State of the Union

The Elitist Media’s Sunday shows wasted no time in giving airtime to the recent lurid allegations that have surfaced against Congressman and California Gubernatorial candidate Eric Swalwell (D-Fang Fang). But their coverage itself seeks to avoid some of the broader substance of the issues.

Sunday on CNN's State of the Union Host Jake Tapper used the guise of Easter Sunday to present what he called a "special conversation" with the Senior Pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, who turned out to be Democrat Senator Raphael Warnock of Georgia. The 11 and a half minute sit-down turned out to be what many will surly  consider one of the more disgraceful left wing…

The thing about watching coverage and analysis of the ongoing Iran operation is that you think it can’t possibly get stupider. And yet, each day’s stupidity is surpassed by that of the next. We are now at the phase of discussing Iran’s memes, a discussion that CNN’s Scott Jennings rightly mocked.

The Elitist Media Sunday Shows did their part to elevate and promote the astroturfed “No Kings” rallies throughout the country as some sort of organic expression of discontent against the current state of affairs. Only one of those shows featured any sort of conservative pushback against this premise.

The Elitist Media continue to circle their wagons around embattled Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL), providing near-zero coverage of the latest episode in this ongoing saga. The omission campaign has now extended to the Sunday political affairs shows which, with one exception, a throwaway segment on CBS’s Face the Nation.

The hypocrisy of the left in this country, and the lengths to which their enablers in the leftist media will go to push a narrative would be laughable, if it weren't so potentially dangerous. On Sunday's State of the Union, CNN host Dana Bash was interviewing House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and had him weigh in on a Truth Social post by President Trump, where he called the…

CNN’s Jake Tapper ended today’s edition of State of the Union with an editorial defending the Elitist Media’s coverage of the ongoing military operation against the Iranian regime. Tapper took exception to social media posts by President Donald Trump and former Bush White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer. In the process, he reminded us that those who live in glass houses should…

I’m old enough to remember when assassination attempts against sitting or former Presidents of the United States were covered by the Elitist Media as a breaking top story. Apparently, not anymore and certainly not on Sunday mornings if it means cutting into D.C.-based political affairs shows.

We are a little over 8 months away from the 2026 midterm elections, but 2018 positioning is already in the air. CNN made sure to get that ball rolling with an early potential candidate interview: California Governor Gavin Newsom. The interview, conducted by State of the Union co-host Dana Bash, centered around the release of Newsom's memoir “Young Man in a Hurry.” The interview was as…

On CNN's State of the Union, host Jake Tapper repeatedly tries to lure Tom Homan into bashing DHS Secretary Kristi Noem--but the border czar won't bite, saying, "It’s one team, one fight. I’m not going to divide this administration.”

As you may know by now, there is an ongoing environmental disaster that threatens to, well, soil our nation’s 250th birthday celebration in the Washington, D.C. metro area and beyond. A burst pipe has dumped millions of gallons of raw sewage into the Potomac River, which poses a major problem once springtime comes to the nation’s Capital.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered an address before the Munich Security Conference that was warmly received and met with rapturous applause. And if you were waiting for the Elitist Media’s Sunday shows’ analyses, you might think the speech never happened at all. 

On Sunday, CNN’s Dana Bash interviewed Maryland Governor Wes Moore (D-Md.) on State of the Union for nearly nine minutes, but she failed to ask about the Washington Free Beacon's new report on how Moore has lied for many years about his own life story.

We often accuse the Elitist Media, with a decades-long body of evidence here at the Media Research Center, of conducting themselves in a manner similar to that of progressive activists. On rare occasions, they also act as policy advisors.
