With Republicans in control of the vaunted Washington, D.C. trifecta, not even the left-wing news media have found a way to blame the ongoing government shutdown on anything other than obstinate Democrats. That’s something of a rarity for the corporate media, who historically have found a way to blame Congressional Republicans for every shutdown in recent memory.

On Wednesday, the late night comedians received their government shutdown-related marching orders. To listen to them is no different than any generic Democratic member of Congress who portrays the shutdown as a showdown between Democrats, who want people to have healthcare, and Republicans, who do not.

Season 51 of NBC’s Saturday Night Live is set to premiere on October 4, but before that a new NewsBusters study looked back and found that 82 percent of Season 50’s Weekend Update jokes targeted conservatives and that 60 percent of its cold open political characters were conservatives or Republicans.

Apple and Microsoft joined Google on Wednesday in ignoring right-leaning news about the government shutdown. 

Despite the only group standing in the way of averting a government shutdown at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Wednesday are Senate Democrats, ABC, CBS, and NBC have all taken their side in demanding a permanent extension of ObamaCare subsides that were meant to be temporary during the pandemic (along with a whole host of other goodies, including refunding PBS and NPR). Shutdowns have long been something…

NBC’s host of The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon, stopped by CNBC’s Squawk on the Street on Tuesday to promote his new On Brand. While there, co-host Carl Quintanilla naturally asked about the state of late night, especially in the aftermath of ABC’s brief suspension of Jimmy Kimmel. Fallon insisted that his show isn't that political and contrary to all evidence, that “…

One of the side effects that the Comey Indictment has wreaked upon the Acela Media is its inducement of a 180-degree turn on prosecutions perceived to be political. It’s (D)ifferent, you see, now that Resistance FBI Director James Comey is going to face trial. 

Since Wednesday’s deadly attack on a Dallas, Texas Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) facility by an anti-ICE loon, ABC, CBS, and NBC followed an identical pattern from their coverage of Charlie Kirk’s assassination by cowardly refusing to tie the incendiary rhetoric from their own side about the Trump administration and its supporters to crazies taking matters into their own hands. …

ABC’s Good Morning America — helmed by co-host and former Clinton official George Stephanopoulos — was beside itself on Friday and enraged over Thursday’s indictment of former FBI Director James Comey, calling this a sign “norms...have been shattered” about an independent Department of Justice with “President Trump’s retribution campaign” having “reached a new and ominous level[.]”…

There’s no other way to say it: A new report shows the Trump economy has continued to defy expectations, but you wouldn’t know any of this watching the ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts.

While they certainly had other things to do (such as comparing President Trump to Richard Nixon for wanting to prosecute James Comey), ABC’s Good Morning America waved goodbye Thursday to the liberal media’s gross canonizing of far-left late-night Jimmy Kimmel for his six-day timeout for his conspiratorial and vile comments about the Charlie Kirk assassination. CBS Mornings and NBC’s…

Despite Wednesday’s Dallas Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) facility shooter having scribbled “anti-ICE” on an unused bullet and, well, attacking law enforcement, NBC correspondent Priscilla Thompson channeled her liberal media comrades from the early days after the Charlie Kirk assassination by ruling on Thursday’s Today the “motive remains unclear” for why someone would…

ABC, CBS, and NBC were exuberant on their lead Wednesday morning news shows over far-left late-night host Jimmy Kimmel’s “triumphant” return late Tuesday to ABC after his six-day suspension, radiating joy for Kimmel’s “emotional,” “heartfelt,” and “passionate” monologue that doubled as a “searing defense of free speech.”

As the position has often done the week of the annual United Nationals General Assembly (UNGA), Secretary of State Marco Rubio made the rounds Tuesday on the broadcast network flagship morning news shows. Unsurprisingly, ABC’s Good Morning America was the worst, thanks to co-host and former Clinton flack George Stephanopoulos shouting at Rubio, accusing the U.S. of killing innocents…
