Margaret Brennan

It was a deeply weird Sunday at CBS. Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan argued that free speech led to the Holocaust, as if the Nazis allowed free speech. Then 60 Minutes promoted German prosecutors fining and jailing people for "hate speech" on social media. CBS likes a little "German order" on the internet. Jorge Bonilla joins the show to ponder the CBS mysteries.

CBS’s Margaret Brennan continues on a tour-de-force of galaxy brained takes that ultimately cause her to get smacked down by her conservative interlocutor. The latest such instance involves her assertion that the Holocaust was caused by (weaponized) free speech, which was promptly and thoroughly rebuffed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

The media continue to frantically push to save the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) from the DOGE scalpel. This effort was the basis of today’s interview between CBS’s Margaret Brennan and original Squad Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN).

Instead of considering why Americans voted for Trump and his campaign promise to task Elon Musk with creating a Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to attack government spending, Wednesday’s CBS Evening News and Thursday’s CBS Mornings chose to tug at one’s emotional heartstrings by holding up food sent through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to…

The massive grift at the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and other such agencies is coming to focus as they each come into contact with the DOGE chainsaw. CBS’s Margaret Brennan fought tooth and nail in defense of these agencies and their funding.

The new and revamped CBS Evening News emerged after much hype and a treacly send-off for its prior anchor, Norah O’Donnell. After watching its maiden broadcast one is left wondering: is it too late for Norah to come back? 

Conservatives wonder why J.D. Vance is wasting his time with liberals like CBS Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan. But when you watch him methodically take down every hostile question from Brennan, it's a win for him and a loss for CBS. MRC's Jorge Bonilla breaks down the battle. The VP named JD was messing with CBS. It’s the newsbusters podcast, I’m tim graham.  The "CBS Evening…

The following are just a few of the most obnoxious outbursts from the John Dickerson and Margaret Brennan over the years (via the MRC archives).

When CBS announced that it landed the first post-inaugural interview with Vice President JD Vance, with Margaret Brennan on Face the Nation, many conservatives questioned why Vance would even give the time of day to hateful “legacy” media. Within minutes, we had our answer.

While it lacked the schoolings NBC’s liberal journalists faced at the hands of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and longtime GOP hand Hogan Gidley or ABC’s degree of Biden apple polishing, CBS held its own during Monday’s Trump inauguration thanks to the pomposity and obsession with January 6 on the part of many of their lead anchors. NewsBusters slogged through the first nine hours of…

The results of the Worst Media Take of the Week are in and the winner is….

At CBS’s Deface the Nation, moderator got more than she bargained for during a discussion over the appointment of Kash Patel to lead the FBI with her guest, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC). Graham absolutely schooled Brennan over her (and by extension the “legacy media’s) coverage of the now-debunked and discredited Russia Hoax.

POLL: What Was the Worst Media Take of the Week?

ABC, CBS, and NBC broke in Wednesday night for President Biden’s farewell address and, while they were never in total awe like they were with Barack Obama, they still showed their stripes in cheering the “advocate for working people” giving “very personal” “speech for the history books” and delivering an “extraordinary” message about the decline of “fact-checking” and an “oligarchy...that…
