There’s this thing going on wherein Biden officials have to go on camera and state that the president’s mental acumen and absolute command of the facts are without peer. The latest official to render this ritualistic praise is Treasury Secretary Janey Yellen, and she did so on CBS Evening News.

“Disappointing”. “Frustrating”. “A rough day for the markets”. After this morning’s cheerful attempts to spin the higher-than-expected Consumer Price Index for January, the networks have very clearly course-corrected. The evening newscasts were far more reflective of the harsh reality of what the report indicated. 

As fate would have it, it fell upon one of CBS’s most ardent anti-Israel reporters, correspondent Debora Patta, to report on the news of countries pulling funding from UNRWA due to employee involvement in Hamas’ barbaric October 7th attack against Israel. Needless to say, the report went exactly as you’d expect.

After Monday’s Supreme Court ruling vacating a lower court ruling that had allowed Texas to place razor wire along the U.S.-Mexico border without inference from the Biden Border Patrol, the flagship morning and evening newscasts on ABC and NBC have moved on from the border showdown, even as tensions rise with Governor Greg Abbott (R-TX) remaining resolute in having Texas Department of Public…

Is water wet? Is the sky blue? What’s the logo of Target? These questions all seem obvious, but the question of who would receive the 2024 presidential endorsement of the far-left United Auto Workers was big news for the “big three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC on Wednesday night and Thursday morning. As such, they marveled at the “powerful” union’s “big endorsement” of President Biden as he “[h]it[s…

As is often the case, the network newscasts will tout a narrative that is friendly to Democrats in power. In this case, that would be the Biden administration. But as is also often the case, the networks will shut down or suppress new information that will contravene that narrative. Such is the case with the ongoing battle between Texas and the Biden Department of Homeland Security over a…

The “AWFUL” in the title is not an indictment in se of CBS Evening News anchor Norah O’Donnell’s jubilant report on St. Paul, Minnesota’s new, diverse, all-female city council, but an acronym: Affluent, White, Female, University-educated, and Liberal; the type that would reflexively cheer this story. And in O’Donnell’s case, foist it upon others by selecting it to close out the…

Tuesday saw a possible monumental twist in the Hunter Biden saga as Biden said he would be willing to comply with a House Oversight Committee subpoena and testify publicly (even though the committee currently wants a private deposition) about his life of ruin, corruption, and allegations of malfeasance involving his father, the current President.  But like most Biden scandals, it received…

‘Tis the season for bad propaganda and even worse holiday punnery. CBS News kicks off the holiday season with an oversized serving of pro-Biden stuffing, aiming to soften the impact of continued food inflation upon millions of American families celebrating Thanksgiving.

The media effort to stop a potential Joe Manchin presidential run is all-hands-on-deck. “Imperative”, even. The latest member of the Acela Media to try to deflate the Manchin balloon is CBS Evening News anchor Norah O’Donnell.

ABC, CBS, NBC actually covered, on their Wednesday evening news programs, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer’s subpoenas of Hunter and James Biden. However, they spent only 100 seconds total on it.

By now it is a matter of public knowledge that a 69-year-old Jewish man protesting in California died as a result of striking his head on the pavement subsequent to being hit in the face with a megaphone by an anti-Israel protester. For some unexplained reason, CBS News continues to refuse to fully report the circumstances of this crime.

During the first six weeks of House Democrats’ 2019 impeachment inquiry into Donald Trump, the ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts churned out a staggering 398 minutes of coverage, TWENTY TIMES more coverage than they’ve supplied to the Joe Biden impeachment inquiry this year.

Wednesday’s CBS Evening News featured an abhorrent segment trying to put anti-Semitism and Islamophobia on the same plane as equally disturbing and prevalent after Hamas’s October 7 mass terror attacks on innocents in Israel that left over 1,400 dead and over 200 taken hostage. After years of arguing and implying there isn’t two sides in politics to smear the GOP, the liberal media…
