Nets Freak Over 'Conservative' Justices 28 Times, Liberals Only 3
In the first 24 hours after the leaking of a draft ruling showing the Supreme Court appears ready to overturn Roe vs. Wade, all three networks melted down over the “conservatives” on the court, labeling them a whopping 28 times. On these same shows, there were only three “liberal” labels and all of them came from CBS.

CBS Worries Overturning Roe Could Lead to Bans on Gay Marriage
On Tuesday’s CBS Evening News, anchor Norah O’Donnell was reporting live from the Supreme Court in the wake of the leaked draft of a court decision that would completely overturn Roe vs. Wade. During her coverage, she was clearly stunned by the apparent decision and the leak and baselessly worried that the decision would lead to a ban on gay marriage and contraceptives.

Good Friday: NBC Chats With Leftist in ‘Thank God for Abortion’ Shirt
NBC’s Today show decided that the best way to mark Good Friday was to talk to a radical, left-wing activist wearing a t-shirt that read, “Thank God for Abortion.” It was part of hysterical coverage across all three network morning shows bemoaning an “abortion crackdown” across the country, with Florida’s new pro-life legislation being the latest skirmish in the “battle over abortion…

Nets Get Weak Knees Over ‘Genuine,’ ‘Remarkable’ KBJ’s ‘Beaming Smile’
The “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC decided Friday afternoon that they had to up their game for the White House’s celebration of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation, waxing poetic about the “extraordinary” “party” for Jackson, who exudes “excellence” in the face of “persistent sexism,” “racism,” and “attacks” from Republicans and those who haven’t joined in “this moment of…

Insufferable CBS Goes Gaga for Jackson, Demand GOP Do 'Soul-Searching'
As was the case on ABC and NBC, CBS flaunted its liberal leanings and gush Thursday for incoming Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson following her Senate confirmation vote, couching their admiration in her being someone to revere beyond ideology (given her gender and skin color) while admonishing Republicans for having “wasted” her confirmation hearings and suggested senators do “soul-…

‘No Spark’; CBS Sneers at ‘Debunked’ GOP Claims About Jackson
Wednesday’s CBS Mornings went above and beyond to prop up Biden Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson with almost 11 minutes of eye-rolling spin, denouncing Republican queries as unrelated to Jackson and instead to please their base, mocked concerns about her history on sentencing child sex predators as having “no there there,” and described Republicans as having failed to “…

CBS Absurdly Claims Jackson ‘Almost Sounded Like A Conservative’
During a break in day two of Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Senate confirmation hearings on Tuesday, CBS News special coverage laughably tried to claim that the left-wing Supreme Court nominee “almost sounded like a conservative” as she answered questions from lawmakers. Later in the discussion, there was fretting over the war in Ukraine being a “distraction” from Jackson’s “historic moment.”

ABC Ignores GOP Criticism of Judge Jackson's Nomination
After the kickoff of the first official day of confirmation hearings for President Biden's Supreme Court nominee, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, the network evening newscasts were eager to promote her nomination. While all three networks hyped her qualifications and background, not all gave equal time for Republican criticism. To their credit, both CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly…

Nets Swoon Over Jackson, Declare Her Immune From GOP Criticism
Moments after President Biden’s left-wing Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson concluded her opening statement during Monday afternoon’s Senate confirmation hearing, the broadcast networks went to work hailing her performance and preemptively declaring her immune from any Republican criticism.

Nets Fretted Over ‘Staunch Conservative’ Picks, Skimp on Lib Labels
Joe Biden on February 25 nominated Ketanji Brown Jackson to fill the vacancy of Justice Stephen Breyer. When it comes to ideological labels for Supreme Court nominees, the networks have one rule: Republican nominees are “staunch,” worrisome conservatives. Democratic picks are rarely labeled as extreme liberals.

STUDY: Lying Nets Spin Retiring Breyer as a ‘Pragmatic’ ‘Centrist'
When Joe Biden announces his new Supreme Court nominee in February, you can probably be sure of one thing: Media outlets will call this person a “moderate.” The network newscasts are pushing that same (false) talking point on Stephen Breyer after he announced his retirement from the Court.
CBS Edits Out Own Reporter SLAMMING School Closures for Harming Kids

Nets Fret That 'Strong New Conservative Majority' Could Doom Roe
All three networks on Wednesday worried that the “strong new conservative majority,” the “solidly conservative” Supreme Court might actually overturn Roe vs. Wade in a pivotal case now being heard. Yet the same morning shows never identified who might be the “solid” or “strong” liberals on the Supreme Court.
