After having two days off for President Biden’s State of the Union and trip to Wisconsin, Thursday brought the return of The Psaki Show and, with the Biden administration still refusing to ban the import of Russian oil, the questions were fierce. They included a slew from Fox’s Jacqui Heinrich with one presenting Psaki with the notion that the U.S. is “financing” Russia’s “war” against Ukraine…

During a Wednesday interview with Kentucky GOP Rep. James Comer on MSNBC, White House correspondents Kristen Welker and Peter Alexander sounded more like White House press secretaries as they battled Comer on everything from COVID messaging to inflation to President Biden’s economic record.

On the eve of President Biden’s first State of the Union address, Monday, the broadcast networks previewed his big speech and each took a different approach, with ABC lamenting that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine “forced” Biden to change his speech and CBS touting a fence around the Capitol. NBC was the outlier that showed Biden’s new terrible poll numbers from… ABC!

During a rowdy and contentious panel segment on Sunday’s Meet the Press, panelist and NBC chief Washington correspondent and MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell made the hilarious claim that she’s a journalist and not a Democrat.

On the Saturday edition of Today on NBC, political contributor and PBS Washington Week host Yamiche Alcindor reacted to the news of Ketanji Brown Jackson’s nomination to the Supreme Court with excitement that Democratic activists will have another voice on the Court, but lamented that her ability to actually bring change is limited.

The network newscasts on Thursday morning parroted Biden talking points when it comes to the President’s handling of the escalating Ukranian crisis. None of them questioned Joe Biden’s control of a situation that seems to be spiraling out of control. Instead, NBC assured Americans that the Democrat is “sensitive” to ramifications like sky high gas prices. 

In the morning after Russian President Vladimir Putin all but annexed two Ukrainian provinces, the major broadcast network newscasts largely chose Tuesday to absolve President Biden and his team for Putin feeling emboldened to take another step in what he views as reclaiming the old Russian empire.

On Friday, the annual March of Life was held in Washington, D.C. to mark the sad 49th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, which led to the deaths of tens of millions of unborn children in the Unites States through abortion. On Saturday, NBC’s Today show gave a few seconds to the massive pro-life demonstration while spending the rest of its report on promoting Planned Parenthood’s efforts to…

The hits just keep on coming for Joe Biden! On Thursday night's edition of NBC Nightly News, anchor Lester Holt sent his chief White House correspondent Kristen Welker down to South Carolina to interview African American voters about their softening support of President Biden. 

Wednesday marked what had to have been one of the more stressful days at the White House as President Biden spent nearly two hours before reporters, calling on 24 of them and fielding over 60 questions on a robust set of issues (aside from crime and illegal immigration). We've already covered the questions from Fox’s Peter Doocy, the New York Post’s Steven Nelson, Newsmax’s James…

As NewsBusters documented Thursday morning, the anniversary of January 6 was their Super Bowl as the broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) spent nearly 90-combined-minutes obsessing over the riot at the Capitol like their political careers depended on it. That infatuation cared over through half-time (to stick with the football nomenclature) to their evening newscasts where CBS and NBC each…

MSNBC White House correspondent Mike Memoli joined MTP Daily guest host Kristen Welker on Monday to preview what is to come in 2022. For Memoli, the early part of this year will be focused on Democrats' desire to push "voting rights" because they are "really in jeopardy" across the country."

Tuesday’s White House press briefing was jam-packed amid Russian troops gathering on the border with Ukraine and a high-stakes call between President Biden and Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, so it was a welcome sight when Fox’s Jacqui Heinrich and others highlighted the U.S.’s acquiescence to Russia on the Nord Stream II pipeline, Biden’s lack of public comments about the tensions, and…

The polling collapse of the Joe Biden presidency has reached the stage where the networks are no longer able to spin or hide the increasingly terrible numbers engulfing the Democrat. On Monday morning, ABC, CBS and NBC all covered the “devastating” ABC News/Washington Post survey finding Biden at just 38 percent approval among registered voters.
