Campaigns & Elections

On Monday, CNN released an interview between The Lead anchor Jake Tapper and Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom, with a big media focus on the interview coming from Newsom telling Tapper that he would not run for president if former Vice President Kamala Harris ran. But in less-talked-about portions of the fly-fishing interview, Tapper compared Newsom’s early support for gay marriage…

Last week, "CNN Republican" Ashley Davis embraced George W. Bush’s “Islam is peace” line. Tuesday she was back on CNN This Morning, talking up Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's potential and declining to criticize her policies: "I think that our toughest candidate right now is AOC because of the excitement she brings. I’m not necessarily saying her policies, but Newsom and Kamala, they are folks that…

Anytime NewsBusters takes on the broadcast networks and their lead morning shows, ABC’s Good Morning America is almost certainly brought up first because of its virulent hatred for President Trump, his allies in Congress, and/or anyone who has an agenda or set of views that run counter to the Disney-owned network’s corporate liberalism. That was the case Tuesday as eight of the first 11…

On Tuesday, amid swirling questions about why a Russian businessman gifted Donald Trump Jr. hundreds of thousands of dollars for his wedding’s after party, ABC’s purported “bona fide news program” The View used it as evidence to push the debunked conspiracy theory that President Trump stole the 2016 presidential election with help from Russia. Additionally, they had newfound respect for the…

Last week The Bulwark’s Sarah Longwell went on MS NOW's Morning Joe to promote her book, which calls for an end to the Trump era, and she claimed the “problem” that needed to be solved to end “this era of MAGA politics” was Trump voters. Monday on CNN's Inside Politics, Host Dana Bash prompted Longwell her to talk about what she has labeled the "Republican triangle of doom".

Former Trump attorney-turned professional anti-Trump conspiracy theorist Ty Cobb returned to CNN’s Erin Burnett OutFront on Monday to once again raise the possibility that Republicans will simply steal the midterm elections by refusing to give up power if they lose. While there were no Nazi insults this time, Burnett and Cobb were still forced to retreat to the world of the wildly hypothetical…

The Elitist Media appear to have launched a campaign in support of creating regulatory capture for the artificial intelligence industry, driven mostly by echoing hysterical fears of an AI Apocalypse. ABC and NBC’s evening newscasts took this approach to the consensus top story, while CBS took a more nuanced approach and allowed viewers to decide for themselves.

A CNN This Morning segment today was built around President Trump’s $5,000 “Trump dividend” — the promise the Wall Street Journal editorial board branded “a $5,000 bridge to sell you” and “a classic in vote-buying political cynicism.” Cornish needed a Democratic answer. She found Sen. Jon Ossoff at an Athens rally: “Last week, the broken old man threw a two day party in Texas while it cost…

After a summer of laying low due to various allegations, some of which stemmed from his close relationship with disgraced former U.S. Representative Eric Swalwell, Arizona Senator returned to the Elitist Media Sunday shows- namely, CNN’s State of the Union. And host Jake Tapper made sure to keep Gallego as comfortable as possible.

Netflix’s dramedy Survival of the Thickest was unfortunately given a third season which, not surprisingly, featured jabs at conservatives like Nicki Minaj, Trump, and Vance, even claiming the latter two stole the election (the 2024 one). On a positive note, however, there was a storyline that depicted the humanity of an unborn child as well as the immense grief a mother faces when she loses…

On Friday, ABC’s Good Morning America and CBS Mornings tied Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) to a barely audible interjection from a supposed audience member Thursday at the Republican midterm convention that said “he should be shot” when Cruz invoked leftists Abdul el-Sayed, Zohran Mamdani, and James Talarico. Along with NBC’s Today, the three were all-but entirely negative about the two-day confab.…

In the run up to the midterm elections, the liberal media were pulling out all the stops to try to flip control of the House. It was clear they had zeroed in on Texas 23 since both CNN on Wednesday and then MS NOW’s The Last Word on Thursday had targeted Republican nominee and GunTuber Brandon Herrera for a smear campaign. However, when MS Now’s Lawrence O’Donnell tried to give Herrera’s…

To avoid any FCC equal time ramifications, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel begrudgingly put his Thursday interview with Texas Senate James Talarico exclusively on YouTube. However, the actual interview showed why the FCC is taking a closer look at equal time rules because for Talarico it was less of an interview and more of an out-of-state campaign rally. Kimmel’s main point of praise was how Talarico…

To counter the Republican Midterm Convention in Dallas, Democrats have sent a contingent of their own to the state. One of their leaders is Governor JB Pritzker, who has a habit of accusing President Trump of suffering from dementia, something he's done several times on CNN, including during Wednesday's The Arena, where he again went unchallenged.
