Campaigns & Elections

While nothing was official during the airing of Thursday's Andrea Mitchell Reports, the show's namesake host and Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey were confident that Joe Biden will eventually win the election. For Mitchell, that means that checks and balances are suddenly bad again.

Actor John Cusack won’t stand for any backtalk. In fact, he won’t stand for any talk at all, if he disagrees with it. Many people have been feeling stressed about the presidential race, mostly because they believe deep, moral issues are at stake. Everybody feels strongly about those issues, and the unusually long wait for the election results has exacerbated the tension.

During their live election coverage Friday afternoon, ABC’s White House correspondent Cecilia Vega claimed the Trump presidency boiled down to the president’s own racism. 

Facebook has shut down an activist group with pro-Trump ties concerned about voter fraud while still allowing reportedly violent Antifa groups to remain. Facebook “took down a fast-growing group called ‘Stop the Steal’ that was organizing protests of vote counts around the country,” The Wall Street Journal reported Nov. 5. “Stop the Steal,” a group which had grown “to more than 361,…

During NBC’s ongoing special coverage of the election results Friday morning, correspondent Kasie Hunt felt it was her job to try to sell a Biden presidency, even to the point of claiming that “a lot” of Republicans “will breath a private sigh of relief if this election is called for Joe Biden.” She further cheered that Biden knows “how you solve big problems,” unlike the “chaotic” President…

For the second time since election day, CBS obsessed over the abject failure of the Democratic Party in the House and the Senate. Democratic donor/This Morning host Gayle King looked for answers and turned to turned to another Democrat: “…

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough says that the election was, for the most part, "an absolute repudiation of the Democratic party brand." He warns Democrats that if they don't change course away from their left-wing positions, Republicans will have a "huge" year in 2022. He quotes a Dem congresswoman who says that if Dems don't stop talking about "socialism" and "defund the police," they will…

ABC News journalists on Friday’s Good Morning America were fed up with the ballot counting in this tight presidential race and just wanted to declare Joe Biden the winner. 

When MSNBC Live host Craig Melvin went on air Wednesday morning it was still unclear who the winner of the presidential election would be, but one thing was certain: it was not the massive repudiation of President Trump and the Republican Party that the left was hoping for. For Melvin's guest, Princeton Prof. Eddie Glaude Jr., this was very disheartening as he blamed sexism for Joe…

As the ballot counting dragged on Thursday in key states around the country and President Trump continued to fight for a second term, the partisan “journalists” at NBC News had grown obviously irritated that they couldn’t declare their candidate the winner. At no time was this more blatant than their primetime coverage when they demanded Trump be “conciliatory” and handle his concession like…

Following President Trump’s Thursday night statement claiming widespread voter fraud, CNN chose not to simply dissect and/or dismantle Trump’s claims with any sobriety. Instead, the apocalyptic network threw one tantrum after the next over how the “flailing” and “obese turtle...in a hot sun” decided to “attack democracy” and supposedly “incit[e] violence” on what was “sad night for the United…

In a press conference on Thursday, President Trump covered a vast range of topics dealing with the 2020 election, including the “great achievement” in the House of Representatives were Republican women won the day in large numbers. Of course, those victories had been largely ignored but Trump’s mention of them forced the CBS Evening News to finally acknowledge those victories. But…

Voter fraud? Yawn. CBS This Morning showed yet again that journalists want to challenge those in power only when Republicans are involved. When given a chance to demand answers about vote counting in the ongoing presidential recount, co-host Anthony Mason instead offered a cupcake interview with Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro.

Twitter promised on Nov. 2 that it would label tweets that declared a premature victory, but it appears that the platform has escalated to labeling “legal” victories as well. The company placed an interstitial, or filter, over Senior Advisor to the Trump campaign Jason Miller’s tweet regarding the campaign’s victory today in a Pennsylvania appellate court. Users wanting to see the tweets then…
