‘Does Truth Matter?‘ CBS All But Backs Harris After Debate, Swift Post
With Kamala Harris donor and Obama family friend Gayle King the lead host, CBS Mornings is always going to have a heaping of instances in which they come off as unofficial state-run TV for the left. But Wednesday’s show reacting to the second 2024 presidential debate went over the edge as King repeatedly showed her excitement over Taylor Swift endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris…
‘Backlash’! CBS, NBC Join AP’s Smear of Vance for GA Shooting Remark
Hours after the Associated Press fired off a since-deleted viral tweet falsely claiming 2024 GOP vice presidential candidate JD Vance shrugged off school shootings like Wednesday’s in Georgia as “a fact of life,” Friday’s CBS Mornings and NBC’s Today joined in this a blatant case of election interference by touting the “backlash” to Vance’s comment...which was actually about…
Gayle King: GA Shooting Proves America Thinks ‘It’s Okay to Kill Kids’
On Thursday’s CBS Mornings, co-host and Kamala Harris donor Gayle King reacted to Wednesday’s deadly shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia by continuing her decade-plus crusade for mass gun control, arguing this time the deaths of two students and two teachers was proof Americans believe “it’s okay to kill kids” since nothing’s been “done to stop” school shootings.
CBS’s Dokoupil Grills Biden Education Sec. on Axing Dept, Loan Debt
In a story we didn’t get to last week, CBS Mornings brought on Biden-Harris Education Secretary Miguel Cardona during the August 29 show and co-host Tony Dokoupil admirably grilled him on what he probably thought was going to be an easy interview about a supposed bus tour to promote public education. Instead, it turned into a back-and-forth on the cost of the Biden White House’s…
Nets Drool Over Harris-Walz CNN Interview, Cheer ‘Methodical’ Kamala
On Friday, the “Big Three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC opened their flagship morning news shows by rhetorically gallivanting over Thursday night’s CNN exclusive interview with Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) (after having not done an interview since President Biden was forced out).
ABC Joins Smearing of Trump Over Arlington, Vance’s ‘Charged Language’
After one news cycle staying out of the left’s manufactured scandal of former President Trump’s Monday visit to Arlington National Cemetery with some of the families of the 13 Americans killed at the Kabul airport (as they were busy drooling over Vice President Harris’s bus tour), ABC joined the fake hubbub on Thursday’s Good Morning America about Trump “politiciz[ing] the military”…
CBS Swoons Kamala’s DNC Speech Was ‘Feat of Political Athleticism’
Despite co-host, Obama family friend, and Kamala Harris donor Gayle King getting an early start on the weekend, Friday’s CBS Mornings still had plenty of partisan lunacy reacting to the final night of the Democratic National Convention and describing Kamala Harris’s speech that “echo[ed] Obama” and “[brought] down the house” with “[t]he sound of history” and “a feat of political…
Here’s the Worst Moments From CBS’s Syrupy Celebration of Oprah/Walz
Thursday’s CBS Mornings spent nearly its entire two hours of run time (with commercials) celebrating the previous day’s proceedings at the Democratic National Convention as if they have a personal stake in ensuring Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) win in November. Not only that, but the show felt the need to ebulliently hold up the various speakers at the DNC,…
CBS: DNC Has Better Music Since 'They Travel,' Have 'Common Humanity'
Before Kamala Harris formally accepted the Democratic presidential nomination on Thursday, CBS Mornings sought to answer a critically important question: “Why is it that the Democrats' music is just better?” Co-host Tony Dokoupil mused that it is because they travel more, while The Daily Show’s Ronny Chieng surmised it was because art best fits inside a left-wing worldview.…
CBS: ‘Virtuoso’ Obamas Created ‘Phenomenal’, ‘Cultural Moment’ at DNC
With co-host, Democratic donor, and Obama family friend Gayle King helming CBS Mornings, Wednesday’s show was packed to the brim with adulation among King and a host of pals for the “virtuoso performance” by Barack and Michelle Obama addressing the Democratic National Convention the night prior in what they insisted will be remembered as not only an “energetic” and “phenomenal” “one-…
Boring IS Propaganda: CBS, NBC Spoonfeed Lame Recaps on DNC Opening
Instead of sharing any number of the partisan and false statements from President Biden’s speech (which our friends at National Review, RedState, and Townhall ably took on) or any of the other speakers, Tuesday’s CBS Mornings and NBC’s Today attempted to lull viewers not so much with puffball, almost erotic adulation of the Democrats that we saw on ABC’s Good Morning…
Dokoupil Grills DNC Chair on Kamala Being MIA, Night Ending Late
Amid the boringly promotional coverage masquerading as objective recaps on night one of the Democratic National Convention, Tuesday’s CBS Mornings delivered one example of a broadcast network pressing Democrats. Co-host Tony Dokoupil came through as he grilled Democratic National Committee Chairman Jamie Harrison on night one’s logistical nightmares, Kamala Harris’s lack of official…
New Talking Points Dropped: Reporters Salivate over ‘Electric’ DNC
The media’s relentless astro-turfing of support for Kamala Harris went into overdrive on the first night of the DNC. Either somebody from the campaign distributed talking points to the media, or else everyone at CNN, MSNBC, and the broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) independently rediscovered the word “electric” at exactly the same time.
Endorsements and Honeyed Words: CBS Mornings Interview with Wes Moore
Maryland Governor Wes Moore (D) appeared during the second hour of Tuesday’s CBS Mornings. The segment, which was little more than a puff interview, included a plethora of fawning statements from the governor for the Biden administration, as well as a reiteration of his refusal to accept a possible vice presidential pick.
