On Thursday night after the final 2020 presidential debate, CBS News put its thumb on the scale for the Biden campaign in helping to drag him across the finish line, surmising President Trump wasn’t able to jettison himself back into the race due to grim attacks on Hunter Biden, an insensitivity to race issues, and spewing a torrent of lies.

CBS was unamused Wednesday night, tearing into Vice President Mike Pence as a disaster and lacking respect for Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) by interrupting her during their vice presidential debate. Led by Democratic donor, Obama family friend, Cory Booker friend, and CBS This Morning co-host Gayle King, the network painted a picture of a losing effort by a Vice President, who was…

While President Trump continues to recover from the coronavirus, on Tuesday, the classless hosts on CBS This Morning hoped that he wouldn’t score any sympathy “points” with voters for overcoming the illness. As 60 Minutes correspondent John Dickerson crassly put it: “You don’t get points for standing if you shot yourself in the foot.”

Refusing to let go of campaign politics even for a day, on Friday, CBS This Morning seized on President Trump’s COVID-19 diagnosis as the “October surprise” of the 2020 campaign. The broadcast also decided that it was important, just hours after the troubling news broke, to remind viewers of polling showing the pandemic was a supposed political advantage for Joe Biden.

All three networks opened their Friday morning broadcasts eagerly promoting the idea that President Trump becomes gravely ill from the coronavirus. Immediately after he announced his positive test overnight, CNN broke in with hours of ghoulish gossip, expecting the worst, and this morning the more subdued networks floated the same possibility

On Wednesday morning, hosts and correspondents for the Big Three network morning shows were absolutely livid over President Trump’s Tuesday night debate performance, exclusively blaming him for making the event a “disgrace” and “an insult to our democracy.” Meanwhile, some tried to paint Biden as the “winner” of the exchange.

CBS continued their spin for Joe Biden as they grilled the president’s son, following last night's presidential debate. As Don Jr. brought up Biden's scandals the media won’t touch, the CBS team repeatedly cut him off, proving his point. 

With some ABC journalists rhetorically reporting from Mars, CBS’s post-debate coverage found itself Tuesday night along similar lines as NBC, which likewise placed the lion’s share of blame on the President (instead of Joe Biden or Chris Wallace) for the debate having spun out of control. So, what CBS’s argument for blaming Trump wielding “a saw tooth” and Biden leaning more towards being…

On Thursday night, CBS made it three-for-three in terms of the major broadcast networks displaying a night and day difference between their reactions to Joe Biden’s DNC speech and President Trump addressing the RNC. While CBS saw Biden’s remarks as “from the heart,” “great,” “incredible” and “soaring,” they derided Trump’s White House communiqué as “misleading,” possibly illegal, requiring “…

On Thursday night after Vice President Mike Pence’s 2020 RNC speech, ABC journalists and liberal panelists were less-than-pleased he didn’t forcefully speak out against Sunday’s shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin, condemn armed individuals defending businesses from rioters, and accept responsibility for the size and scope of the coronavirus pandemic.

Late Tuesday night, the “big three” broadcast networks were trapped between a rock and a hard place. ABC, CBS, and NBC found themselves begrudgingly praising First Lady Melania Trump’s 2020 RNC speech and while they did plenty of that, they found an escape hatch by using her speech to broadly attack all speakers before her on Monday and Tuesday. Meanwhile, NBC Nightly News anchor…

While nowhere near Barack Obama in terms of infatuation, the liberal media did their best on Thursday night to sing the praises of Joe Biden following his 2020 DNC acceptance speech. And CBS did its part, trumpeting his “great,” “incredible,” “soaring” speech “from the heart” that was the “strongest” of his career.

On Wednesday night, the broadcast networks reminded viewers of their undying love and adoration for former President Barack Obama, hailing his 2020 DNC remarks as a “pretty amazing” speech about “democracy” and “hope” that warned the former is “at stake” in 2020. And if that wasn’t enough, ABC claimed it would be “eloquent” and “edge” before it even happened while CBS called it afterward “the…

Michelle Obama’s pre-recorded speech for the first night of the Democratic convention was praised effusively and automatically by the "news" media. Because the media see it as their job to praise everything Michelle Obama does with overwhelming enthusiasm. Please try this imaginative exercise: When has a “news” professional ever asked Michelle Obama a challenging question? Instead, she is the…
