Political Scandals

After going 0-for-3 on Monday night’s broadcast network newscasts with the bombshell of Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitting his platforms (Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp) censored Covid-19 content and Hunter Biden posts over the last four years, ABC and NBC ended the brief blackout on Tuesday with a full segment on Good Morning America and brief on NBC’s Today. This left…

The liberal media can spin Wednesday’s inflation report however they want (and they have in some wild cases), but nothing changes the underlining facts how Americans continue to struggle. Even though one AP reporter eagerly wondered if “the inflation problem is solved”, Fox’s duo of Peter Doocy and Edward Lawrence showed up at that day’s White House press briefing to give both Karine Jean-…

Now that President Biden ended his term for a second term, the liberal media showed Wednesday a harbinger of things to come in finally admitting the charges and hubbub surrounding Hunter Biden and his life of ruin raised serious questions about his father, President Joe Biden.  While CBS Mornings skipped out, ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Today acknowledged…

Prior to Tuesday’s guilty verdict in the corruption trial of Democratic Senator Bob Menendez (NJ), the major broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC spent only nine minutes (8:56) on their flagship morning and evening newscasts and Sunday morning political talk shows. But by Tuesday night, they came out of the wilderness with six minutes of coverage (6:08).

A  new Media Research Center study found ABC, CBS and NBC devoted massive quantities of airtime (a whopping 1,608 minutes on just the three evening newscasts) to promoting the legal efforts against Trump, nearly all of it (95%) fiercely negative. Yet the liberal media’s crusade against the former president has utterly boomeranged.

For the Tuesday installment of The Daily Show on Comedy Central, Marlon Wayans broke out his Quan character as he interviewed former Fulton County special prosecutor Nathan Wade to ask if the affair with D.A. Fani Willis was worth ending democracy.

So over there at the conservative New York Post, a decided rival to the Establishment liberal “Gray Lady” the New York Times?

PBS News Hour may have launched a rebranding campaign this week with a new studio and a new name that now makes News Hour two words instead of one, but that doesn’t mean the weekly Friday recap with New York Times columnist David Brooks and Washington Post columnist and pinch hitter for Jonathan Capeheart, E.J. Dionne, was any better as the duo insisted…

All five of the late night comedy talk show hosts managed to acknowledge the existence of Hunter Biden’s guilty verdict on their Tuesday shows, but mentioning something is not the same thing as joking about it. Instead, the quintet used the verdict to go after Donald Trump, Republicans, and lament the lack of gun control in America.

When the news came down on Tuesday that Hunter Biden had been found guilty of the gun-related charges against him, the cast of Jose Diaz-Balart Reports only did what comes naturally to MSNBC: hype his father as the “embodiment of the rule of law” and promote his re-election campaign.

A Media Research Center analysis shows the networks have done their best to keep their coverage of Hunter Biden's criminal trial to a minimum, avoiding any discussion of the more serious legal allegations surrounding Hunter’s business dealings. ABC, CBS and NBC have also shown consistent sympathy towards an obviously dysfunctional First Family.

After the confidential files of hundreds of Republicans were found in Democrat Bill Clinton’s White House safe, journalists decided quickly to chalk it up to the “general incompetence” of Clinton’s youthful staff, and instead blasted Republicans for making “ugly” charges in an election year.

When Washington Post associate editor and MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart and New York Times columnist David Brooks recapped former President Donald Trump’s conviction on PBS NewsHour one week ago, they hailed it as a victory for the rule of law and warned that anyone who dissented was simply being political and a grave threat to institutions. When it came to discussing…

On Wednesday morning, the “big three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC continued to surprisingly give full segment to the Hunter Biden trial, but this left the overall tally at 37 minutes (37:11) versus the 71 minutes (70:43) at this point in the Trump trial. On the substance, they all casually brought up Hunter Biden’s “controversial” laptop despite years of either denying its existence or brushing it…
