Debates

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. In response to Ramaswamy’s claim (one not even made at the debate, but to the Atlantic magazine) that there were…

The guests on Katie Phang's MSNBC show tear into Vivek Ramaswamy, calling him a "punk" and a "charlatan." But they praise Nikki Haley for her realism, saying she is on "Earth One," particularly on the issue of abortion, where at the debate she said the votes aren't there in the Senate to pass a national abortion ban.

The Washington Post’s third-rate “fact-checker” Glenn Kessler butchered the facts when he claimed that the sky-high inflation brought on by Bidenomics barely made a dent in Americans’ spending power. Economists interviewed by MRC Business were having none of it.

As the first Republican presidential debate looms, New York Times campaign reporter Nicholas Nehemas spread anti-DeSantis doomsaying in “For DeSantis, Release of Debate Strategy Amplifies a Daunting Challenge": "Mr. DeSantis’s most prominent debates -- in his contests for governor against Charlie Crist, a former Republican governor of Florida turned Democratic member of Congress, and…

Fox News Channel has long been the cable news king that blows MSNBC and CNN out of the water in terms of ratings most hours of the day. And when a TV news outlet hosts a major political event like the Republican primary debate on Wednesday night, they’re set to rake in millions of more views than they normally do. With that as the backdrop, MSNBC’s Alex Wagner ended the Tuesday night edition…

Chronically the third-place cable news outlet, CNN was the little goblin biting at the ankles of Fox News, the cable news giant. So, of course, it brought CNN great joy to see that former President Trump had chosen to avoid taking part in the first Republican presidential debate, which was hosted by their rival. Senior media correspondent Oliver Darcy beamed on Monday as he boasted about Trump…

Showing disrespect for Republican primary voters, former President Trump announced Sunday night that he would not be attending the first Republican primary debate later in the week with reports suggesting he was planning to counterprogram the event with an interview with Tucker Carlson. ABC’s Good Morning America and CBS Mornings welcomed the internal party drama and hyped…

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough pumps up New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu as a potential Republican presidential primary contender, and takes shots at Ron DeSantis, saying, that DeSantis' campaign "is going to end very badly . . . It's going to start as high as a Chinese balloon over Montana, and by the time it gets to South Carolina, they're going to be looking for wreckage." 

In his first day co-hosting the new show, CNN This Morning, Don Lemon calls Kari Lake's comments on the attack on Paul Pelosi "vile, vile." Lake had observed that in DC, Nancy Pelosi has protection, but, "apparently her house doesn't have a lot of protection."  Commenting on John Fetterman's debate performance, Lemon said that his mother, who he called his "one-woman focus group," said she…

Tiffany Cross is ticked. The MSNBC host is incensed that Georgia Democrats in general, and Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock in particular, have gone too easy on Herschel Walker, specifically with regard to allegations that he urged two former girlfriends to have abortions.

On Morning Joe, former Biden press secretaru Jen Psaki admits that Democrats are "fearful" about the midterms, and that their worries have gotten "worse over the last week or so.:But Mika Brzezinski parrots John Fetterman's claim to Joy Reid that he will be "much, much better by January but Dr. Oz will still be a fraud. 

New York Times reporters Patricia Mazzei and Maggie Astor reported on Monday evening’s one and only debate in the Florida governor’s race, pitting sitting Republican Ron DeSantis against Democrat and former state governor Charlie Crist. But under the guise of fighting misinformation on abortion and transgender issues by Ron DeSantis, the reporters spread their own: "....asked whether…

Like rescuers sifting through the rubble for signs of life after a building collapse, Mika Brzezinski did her brave best on behalf of her fellow Democrat, John Fetterman. Even so, she strained credulity well beyond the breaking point with this line: "Given that he did have a stroke, some might be surprised, how well he did."

With things continuing to break against their liberal pals running for office, the major broadcast networks chose Thursday to spend nearly eight minutes (seven minutes and 49 seconds) flaunting a second supposed abortion allegation against Georgia Republican senatorial candidate Herschel Walker with some help from far-left attorney Gloria Allred to boost incumbent Senator Raphael Warnock (D…
