Campaigns & Elections

On CNN's New Day, conservative contributor Scott Jennings suggested the secretly-recorded tape of President Trump's sister, Maryanne Barry Trump, criticizing him are "another sort of forgettable moment," which spurred debate with morning anchor John Berman, who insisted the comments land like a "ton of bricks."

While attempting to hammer the Trump campaign on behalf of the Democratic Party on Monday, CBS This Morning co-host Tony Dokoupil was treated to a history lesson from White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows that completely blunted the anchor’s attack. At issue was left-wing hysteria over President Trump planning to accept the GOP nomination from the south lawn of the White House.…

Just before the Republican National Convention kicked off Monday morning, ABC journalists were ready with their list of grievances. However, anchor George Stephanopoulos stepped in it when he went too far defending Democrat nominee Joe Biden and former governor of New Jersey Chris Christie was ready with facts to combat the ABC journalist’s narrative.

Joe Biden's Catholic faith has been a popular topic for the media to trumpet lately. But what's been brushed under the rug is how Biden's extreme views on abortion are so contradictory with the teachings of the Catholic Church.

On Sunday's Reliable Sources, CNN host Brian Stelter played his usual role as enforcer of liberal bias, insisting the networks must create an imbalance in how they cover conventions. CNN was right to allow two hours a night of Democrat advertising, he said, but the Republicans must be interrupted incessantly because it will be a "stream of lying." 

Watching ABC’s interviews with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris Sunday night was like experiencing whiplash. World News Tonight anchor David Muir pivoted between fawning softballs and surprisingly critical questions (for ABC) on their policies and controversial statements. However, these more contentious exchanges turned into disappointment as ABC let Biden and Harris spin, deflect and…

On MSNBC's AM Joy show, Never Trumper Tom Nichols says, "we [Never Trumpers] all have a sentimental attachment to the Republican party. We all loved Old Yeller. But at some point you have to take Old Yeller behind the barn and put him down." Nichols' violent death wish for the Republican party shocked even the liberal host, Jonathan Capehart, sending him into a stumbling response: "…

Twitter Moments is as biased in curating the campaign as the “independent fact checkers.” It would figure that the Democratic convention would cause them all to fact check…..the Republicans, not the Democrats. Promoted at the top of the Moments this morning was this gem: "The DNC did not remove the phrase 'under God' from the Pledge of Allegiance, Snopes and PolitiFact confirm."

After omitting Susan B. Anthony from her Sunday Morning segment on the 100^th anniversary of women’s suffrage, CBS host Margaret Brennan was in a fighting mood later on Face the Nation. Between smearing Republicans as being totally fine with 170,000 COVID deaths and assailing disgraced former FBI Director James Comey on behalf of the Democratic Party, Brennan was…

For at least the second time in two months, Democratic nominee Joe Biden used a quote made famous by communist leader Mao Tse-tung when it came to women. Calling it simply an “old expression,” Biden got away with quoting the communist monster (who killed millions of people) because his interviewer, ABC’s Robin Roberts refused to call out, push back, or question her candidate as to why he was…

So it begins. The completion of the Democratic National Convention and the approaching Republican counterpart has effectively launched the final stage of the 2020 presidential campaign. And The Washington Post has hit the panic button.

Guest-hosting AM Joy today, Jonathan Capehart of the Washington Post and MSNBC suggested that network execs shouldn't show the "felonious couple," i.e. the McCloskeys, when they speak at the RNC convention next week.  A guest on the show claims that President Trump would use the McCloskeys as an example to promote a "violent mutiny" should he lose the election.

On Wednesday morning, Today co-host Savannah Guthrie threw a series of softballs at Jill Biden. But on Saturday's Today, NBC was all attack questions with Lara Trump, Eric Trump’s wife and a Trump campaign adviser. Peter Alexander asked how Trump could attack Joe Biden's acceptance speech when "even Fox News described it as 'enormously effective.'"

On her Wednesday show, MSNBC Live host Stephanie Ruhle lamented to Delaware Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester that people will still vote for President Trump despite him being a liar and Joe Biden being a much more decent person.
