Name That Party

In a New Day segment on a teenager in North Dakota run down and killed by a driver after what the driver admitted was a political argument in which he called the teenager an extremist Republican, CNN doesn't mention the Republican affiliation of the victim. 

After five days of silence from the major broadcast networks, ABC’s Good Morning America broke ranks Tuesday to rediscover the brutal murder of longtime Las Vegas Review-Journal reporter Jeff German allegedly at the hands of Democratic Clark County, Nevada Public Administrator Robert Telles. And, beyond that, ABC broke the network-wide blackout in noting Telles’s party ID.

Morning Joe fails to identify as a Democrat the man charged with the murder of a Las Vegas investigative reporter, and spends only 47 seconds on the story. CNN's New Day devotes over three minutes to the story, and though it buries the fact deep in the segment, does eventually identify the suspect, Robert Telles, as a "Democratic politician."

On Wednesday afternoon, Clark County, Nevada Public Administrator and Democratic Party official Robert Telles was arrested in connection with the death of Las Vegas Review-Journal investigative reporter Jeff German following a series of stories German had penned about what sources told him was an abusive culture in Telles’s official and an inappropriate relationship with a colleague. Of course…

In the wake of the jury in the Derek Chauvin murder trial finding him guilty of all three charges Tuesday, ABC’s World News Tonight wasted zero time kicking things into a disgustingly political gear by suggesting that Republicans were against the Floyd family and police reform just because a bill with George Floyd’s name on it had stalled.

With the streets of the nation’s capital being turned into “fortresses of plywood,” as coined by CBS Homeland Security correspondent Jeff Pegues on Monday, the broadcast networks refused to say just who they were protecting their businesses from. CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News spoke in vague terms of “violence” and “unrest.” While ABC’s World News Tonight…

Telemundo just threw journalistic ethics and objectivity out the window in what could amount to the most brazen, pro-Biden endorsement to air so far in Spanish-language news media during this election cycle: a lengthy, multiplatform “voter education” report featuring a young Argentinian mother, now a U.S. citizen, who “Just 9 years ago, became a citizen. And this election year, she’s all in…

While the liberal media (NBC included) has repeatedly told us there were no problems with mail-in-voting (not to be confused with absentee voting), NBC political director Chuck Todd found something to gripe about during Sunday’s Meet the Press. According to him, the real problem with mail-in-voting was state election officials disqualifying ballots, which could help Trump take key…

On Wednesday, former Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh (D) was indicted on 11 counts of fraud and tax invasion concerning her Healthy Holly book series that had forced her out of office on May 2. If convicted on all counts, she could face 175 years in jail. And while ABC’s World News Tonight and NBC Nightly News didn’t believe it was worth informing the public about, the CBS Evening News covered…

Oklahoma held the title for the highest lockup rate in the country (1 in every 100 residents), but that began to change on Monday after some 500 non-violent offenders had their sentences commuted by sweeping criminal justice reform. ABC, CBS, and NBC celebrated the move during their evening newscasts but ignored the role of the heavily Republican-control legislature and the Republican governor…

On Friday, unsealed court documents named former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell and former Clinton cabinet official and ex-New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson as among those who allegedly had sex with an underage victim of Jeffrey Epstein. But while all three evening news broadcasts covered the case, one thing was missing: any hint that those two men are Democrats.
