Media Bias Debate

NBC’s Jimmy Fallon returned to the subject of CBS and 60 Minutes firing Scott Pelley on Thursday by playing a satirical 60 Minutes intro that featured what he considered to be some of the replacements CBS could try to “appeal to Trump” and included Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.

Appearing as a guest late Wednesday on MS NOW's The 11th Hour, former NBC News chairman Andy Lack slammed CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss for her efforts to reform the 60 Minutes show, including the recent firing of Scott Pelley, displaying an almost sexist attitude toward Weiss as he imagined how 60 Minutes founder Don Hewitt might have responded.

Wednesday’s PBS News Hour brought on former veteran CBS 60 Minutes reporter Steve Kroft  — the man behind a series of Obama interviews so embarrassing the MRC penned a Special Report about them — to defend the media’s self-anointed golden hour, the long-time Sunday newsmagazine which has suffered ideologically motivated convulsions and now firings of prominent journalists,…

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel and NBC’s The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon denounced CBS for firing 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley after his meltdown during an internal meeting where he viciously attacked his new bosses. Both alleged, with no evidence, that CBS is moving dramatically rightward while making the same quip about Pelley being replaced by Stephen Colbert’s replacement…

How many people can walk into their workplace, defecate on the new management, insult their new direct supervisor, and get immediately fired for cause right before getting a glowing sendoff on the way out? Well, there’s Scott Pelley, apparently, given the sendoff he just got from the CBS Evening News. 

Yesterday, Scott Pelley lectured his new 60 Minutes boss on how the network was “MURDERING” the Elitist Media’s most hallowed news magazine. In the process, he ended up committing career seppuku and has just been shown the door by CBS News.

CNN This Morning host Audie Cornish used Friday's Group Chat to promote her new CNN podcast, Engagement Party, co-hosted with former NPR colleague Ari Shapiro, brought onto the Chat panel. The discussion quickly turned into a nostalgic send-off for Stephen Colbert’s Late Show — complete with another NPR alum, CNN contributor Lulu Garcia-Navarro, on the panel.

On Sunday night, MS NOW host Ayman Mohyeldin admitted "I can't really speak for Republican voters, I don't know them very well." On Monday's CNN This Morning, host Audie Cornish offered a full segment on the state of the GOP after the defeat of incumbent Sen. Bill Cassidy in the Louisiana primary — with zero Republicans on the panel.

CBS’s Stephen Colbert has the week off, but he still found time to stop by The New York Times for an interview with John Koblin that was published on Tuesday to look back on his time as host of The Late Show that will come to an end on May 21. Throughout the interview, Colbert remained blind to the idea that his raging partisanship led to his downfall.

One of the most enlightening things about the former Elite Media, allegedly straight news anchors starting their own podcasts and Substacks, is being able to see what they truly think, and nobody has been exposed quite like former CNN host Jim Acosta and former CBS and NBC anchor Katie Couric. On the former’s Friday show, the pair teamed up to urge reporters to be prepared to “walk the fuck…

On Friday’s CNN This Morning, the network previewed this weekend’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner by spotlighting a highly questionable choice by the White House Correspondents' Association—and then compounding it with a guest selection that ensured a one-sided Trump-bashing segment.

CNN host Dana Bash argued that objective reporting now means “objectively” challenging the lies of public officials – and guess which side apparently does all the lying. "Objective reporting doesn't mean just giving all sides of the issue," Bash said. "Objective reporting now, rightly so, means explaining what somebody says when it's false or when it's not right or when it's misleading."

Former CBS reporter Scott MacFarlane joined Don Lemon on his Thursday Substack show to discuss leaving CBS for “independent” journalism and to continue to prove he might as well be living on another planet because he claimed the move will help him cover stories that are not currently being covered. By uncovered stories, MacFarlane did not mean super nerdy aspects of public policy or scientific…

While they celebrate the leftist "No Kings" protests this weekend, the Left is monitoring the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Texas. Mediaite was alarmed by FCC Chairman Brendan Carr's comments about how "President Trump is taking on the fake news media, and President Trump is winning."
