unfair to Hillary Clinton and not sufficiently attacking Donald Trump, both during and after the MSNBC/NBC Commander in Chief Forum Wednesday night. Reporter Maggie Haberman was particularly perturbed: “Clinton basically got a two-by-four equivalent in the questions…

Appearing on Thursday's New Day, CNN political analyst and former NBC Meet the Press anchor David Gregory repeatedly insisted that Hillary Clinton's handling of her email with a private server was "not illegal," and that this assertion is "not in dispute." He ended up claiming that the proof of this claim was that FBI director James Comey chose not to prosecute and ended up fretting over the…

After 278 days of dodging reporters and ignoring their questions, Hillary Clinton on Thursday finally submitted to a press conference. One would assume that there would be plenty of tough follow-ups on her e-mail scandal. Yet, that subject never came up. Instead, reporters fed her queries on sexism, double standards against her campaign and the size of her lead. 

If I've lost Cronkite, I've lost middle America, President Lyndon Johnson allegedly complained in February 1968 while watching CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite pronounce from Vietnam during the Tet Offensive that the war was a clearly a stalemate and hence pointless for the United States to remain in the fight. Turns out this oft-cited tale is probably apocryphal, as American University professor…

CNN’s media team of Brian Stelter and Dylan Byers channeled the Left – and pretended it wasn’t the Left – in a “Reliable Sources” e-mail sent on Wednesday night after the NBC “commander-in-chief” forum. Like many leftists, they were upset Matt Lauer didn’t come to knock Trump off his chair and expose him as a moron.Stelter began: "The candidates made a lot of news. But did the network ultimately…

Presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump took hits on the CBS drama American Gothic last night. In the first part of the two-part season finale, “Madame X,” Garrett Hawthorne (Antony Starr) has worked out a deal with the police to help them find the Silver Bells serial killer’s accomplice in exchange for a suspended sentence on a manslaughter charge.

During the MSNBC/NBC Commander-in-Chief Forum Matt Lauer, co-host of NBC’s Today, hammered Hillary Clinton repeatedly about her e-mail scandal, much to Clinton’s chagrin. But Clinton was not the only one that didn’t appreciate Lauer’s prying into the issue for the American people. “But to have half of the time with her be on the issue e-mail,” whined MSNBC host Rachel Maddow on Brian William’s…

Just as predicted, MSNBC did its best to draw attention away from the grilling Hillary Clinton received about her e-mail scandal on Wednesday night at their Commander in Chief Forum in their analysis on The Last Word by spinning her portion as a “very strong performance” and spent little time rehashing it in favor of trashing Trump discussing his intelligence briefings. 

Complaints from liberal pundits about media bias against Hillary Clinton have snowballed during the past few days. New York Times columnist Paul Krugman had the most high-profile effort, which contrasted “the impression that [Donald Trump is] being graded on a curve” with “the presumption that anything [Hillary] does must be corrupt,” and some of the others have taken aim at Krugman’s newspaper…

On Tuesday's All In with Chris Hayes on MSNBC, guest host Joy-Ann Reid devoted a segment to fretting that the dominant media have been too aggressive in covering a small number of Hillary Clinton scandals as opposed to many scandals coming from Donald Trump. Slate columnist and recurring guest Michelle Goldberg complained that, when the media cover Clinton scandals, "it's a couple of things that…

Looking at the history of NBC’s Today co-host Matt Lauer leading into Wednesday night’s MSNBC/NBC Commander in Chief Forum, one would conclude that he’d be anything but netural compared to some of his colleagues for impartial questioning both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, but he brought the heat early on in Clinton’s portion about her e-mail scandal that left Clinton on the defensive.

The Obama administration’s recent expenditure of tens of millions of dollars to spur immigrants to become citizens and vote this November isn’t the only evidence that taxpayer funds are possibly being used to favor the election of Hillary Clinton.
