Today

The Saturday editions of NBC’s Today, ABC’s Good Morning America, and CBS Saturday Morning all mentioned Republican objections to Friday’s announcement that David Weiss was named special counsel in the Hunter Biden investigation, but only CBS managed to remember the IRS whistleblowers that give GOP accusations that Weiss initially negotiated a “sweetheart deal” an…

In an update to a story first published by our Kevin Tober, the “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC were still out to lunch as of Thursday morning on a stunning revelation a day earlier from the House Oversight Committee that $20 million in foreign money have gone out “to the Bidens and their associates,” including ties to oligarchs in China, Kazakhstan, and Russia.

The major broadcast networks have made no secret that, above actual issues such as crime and the economy, they want voters to have Donald Trump’s criminal indictments and January 6 top of mind as they consider what matters for 2024. As such, they’ve spent over 335 minutes on the third indictment alone. On Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, ABC and NBC cheered the changes to Governor Ron…

UPDATE, 08/11, 11:25 a.m. Eastern: Few things were going to eat into the precious airtime on the flagship morning and evening newscasts of ABC, CBS, and NBC and time to spend on the third Trump indictment. But something as apocalyptic-looking as the Hawaiian wildfires did just the trick. Between Thursday night and Friday morning, the networks only added 32 seconds to the coverage tally,…

Possibly out for redemption in the eyes of her fellow liberal journalists after her infamous October 2022 interview with now-Senator John Fetterman (D-PA), NBC correspondent Dasha Burns interrupted, lied, and smeared her way through the first portion of her sit-down with 2024 GOP presidential candidate Ron DeSantis on Monday’s Today.

Through four days and three installments each of the flagship morning and evening news shows on the major broadcast networks, ABC, CBS, and NBC have eagerly doled out astounding 162 minutes and 16 seconds through Friday morning salivating over the third criminal indictment of former President Trump that has the potential to either land him in prison or propel him to the White House in 2024.…

On Wednesday afternoon, NewsBusters brought you the tally of broadcast network coverage of the third Trump indictment as having stood at roughly 70 minutes (70:41) on the flagship morning and evening newscasts of ABC, CBS, and NBC. Unsurprisingly, the coverage ballooned ahead of Trump’s arraignment Thursday afternoon on charges relating to his conduct on and prior to January 6. The total this…

Subbing for boss Tim Graham, Associate Editor Nick Fondacaro and dove right in Wednesday with reaction to the unprecedented third Trump indictment, including the astounding totals of coverage on ABC, CBS, and NBC. Spoiler alert: This has given the networks the perfect excuse to wave goodbye to any and all Biden scandals for an indefinite period of time.

With Tuesday’s third indictment of former President Trump, the “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC had their ticket out of having to acknowledge the scandals surrounding the Biden family, including reasons to continue skipping Burisma bribery claims and no longer probe Monday’s testimony from Hunter Biden’s former business partner, Devon Archer. Between their flagship Tuesday evening (24…

After being no-shows on Monday’s NBC Nightly News, NBC arrived via Tuesday morning’s Today to Devon Archer’s damaging remarks behind closed doors to the House Oversight Committee about what he saw in his time as Hunter Biden’s longtime business partner and confidant, including their stint on the infamous Ukrainian energy company, Burisma.

NBC News has parlayed being the first of the broadcast networks to report on President Joe Biden finally acknowledging his 4-year-old granddaughter into lionizing him Monday morning for taking that long and withstanding the criticism. Meanwhile, ABC and CBS didn’t want to stick their necks out that far as they spent barely over a minute (64 seconds) of combined time on the story over the…

On Friday morning, NBC’s Today was the lone flagship broadcast network news show to keep alive coverage of Hunter Biden, his life of corruption, and the shocking collapse of his shady plea deal with his father’s Justice Department (after ABC’s World News Tonight was the only PM show from Thursday to do so). And not only did NBC rehash that, but correspondent Ryan Nobles even…

Ahead of what was supposed to be Hunter Biden’s Wednesday morning court appearance to plead guilty to tax charges and instead turned into a not guilty plea due to a stunning breakdown between the legal teams and the judge, ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Today were in full spin mode for the Biden family and the Biden 2024 campaign and thus engaging in election…

Between Monday and Tuesday, four new Biden family scandals emerged, ranging from Hunter Biden’s artwork to business dealings inside Delaware to conflicts of interest in his tax probe to a former ally finally agreeing to spill the beans to a House committee about the Biden family’s ties to Burisma. If course, none of these scandals made it on the flagship morning and evening newscasts of ABC,…
