‘CBS Mornings’ Becomes First Network Show to Air WILD Talarico Clips
In what took only a few seconds and thus proving how easy it should be to do their supposed jobs as journalists, Tuesday’s CBS Mornings became the first flagship morning or evening broadcast network newscast — meaning ABC, CBS, and NBC — to mention Texas Democrat senatorial candidate James Talarico’s radical views on gender and religion in a larger piece about Tuesday’s Texas…

MS NOW Panel Admits: Beating Ken Paxton in Texas An ‘Uphill Battle'

Lead Network Newscasts Ignore DNC’s DUMPSTER FIRE Autopsy on 2024
On Thursday, the Democratic National Committee’s 2024 autopsy finally reached the public view, and its error-filled, omission-laden contents were laid bare following a much-ballyhooed, will-they-or-won’t-they-release-it strategy by Chairman Ken Martin as the party struggles to achieve basic aims like fundraising. Unsurprisingly, the “Big Three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC ignored it on their flagship…
Daniels: Dems Should Focus On Kitchen Table Issues Like Trans Kids
Even by the low standards of MS NOW, senior Washington correspondent Eugene Daniels’s Thursday appearance on Chris Jansing Reports was a stellar example of how not to do journalism. Daniels’s title suggests that the network views him as a reporter, but he decided to go full activist. According to him, Democrats need “to be more comfortable with power” and that the party needs to…
STUDY: Stephen Colbert Turned 'The Late Show' Into 'The DNC Show'
Stephen Colbert was well into his farewell media tour when he told GQ, “I think I'm more conservative than people think.” However, according to an aggregation of previous NewsBusters studies and quote packages, that is not true.

MS NOW Promotes Platner and Mamdani as Future, Hits on Spencer Pratt
In the final minutes of Tuesday’s Katy Tur Reports, the MS NOW host discussed the Democrats’ 2024 election autopsy that had not been released as she and Democratic strategist Morris Katz minimized Maine Senate Candidate Graham Platner’s controversies, including a Nazi tattoo, and then went after LA Mayoral Candidate Spencer Pratt’s style.
MS NOW's Wild Spin: GOP Seeks 'Decimation of Black Political Power'
On Saturday's The Weekend, MS NOW displayed overt hypocrisy by having on House Minority Whip and Congresswoman Katherine Clark (D-MA) to complain about Southern Republicans cutting Democrat-leaning seats when her own home state has shut out Republicans from all its congressional districts since the 1990s.
Sharpton Voting Rights Vision: 'Protect Your Lifestyle' of Dependence
In Saturday’s episode of MS NOW’s The Weekend: Primetime, Rev. Al Sharpton offered one of the clearest — and most depressing — expressions of a certain strain of modern progressive thinking. In Sharpton's bleak vision, "your lifestyles, everything you want," will be doled out by the government and is danger of being taken away if the right people aren't elected. Not a word of…
