2024 Presidential

The four-indictment whirlwind around Donald Trump – alongside a courtroom battle over an ancient rape allegation – has dominated the narrative of the Republican campaign. Where are the issues? So far this year, stump speeches aren’t making the news. Only arrests and arraignments are.

The top-left headline on the front page of Monday's New York Times pushed "How Plea Deal Went Off Track for Biden's Son." ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS couldn't find this story on Monday, but CNN legal analyst Elle Honig addressed it several times on Monday. On CNN This Morning, co-host Poppy Harlow described the Times piece as a "bombshell" -- a word usually reserved for Trump-scandal scoops.

On the eve of the first Republican presidential primary debate of the 2024 election, MSNBC's Joy Reid decided to get in one last smear against Florida Republican governor and presidential candidate Ron DeSantis before he takes the stage on Wednesday evening. She did this by inviting the George Soros-backed prosecutor Monique Worrell who DeSantis fired to falsely tell her she lost her job…

Is the GOP campaign coverage in 2023 turning out a lot like 2015? Is Trump dominating the media? A new MRC evening-news study by Rich Noyes found that Trump's share of Republican media coverage is twice as big a share of the overall percentage as the last time the primary was open eight years ago.

Even a milquetoast Republican who hates Donald Trump just as much as they do isn’t safe on MSNBC. At least that was the case on Monday afternoon when former Arkansas Republican governor Asa Hutchinson appeared on MSNBC’s Deadline: White House in what he probably thought was going to be a friendly, softball interview with host Nicolle Wallace and her assembled cast. Things turned south very…

A new Media Research Center study finds the ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts focused 74% of their GOP campaign coverage on Donald Trump, with the remaining candidates forced to split the remaining airtime. Most TV coverage of Trump (90%) was negative, but the media also bashed his nearest challenger Ron DeSantis (78% negative).

When Jake Tapper tried to claim it was wildly wrong for Fox host Laura Ingraham to suggest liberal networks were reveling in the Trump indictments, he should have imagined MSNBC regulars sounding giddy at Trump being arraigned in Georgia in "a really dirty, dangerous scary place," where he could end up "really freaked out."

Former Virginia Attorney General and founder of the DeSantis-aligned Super PAC Never Back Down, Ken Cuccinelli confronted CNN's State of the Union fill-in anchor for deceptively editing comments made by Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis to make it seem like he called Trump supporters "listless vessels." Regardless of whom you support for the Republican nomination, everyone should…

Is the media starting to panic? Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd put up a graphic during his roundtable discussion which compared President Joe Biden's most recent standing in the polls with where he was in October 2020, as well as Hillary Clinton's poll numbers in October 2016. This clearly made him nervous since Biden is far behind where both he and Clinton were. Of course, he couldn't…

NBC's Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd opened his program on Sunday with a mini temper tantrum due to the majority of the 2024 Republican presidential hopefuls and even President Joe Biden steering away from attacking former President Donald Trump in the manner Todd demands. Of course, the icing on the cake was Todd's insistence that Republicans staying "silent has left a massive moral…

On Friday’s NewsHour, PBS’s “conservative” pundit David Brooks sound like a Biden re-election flack, touting the President’s “incredibly strong economic recovery,” his “pretty good international peacekeeping efforts,” and who “sends off all the right cultural messages.....Democrats are not grateful enough for what they have.”

If there's one theme we can isolate and mock as denying political reality, it's the theme that Joe Biden could still argue in any way that he's all about a "thick bold line" between the White House and the Justice Department. The Politico "Playbook" team on Wednesday set out to explain "Why Biden won’t touch on Trump".

The Democrats have unfurled a fourth indictment of former President Donald Trump, this time in Fulton County, Georgia. The number one media-bias complaint on this trend – other than how these indictments “flood the zone” and devolve the Republican presidential primary into a hyperbolic courtroom drama – is that reporters typically fail to identify the prosecutors as Democrats.

Packing so many pontificating pundits onto the screen that they looked like a bargain bin Brady Bunch, MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell took to her eponymous show on Tuesday to openly fret that former President Trump’s “opponents” might be suffering from “indictment fatigue” after the district attorney of Fulton County, GA indicted him for the fourth time. Of course, the crux of her concern was that…
