The New York Times’ resident fact-checker Linda Qiu took on rising Republican star Vivek Ramaswamy after his breakout performance in last week’s GOP presidential debate, and her interesting choice of terminology unwittingly demonstrated the paper’s liberal mindset.

PBS Roundtable Hails Haley, But GOP ‘Emboldened to Say Racist Things'
It’s clear who would win PBS’s vote for the Republican Party nomination: Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who in the first GOP presidential debate bowed to “reality” by declaring a federal law against abortion a non-starter.

MSNBC Attacks 'Weird' GOP Debate For Talking Policy Instead Of Trump
MSNBC The 11th Hour guest host Ali Velshi, Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin, and presidential historian Michael Beschloss were all greatly distressed on Thursday as they reacted to the “weird” GOP primary debate from the night before that focused on policy differences between the candidates instead of obsession over Donald Trump and “the anti-democratic tendencies…

CNN & MSNBC Refuse to Air Trump's Remarks After His Arrest

NYT Leads With 7,500 Words on Ron DeSantis, Arrogant ‘Bully’ Hypocrite
As the opening round of the 2024 presidential campaign kicks off tonight with the first Republican debate, Tuesday’s lead New York Times story was a 7,500-word investigative epic by Nicholas Confessore, Times reporter and MSNBC political analyst, on the highest polling Republican on the lectern tonight.

ABC, CBS Dismiss Debate As 'Fantasy Land,' Sham 'Job Interview'
When it comes to elections, the media should be pro-debate, especially when no votes have officially been cast, but the post-non Trump debate coverage on Thursday’s Good Morning America on ABC and CBS Mornings dismissed the whole thing as a “fantasy land” that resembled a “job interview” in which the candidate has already been selected.

Stephanopoulos SHOUTS at Haley for Questioning Biden’s Advanced Age
Possibly because of the strong showing from most of the GOP field during their first debate the previous evening, ABC Good Morning America co-anchor George Stephanopoulos was in a sour mood on Thursday and took his rage out on candidate and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley. Her crime? Bringing attention to President Biden’s advanced age, how it’s obvious that he’s slipping mentally…

Fact-Checkers Falsely State Florida Didn't Ban CRT, Again
The assortment of online fact-checkers really did not appreciate Republican presidential candidates criticizing Democrats’ extreme abortion policies during their Wednesday debate, but abortion wasn’t the only topic they incorrectly condemned the candidates on.
