Trump/Georgia indictment

During the post-GOP presidential debate analysis on Thursday’s CBS Mornings and ABC’s Good Morning America (GMA), liberal journalists bellyached that the seven candidates didn’t obsess over the four indictments against former President Trump or fixate on a recent Truth Social post calling for charges to be brought against former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen.…

The late night comedy shows may be on strike which means they’ve had to go four months without offering up their hot takes on the news which they sought the remedy on the Thursday’s edition of their Strike Force Five podcast. When asked which news story he regrets not being able to cover, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel naturally chose Donald Trump.

Hot off the presses! On this episode of the NewsBusters Podcast, Managing Editor Curtis Houck and I discuss a brand new Rich Noyes on NewsBusters about the broadcast networks omitting the political party connections of the prosecutors going after former President Trump. Hint: They’re connected to Democrats. We also talked about the return of The View after their summer vacation.

Even though the various legal cases against Donald Trump are taking place in the obviously partisan environment of a presidential election, an examination of ABC, CBS and NBC evening news coverage finds the networks rarely identified even elected Democratic prosecutors as “Democrats.”

The View returned from their summer vacation following the Labor Day weekend on Tuesday for their 27^th season, and the cackling coven of ABC News co-hosts were itching to take swipes at former President Trump since they missed most of his indictments. Fill-in moderator Joy Behar (Whoopi Goldberg was out with COVID again, despite being vaccinated and boosted) was so scared…

Former President Donald Trump has returned to Twitter, now called X, two years after the platform banned him.

Never let anyone in the liberal media claim they’re not gleeful that former President Trump was booked and had his mugshot taken at a Fulton County jail. Nearly 40 minutes after concluding their opening segment about Trump surrendering to authorities in Georgia, the cast of CBS Mornings revisited the topic in their “What to Watch” segment so they could make fun of Trump’s “self-…

In a case of blatant election interference, both CNN & MSNBC refused to air Trump’s remarks live on the tarmac after his arrest in Fulton County, Georgia. In stark contrast, Fox News did air Trump’s comments live where he lashed out at being arrested for a fourth time in as many months. 

From time to time, we are reminded that Univision acts in a manner reminiscent of a leftwing immigration advocacy PAC with a broadcast license. Today, we have a stark reminder, when a network anchor overstates her enthusiasms on the day of Donald Trump's booking at the Fulton County Jail. 

Morning Joe shows sympathy and respect for Rudy Giuliani in the wake of his Georgia indictment, but is highly critical of Vivek Ramaswamy

When Jake Tapper tried to claim it was wildly wrong for Fox host Laura Ingraham to suggest liberal networks were reveling in the Trump indictments, he should have imagined MSNBC regulars sounding giddy at Trump being arraigned in Georgia in "a really dirty, dangerous scary place," where he could end up "really freaked out."

New York Times "democracy reporter" Nick Corasaniti adopted a vengeful tone in his report on Trump allies getting their legal comeuppance. The headline: “After Years of Lies, Election Deniers Face Something New: Consequences.” Corasaniti pushed a sinister argument: "Legal experts say those convictions are a key reason that recent provocations by Mr. Trump after his series of…

So just what was then-president Trump thinking when he called Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in early January 2021, and asked him to “find 11,780 votes” in Georgia, which if really there, would have put Trump over Biden in the close Georgia race? NewsHour congressional reporter Lisa Desjardins seemed confident she knew just what Trump was thinking in her Tuesday evening…

Joe Scarborough gloats to Rudy Giuliani over his indictment under RICO laws regarding the Georgia 2020 presidential election. Noting that as a prosecutor, Giuliani aggressively used the RICO laws, Scarborough says, "live by the sword, die by the sword."
