STUDY: Despite Massive Media Attack, Trump Popularity Has Grown

A  new Media Research Center study found ABC, CBS and NBC devoted massive quantities of airtime (a whopping 1,608 minutes on just the three evening newscasts) to promoting the legal efforts against Trump, nearly all of it (95%) fiercely negative.

NB Podcast: Trump Is Shot, Somehow You Can't Blame Leftist Hot Talk

Donald Trump was shot in the ear on Saturday night, and the networks tried to be calm. But a spin did emerge. Republicans can't blame Democrats for inspiring violence based on all their talk of Trump being Hitler, Stalin, Mao, the Covid killer, or any of that rhetoric. That's quite a flip from what they've done to Republicans in the past.

CNN’s Daniel Dale Returns To Ridiculous Form For RNC Coverage

It wasn’t that long ago that we featured CNN’s Daniel Dale popping out of a box of Tim Horton’s and fact-checking President Joe Biden, albeit meekly. But don’t fret.

HOLT-BIDEN INTERVIEW: The Temperature Has Not Been Lowered

NBC’s Lester Holt sat down with President Joe Biden for a much-hyped interview that would kick off Biden’s counterprogramming of the Republican National Convention, which kicked off tonight. Despite President Biden’s calls to lower the temperature in the wake of the failed attempt to assassinate former President Donald Trump, his rhetoric remains pretty much the same and met little pushback…

Joy Reid Fears Trump Will Be Able to ‘Rewrite Himself’ as ‘a Victim’

ABC’s The View – like the rest of the liberal media – had used incendiary rhetoric against former President Trump for years and had hosted many calls for violence against their political opponents.
