Campaigns & Elections

This isn’t something you see often on network television. CBS on Sunday did an experiment to determine just how safe mail-in ballots will be in November. CBS Weekend News journalist Tony Dokoupil set up a campaign “headquarters” and mailed 100 “ballots” to himself through the U.S. Post Office. The results were not encouraging. They also refute the dismissive tone of other journalists…

For the past several years, MSNBC has hailed any anti-Trump Republican as the voice of reason and as a champion of decency. However, fireworks ensued on MSNBC Live on Wednesday when host Craig Melvin interviewed pro-Trump Democrat State Rep. Vernon Jones of Georgia, wondering if Jones was being paid for his efforts.

On Morning Joe, chatting with Jonathan Swan of Axios regarding his interview of President Trump, Mika Brzezinski tries to get him to agree that the president appeared "confused."  She utterly flops, as Swan replies: "No, I don’t think he felt confused or anything of the sort."

Proving how invested they are in Joe Biden’s presidential campaign, on Wednesday, all three network morning shows were absolutely giddy over speculation that far-left California Senator Kamala Harris may be at the top of the presumptive Democratic nominee’s vice presidential short list.

CNN hosts Alisyn Camerota and John Berman were excited on Wednesday’s New Day by what they saw as increased enthusiasm for Joe Biden from never Trumpers. Camerota sat down with three Trump supporters and three alleged former Trump voters who now say they won’t for the the president again, in a two-part interview that aired Tuesday and Wednesday morning.

In a heated hearing with the House Judiciary Committee Tuesday, Attorney General William Barr held his own as rabid Democrats slung stones and arrows at him, accusing him of being a political pawn for President Trump and using his seat at the Department of Justice to help reelect him. And like clockwork, the liberal broadcast networks diligently did their job as the propaganda wing of the…

Earlier Tuesday evening, Politico may have spoiled a key 2020 campaign moment for their allies and dearly beloved friends in the Biden campaign wrong by accidentally announcing Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) as his running mate. Originally published Monday morning, the story was penned by eight Politico reporters that meant to summarize 12 different women that Biden could pick…

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough described the late John Lewis as "Christlike," and Jon Meacham called him "a genuine saint in the classic New Testament sense of the term."  Commenting on news that Hermain Cain is on oxygen in treatment for COVID-19, Joe Scarborough says, "our prayers and thoughts are certainly with him."

During a special aired Sunday night on MSNBC marking the final 100 days leading up to the 2020 presidential election, anchor Chuck Todd revealed the DNC-TV idea of balance as Barack Obama’s former campaign manager David Plouffe and Never-Trump Lincoln Project grifter Stuart Stevens teamed up to trash President Trump while boosting Joe Biden.

Washington Post film critic Ann Hornaday penned a very sticky valentine for Monday's Style section headlined "Cinematic savvy from Biden and Obama." A dull new 15-minute Biden campaign film starring Barack Obama is touted as a superhero flick and a "wonkily satisfying bromance reboot." 

On Sunday afternoon's MSNBC Live with Alex Witt, MSNBC contributor and liberal historian Jon Meacham conflated segregationist Democrat George Wallace with non-segregationist Republican conservatives like Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and Barry Goldwater. After Meacham encouraged viewers to vote against President Trump's "reign of terror" in November, MSNBC Republican Michael Steele…

In back-to-back interviews with congressional lawmakers from different sides of the aisle Sunday, CBS Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan exposed which party she supported as she allowed Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) an almost unfettered 10 minutes (9:44) to speak and smear Republicans on the stimulus bill. In contrast, she only gave Texas Senator Ted Cruz (R) six minutes and 24…

Just like in 2016, socialist filmmaker Michael Moore is playing the killjoy, warning the Left not to be overconfident about an anti-Trump landslide. On MSNBC's The Reidout, they were laughing about Trump's cognitive test. Moore warned "I want to caution everyone, do not underestimate the evil genius that is Donald J. Trump!"

Substituting for Joy Reid on MSNBC's AM Joy, Tiffany Cross asked National Diversity Coalition for Trump's Bruce LeVell: "[H]as Donald Trump has ever promised you anything financially in exchange for your blind support of his administration, or helping his campaign?" Cross also "correct[ed]" LeVell for using the term "China virus," calling it "racist." But Cross repeatedly refused to answer…
