We’ve been told, over and over and over again, that Kamala Harris is the candidate of “joy.” Tim Walz, upon accepting his vice presidential nomination, thanked her for “bringing back the joy.” Rolling Stone gushed that Harris’ “new politics of joy is the best way to fight fascism.” The New York Times headlined, “Harris used to worry about laughing. Now joy is fueling her…

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,…

In a follow-up to their idea from the previous evening when CNN host Erin Burnett floated the idea that Vice President Kamala Harris shouldn’t do interviews, a panel of CNN “journalists” led into the final night of the Democratic National Convention on Thursday by arguing that she should not even publish her policy positions for the public to scrutinize. And according to another host, the…

The producers didn’t plan for the biopic about the life of Ronald Reagan to open so close to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, but delays caused by the pandemic and an actors strike led to its release on August 30. It seems easier to portray a historical figure that no one currently living remembers. In the case of “Reagan,” the challenge would appear especially challenging. Actor…

On Night 2 of the Democratic Convention, anchor Amna Nawaz was talking to former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in the PBS booth when they were joined by veteran PBS journalist Judy Woodruff. Nawaz took advantage by tossing aside her journalist hat and hosting a heartfelt feminist kaffeeklatsch hailing VP Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential candidate, as a feminist hero on “the…

Morning Joe is enraptured by Michelle Obama's line from her DNC speech: "hope is making a comeback." But remind us: who's been in charge for the last—apparently hopeless—four years? Oh, right: it was the administration of Joe Biden and . . . Kamala Harris.

NBC’s Today came out firing Thursday thoroughly pleased with how their friends at the Democratic National Convention programmed the night prior, deeming it an “unforgettable” and “supercharged” night “heavy on star power” with vice presidential nominee Tim Walz giving off “Midwest dad energy” hounded by Republicans and Oprah Winfrey “expand[ing] the tent” for Democrats.

During a devastating ABC interview, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo dismissed damning news from the Biden administration as lies from former President Trump.

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.…

After Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz accepted the Democratic nomination for vice president on Wednesday, CBS’s Stephen Colbert reacted on a live edition of The Late Show by claiming that day three of the DNC was “another powerful evening” that “was about remembering that America is good and that we shouldn't give in to hopelessness.”

President Joe Biden, at the Democratic National Convention, said, “Donald Trump and the Republican friends, they not only can’t think; they can’t read very well. Seriously, think about it. Look at their Project 2025.” OK, let’s take Biden up on his offer “seriously” to think about those who “can’t read very well.” The convention is in Chicago, the adopted hometown of former President Barack…

CNN This Morning repeatedly runs the clip from the DNC of Tim Walz's son Gus getting emotional and pointing to his father: "That's my dad." The panel collectively tears up, with Mark McKinnon saying "do you have any tissues?"
