The networks finally broke their weeks-long blackout of conservative wins in the U.S. Supreme Court this session. Among Wednesday’s decisions were two religious liberty rulings that went decisively in conservatives’ favor: hiring/firing practices and opting out of ObamaCare’s contraception coverage mandate. Of course, ABC, CBS, and NBC covered only the latter, with ABC and CBS expressing…

Over the last two weeks, the U.S. Supreme Court has issued six major rulings that touch on issues ranging from gay rights to religious freedom. And in the midst of those events, the decisions of some of the justices went ways that those invested in the outcomes didn’t expect. But one truth was constant throughout the over two-week period: the broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) celebrated…

Despite abortion being an issue which continues to divide Americans, CNN Newsroom cheered the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down a Louisiana pro-life law as restoring “integrity” and “stability” in the law and “public’s expectations” on abortion. During the 10-minute-segment Monday morning, no journalist or analyst pointed out this law was aimed to protect the life of the…

ABC journalists on Monday breathlessly broke in with live reaction to the Supreme Court striking down a Louisiana law restricting abortion. The pivotal fifth vote was provided by John Roberts who sided with the Court’s liberals. Of course, this mean that now Roberts “cares a great deal” about being apolitical. ABC also repeated Planned Parenthood talking points about the Court and 2020.…

On Monday morning’s CNN Newsroom, host Jim Sciutto brought on political analyst Sabrina Siddiqui, chief legal analyst and national politics reporter Jeffrey Toobin, and Supreme Court analyst Joan Biskupic to celebrate the Supreme Court striking down a Louisiana law regulating abortions. Rejecting the guise of a news network, the panel unabashedly …

Last week, the liberal broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) celebrated two Supreme Court Rulings that went their way with some help from the conservative justices; one about gay rights and the other protecting DACA. But when it came to Thursday’s decision on a deportation case, which saw liberal Justices Breyer and Ginsburg join conservatives for a 7-to-2 majority in President Trump’s favor…

Chris Hayes, host of MSNBC’s All In¸ stated in a Thursday night interview with New York Times op-ed columnist Michelle Goldberg, that Chief Justice John Roberts acted politically to fight the Trump administration on LGBTQ and DACA in order to actually help Republicans in an election year. He particularly cited public polling to bolster the high court decisions.

Appearing as a guest on Friday's MSNBC Live with Stephanie Ruhle, contributor Michael Steele was true to form as an MSNBC Republican as he mocked conservatives for disapproving of liberal victories in recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings, and bizarrely suggested that iconic former conservative Justice Antonin Scalia would approve of the decisions.

On Friday’s Morning Joe, co-host Joe Scarborough just could not seem to resist his urge to trash President Trump and his supporters once again. In his first segment of Morning Joe, Scarborough turned a discussion about the latest Supreme Court ruling on DACA into an attack on Trump voters, namely evangelical voters with whom Trump is popular. Using religious language by referring to…

In a perfect example of how the left and the media put hating President Trump ahead of almost everything else (including their own political victories), the first reaction the broadcast networks had to the Supreme Court’s Thursday ruling protecting DACA was to boast about it being a “big blow” to the President. They would eventually note how hundreds of thousands of so-called “Dreamers” were…

ABC News broke in Thursday morning with an enthusiastic report hailing the Supreme Court for striking down the Trump administration’s bid to end the DACA program. Coming on the heels of the court’s pro-LGBT ruling earlier this week, the ABC journalists reveled in Chief Justice John Roberts “siding with the liberals” again but also giving a “body blow” to President Trump.

The View hosts celebrated the Supreme Court’s controversial ruling yesterday that extended the meaning of “sex” in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ban on employment discrimination to also now include gender identity and sexual orientation.Co-host Joy Behar reacted with glee, mocking Trump voters before trying to shame Justice Clarence Thomas.
