Campaigns & Elections

On his Saturday show on MSNBC, Ali Velshi was utterly confused by Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger's claim that Stacey Abrams' stolen election conspiracy theories are no different than Donald Trump's. After all, voter suppression, unlike fraud, is a legitimate concern.

There was a load of mixed messages flying around the set of ABC’s This Week on Sunday, as the mostly-liberal panel was having a hard time digesting the Republican sweep in Virginia and the rejection of Democratic policies across the country last Tuesday. And aside from admitting that Democrats had some work to do on messaging, the panel took to pummeling Republicans with charges of…

So there they were in the aftermath of the Virginia election. One MSNBC or CNN commentator after another calling the GOP wins in Virginia a “racist dog whistle.” So how do they explain the victory of Lieutenant Governor-elect Winsome Sears, the first African-American female to be elected in all of Virginia history? And Cuban-American Jason Miyares, the first Latino to be elected Attorney…

In an extremely rare moment, Latino media aired voices of support for a conservative candidate- as opposed to their usual milieu of Democratic elected officials and far-left activists.

On Friday, The Daily Wire reported on how “MSNBC host Joy Reid and frequent guest Michael Eric Dyson faced backlash online late on Thursday evening after a video clip went viral from Reid’s show that was widely panned as blatantly racist.” The pair vilely attacked Virginia Lieutenant Governor-elect Winsome Sears, a black Republican, and claimed she “justifies and legitimates the white…

The terrible election results for Democrats are going to lead to some terrible conclusions. One might be the assumption that these bad results reflect a media that’s too hostile to the Democrats. Greg Sargent of The Washington Post tweeted this lame summary from former Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer: “Republicans have a massive communications advantage..."

CNN Inside Politics host John King agreed with Democratic strategist Paul Begala on Thursday that Republican attacks against Critical Race Theory were nothing more than racist dog whistles for suburbanites who don't like diversity. At one point, King went so far as to echo Democratic allegations that it was a "horses***" issue.

While Democrats try to dig out from their electoral disaster on Tuesday, Morning Joe has come up with an explanation for Biden's unpopularity, which dragged Dems down across the country: it's Trump's fault! As Mika Brzezinski put it on Thursday: "This administration is grappling with the problems that it adopted from the last administration, these problems are in some ways either…

As Democrats ponder their newly vulnerable electoral state, here’s a New York Times headline that’s a neat encapsulation of media bias: “Republicans Pounce on Schools as a Wedge Issue to Unite the Party.” That's the online headline to the front-page Thursday story by Lisa Lerer and Jeremy Peters. It’s two liberal media tropes in one line: the idea of Republicans cynically “pouncing”…

In the past two weeks, CNN and MSNBC have shown multiple double standards by peddling misinformation about Texas's congressional redistricting plan to accuse Republicans of cutting minority representation in the state while ignoring aggressive gerrymandering by Illinois Democrats. It was even wrongly suggested that Republicans would prevent any black members of Congress from being elected in…

Early indications are the liberal journos STILL haven’t quite learned their lesson, as they pouted and whined about Youngkin’s strategy of “weaponizing race” with CRT,  as seen in the following post-Election outbursts.

Sparks flashed on Cuomo Prime Time as Republican Scott Jennings, former special assistant to President George W. Bush, confronted Chris “Fredo” Cuomo and the Lincoln Project’s Stuart Stevens on the heinous lies that were spewed against Virginia’s governor-elect, Glenn Youngkin (R). Jennings called out the falsehoods and had Cuomo on his heels as he yelled at the CNN host about the…

It’s time for the post-election Bitter Tears Edition of the NewsBusters Podcast, recounting the media meltdowns as the Republicans took over all the statewide elections in Virginia and retook the House of Delegates. When our media Democrats figure out they’re going to lose, the anger about the “whitelash” is guaranteed. Losing politicians might concede with grace, but journalists seldom do.…

The liberal media’s immediate reaction to the left’s defeat in Virginia on Election Day was to start screaming at the state and accusing voters of forwarding a racist agenda because Governor-elect Glenn Youngkin (R) had promised to get Critical Race Theory out of schools there. But to help perpetuate the false narrative, they ignored how those same Virginia voters elected Winsome Sears (R), a…
