2024 Presidential

The New York Times ran its latest anti-DeSantis political hit job Saturday, “As His State Reels, DeSantis Shrugs Off Climate Threat,” by Nicholas Nehamas and Patricia Mazzei. Both have strong anti-DeSantis credentials borne out by their previous reporting. The Times tried to discredit DeSantis from another angle, this time his handling of environmental issues,…

On Thursday on CNN and PBS, host Christiane Amanpour spoke to Franklin Foer about his Biden book titled The Last Politician. Almost all the questions were designed to figure out how Biden can sell himself and be more appreciated for his buckets of achievements as he seeks re-election. 

CBS Face the Nation anchor Margaret Brennan sat down with Vice President Kamala Harris for an exclusive interview that lasted the entire first segment of her Sunday morning roundtable program. It was just as much of a softball interview as you'd imagine without having watched it. The worst moment came when Brennan showed her left-wing activist ankle show and asked Harris if she had…

On the last episode of NBC's Meet the Press with moderator Chuck Todd at the helm, Todd prodded California Democrat governor Gavin Newsom to run against President Joe Biden in the 2024 Democrat presidential primary. This final moment of Democrat Party hackery from Todd (at least during Meet the Press) came during a sitdown interview he had with Newsom. Todd's justification for urging…

For the second week in a row, PBS’s weekly journalistic political roundtable Washington Week with The Atlantic defended the elderly President Biden’s “mental acuity,” with the author of a new Biden biography, who also lectured the press on how to properly cover the president: By emphasizing how bad Trump is. Foer gave away his partisan leanings with a choice of pronoun: "...the recent…

Uh-oh.

Morning Joe doubts a CNN poll showing Biden tied with Trump and losing to almost all the other Republican contenders. Jon Meacham flatly says, "I don't believe these polls."

NewsBusters Managing Editor Curtis Houck and Associate Editor Nick Fondacaro were at the helm for another episode to close out the short week in which they repeatedly mocked the liberal media’s insistence that there’s “no evidence” to Biden family corruption. Thanks to our Bill D’Agostino, we have a thorough beatdown of the willfully blind and partisan press.

Ahead of his final episode as moderator of NBC’s Meet the Press, Chuck Todd surfaced Friday morning on Today alongside co-host and longtime friend Savannah Guthrie to not only preview his final show and have Guthrie wish him well as he takes a few steps down at the network, but kvetch about Hunter Biden’s life of ruin being an outlet for Donald Trump “to sort of muddy the…

After spending much of 2022 hysterically warning that the midterms might be the last free and fair election, MSNBC’s The 11th Hour spent Thursday that the 2024 elections will be “the last election that we can recognize” if either Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis is wins.

Hours before Vogue published an nauseously soft puff piece on the ever-inept White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, Wednesday’s press briefing featured more of what we saw on Tuesday with reporters showing their COVID skittishness by grilling her form the left on the virus in light of the First Lady’s positive test. But, in similar fashion, only a few showed up to do their jobs.

If the Southern Poverty Law Center says so, it must be true or at least that’s what MSNBC’s Alex Wagner tried to argue on her Wednesday show as she attacked the group Moms for Liberty and various Republican presidential candidates for seeking to win their support.

Even though the various legal cases against Donald Trump are taking place in the obviously partisan environment of a presidential election, an examination of ABC, CBS and NBC evening news coverage finds the networks rarely identified even elected Democratic prosecutors as “Democrats.”

When they engage with the national media, Republicans expect that the exchanges will be skeptical, if not openly hostile. The press works for the Other Party. Democrats expect the media to be the wind beneath their wings, and get upset when journalists don't help them at every turn.
