Congress

ABC was surprisingly the only major broadcast network to break in Thursday afternoon for a special report on the House passage of President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill, which he’s slated to sign into law Friday. What was unsurprising, however, was the ABC presented a wholly negative perspective declaring the bill was to “mostly” benefit “the wealthiest Americans” while stating as though it’s a…

Ahead of its final passage in the House, the big three broadcast networks all gave blatantly biased reports Thursday on their flagship morning shows about President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill. ABC’s Good Morning America, CBS Mornings, and NBC's Today all told the same story, one that devoted noticeably more attention to Democrats as they stalled on the House…

There is virtually nothing unique about public broadcasters anymore. The only thing that now differentiates NPR and PBS from their private sector competition is that they get about $1 billion in taxpayer subsidies annually (half via the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and half from federal and state discretionary grants). 

Congresswoman Jen Kiggans (R-VA) — who represents a swing district encompassing Virginia’s Eastern Shore and much of the Hampton Roads region — took to Thursday’s CBS Mornings Plus and calmly explained the facts behind the Big, Beautiful Bill, specifically changes to Medicaid and its unsustainable path without reform.

If you watched CNN This Morning on July 2nd, you might think President Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill was about to strip millions of struggling Americans of life-saving healthcare, dooming millions of our elderly, disabled individuals, and single pregnant mothers to certain demise. But what you actually witnessed was yet another shameless disinformation campaign, a desperate attempt…

As a vote on rescissions (clawing back already approved funding) in the Senate looms that may decide the fate of federal funding for PBS and NPR, liberal Republican Margaret Hoover, host of PBS’s Firing Line, invited a timely guest onto Friday’s show: liberal Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, a self-described “unabashed supporter of public broadcasting in my state” and author…

On Thursday, CBS showed some admirable news judgment on CBS Mornings and the CBS Evening News by choosing to inform viewers about a ticking fiscal bomb many fiscal hawks have been warning about for decades, which is Social Security essentially going broke in the next decade. Even though it’s being talked about as a Republican is in the White House, it’s still worth giving…

Here’s how it's so easy to identify the national media as liberal Democrats: They hate “moderate” Democrats. They love moderate Republicans. They despise disunity in their party, and love to fester disunity in the Other Party. This week, we’ve witnessed an outpouring of love for Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, which you would never see for a Joe Manchin.

The debate over the commander-in-chief’s powers versus the U.S. Congress’s has increased following President Trump’s Operation: Midnight Hammer airstrikes on Iran. On Monday, CBS Mornings Plus invited Colorado’s Democratic Congressman Jason Crow to push Congress to claw back their authority to authorize military strikes, but was this motivated by who the sitting President was?   

The embodiment of the kind of acceptable liberal journalist to today’s left, CBS Evening News Plus has always ended with anchor John Dickerson let it rip on whatever issue he desires weighing in on. Increasingly, it’s been political and snide, giving his opinion on how much he loathes Trump and the MAGA agenda. Thursday was no exception as he denounced the Big, Beautiful Bill as…

On Wednesday’s edition of the PBS News Hour, co-anchor Geoff Bennett twisted a legitimate arrest of a Democratic congresswoman for pushing and shoving federal agents into a Trump revenge tour against his “perceived political adversaries.” As if a victim of Democratic lawfare and two assassination attempts doesn’t have actual enemies?

Monday morning’s Politico Playbook dished a hilarious exclusive that former longtime Capitol Hill reporter Hanna Trudo — who had been until earlier this spring The Hill’s senior political correspondent — “is exploring a campaign for Congress as a Democrat in New Hampshire’s 1st District” after a career that also featured stops at the Daily Beast and Politico.

As a child I frequently visited relatives in southern Indiana. A great uncle tried to keep me from exploring his cellar (as they were called then) by telling me the boogeyman was down there and would “get you” if I descended the stairs. It worked. Boogeymen are nothing new. They have existed in the form of politicians going back to the founding of the country. See how Thomas Jefferson…

Between Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, the major broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC were head over heels for Senator Cory Booker’s (D-NJ) 25-hour-long, “marathon” act of chicanery “speaking in a protest” against Trump and “shin[ning] a spotlight on” his “rapid fire and controversial actions” through “the little bit of power and influence” they have in Washington. At one point, one anchor…
