Campaigns & Elections

When Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart and New York Times columnist David Brooks joined PBS NewsHour host Judy Woodruff for their Friday recap of the week’s news, the natural topic of conversation was the election results. Capehart’s big takeaway was that things other than the economy, like abortion, saved Democrats while Brooks cheered the demise of…

National Public Radio hates Republicans, and it doesn't matter if Republicans pay a chunk of their salaries. On Wednesday, Morning Edition anchor Steve Inskeep brought on New York Times Magazine writer Robert Draper, author of a book colorfully titled Weapons Of Mass Delusion: When The Republican Party Lost Its Mind.

President Biden held a press conference  at the White House after the midterms, and some reporters unloaded diatribes about Biden's agenda being ruined and "affirmative action" taking a severe hit. CNN asked about the return of decency and civility, as if Biden or CNN was civil to Republicans on a daily basis.

After we noted Thursday that CNN's Don Lemon argued DeSantis could be even worse than Trump, the DeSantis smears shifted Friday to MSNBC’s Morning Joe thanks to Republican-turned-Never Trump-turned liberal David Jolly, who trashed DeSantis as having “used" Trump with a fragile ego.

There was no red wave. There was no red tide. There was no red trickle. There was a fizzle. The 2022 midterm election fundamentals would have suggested a ringing Republican victory: an unpopular president of the opposing party, deep public unhappiness with the state of the economy, unified Democratic control in Congress and radical social policy out of step with most Americans.

It’s been days since Election Day and we’re still waiting on the results from a number of places, meanwhile, Florida had everything counted in a few hours. But according to NewsNation’s Chris “Fredo” Cuomo Thursday night, Florida should not be the standard because of the hanging chad situation 22 years ago. He also suggested things would be better with an all-digital system like our hackable…

During Friday’s Good Morning America, ABC’s senior national correspondent Terry Moran made it clear he’s not going to tolerant anyone who decries the reality that it’s unclear when the final votes will be tallied in states like Arizona. Why? Because, according to Moran, offering such gripes makes you a conspiracy theory calling into question a “normal” and “ordinary” process we should…

Presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwin stopped by Friday’s CNN This Morning to discuss the results of Tuesday’s election and despite the final results still being unknown, compared them to victory in the Civil War, World War II, and surviving the Great Depression.

Google searches may not be as autonomous as you think. In reality, it appears the platform feeds users a carefully curated narrative based on the information the company does – and does not – want them to see.

The Atlantic’s Jemele Hill book tour took her to Thursday’s Amanpour and Company on PBS to discuss her life and career as a sports journalist who has become a left-wing activist. During the sit-down, Hill would suggest it was racist for MSNBC to fire Tiffany Cross and alleged that “many people are comfortable voting for cruelty.”

Before the “Red Wave” was downgraded to a red trickle on Election Night, the New York Times handed out some snowflake-friendly tips to its overwhelmingly liberal readership on coping with election. “5 ways to soothe election stress" included the suggestion “Plunge your face into a bowl with ice water…” The ice baths turned out unnecessary for Democrats, unless they lived in Florida…

Despite a better-than-expected night for the Democrats on Tuesday, MSNBC’s Joy Reid and her gang of race baiters were clearly unhappy Thursday that the Democrat Party let some winnable Senate and House seats slip through their fingertips due to what she described as poor black voter turnout. 

Thursday’s CBS Mornings did its part to continue the liberal gloating after Tuesday’s midterms results, including the time-old tradition of fawning over diversity victories. This time, co-host and Democratic donor Gayle King marveled over Democrat Wes Moore winning the governor’s mansion in a “historic victory” for deep-blue Maryland.

Biased much? The New York Times slammed Twitter and its new owner, Elon Musk, for not censoring enough during the 2022 midterm elections.
