ABC’s GMA Skips Biden Axing Border Rule Set to Trigger New Crisis
This week, word trickled out that the Biden administration would move ahead with long-rumored plans to let Title 42 end, which was a COVID-19 rule implemented by the Trump administration to expel most illegal immigrants to prevent the spread of the virus. But with future illegal immigrants set to storm the U.S.-Mexico border in what would be yet another “Biden Border Crisis,” ABC’s flagship…
Late to the Party: WashPost Runs Bombshells Confirming Hunter's Laptop
Late Wednesday morning, The Washington Post decided that, as our Tim Graham tweeted, Democracy Has a Sunrise instead of Dying in Darkness as reporters Matt Viser, Tom Hamburger, and Craig Timberg published two bombshell articles acknowledging the existence of the infamous Hunter Biden laptop and detailing the First Son’s life of corruption as it relates to a Chinese energy company.…
Go Figure: WH Reporters Refuse to Ask Biden Flack About Hunter Biden
White House communications director Kate Bedingfield took her turn Tuesday at the Briefing Room podium as the fifth person to speak to reporters and, predictably, the issue of Hunter Biden’s life of corruption didn’t come up over the 80 questions from reporters despite her own record dismissing the infamous laptop as Russian disinformation.

261 Days Later: NBC Finally Mentions Hunter Biden’s Name
After a 261 day break, NBC on Wednesday remembered that Hunter Biden existed and actually uttered his name. But, of course, don’t think the network has changed.

Nets Find ‘Controversy’ in Banning Sex Talk With Kindergarteners
On Monday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed into law the “Parental Rights in Education” bill which bans teaching children in Kindergarten through third grade about “sexual orientation and gender identity.” If you thought the bill’s final passage meant the media would stop freaking out about it, think again.

SHOCK: Nets Hammer Biden’s ‘Horrendous Gaffe’
We’ve reached another unspinnable moment in the gaffe-prone administration of Joe Biden.

259 Days Since the Network Newscasts Said the Words ‘Hunter Biden’
It has now been 259 days — 37 weeks — since July 12, 2021. That's when any of the corrupt network newscasts last uttered the words “Hunter Biden.” Scandal after scandal, nothing seems to shake the determination of the ABC, CBS, and NBC morning and evening news shows to keep the public from knowing about the President’s wayward son and his sketchy financial and foreign dealings.

While Thursday’s CBS Mornings was off on an emotional bender for Biden Supreme Court pick Ketanji Brown Jackson, ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Today were also in the tank for Jackson, reporting her “historic hearing” featured her “facing down Republican attacks” over a “bitter,” “emotional” “heated,” and “intense” few days that ended with a “pep talk” from…
As Gas Prices Skyrocket, Nets Let Biden Escape Blame
Americans over the last month have been enduring painful, skyrocketing gas prices. The impacts are echoing out to all parts of the economy and squeezing already stressed wallets.

His role has almost entirely been ignored. From February 24…
